I also got branzit , oil separated from granules - picture 1. I melted it on a steam bath, until it became a homogeneous oil, and then I put it in the freezer. After a few hours I took it out and it was homogeneous, left it at room temperature and now it's creamy indeed - picture 2. I read somewhere that the texture problem is from storage/transportation temperature.

I tested it from someone in a fluffy body butter, it's lovely!!! Put it on damp skin, especially when I had any skin problem (dry, cracked or irritated skin) it worked immediately!

Shea Nilotica er meget blødere end de andre she-smør. Det er en stor fordel i forhold til absorbstionshastigheden - rigtig lækkert produkt.

A very good product. I used it to make hand cream along with marigold extract and vitamin E. Emollient, nourishing. Odorless. I even used it plain. The portion of skin that I massaged it on, after several hours, didn't take on a foul odor, nor did the clothes, as it did after using other butters. This one and the cocoa one are the best!

Nilotica shea butter has a much softer texture and penetrates more easily into the skin than most butters, and I've used them all so far... Very rich in nutrients, it's a great cosmetic ingredient.

I made myself a face massage cream today with this oil. I whipped shi-nilotika, added liquid oil and gelled water, as well as a drop of vit. E. She did not add any assets, she wanted to see how she herself would behave. The cream turned out to be airy, directly weightless. The same cream on refined shea was thicker and denser.

Super oil!!! The texture is very pleasant. Tried in its pure form on the body and hair. Absorbed quickly. For dry skin it's the best!! It is a pity that there is no 1 kg in the package.

I used it to make the Nilotica Chantily Nilotica Chantily fluffy body butter, adapted, as I didn't have lipophilic starch. I used instead of the starch, rice powder approx 7 gr and pink clay approx 7 gr (I used slightly larger amounts than in the recipe). I had to use a bit more essential oil than I expected (to cover the earthy smell of the bacuri butter, which I don't dislike, but it was a different smell I was going for). I used a few drops of Fresh Hay, Lotus Foret, May Chang, and a little Sweet Orient as perfumes, I wanted it fresh uplifting, with a hint of Orient. I won't tell you that it came out deliciously fluffy and moisturizing, deeply nourishing and leaving skin very intensely protected! It doesn't penetrate the skin instantly, precisely because it's buttery, but it was mega appreciated by all who tested it :D
