The cultivation of the trees and the production of Shea butter is designed to positively affect the biorhythms of the local fauna and flora and not to burden the environment. In comparison with his West African counterpart, the species Nilotica is softer and more intensely fragrant. 

It dissolves at body temperature, which helps it to be absorbed into the skin and hair faster and easier. It has better moisturizing capabilities.
