Many times, our customers who have dry skin complain that Shea butter is too thick, leaving them feeling uncomfortable.
An alternative to Shea butter is Shea Oil which is extracted from the shea nut and cold pressed.
Shea oil is easy to apply to the skin and absorbs quickly, it can be used on the face and body as part of your day and night skincare routine.
Shea oil is not common in the market as it is a relatively new bi-product which farmers/manufacturers are producing, in order to optimise production of shea.
Benefits of Shea Oil
✔ Deep Hydration, Zero Grease
Packed with oleic and linoleic acids, Shea Oil penetrates deeply to moisturise the skin without leaving a heavy residue—ideal for facial oils, serums, and lightweight moisturisers.
✔ Vitamin-Rich Skin Food
Naturally abundant in Vitamins A, E, and F, it supports cell regeneration, improves skin tone, and helps reduce the appearance of scars and fine lines.
✔ Calms & Protects Sensitive Skin
With anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, Shea Oil is ideal for formulations targeting dry, irritated, or eczema-prone skin.
✔ Lightweight, Yet Powerfully Nourishing
Perfect for consumers who prefer a silky texture over the heavier feel of butters. Use in spray oils, baby care products, or as a base for natural sunscreens.
✔ Non-Comedogenic & Gentle
Suitable for all skin types—including acne-prone—thanks to its low comedogenic rating and skin-balancing properties.
All of our products at Nzema Appolo are ethically sourced, effective, 100% cold-pressed, unrefined, vegan and cruelty free with no additives or fillers.
