However, the tree can grow for over 200 years. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo make Shea Butter, first the shell of the nut is cracked from the fruit. Here the nuts are washed and dried.

Our Nilotica comes from Uganda and is obtained through cold-pressing from the nuts of the East African shea tree (\u003cem\u003eVitellaria paradoxa subsp. nilotica\u003c\/em\u003e). The butter is unrefined, fair trade and retains all its natural vitamins and scent. The texture is noticeably softer than the more familiar West African shea, with a mild, slightly nutty aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt room temperature, Shea Nilotica is already partially soft and spreadable, and melts completely at skin temperature. A beloved butter for those who find West African shea too hard or too aromatic, and for those seeking a creamy, easily workable butter for both direct use and DIY.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its soft, mild character, Shea Nilotica is also a fine choice for caring for and protecting delicate baby skin.

Oleic acid is a soft, liquid fatty acid and stearic acid is hard.

This castor oil is 100% plant-based and organic and is carefully made from seeds of the green fruits from the wonder tree: the Ricinus Communis. The tree is cultivated in India, East Africa and the southeastern region of the Mediterranean Sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes castor oil so special is that it consists of about 85 to 90% ricinoleic acid. This is a unique fatty acid that occurs in virtually no other plant oil. It gives the oil its thick, viscous texture and its reputation for richly nourishing and enveloping skin, hair, eyelashes and eyebrows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you use Castor Oil for your hair?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCastor Oil is the oil to give your hair the ultimate care. Castor Oil makes damaged and dull hair (from for example dyeing, blow-drying and styling) grow longer and healthier, giving you beautiful and shiny hair again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply a little oil to your hands and distribute it through lightly damp hair and on the scalp. Let the oil work for a few hours and then wash the hair with your usual shampoo. Castor Oil is a full and thick oil and can sometimes be difficult to wash out of the hair. Therefore it is advisable to dilute the oil with a lighter oil such as almond oil or coconut oil. You can apply the oil to your hair several times a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you use Castor Oil for eyelashes and eyebrows?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCastor Oil is a popular natural remedy for eyelashes and eyebrows, but apply it wisely. Pure castor oil is too thick and viscous for the fine hairs, and mainly stays as a film layer on the outside. Therefore always dilute the oil with a lighter oil such as jojoba oil or argan oil, in a ratio of about 1 to 3. This way the hairs are nourished, shiny and fuller in appearance, without becoming too heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor convenience, apply the mixture to an old mascara brush or cotton swab, so you can distribute the oil evenly over the eyelashes and eyebrows. You can use the oil daily. Be careful that the oil doesn't get into your eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you use Castor Oil for your skin?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCastor Oil has a special role in skincare. Due to its thick structure it stays on the skin for a long time and forms a protective layer that prevents moisture loss. But what makes castor oil really special is that it actually works very well for oily or combination skin. That sounds contradictory, but the ricinoleic acid has a light cleansing effect and helps dissolve excess sebum, without drying out the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTherefore castor oil is an ideal ingredient in an oil cleanser. According to the oil cleansing principle, oil dissolves sebum, not water. A mixture of about 20 to 30% castor oil with 70 to 80% lighter oil such as jojoba oil or sweet almond oil cleanses the skin thoroughly without disrupting the natural skin barrier. Massage the mixture into dry skin, place a warm washcloth on it and wipe off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you use Castor Oil for your beard?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCastor Oil nourishes the beard like no other. Through the stimulating effect, bald and thinner spots in your beard are intensely cared for, so that a full and even beard grows again. Castor Oil also works effectively on the mustache.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply the oil to your hands and massage into beard and mustache. Give some extra attention to the spots that could use more oil. You can use the oil daily, but applying it two to four times a week also works perfectly for the desired effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTips when using Castor Oil\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCastor Oil is a remarkably thick and viscous oil. This is normal and comes from the unique composition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor use on hair, on eyelashes and eyebrows or as a facial cleanser, it's best to mix the oil with a lighter oil such as jojoba oil, argan oil or sweet almond oil.
