Pure Nilotica Melt
We recently switched our Pure Nilotica Melt from a jar to a tube — the tube contains more product, takes less fuel to ship (it’s a lot lighter than the jar), and is more travel and gym-friendly.
Ultra-Hydrating Facial Balm to Transform Dry, Damaged Skin
As a 100% organic, single-ingredient skin savior, this luxurious balm-to-oil deeply nourishes thirsty skin to help smooth visible imperfections. The texture starts as a silky butter, and then absorbs quickly into skin. The micro-crystals found in the Pure Nilotica Melt will dissolve on your skin, and prove that the nuts were cold-pressed in temperate Uganda v. refrigerated lab conditions. You can use as an overnight mask or throughout the day where needed.
Primary Ingredients:

HOW TO MELT

Questions & Answers
Ask a Question-
What is the metal knob accessory that comes in the box?
The copper-tipped applicator has two sides: one for scooping out the product (black, flat end) so you can distribute the right amount of product every time. The copper ball tip is for distributing the product across your face and décolletage, you'll find it provides a cooling and refreshing effect that stimulates the skin as you massage. We'd recommend specifically using it in the undereye area, to help reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness!

Is LXMI cruelty free?

"Discovering Nilotica Reserve first changed my skin, then my life. This miraculous skin superfood inspired me to found LXMI. Today we go above and beyond to source the best quality Nilotica with unique terroir, for a noticeable difference on skin. Plus, I insist we source from women who desperately need opportunities to lift themselves up."—Leila Janah, Founder
"For an overnight treatment, I recommend applying this Melt in a pattern like the LXMI seal. This technique ensures that you cover all the right contours, and the facial massage stimulates skin for a natural glow. "—Leila Janah, Founder
How do I use the Pure Nilotica Melt?
- Scoop with spatula and massage into skin.
- Use as an overnight facial mask, even around the eye orbitals, and throughout the day as needed.
- Wait one to two minutes for optimal absorption.
- If you feel a few microscopic crystals within your natural formula, they are normal and will dissolve on skin. Like imperfections in raw silk, these crystals reflect the unprocessed, natural state of LXMI's Nilotica Reserve™.

Precautions
Store in a cool, dry place, as direct heat can change product consistency (but efficacy will not be altered).
Should I use the melt under my makeup?
LXMI Pure Nilotica Melt is more of a buttery texture, so use under makeup only if your skin is thirsty and will absorb the product within minutes, or if you are looking to achieve more of a glowy (v. matte) effect.
*A trick of the trade for Melt: try mixing our formula with some of your drier makeup pigments, such as matte lip colors, lip pigments, and even eye shadows. Melt will make these products creamy and easy to apply, while preserving the shades you love.
Where should I use the melt?
We recommend using it where needed (dry cheeks, around the eye orbitals, and on the lips are our favorite places), or all over the face before bed as a leave-on nighttime mask. You won't believe how juicy and plump your complexion seems upon waking in the morning.
