BEAUTY WITH HUMANITY
Our products contain amazing plant-based ingredients such as USDA Certified Organic and Fair-Trade Uganda NILOTICA (Nile-ot-i-kah), a rare relative of shea that delivers superior softness and barrier-restoring benefits to skin. We employ low-income women in the Nile River Valley to harvest, produce and export Nilotica, empowering them with fair-wage, dignified work.
Pure Nilotica Melt
Certified organic, cold-pressed Nilotica from 70 wild-harvested Nilotica nuts. That’s the only ingredient in this luxuriously rich balm-to-oil: the purest form of LXMI’s signature skin superfood. The whipped-effect formula melts instantly upon application, delivering barrier-supporting essential fatty acids (+25% compared to traditional Shea), the same powerful antioxidants as in green tea, soothing allantoin, and Vitamin A, E + K to hydrate, brighten, and protect skin — for a healthy, radiant complexion.
Use it as a deeply nourishing overnight mask, nutrient-dense moisturizer, barrier-restoring slugging balm, as a healing salve for dry spots, hands, sunburns or scars, or throughout the day as needed. It is so safe you can eat it, making it great during pregnancy, for new parents and on newborn skin.
WHAT IS IT
The Melt is 100% plant-derived, vegan, organic, cruelty-free, gluten-free, unscented, unrefined, social impact-sourced, noncomedogenic (meaning it won't clog your pores), and dermatologist approved. It works wonders.
The hybrid formula starts as a creamy balm, MELTS on contact with skin, and transforms into a luxurious oil. The Melt is made from cold-pressed Ugandan Nilotica nuts, wild-harvested along a remote stretch of the Nile River. Related to the shea nut, Nilotica has a softer texture and superior nutritional density. The region’s unique soil biome yields pure Nilotica with uncommonly high concentrations of nutrient-rich bioactive compounds.
BENEFITS
Nilotica is naturally rich in:
VITAMIN A (a precursor to retinol), which supports natural collagen production and promotes cellular turnover for brighter, smoother skin.
VITAMIN E, which helps to reduce inflammation, keep skin clear, blemish-free, and deeply moisturized without irritating.
VITAMIN K, which helps to reduce puffiness and dark circles, boosts skin elasticity, and promotes wound healing.
ANTIOXIDANTS, especially in the form of Catechins, which is the same antioxidants as in green tea. Great for free-radical defenses to fight fine lines, UV damage, and discoloration.
ALLANTOIN to calm irritation and reduce redness.
25% more ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS compared to regular Shea butter - to calibrate and restore a compromised skin barrier, gently smooth texture and reveal glowing, healthy skin.
