Certified organic, cold-pressed Nilotica from 70 wild-harvested Nilotica nuts. That’s the only ingredient in every tube of 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 the Melt 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.

A deeply nourishing overnight treatment to hydrate dry, damaged skin and smooth visible imperfections with 100% organic Nilotica Reserve™ from the Nile Valley.
The ultra-nurturing facial balm the Melt is 100% organic, cold-pressed Nilotica. The buttery formula melts instantly upon application, delivering powerful antioxidants (the same as found in green tea!), soothing allantoin, vitamin A, E & K, and 25% more essential fatty acids compared to Shea butter. It's great at moisturizing, brightening, and protecting the skin — helping to keep the barrier healthy and limit the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
LXMI sources Nilotica from the pristine Nile River Valley in Uganda, where local women are known to have glowing skin despite the dehydrating climate. The rich, alluvial soil of this region lend a unique terroir to our key ingredient (Nilotica), earning it the distinction of Nilotica Reserve™.
- Dryness
- Dullness and uneven texture
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- A compromised barrier and skin sensitivity
Yes it is! This formula contains 0% water, which allows it to be stable after opening. Just keep your product away from the sink, and you shoudn't experience any contamination issues.
The tube format is extra helpful in maintaining optimum performance, has a smaller carbon footprint (lighter packaging takes less fuel to ship), and is more travel- and gym-friendly.
Thank your for your question!
Yes, it's a great combination! 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 and give yourself a lymphatic massage. You'll find that it provides a cooling and refreshing effect that stimulates the skin as you massage. We'd recommend specifically using it on the undereye area, to help reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness!
A social impact brand differs from a regular business, whose primary focus is profit. Like a non-profit, the main driver for an impact brand is to make a difference - but it sustains itself through the products or services it sells (not donations).
LXMI’s impact mission centers around uplifting marginalized women & Indigenous communities and protecting biodiversity through ethical + regenerative ingredient harvesting. For us, doing good isn’t an add-on or an afterthought to doing business — it’s the foundation. Business is the vehicle, not the end goal. We exist to create meaningful change for people and the planet, and commerce is simply the engine that sustains and amplifies that impact. Thank you so much for being part of making a difference!
I truly love LXMI products. I use the melt night and day, on face and body. I have recently begun to use the lip melt as well. These are wonderful, pure products with a social conscience that really deliver.
