Two holistic steps,
done beautifully.
Two of our most-loved formulas, together in one kit. Crème du Nil, the nourishing daily moisturizer that hydrates seamlessly under makeup, meets Pure Nilotica Melt, the pure barrier balm that doubles as an overnight mask. Simple enough to keep up every day, and thoughtfully paired for soft, radiant skin.

Radiance,
around the clock.
The science of glow
Radiance relies on water-based hydration and oil-based moisture: hydrated skin looks plump and even, while a smooth, moisturized surface reflects light evenly, amplifying natural glow. Crème du Nil delivers both, for a luminous finish with or without makeup.
Extra support overnight
At night, skin’s barrier naturally becomes more permeable, so water loss tends to rise just as renewal is at its most active. The Melt’s nourishing lipids help skin retain moisture, while giving overnight renewal the extra support it needs.
Thoughtfully made
Both formulas are hypoallergenic, clinically tested, free of petrochemicals, silicones, and other ingredients that don’t serve your skin, and full of botanical goodness that nurtures it holistically. For healthy, vibrant skin, with benefits that compound over time.
24-hour, 28-panel clinical test. Expert-graded results.
Dark glass and aluminum.
Crème du Nil comes in a 50ml recyclable dark violet glass jar that protects the formula from oxidation. The Pure Nilotica Melt comes in a 50ml tube made from 100% recycled aluminum, which is infinitely recyclable and keeps damaging light out.
Subscriptions include a complimentary LXMI Copper Wand with the first order; one-time orders can add one at checkout.
How do I use the AM/PM Kit?
In the morning, smooth Crème du Nil over cleansed skin to hydrate, soften and smooth. It works on its own or as a base under makeup.
In the evening, warm a blueberry-sized dollop of Pure Nilotica Melt between your fingertips and massage into your skin as the final step of your routine, to replenish the barrier and lock in moisture overnight.
For extra-dry skin, apply Crème du Nil first, then seal with the Melt on top. And on days your skin needs a little extra care, a touch of the Melt on dry spots, hands, lips or cuticles works wonders anytime.
How is the Melt different from petroleum jelly?
Slugging means applying a rich final layer at night to lock in moisture, and it’s traditionally done with petroleum jelly. Petroleum jelly works by sitting on top of the skin to slow moisture loss, but it doesn’t nourish the skin itself, and it’s derived from petroleum, a non-renewable fossil fuel.
The Melt offers the same moisture-locking benefit, but it works with your skin rather than just on it. Nilotica’s essential fatty acids resemble the lipids in skin’s own barrier, helping replenish it, while its vitamins A, E and K, antioxidants and soothing allantoin nourish as it melts in. All from a single, renewable, so-clean-you-can-eat-it, certified-organic plant ingredient.
Is the squalane in the Crème du Nil animal or plant-derived?
Plant-derived, from olives. The whole kit is fully vegan and cruelty-free.
Will the AM/PM Kit clog my pores?
The kit is formulated to be non-comedogenic (which is skincare lingo for a product that does not cause blocked pores). In the Crème du Nil, we also added Hibiscus to further smooth texture and refine your pores, without irritating your skin.
Even though Pure Nilotica Melt might feel rich, Nilotica is naturally non-comedogenic, so it also won't clog pores. Furthermore, the Melt is actually deeply soothing and can help balance and clear up blemish-prone skin. Hope this helps! Thank you for your question.
How come the Melt is so popular among pregnant women and moms?
Pure Nilotica Melt is one of the safest skincare treatments to use during pregnancy and works great for moms. It's even so clean you can eat it, and we definitely recommend our delicious chocolate truffle recipe that includes raw Nilotica!
Massage the Melt onto your belly to help keep skin elastic during pregnancy, as a nipple cream for nursing mothers, or onto sensitive newborn skin to help with rashes and keep skin nourished.

How do I use the Pure Nilotica Melt?
The Melt is the ultimate multi-tasker. It’s popular as a concentrated moisturizer, overnight/in-flight mask, lip treatment, after-sun or ski balm, shaving cream, beard balm, on dry hands and cuticles, dry spots and elbows, small cuts, burns, split ends, & more.
A blueberry-sized amount is all you need, so a little goes a long way! Just massage in a bit of balm anywhere your body is needing some extra TLC.
What is the Pure Nilotica Melt?
A deeply nourishing overnight treatment to moisturize dry, damaged skin, support a healthy barrier and smooth visible imperfections. Made from 100 percent organic, wild-harvested, cold-pressed Nilotica from East Africa.
The buttery formula melts instantly upon application, delivering essential fatty acids, soothing allantoin, the same antioxidants found in green tea, and vitamins A, E and K to nourish, brighten and protect skin — keeping it healthy and vibrant at any age.
LXMI sources Nilotica from the pristine Nile River Valley in Uganda, where local women are known to have glowing skin despite the harsh climate. The region’s rich, alluvial soil lends a unique terroir to our hero ingredient, yielding Nilotica with uncommonly high concentrations of nutrient-rich bioactive compounds.
What is the metal knob accessory with the Crème du Nil?
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 for giving yourself a cooling and refreshing lymphatic face 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?
Absolutely! None of our products, nor any of our ingredients, are tested on animals. The line is Leaping Bunny certified, and every product except Goddess Glow, which contains a trace amount of carmine, is fully vegan.
What does social impact mean?
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!
