When LXMI’s founder, Leila Janah, came across nilotica butter (a rare nut butter that’s similar to shea) at a market in Uganda, she was astounded by its effects. Used by local Ugandan women for millennia – women in the region are known for their incredible skin – this moisturising miracle swiftly transformed Leila's dry, travel-worn skin from lacklustre to luminous. Formed from the highest grade nuts in the most pristine areas of the Nile River Valley, Pure Nilotica Melt is a single-ingredient skin saviour designed specifically for your hands and body. Delivered as a luxurious balm-to-oil, which nourishes thirsty skin to help smooth visible imperfections, leaving you with the most gorgeous glow from top to toe. Rich in essential fatty acids (25% more than in traditional shea butter) nilotica also contains natural vitamin crystals that dissolve into skin upon application. Used whenever you need it, Pure Nilotica Hand & Body Melt has received a host of rave reviews on LXMI’s site. What’s more, the brand’s admirable commitment to ethical trading means that the local Ugandan women employed to produce the nilotica are always paid fairly – up to three times the average local wage. Transforming your skin and the fortunes of its producers, there’s nothing not to love about LXMI’s sublime range.

Stir the Melt with your cooling copper-tipped wand. Apply as a salve to dry skin as needed, focusing on face, lips, and around eye orbital areas. For a glowy effect on low necklines, apply to your décolletage. Additionally, use as an overnight leave-on mask.
