Patchouli and Buriti Infused Shea Butter from Nubian Heritage calms and soothes dry, irritated skin. Slather this rich body butter product on ashy elbows, rough heels and anywhere else your skin needs extra TLC.

We infuse our signature ingredient – certified organic fair trade shea butter from Africa – with essential oils of patchouli and buriti to bring even deeper moisture and heady aromatherapy to your dry skin care regimen. Newcomers to natural skin care may wonder exactly what is patchouli. Made from the leaves of an aromatic plant that’s related to mint, patchouli has an earthy, slightly spicy fragrance traditional cultures and nature lovers revere for its calming effect. As you smooth this luxurious shea butter lotion into your skin, the scent transports your mind to the ancient world as skin-loving nutrients bring out a healthier, more youthful appearance.

Anti-aging, brightening & nourishing. Certified organic ingredients. Humble Beginnings: Nubian Heritage is the brainchild of two New York street vendors. In 1992, fresh out of college and without jobs, Rich and Nyema embarked on a mission to produce luxurious natural products from traditional African recipes with organic and fair trade ingredients. Today Nubian Heritage offers hundreds of culturally authentic natural products inspired by global ancient healing philosophies. Although Nubian Heritage products are no longer made in bath tubs, little else has changed; the company still makes its products itself, still uses fair trade and organic ingredients and still invests in community commerce. 100% organic shea butter infused with patchouli & buriti helps to uplift, soothe and hydrate skin. Buriti oil’s high beta-carotene and vitamin E content works with essential fatty acids to calm and hydrate the skin in this total body balm. Made in the USA.
