A Story from the Founder of Secrets of Uganda
Here is Why My People Do Not Know Eczema
Growing up in Acholi, a region in Northern Uganda, I was always surrounded by the vibrant colors and rich traditions of my people. The Acholi have a deep connection to nature, and our land is blessed with an abundance of Shea trees. These trees are not just a part of our landscape; they are integral to our way of life and our well-being.
As a child, I remember my grandmother meticulously collecting the fallen Shea nuts, drying them under the sun, and then processing them into a soft, creamy butter. This was a ritual passed down through generations, and the resulting product was nothing short of miraculous. We used Shea Butter for everything – from cooking to skincare. It was our remedy for dry skin, burns, and even insect bites. But it wasn’t until I ventured out of my homeland that I realized how unique our experience with this natural treasure truly was.
The Secret of Nilotica Shea Butter
The Shea Butter we use in Acholi is not the same as the commonly available Paradoxa Shea Butter found elsewhere. Our Shea Butter comes from the Nilotica variety, which is native to just two African countries, including Uganda. This variety is softer, richer, and contains up to 30% more fatty acids, which makes it incredibly moisturizing and soothing.
When I saw how prevalent eczema and other skin conditions were outside of my homeland, it became clear that our traditional knowledge and natural resources could provide relief to many. In Acholi, we do not know eczema the way others do. Our use of Nilotica Shea Butter keeps our skin nourished, hydrated, and protected. This is the secret I wanted to share with the world through Secrets of Uganda.
