Leila Janah founded LXMI after a chance discovery at a Ugandan market of the rare shea butter, Nilotica, the certified organic skin superfood that became the inspiration and signature ingredient for the brand. She coupled her passion for sharing her new skincare secret with the opportunity to empower East African women through the sourcing, harvesting, and exportation of Nilotica. 

LXMI unites undiscovered, effective natural ingredients with transparent, responsible production and sourcing practices. Luxury, natural, organic facial care products made of the purest, rarest ingredient - Nilotica. Packed with vitamins A and E for luminous skin.
