Very fresh, smells good, smooth, soft shea butter cream.

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2023

Style: BarSize: 1 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

Wow! I really like the quality of this shea butter cream for face, body and hands. It is nice and soft, and it has a very fresh and slightly nutty smell to it. The slightly nutty smell is noticeable when applying on the skin but the scent goes away very fast, I really do like the fresh nutty smell of natural shea butter very much and its a very light scent but fades in scent after applying. This is the nature of real pure shea butter cream. The texture of this shea butter is smooth and the color is perfect. I bought special BPA free plastic container jars from Amazon so I can store the shea butter inside them. The shea butter comes in a nicely packaged bag, but I found it easier to transfer the cream into easy to carry jars with a lid for easy application and for traveling. I love the smell of natural shea butter and this one is very good and fresh, with a very light mild nutty scent. It leaves my skin soft and well nourished. A little bit goes a long way and I only need to use very small amounts at a time. I am extremely happy with this brand and product. I was planning on making a homemade hand cream with it and add some organic lavender to it but it was so great smelling by itself and the texture was soft and perfect I decided to use it in its natural state as plain shea butter cream straight out of the package. My skin is very sensitive and I can get rashes easily but this shea butter cream left my skin refreshed and healthy with no rashes and no problems. I am so happy I found this brand and that it really works great. I highly recommend this brand and this seller. It arrived early and in perfect condition.

S. Scruff

Delicious

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2014

Style: BarSize: 1 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

OK, so I bought this stuff because it looked delicious. No, I'm not going to eat it, but the photos of it looking like fudge just make it so appealing, am I right? You just want to take a bite out of it. It's actually edible, but my guess is it doesn't taste as good as it looks.

This stuff has a consistency similar to raw cookie dough. The photos are accurate. I chose ivory because I read that ivory shea butter is higher quality, which I can't confirm. When I first got it, I was impressed by the substantial feel and weight; I could tell right away that I have a lot of shea butter here, especially since I plan to use it straight as a moisturizer.

To use it, I remove a tiny piece, and I do mean tiny. At first I made the mistake of using a piece about the size of a nickel, and it covered my hands in a thick sheen of oil that I had to wash off. Way too much. Now, I use a piece maybe the size of a pea to do my entire face. It does not go on like regular lotion: you need to warm it a bit before it spreads, which takes maybe 10 seconds, and even then you need to use more force than lotion to spread it around. Sometimes I rub it between my fingers or in my palm, and sometimes I just press a little piece against my face and work it around, letting my face melt it. Ha, face melt. Anyhoo...

This stuff is an ingredient in many, if not most of the quality moisturizers on the market, and I'm starting to think that there are only a few key ingredients in moisturizers that really do anything and could work just fine on their own, but moisturizers blend in a bunch of filler ingredients to make it easier to use and save on cost. Shea is one of these, so I figure why not cut out all the filler and use the active ingredient straight? I don't know how accurate my speculation is, but I do know that this stuff moisturizes skin, and does it well. You have to work it in and be careful not to use too much, just enough so you can feel it on the skin. In about 10 minutes, unless you used too much, it absorbs into the skin, leaving behind a slight sheen that is more matte than many moisturizers I've used. It lasts a long time, too, keeping my skin soft most of the day. Allegedly shea is a natural UV inhibitor, which if true is a nice bonus, but I don't know what sort of SPF it achieves if so.

The smell is not wonderful, but not bad. It smells a little like slightly rotten vegetables, but not in an overly imposing way, it's very subtle (I have to practically stick my nose up to it to really smell it) and the smell can not be detected once it absorbs, at least not per my experience.

I wound up giving chunks of it to friends, and everyone has been impressed with it. At the rate I use it, this brick of shea would last a lifetime. I think it would be fun to use it as a base for making my own moisturizer, adding stuff like essential oil and food coloring maybe. Actually, I've heard that people use it as cooking oil, but I'm not sure that appeals to me.

so appreciative of this wonderful butter-

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2018

Style: BarSize: 1 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

This shea butter is fantastic. I made my own skin cream with it and other ingredients and also added 1 tablespoon of the finest ground used coffee grounds to those. I used my homemade anti aging moisturizer cream also as a face and bodywash. I first rinsed with water then applied the thick cream. I make mine in a very thick texture so a little goes a long way. I then wash and condition my hair while the benefits of the cream are absorbed by my skin, the steam of the shower makes this fast. Then I wash off the cream slowly so the fine coffee grounds do their work cleaning off any dirt while exfoliating my skin and adding more antioxidants to my skin. It is so amazing my own homemade skin cream works so well at both moisturizing and washing I have NO NEED to add other creams when getting out of the shower to my body or face. This saves a lot of time and my skin feels even better than when I was using expensive big name department store creams. My skin is firm and creamy feeling. I also do not have to put additional hand or foot cream on, this homemade cream is so fantastic. If you have time and the ability to make your own cream, I recommend it as the results are fantastic and also less packaging is used. I place my cream in a mason jar and to apply it I take a small amount out on a small spoon, then take my fingers and rub the contents of the spoon on my body. I recommend if making homemade skin cream with unrefined ivory shea butter that a large rocker blade is used to cut the bars and that an electronic scale be used to weigh the amounts of the butters. Large rocker blades keep the hands far away from the butter when cutting it and make it almost effortless even on a cool bar as leverage is used with them. I also recommend using a vacuum sealer that can be controlled so that it will not totally vacuum seal unless on the automatic setting such as the baked goods style feature many Foodsaver models have to store the unused butter. It does take a few hours to make a small batch (around one quart,) of homemade skin cream. I use one of my Aroma Professionals as a double boiler to make mine. I own a square plain glass pyrex style container that fits in the inner pot well and works great for this. I then fill the inner pot of my Aroma with water until just under the glass dish and place it on slow cook. There are usually many ways to fashion homemade double boilers from already owned tools to melt butters on low temperature if a double boiler is not on hand.
IMPORTANT NOTE WITH THICK SKIN CREAMS: If using a very thick anti aging moisturizing skin cream as I have described there is a technique I learned from one of the folks at Estee Lauder, makers of my favorite perfume Estee Lauder Pleasures. Take an applicator (for my homemade cream I use a small spoon,) and place some cream on it. Then take dots of the cream and place it on the face, being especially careful not to get too much around the delicate eye area. Then using a tapping technique with the finger, tap the dots of cream, moving the finger around keep tapping to apply it. The cream is absorbed by the skin and also maintains a protective layer of cream on top of the skin. This is better than rubbing it in as it utilizes the cream more effectively as less is used and it will last much longer. Wash the spoon before using more cream. Store the cream in tinted jars or in a dark place. I add ½ tablespoon of citric acid to my batches of skin cream. They start with 4 ounces of butter, 2 of cocoa and 2 of shae. I also add a pinch of Mrs. Wages Fruit Preserver and some lemon juice. I make one batch, the one I use as my all in one soap/moisturizer/exfoliator for showering, with a tablespoon of USED FINELY ground coffee grounds. In the other I make it the same way I just leave the coffee grounds out. I also use hyalauronic acid and other anti aging ingredients such as grape seed oil in mine and one of my favorite inexpensive store bought breams which contains a large amount of Vitamin E instead of adding distilled water. I MAKE MY CREAM VERY THICK, even thicker than the thickest Estee Lauder cream. I do rub the exfoliator one I use when I shower. The other I dot more. A little goes a long way. -Julie Sands
