In case you are looking for ideas or new ways to use your Shea Butter. Here are a some tips:
Shea Butter by itself can be used to moisturize chapped skin and to maintain soft skin on hands, face, hair, lips, feet basically all over.
I mix my Shea Butter with Coconut Oil (another favorite) and this makes it melt really easy and apply quickly. No need to warm it up as much.
I mix Shea Butter with naturally scented lotion on days I want to add a scent but need the added moisturizing power of Shea Butter.
You can mix Shea Butter with any lotion or leave in hair conditioner (particularly for curly hair) for added hydration. it helps keep hair soft and doesn't build up on hair.
If you are new to Shea Butter and looking for a product that will provide excellent moisture and hydration to your body this is a MUST have. I highly recommend!
I've used this brand shea butter before and like that it doesn't smell - that might mean it's not unrefined but for my purposes it's just fine. It's great as a body cream, it soaks in quicker than you'd think and moisturizes wonderfully. I also like it as a lip balm. I wish it was available in a small container for purses but I can do that myself once I buy a small container.

I wish it was available in a small container for purses but I can do that myself once I buy a small container.
A very small amount (about the size of a pea) melted in my hands and mostly used on the ends, then the very small remainder on my scalp makes a powerful source of hydration for dry hair in the winter without making it greasy at all. I have fine, abundant, dry hair that appears dirty very easily; but using shea butter on my hair and scalp seems to be able to moisturize both without making them look dirty at all.
The smell of this product is also quite mild and very natural. It has not triggered migraines for me—and I am extremely smell-sensitive—since I began using it over a month and a half ago, and I use it two to three times daily. Melting and mixing with your favorite moisturizing oils and essential oils makes for a very safe aromatherapy lotion for migraine-prone individuals.
Overall, this product has been amazing and essential in all of my natural skin and hair care products I’ve made. I will definitely buy again, and I would recommend this product to anyone.
And I like NOW brand Shea Butter. This inexpensive and decent quality Shea Butter is exactly what I need in my cold and super-dry climate. It doesn't cost an arm and a leg so I can use LOTS of it. And it isn't a mineral oil laden artificial product so I am not worried about toxicity. I put it on my hands and heels daily for super soft and smooth skin. The texture is gritty when applied but I attribute that to the dry, thin, cold climate where I live. Once massaged into warm skin, it gets melty and smooth and absorbs in.
The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of five stars is that it is NOT organic. For that reason, I'll probably be on the lookout for something comparable that is clear of all toxins. However this product is Hexane free, which is a good thing. For the time being, NOW Shea Butter is fine with me and I'm not too worried about it. If organic is important to you, then you probably won't be satisfied with this product.
Shea butter is the only completely NATURAL product that rivals petroleum jelly for it's ability to super-hydrate and hold moisture inside the skin. But petroleum jelly is definitely a super petrochemical product and therefore not something I am comfortable using. In my area, it is important to have the heaviest, deepest moisturizers available and that is shea butter. Here in the Rocky Mountains, the conditions are the acid test for any skin moisturizing product.
If it works here, it will work anywhere! Highly recommended!
