Lumpy, thick & smelly item.
1 Star
Lumpy, thick & smelly item.
I had high hopes for this shea butter ointment, but alas, it turned out to be nothing short of a moisturizing catastrophe. From the moment I cracked open the jar, I was hit with a pungent odor that resembled a blend of expired coconut oil and rancid butter.Applying this so-called "ointment" was like spreading gritty sandpaper across my skin. Instead of the promised smooth and creamy texture, I was met with a grainy, clumpy mess that refused to absorb. It felt more like I was exfoliating my skin with gravel than nourishing it with shea butter.As for the moisturizing properties? Non-existent. Not only did this ointment fail to hydrate my skin, but it left behind a greasy residue that made me feel like I'd been dunked in a vat of cooking oil. Forget about wearing clothes after application unless you want to turn your wardrobe into a slippery, stain-ridden disaster zone and be left with clumps all over your skin.Save your skin, save your senses, and save your sanity. Steer clear of this shea butter nightmare unless you enjoy the sensation of rubbing gravel-infused grease onto your skin. Consider yourself warned.Do not buy. Would not recommend. Zero stars if possible.Tried to rectify with the seller, but he/she was rigid, so it's come to leaving a bad review. Sorry not sorry. Take a look at the image for reference; the lotion SHOULD NOT look like this (I've purchased from a different site in the past).

5.0 out of 5 stars Gritty? Here’s a fix!
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2019
I almost didn't buy this because of the "gritty" texture reviews but I read on multiple sites that it is NOT a sign of a bad product, that it's just an issue of it melting then solidifying slowly. Mine was soft enough that I was able to easily get it out of the tub and into a glass bowl. I put about 2" of water in the metal pot and set it to boil then put the glass bowl on top. It melted perfectly (took about 7-10 min to melt) then I poured it back into the tub and put it in the freezer for a few hours. The finished product is smooth shea butter that isn't gritty at all.

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.
