Organic African Shea Butter for All Hair Types and Skin Types, 13 Oz

B.W.: I previously purchased the yellow version of this and the smell is nasty that I'm not using it so I hoped this white would be better. it is a bit better but still not great. whatever I add it to is dominated by the off smell.

Thatiam: I have used this product over the years and it delivers on its promises. It is non-greasy and absorbers very quickly into my skin. It is exactly as described and it has a light, natural fragrance that is not offensive or overpowering in any way. Once applied, it does not have any smell at all. Wonderful, very smooth texture. Love it 😍

WHY!: This product should have a safety seal on for every one's safety. This could possibly be harmful to someone, because it can be tampered with and cause physical and bodily harm to someone. It smells good I'm just nervous to use it because of it doesn't have a seal on the container once opening the lid. It's just a jar a lid thrown in a plastic package.

Shopper GirlShopper Girl: I loved that this shea butter, was easy to use, and it felt great on my skin!!
I noticed that other buyers stated, that the Shea Butter arrived in a hardened state, and may have been difficult to use at first.
I agree, but after I started using it, in a circular motion, the shea butter softened due to the warmth of my fingers/hand.
There are so many claims on the Internet stating that, their Shea Butter is the real thing, that it makes it the decision to purchase difficult.
But after you find the product that works for you, you tend to stick with it.
I'm certainly very happy with this product, and I will not only purchase again, but I will make myself an Unofficial Ambassador for this product.
I have found the skin moisturizer, that helps with all my ailments.
I'm already planning to make my next purchase!

JillianJillian: I personally prefer refined when making soap and bath products, but I get this product if I run out since soap suppliers take a while to ship, or if I want unrefined for a specific batch.

It's good quality, and the price is decent. The small tubs are easy to work with. If you haven't used natural butters before, be forewarned, they have a pretty intense smell. It's not bad, per say, but it is distinct, and personally reminds me a bit of play doh or something. Theg also tend to have "detritus" in them, usually little specks and plant material. Once it's melted, it's easy enough for me to strain the bigger impurities out. I'm pretty sure I had a small spider in one batch, but that's the nature of unrefined butter, so if that's something that squicks you out, buy refined instead.

The color is more grey/beige than white, but again, that's the nature of unrefined products. For my purposes, it works perfectly, especially since the lye in soap tends to kill everything. I probably wouldn't use unrefined for lip balm or leave on products like body butter, unless I was really leaning into the "all natural" aspect.

Update: 10/2023
My most recent batch had a good deal...

Mary Lois: He usado shea Butter pura y sin refinar por al menos 10 años y está es la primera vez que compro esta marca, no volverá a suceder. Siempre la mezclo con algún aceite de calidad (extra virgen) para que quede un poco más blandita y usarla sin tener que esperar que se ablande o ponerla en baño María... Y la de otras marcas se integra bien y queda igual que la manteca de Karite, sólida y color marfil, bien integrada... Y con esta el aceite se separa y la manteca queda grumosa, no se integran, al ser dos grasas no debiera haber problema. Aunque la etiqueta dice que es pura, los hechos muestran que no! Definitivamente NO volveré a comprar esta marca. Volveré a life-flo, que es más cara, pero la diferencia es mucha!
