SheaMoisture 100% Raw Shea Butter Ultra-Healing Moisturizer for Dry Skin

krs: I loved this product after my first purchase, but the second one is definitely different. The first one was smoother and blended in easily during application. The second one is grainy, sandy, and definitely doesn’t blend in when applying. It crumbles on the skin, like a scrub, but it’s not a scrub - it’s a moisturizer. I wish they’d bring back the original. Second purchase was disappointing. Will not be repurchasing.

Carol R: Upon opening the container, I wasn’t a fan of the smell. To me the odor is foul, but after using it a few days, it’s not as offensive.

If your shea butter is grainy and dry feeling, remelt it by placing the container in a hot bath of water. Stir constantly until fully melted. Then put the container in an ice water bath and keep stirring until it begins to thicken. Once it hardens it will be smooth and easy to apply.

I tried adding some wild orange essential oil to mask the scent and it didn’t work for me. Maybe a spearmint would work better. Anyway, this is good stuff and no added chemicals is a win for me.

Patilu: This is my third purchase of Shea moisture raw shea butter. This product that I received today is a little different than the first two in that it isn't white-ish, it is a light yellowish green. I searched online and found out that it's perfectly normal for raw shea butter to have that greenish tinge. It just depends on where the shea butter is from and how it was handled after it was gathered. I think that the scent is just a bit stronger then before, but it is the same scent. On me,the scent dissipates very quickly after I've applied it to my skin so it doesn't really bother me that it has just a tad bit of an earthy smell to begin with.
I sampled a little bit of the product I received today and I was happy to see that this shea butter melts very easily as soon as I put it in my hands, more so than the previous two orders that I received.
My usual procedure for using the shea butter is to whip the raw shea butter together with some macadamia oil, using a hand mixer. It results in a light whipped texture that spreads easily on my skin and absorbs well it in a few minutes. Maybe halfway through my use of the jar, I might need to whip the remaining shea...

CBKCBK: Trying to be careful about what I put into and on my body, I was looking for a moisturizer that had very clean ingredients. Decided to try this because it was 100% pure shea butter.

I think because of that, the scent isn’t very frilly. It’s more earthy, but it has grown on me after continued use.

Like some of the other reviews said (and as you can see in the 1st pic) this arrived separated and gritty.

But I tried what other people did to smooth it out and it worked! Slowly heated it up in the microwave (in batches) until liquidy, poured it back in the container, then put it in the freezer.
Once it came out of the freezer it was smooth!
I haven’t put it back in the freezer since, and it’s still smooth.

This is a little hard to dig out of the container, but once you get some on your fingers, just put it in your palm and rub your hands together to warm it up, and it spreads on like butter. (Ok, you have to work a little bit, but I count that as exercise). 😁

This soaks into my skin better than coconut oil. It’s greasy for a few minutes, but once it soaks in, my skin is just smooth, not oily.

Suzanne: I followed the instructions in another review, microwaving a portion 1 min at a time and carefully stirring it back into the jar until all the grains were melted into a clear yellow oil, then put it into the freezer to cool. Also, while it's liquid makes a great opportunity to add in some essential oils if you're into that. The natural scent is very light, just a faint earthy hay/cedar chips type smell, it probably would blend well with creamy/sweet florals or earthy scents like vetiver or patchouli.

Once the grains are melted, it's so soothing and moisturizing, just using the leftovers from stirring has already softened an annoying rough patch on my elbow, and my hands are silky. Really glad I didn't listen to the negatives on this one, I keep seeing consistently high quality ingredients from this brand. It seems like there was probably an issue in shipping temperature control for this batch. I understand not wanting to bother or give it as a gift, but it is very fixable.
