Natural Farms 1lb 100% African Shea Butter from Ghana

Arrived in a nice minimalist package as pictured. Has an good expiration date which is something I wasn't expecting considering this is the first time I've ever order shea butter. Definitely firm but soft and moist enough to easily work with. I plan on making body butter with it one I get the French Lavender Oil I order hopefully tomorrow. I'll give an update on how it workout once I've made my first batch. So far very pleased with the natural scent and color.

I have allergic reactions to everything, including hair conditioner, so I thought I'd give Shea butter a try. I did not react to it. In fact I put it on my hair before I wash it and let it sit for a couple of hours. It gets my hair really soft and then I wash my hair and while the shea butter is washed off my hair has this very very soft texture from the shea butter. And my hair feels different but I can't explain how. I also use it to protect my hair from heat when I flat iron my hair. Shea butter has a very high smoke point at 430 degrees so I use it below that amount to protect my hair from damage. You can also use this as a skin lotion. I bought this a year ago more than a year ago and I think it expires December this year. So hopefully they will have this in stock again so that I can update my current one.

Not disappointed! Will buy again! Good packaging, good quality, Shea butter

Amazing quality and value! I was very skeptical about buying this product since some reviews said it had a bad odor and was poor quality. I have purchased quality shea butter in the past from reputable sources for a lot more money and this is absolutely pure raw shea butter. The smell is absolutely raw shea butter. For someone who may not have used raw shea butter before, the smell may be a little strong but the shea butter I received is definitely raw shea butter and smells exactly as it should. I live in the high desert and needed a long lasting moisturizer that would last and is natural. This is perfect! It did come in a plastic bag (1st picture) as others have said but not a problem for me. It did come in big chunks (2nd picture) as others have said but I just cut it up into smaller chunks with a knife no problem. I whipped it (with an electric hand mixer) with oils such as coconut oil, grapeseed oil, and virgin olive oil. This was my first attempt at whipping it and I love the smooth creamy texture! I also added pure essential oils for scent such as vanilla, orange, and lavender. I did have to add more oils than I normally would to my homemade oil mix of coconut oil, grapeseed, olive oil, and avacado oil that I use daily. I highly recommend researching a recipe to whip it and you will be so happy you did! I will definitely buy again!

No bad smell, melted easily, smoo6

I LOVE the tins of shea butter from L’Occitane, but i always feel like I have to use them sparingly because they’re $40 for 8 oz, so i started looking for a replacement. I previously ordered some UNrefined shea butter and it smelled terrible. But this refined shea butter is completely scentless in my opinion. It leaves my sensitive, eczematous skin super supple and smooth with no allergic reaction. It is perfect and a total steal compared to L’Occitane! Love it and will definitely be ordering again and again!

Lovely ivory color, no visible impurities. Good medium-solid consistency at room temp, but squeezable, and massages into skin in a minute or so. Left my hands feeling great; and my cuticles, which are currently a mess, less crispy. ;) Packaged in plastic bag inside sealed foil. Distinct scent - not unpleasant - when foil first opened, but that dissipated a lot after it got into the air. (Still in plastic bag.) Good odor, too. Nice and nutty, no rancid taint. Expiration date a year from now. After trying on my hands, can only catch a hint of fragrance from that, which I find pleasant. After massaging a minute or so, I left it while typing this. Felt a little bit buttery, but by now it's sunken in all the way, leaving no residue, just softness.I'm definitely going to keep some of it in original form for use as a butter. I'm a type 2 diabetic, and also have a heart condition, with permanent circulatory damage to one lower leg from a fall. As is, this will be really great caring for the skin on my feet and leg.

Color: IvoryAroma: subtle earthy / nuttyTexture: Hard, then creamyPackaging: Block and chunks in a tied bag inside a ZipLoc bag which is heat sealedI recently tried the Yellow Unrefined Shea butter African Shea Butter 100% Natural 16oz and loved it so decided to try this.The aroma is similar to but more subtle then the yellow Shea Butter. I suspect (but haven't tried) that if you mix in with fragrance oils it won't be noticeable.The texture is similar to a somewhat hard (e.g. slightly warmed up out of the fridge) stick of butter - hard / firm when you squish in your hand them collapses into creamy. But unlike butter no apparent transition to "oily" (this is also different than the Yellow Shea). It simply becomes creamy. You can feel those fatty acids forming a "glove" only molecules thick protecting your skin, sealing in moisture. Even. After. Repeated. Hand. Washings.If you spoon / smash this into a small container (so you don't have to constantly go into the bag) it'll end up creamy.I'm a noob to pure Shea Butter and at the same time from what I can tell this is the Real Deal.Really glad I purchased this.
