Customer Reviews of 100% Organic West African Shea Butter 16 oz
Customer Review: Without Instructions
Summary: 2 Stars
The article does not bring any class of instructions, or manual. Does not it say if should melt, ¿how to apply it?, ¿as Much as?, ¿as Many as days?, ¿applies during the day or at night? Al can be used same time with other products of beauty?
Comes in a transparent plastic glass of regular presentation, without labels. Presentation lacks him. The presentation is not adjusted to the photo. In the photo is seen well packed. But I arrive us in a glass in a cut, very hard block and packed of evil forms. Equal to the paraffin. Alone it has a small one sticker with a direction of a website, in which neither instructions they are found neither any indication on the product. Does not it include neither a photocopy with instructions. Every product of beauty brings indications on its use. But this not.
My mom it this using of difficult form, since to apply it in the skin in complicated by being a quite hard substance. For the hair is even more difficult to apply.
Does not it say if should be diluted with some substance or one must melt it. To my mom has touched her to be begin to guess the form to use it.
Customer Review: Creamy Shea Butter
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using Shea Butter for several years now and works wonders on my dry aging skin. Over the years I have found that whipping it makes it creamy and easier to use than in its natural form right out of the container. When you get your butter, empty the contents of the plastic container into your stand mixer (use paddle attachment) and mix at low speed at first to keep it from flying everywhere. Then increase the speed a little at the time. The butter will gradually heat up from the agitation and will become smooth. At this point you may add a couple of drops of essential oils to make it smell good or you can add a little jojoba oil which will double your moisturizing power. Please note that if you choose to heat Shea butter, do it gradually and at very low heat (I use a double broiler when I need to heat it) because it has a very low heat tolerance, if overheated you will end up with a gritty consistency that is not correctable. Note: if you do not have a stand mixer, you can use a hand mixer, but it takes a while to get it soft and creamy, so consider having a buddy to do relays on holding the hand mixer. Enjoy - hope this tip helps.Customer Review: Whats the big deal?!!
Summary: 2 Stars
Ok, I just got my raw Shea Butter today, and first off the container was dented and then duct taped like it had been thrown against the wall. When i first opened the container, the stench practically hit me in the face. It smells DISGUSTING!! When i tried to scoop some out, it was so hard and brittle i had to put it on top of my heater to soften it up a bit. When it finally started to melt (which it went from completely hard to oil), i put some on my hands and my face and it feels completely greasy, (i definitely wouldnt use it on my face during the day) and the smell is definitely lingering, so I'm going to have to wash it all off before work. I know that since this is a natural product, it takes a little time to "work" so I'm going to give it a shot. I'm just only going to use it at night so i can wash it off in the morning. I also bought the Dudu Osun Black Soap that i can't wait to try (it smells like pine trees) so maybe that will pair well with the shea butter. I just think that on first application, Vaseline with SHea butter moisturizes the same, if not better than the raw shea butter....and it smells a wholeee lot better!!!!Customer Review: Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried various moisturizers (high-end to low-end) over the years and never stuck with any of them for long. Oily feeling. No discernible effect. The heck with them.
Then a nurse told me about this shea butter. I just use it on my face and neck, sort of a combination pre-shave / after-shave / moisturizer. And now I use it on my hair and scalp.
Within two weeks of starting to use it, here's what happened. True story. I'm 62. Always looked a bit younger than my age. But I never had women I've known actually get wide-eyed and ask, "What have you done! You look incredible!" They actually thought I'd had "work" done.
What's amazing is that, nearly a year later and still using the butter daily, I still get those comments from women I might not have seen in awhile. (Guys don't go around complimenting each other on their skin.) So it's not a fluke, or my imagination.
It's the only skin-care product I've ever purchased (other than natural goat's milk soap) that's made any tangible difference whatsoever and that I will use for the rest of my life. Can't say enough about it.
Customer Review: PHENOMENAL PRODUCT...
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this raw shea butter primarily for my hands and for under my eyes, and I couldn't be happier. I do not like creams or moisturizers that are synthetic or chemical based, and besides the fact that they aren't healthy - they never, ever work as well as they claim! The shea butter is a natural, thick, super-moisturizing emoilent that really gets the job done. My skin has never felt better. I used it for two days under my eyes and saw fine lines diminish more significantly than with months of use with other products. I now use this product on my entire body, including my ultra-sensitive face and I absolutly love it. It smooths knees, elbows, and rough heels, softens cuticles, and eases skin irritation. You have to break off a chunk and rub it between your hands to get it smooth for application. Rub it in really well and your skin will absolutely glow!! In addition to being thrilled with the product, I was thrilled with the price as well. Go to your local health food store and check out the price of pure, raw shea butter and you will see that they can not beat this awesome price.
