Excellent quality shea butter! Creamy texture, melts easily on the skin and moisturizes intensely. Perfect for dry and sensitive skin, no disturbing odor. A must-have natural product!
It's very, very good. I use it in soaps, in creams, in hair preparations, only massage oils are the only products in which I don't use it. It's emollient, nourishing, regenerative, conditioning.
This shea butter is very nourishing, neutral odor with no impurities. Even though it is a few weeks past its expiration date, it still has the same organoleptic characteristics 😍
I picked up this product out of curiosity to use it with soap. Compared to the soaps in which I use the unrefined one, the ones with this shea butter come out a bit harsher, less creamy. It's good, for me it's something of a habit, so I prefer the unrefined one.
I use it very often in cold process soap recipes. It is a very good, quality product. I highly recommend.
is a good quality butter, I use it mostly in cold process soap recipes in various percentages.
It seems to be ok, no problems of any kind. I use it in body scrubs and various foot and general skin treatments. I am happy with it.
It is the butter I use most often for making body butters. I get on really well with it!
Good quality at good price, I have bought it many times, I love using it. I have used it in cream deodorant and in soaps.
I ordered the 25kg version to make soap. Since it's very strong at room temperature, it's a bit hard to get out of the bag, but not impossible :) It is good quality.
Shea butter is a very useful product especially for cold soap and more. I highly recommend it!
A good quality butter that I use in soap, body butter and creams. I highly recommend this product!
I use shea butter for body butters. A very good and high quality product. I recommend
I highly recommend this butter, especially for making soap, the soaps I made with it turned out wonderful.
Shea Butter is emollient and nourishing, it protects the skin, moisturizes, regenerates. I highly recommend it!
I have used it as such on hands or body, in CP soaps, in lip balms, in body butters. The lip balm has helped me to stop having chapped lips, a problem I used to have no matter the season.
An excellent ingredient with multiple uses: creams, ointments, soap. with particularly beneficial effects for hair and skin at a very reasonable price.
I use it to make body butter.It is the product that is the most successful and sells the fastest!
