Ivory Raw Unrefined Shea Butter 3lb

I ordered this Shea Butter 6 months ago because I am allergic to EVERYTHING!! I started making my own oils/lotions/shampoos as a result and started ordering from a different company. I was very disappointed with the other company's level of service - often times it took two weeks to get my order! Also, the last order I placed was supposed to be Ivory Shea Butter and they sent me the standard yellow Shea Butter that stinks to high heaven!!! Needless to say I was skeptical when I saw the Shea Butter claims from smellgood. I placed my order and it arrived in about 4 days. Even better than that, when I opened the box it was a beautiful off white color and it was so SOFT!! It had almost no smell - there was a little of that earthy smell that is characteristic of Shea Butter but it was so light, my essential oils blended right in. Because of that I'm actually saving money - everyone knows how expensive essential oils are and I don't have to use as much with Shea Butter from smellgood. Since I started using it my skin is silky smooth (I've had no allergic reactions whatsoever!!) My stretch marks have become significantly lighter and you can barely see them. I also use it for my daughters and I've noticed the scar on my oldest daughter's leg is barely visible and her acne scars are all gone. We all have healthy, glowing skin - even my husband!!! It whips up so light and fluffly and mixes great with aloe vera gel, carrier oils, and any essential oils you can think of. I can't say enough good things about this product!! If you have problem skin and are looking for a good company with a great product to order from, smellgood is the place to go. I'm almost out of Shea Butter and I just placed another 10 lb order - I'm so pleased with them I also placed an order for 10 lbs of black soap too!!! Ok, enough of my ranting, try it for yourself and you'll see!!

Great quality. Leaves the skin feeling soft.

This made a great base for my homemade body butter. It came packaged in 2 bags and weighed just over 3 lbs. I bought this because it was the best value with overall good reviews. This will make a lot of body butters and lotions. It is a nice ivory color with the typical earthy shea butter smell. After I whipped my body butter it was a nice white color that looked similar to Nivea body cream. Mine was pure and it didn't have any dirt, shells or other bits in it like some other users experienced. I will use it to make my face moisturizer for acne prone skin as well. I definitely recommend this product and will purchase it again.Here is my body butter recipe if anyone is interested. I'm including links to the products I used.1/2 cup shea butter1/4 cup raw, unrefined coconut oil Carrington Farms Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, 54 Ounce1/4 cup sweet almond oil (or another oil of your choice) NOW solutions Sweet Almond Oil, Moisturizing Oil, 16 ounce10-15 drops essential oil of your choice if you want it scented (I used lemon) Now Foods Lemon Oil, 1 OunceMake sure all your utensils and containers are clean and sanitized. I wash mine in hot, soapy water, rinse and then spray with 91% rubbing alcohol and let them air dry or dry with a paper towel if you're in a hurry.Melt the shea, coconut and almond oil in a double boiler over low heat or in a glass bowl in the microwave on 50% power.Stir occasionally to combine.Set bowl in the fridge or freezer until the edges (at least 1 inch or so around) have solidified. If it is mostly solidified, that's ok as long as you can still easily stick your finger in it. Make sure it isn't too runny or it won't whip up.Add your essential oil if you're using any.Whip with a hand mixer or in a kitchen aid for 3-4 minutes until it is a whipped cream like consistency.Scrape into clean, sanitized jars and store at room temperature out of direct sunlight. I used these jars 2 Oz Cobalt Blue Glass Straight Sided Jars, Lids Included, (12 Pack); Great for Creams, Cosmetics, Lotions and MoreThe finished product made approximately 12 oz. and this should have a shelf life of at least 3-6 months.Hope this helps :)
