African Shea Butter 100% Natural 32oz

Updated Review 04/07/2023Purchased 29 times. (According to Amazon)Current ReviewLately, the shea butter has been very grainy once whipped. That doesn't mean it's bad, but I have to do more work to make my products. I have to melt the butter (Double Broiler Method), place it in the refrigerator to cool and harden, then whip it. I would really like to understand what is causing the grainy texture and would love for Smell Good to make it right. I still prefer their brand over others, but this process is inconvenient and slows down my processing time which is bad for my business.Previous ReviewThis product is absolutely Amazing!!! It is indeed 100 % Top Grade Raw Unrefined Shea Butter. I've used other brands in the past and this one is Number 1 on my list. I started purchasing this Shea Butter 2 years ago. I needed an all-natural Shea Butter to use for my Hair and Skin product line. I was very pleased with the fast shipping of my order and even more pleased with the quality of the product. The Shea Butter is soft and easy to work with. It blends well with other essential oils I use. My products have a nice, even, creamy texture that I just couldn't obtain using other brands of Raw Shea. Other brands required me to use mass amounts of essential oils to try to obtain the texture I get with this Shea and it never really hit the mark. With this Shea, I use very minimal amounts of essential oils to obtain the creamy texture I desire for my products. This Shea is very easy to apply to your hair and skin. Your hair isn’t weighed down; but instead, full of body and life. The natural smell of Shea butter can be a bit offensive for some, though the aroma vanishes once it has been applied to your skin within minutes. You can also try using all natural oils such as Peppermint, Lemon, Etc. to hold it at bay. The folks at Smell Good are also very professional. I contacted them once because my package took longer than usual to arrive. Within 1 business day, Smell Good resolved the matter by contacting my local post office and obtaining the information I needed to pick up my package. Another time I noticed a gritty texture and thought Smell Good had sent me a bad batch of Shea. I was upset because I had to refund one of my customers because they claimed they found salt in the product. I immediately contacted Smell Good and complained. While I awaited a response, I researched and found hundreds of blogs on this issue. I found that in warmer climates or during periods of high temperatures the product may become grainy. Smell Good replied with the same information and eased my mind. In my profession it is very important to have a quality product but it is equally important to do business with a professional company. I appreciate Smell Good for providing both.

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!!

Wow, I didn’t think it would have lasted as long as it has. Great product, I use it to make body butter
