They definetely changed the formula because it smells bad. It didn’t smell like this before so I’m very disappointed to lose a staple.
Will not repurchase

This feels very nice BUT It smells like fresh tar. The smell is so incredibly strong that I am unable to use it. Also this tub was only half filled when purchased- that feels like a ripoff.
THANK YOU

I like how it moisturizes my hands but has horrible smell! It says unscented but very unpleasant smell.
Excellent product!

Lovely body balm! Melts and spreads easily and truly moisturizes without leaving a sticky, tacky feel. My sensitive skin loves that it's fragrance-free!
Nice product but not for me

I found out that I’m not a fan of Shea butter. I’m sure people love this product but it’s not for me as I like something more emollient and creamier for my extremely dry skin.
Thankful skin!

I too, was shocked and appalled that 2/3rds of the product was missing, and I only just now noticed that it says 4oz on the description. Why would they use the same size container as the 11oz??!! Seems misleading. Anyway, the product itself is good, works well, has a light scent without being overpowering, and much easier to use than the pure shea butter, which is so thick that I have to dig it out with a tiny spatula.

I like that this is a multi-use product that the whole family can use. Great for skin and hair. The scent has mild shea and coconut smell. It is a thick consistency that absorbs well. My skin felt hydrated after each use. Overall, a great product.
works great on whole body

I love this product with its natural, skin healthy qualities. It moisturizes my 80 yr. old skin better than anything else I have tried over the decades. I use it all over my body morning and evening. It doesn't stain my clothing. It is worth every penny, especially since it is fair trade.
Superb for Dry Skin

My skin is very dry. I received this in a swag bag on about two year ago and have been using it since. Love how thick it is and that emulsifies with body heat. Great for dry skin!

I like that it's unscented although ppl should note that the shea butter itself does have a slight scent. Not the easiest to start rubbing in but does leave skin super smooth. kind of unbelievable how light the package feels but does seem like it'll last for a bit

Makes my skin feel so soft and moisturized all night. My favorite thing about this product is the the fact that after I take my shower and I put it on, it doesn’t feel like my pores are trapped making me feel like I need another shower. It’s very breathable on the skin and goes a long way.
Feels so good
