In case you are looking for ideas or new ways to use your Shea Butter. Here are a some tips:
Shea Butter by itself can be used to moisturize chapped skin and to maintain soft skin on hands, face, hair, lips, feet basically all over.
I mix my Shea Butter with Coconut Oil (another favorite) and this makes it melt really easy and apply quickly. No need to warm it up as much.
I mix Shea Butter with naturally scented lotion on days I want to add a scent but need the added moisturizing power of Shea Butter.
You can mix Shea Butter with any lotion or leave in hair conditioner (particularly for curly hair) for added hydration. it helps keep hair soft and doesn't build up on hair.
If you are new to Shea Butter and looking for a product that will provide excellent moisture and hydration to your body this is a MUST have. I highly recommend!
And I like NOW brand Shea Butter. This inexpensive and decent quality Shea Butter is exactly what I need in my cold and super-dry climate. It doesn't cost an arm and a leg so I can use LOTS of it. And it isn't a mineral oil laden artificial product so I am not worried about toxicity. I put it on my hands and heels daily for super soft and smooth skin. The texture is gritty when applied but I attribute that to the dry, thin, cold climate where I live. Once massaged into warm skin, it gets melty and smooth and absorbs in.
The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of five stars is that it is NOT organic. For that reason, I'll probably be on the lookout for something comparable that is clear of all toxins. However this product is Hexane free, which is a good thing. For the time being, NOW Shea Butter is fine with me and I'm not too worried about it. If organic is important to you, then you probably won't be satisfied with this product.
Shea butter is the only completely NATURAL product that rivals petroleum jelly for it's ability to super-hydrate and hold moisture inside the skin. But petroleum jelly is definitely a super petrochemical product and therefore not something I am comfortable using. In my area, it is important to have the heaviest, deepest moisturizers available and that is shea butter. Here in the Rocky Mountains, the conditions are the acid test for any skin moisturizing product.
If it works here, it will work anywhere! Highly recommended!
This has made my old stretch marks harder to see and prevented me from getting any new ones. I went from 116 pounds to 150 my first pregnancy and still did not get a single mark on my stomach. I am a firm believer that this Shea butter is the reason why!
Yes it is thick and oily. I just designated a few shirts to wear when I used it that I didn’t care about. This oil basically destroyed those. They always feel greasy no matter if you wash them. In my opinion it was a very small price to pay for the success of this product.
