Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've been using unrefined shea butter (mixed with aloe vera gel and some oils) on my hair and skin for a while now - this is not it.
People need to understand the industrial difference between organic and natural. Natural means that the product is processed, but nothing artificial is added to it. For all the ladies out there who are concerned about sodium laurel sulfate, a product can still be called natural even if it contains SLS! NOW Foods does specify that they do not use solvents (especially hexanes) in the extraction process and that nothing artificial has been added.
I figured by reading the reviews that this is refined, and not 100% pure as they advertise, by the description of it being a nice white color.
I bought this because it would have taken too long to get unrefined shea shipped in by the time I left for break. The organic store I went to charged $9.99 for it, which is part of the reason why I'm a bit peeved. But that is the price one pays for convenience.
As a skin moisturizer, this is great. If you warm your hands before application and rub really quickly, most of the grit can be melted. This shea glides onto the skin better than unrefined shea. It also sinks in and isn't as heavy. However, I really hate the grit!. And don't use this in your hair while it's damp. No matter how long you rub your hands together, there will still be white grit in your hair. My hair wasn't moisturized as well as had I used the unrefined shea.
I would buy this again simply because I wouldn't want to use up my hair shea on my skin. This melts faster, glides more easily and is basically perfect for skin application. As a moisture retainer for hair, it bombed.UPDATE:
After a few more uses I will not buy this again. The grit makes the product not worth it for me.
