This shea butter feels "waxy" compared to shea butter I have ordered in the past. I believe it has been cut with something like beeswax. Is this true?

I'm not sure. But I think you maybe right, that it is cut with something else. This shea butter doesn't leave my hair as shiny as others I have tried. It live it looking dull and kind of stiff feeling. I wouldn't buy it again.

It says that this shea butter can be mixed with different oils. Try adding oils that are natural to help change the smell. Might not smell like candy but it'll be better .

Yes. The smell. The texture. It's all Shea butter. I've encountered the white Shea butter and that one is softer but they're the same.

This butter is very thick but soft at the same time. I don't know if you have used the Palmer's one for example, this one is way better and soft. That brand is so hard to apply and it is not African Raw Unrefined or Certified Organic. I highly recommend you to try this one.

Unsure, I enjoyed the product I got and will certainly buy it again when I need more product. I enjoyed the scent and texture it whipped up as when I blended it with essential oils/carrier oil for a body butter and I love how it feels on my skin. Maybe some people aren't enjoying that aspect and that is why?

Hi! I ordered this product not too long ago, and I received a 5lb block of yellow shea butter wrapped in a couple of layers of plastic in a box. It is a great quality. Hope this helps!

Its kind of like thick honey. As for shaving, your choice! Rub it in, well, to get to the skin (if you don't ).

The Shea Butter i received was definetly unfiltered and unrefined. I use it on my natural hair and to replace lotion on my skin. I will be purchasing again in the future.

I'll defer to the maker for the ingredients, but it doesn't feel like there's any petroleum jelly. This wax has a very firm texture that needs to be around body temperature or warmer to soften up to apply, and the smell (and lets be honest) occasional taste aren't petroleum jelly-like.

It's white (like an ivory white) and I believe it's unrefined. It's also not as oily as Shea butter.

Yes it 100% pure, unrefined, so in has a little bit of an earthy smell to it, it's not unpleasant at all though. I would imagine it's organic, it's grown from the trees in Africa. I made a body butter with it. I combined the shea butter and coconut oil with essentials oils and a tiny bit of beeswax and it's wonderful! I've given it to some of my friends and they all love it. If you are on Pinterest you can look up recipes for it. Hope that helped. I give the shea 5 stars (10 if I could).

depends how much you use. I have another product called Keratherapy and that is very waxy. This one doesn't come off on my fingers unless I rub it. Give it a try..I like this one and I'm scared to use others. Looks natural too!

I would answer no to this. When it arrives, it's the consistency of Shea Butter in it's naturally prepped form for retail use. In my opinion, it is pure and I appreciate that factor. I always blend and whip with natural oils to my liking anyway. I hope my opinion is helpful to you Khrystal.

Yes it is comparable but I definitely prefer the original in-shower body lotion with shea butter. To me it is a much better product. Love all of Oil of Olay products but this is my favorite.

Yes! Not too much. A little goes a long way. It has a more waxy feel than oily...in a good way.

The smell isn't great, but is very light (ie, doesn't stink once rubbed in or when combined with other oils/butters). I've gotten used to the nutty scent over time. As for organic, no, it isn't. It states "100% Natural" which we all know doesn't mean squat! lol.... FWIW, not sure what chems/fertilizers/etc are used in Ghana on its shea, but somehow I trust it more than the US FDA. ;-&gt;
