You might also check out YouTube videos for different ideas on how to use it. I did so and found it helpful.

Yes, I have used both. L'occitane uses refined shea butter amongst other ingredients. Many of their ingredients are synthetic. The Essentials is pure unrefined shea butter. It is best used with jojoba oil and blended in a cuisinart or a blender. If you want the best shea butter, the Essentials that I purchased was a bit grainy. I have had great luck with smellgood here on amazon and on Etsy. Again, if you are looking for a great creamy totally clean product then you can buy from OraRubens. Etsy.Com -- where you can find a selection of different scents and have something made to your specifications. Yes, I have used both. L'occitane uses refined shea butter amongst other ingredients.

There might be some on the box but I can't remember. If you are still confused there are multiple videos on tricks you can do on YouTube.

Luckily I had a friend who taught me how to use it but I also used this YouTube video http://youtube.com/watch?v=6WFHqKTI9Lo

I am ready to buy this machine, but I would appreciate someone's review on extracting cream, butter, and oil from coconut with this machine. Thanks!

I don't YouTube instructions. I do know how to use it for concealing and contouring.

I mix it with Shea Butter, Grapeseed oil, vitamin E, Almond oil and heat it in the microwave and mix it. Let it cool for a bit and add Aloe Vera Juice and in a container at least twice the volume use a stick blender and whip it. I actually put the bowl in a larger bowl of ice while I whip it so you can get the consistency of a lotion. All of the ingredients are good for the skin, it depends on how much of each as to the oiliness of it in the end. You could just melt it and add water and whip it I suppose, or maybe glycerin and aloe instead of water. I am still experimenting, but if you are a member of Pinterest there are a lot of actual recipes.

I checked Essential Depot's website and there is no specific information. However, as Louise said you can contact the company. Most unrefined shea butters I have encountered came from Ghana.

if you melt the shea butter then blend the aloe vera into it, you shouldn't have any problems. What is this for? Bonnie

In the past I have purchased more commercially produced shea butter in jars. That being said, this one is very soft - more so than usual, a deeper yellow gold color and yes, very smooth and easier to work with. It also hasn't 'grained' up on me while melting for my whipped body butter recipe. Hope this helps! :)

Yes.. I scoop a little out and put it in a smaller container so it would be easier to soften. I use the Shea butter on my face. I am so pleased with this product.
