does the ivory/white shea butter smell the same, better or worse than the yellow?

Not all shea butters are the same. I believe the nuttier smelling variety is more pure and better quality. The ivory is almost always better than yellow. Because of the increasing popularity of it; some sellers have been selling lesser quality shea butter. The nuttier scented variety is always the rawest and less refined .

Yes, shea butter is pretty solid, not a lotion but a "butter". I don't remember the jar being sealed but it was a long time ago that I bought it. Might be best to call the company to be sure. What do you thiknk of the scent? is it feminine, nice or is it more nutty, earthy smelling. Also, is it whiteish or more yellow/tan? Just curious what it is like now in 2014.

Sensitive has no fragrance while white is lightly scented. I believe that is the only difference.

Hi Alexandra, I use the Black soap with Shea Butter for face, body and my hair. I love the smell and you feel so clean after using the soap. I cannot remember what it smells like as it has been sometime since I had any of Dr. Woods Products. Like any soap used on the face avoid getting any in your eyes. As stated, I like the product with the Shea Butter...I did not have any issues after using, just fresh clean skin and hair. I also used it on my two year old grandson without any problems.

I prefer the 10 with keritin smell, it is really very pleasant. The regular 10 and the silky 10 have a lesser smell that is okay, but not as nice as the one with keritin. I love to smell my hair, and the odor lasts quite awhile.

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.

If you have used there other products, it smells the same. I love the scent, it isn't overwhelming at all. Hope this helps.

Greetings. I did taste the shea butter. It taste pretty much like it smells. I didn't cook with it,but I did read information on this grade of shea. You can cook with it,but I don't know which foods are good to cook it with. Hope this helps. God bless.

No, RAW shea butter shouldn't have a smell or ordor. I love it. I use this on my face every day.

No, not in the "raw unrefined" shea butter, and I prefer the ivory color instead of the yellow because it doesn't discolor my moisturizers, lip balms, etc. that I make with the shea butter and sell to others. I would not buy anything but the "raw unrefined" ivory shea butter from "smellgood" (seller). The unrefined shea butter still maintains all of the healing properties that do all of the absolutely wonderful things for your skin, and the refined shea butter has all the good stuff removed. Remember the more natural a product, the better it is for your body, or in this case your skin. I'm learning all kinds of natural beauty products to make with the unrefined shea butter, and everyone I have sole them too absolutely loves the results they get from using them, especially the moisturizer which was my first experimental product. It's actually very easy to make and only has 3 ingredients. What are your plans for the shea butter? Maybe I could help you out with some of my recipes and ideas, unless we are competing in the exact same market, I would be glad to share what I've learned thru months and months of research. You can email me at redeemernaturalhealthandbeauty@gmail.com. Put something like "Amazon Customer with Shea Butter Questions" in the subject line.

mine is not yellow...are you sure you ordered the white oil and not the one that comes with yellow/orange color/butter flavored?I have ordered two of the white oil and both are pure white, actually clear when melted...great stuff...it does not taste or smell like coconut like you think it would...it is not the same smelling stuff that you get for sun tanning! I use this for everything: cooking, skin, in my pets food...you can pay a lot more for small containers called organic or 100% pure but this is the same and a great quality and you can not beat the price...definitely NOT CRAP as someone stated. mine is not yellow...are you sure you ordered the white oil and not the one that comes with yellow/orange color/butter flavored?I have ordered two of the white oil and both are pure white, actually clear when melted...great stuff...it does not taste or smell like coconut like you think it would...it is not the same smelling stuff that you get for sun tanning!

Hi Marrissa, glad I can help, AIA smells really nice and sweet no buttery smell. I even stretched my butter cream by adding some melted coconut oil. It just made it creamy and better and yes you can use it as a leave in but use it sparingly.

As they are unrefined the fragrance is a natural nutty smell. Since buying this shea butter I prefer it to the Cocoa Butter, I have mixed my own blends with coconut oil and olive oil and whipped it up so its easier to use and you can always add fragrance a few drops of essential oil too

This company's shea butter is better looking, smoother, and smells better than the very yellow shea butter which is actually called river butter and is a low grade.

Lavender & Sage has a brighter, slightly stronger scent. I would have gone with the Cedarwood, except my son was there when I was smelling the store testers and he insisted the Lavender one smelled good and the other one did not. :-)

I honestly don't know.. My mom told me that white Shea butter heals the skin, so that is why I gave it a try. I have now been using it for a few weeks now and it has my skin soft and dewy. I also like the fact that it keeps your skin soft for very long periods of time. It in my opinion, was a great buy!
