I received my Shea butter and found that it had small dark (brownish) colored spots in them.. Is that normal?

Yes no worries. The discolorations are normal. Its a lot easier to use if you get a "whipped shea butter recipe".

I haven't found any yet but I wouldn't be suprised if it was part of the shell

I use the yellow shea butter and have never found dark spots. My daughter uses the white and she has found random dark spots. She thinks it may be particles from the shell of the nut.

Don't know why it is brown, but yes it is normal. Just trust it. This has been my easiest summer yet taking care of my pool. This product is amazing

That means the Shea butter you received is filthy and non filtered, unfortunately so many sellers who sell unacceptable quality product that we throw in the garbage and never dare to sell. you have the right to get the highest quality for you paid for.

For me, there is a very light white coating as I'm rubbing it in. It fades quickly once rubbed in and given a minute or two to absorb and dry. I've been very happy with it. I have medium/relatively fair skin. Might be a different experience for those with darker skin tones.

There is going to be a distinct odor that closely resembles Shea butter so that's normal. However, if it smells too odd or has some weird discolorations, I would be leery. Hope that helps. If not let me know.

Yes it is. The consistency should b different. Cocoa butter seems harder and lighter in colour

None that I've ever purchased has had dark brown spots. I might be a little suspect of that.

Hi Marion, thank you for contacting us. To answer your question, some Shea butter can have a gritty texture, however, our Shea butter does not. We take great care when handling our Shea butter to keep all of its vital vitamins and for it to have a smooth texture. Remember to keep it at room temperature and not to use extreme heat or cold with the butter, this will give it a grainy texture and also destroy it's great healing powers. I hope this answers your questions please feel free to contact us again. Chemekx

I use it under - massage into the dark spot and moisturize over. It seems to have faded the spot quite a bit, although it's not gone yet. Good luck!

My more minor ones are pretty much gone, my deeper ones seem a little smaller. I've only been using the cream for about a month now, so I figure over time the deeper ones will diminish completely :)

I purchased the 1mm derma roller and used it once so far on my face. I was wondering if anyone had a problem with hyperpigmentation after rolling? I saw two spots on my nose the next day that werent there before. I didnt use sunscreen though! anyway, I really want to continue use but afraid to use it again due to this issue. could it be that I have light olive skin or because I didnt use suncreen?

yes. although their new packaging does not reflect it. i remember vetting the company prior to purchasing. many of the companies in Africa that sell whole shea butter are owned by women and the companies keep true to the original custom of making the product.

yes, the coloration in shea butter can vary a few shades and it is still perfectly fine.that kind of thing happens with raw products that haven't been melted down and mixed.

As shipped, my Shea Butter came darker than pictured and it does have a hint of green. When melted, it is absolutely green, however when whipped, surprisingly it is cream in color. I also added equal amounts of coconut oil before whipping it - not sure if that helped in change the color. I may look for another seller, but I think this is acceptable quality.

If the spots are not very dark you will see them lighten. I have one that is darker and it has gotten better but still is visible. It takes time though and patience. This has worked as well as pricier OTC products. If you want faster you will need a prescription. Worth a try though for the price.

I think it is NOT normal cause i got the same from Amazon and it not in original package.I suspect the package and I found some hairs(small). So i believe it used product.I gonna return this product.So...... AMAZON IS CHEATING US.

The color of my serum 10 is a medium golden amber color definitely not a dark brown. I would suggest checking with Skinceuticals directly and providing this information for the most accurate answer to your concerns.
