Skin Saver
By CADmonkichi
I ordered this product hoping it would clear up my keratosis pilaris on my arms and legs. As my skin also is affected by hyperpigmentation my KP bumps are also dark little spots. After the 1st application the size and dark color of the bumps have mainly improved. Amazing. I’ve used Lac-Hydrin (per dermatologist rec), cocoa butter amidst other lotions and nothing’s worked. I also have constantly chapped lips no matter what balm I used. I rubbed a tiny bit on my lips and this butter’s been far more effective than anything else I’ve used. I did observe there is a slight scent but don’t find it offensive.

Nice quality but pricey
By CheddarisBetter
I was attempting to find an unrefined shea butter, so it seemed that the reviews for the product are in general good.

The product is very nice quality–of course it has the unrefined shea butter smell. What is also nice is that it is not terrifically hard; it does not take a ton of crusade to dig a little amount out to use.

I pulled a star off, however, due to price. I’ve found other shea butter that is invented by reasonable trade, which is a lot more inexpensive than this product. The stuff I got, though, was of a harder consistency, which I did not care for much, but the quality seemed to be on par with this.

What IS nice regarding this product is that it is softer and comes in a nice jar….other stuff I’ve ordered comes in bags. I would order both, probably, because I like to keep the containers that the AAA Shea Butter comes in.
