Unrefined Grade Smooth African Butter Reviews Summary

Texture and Consistency

Pros:

• "This is smooth, silky, spreads quickly and soaks in quickly."
• "It was creamy, it melted down nicely, and whipped great!"
• "It’s extremely smooth and easy to apply on skin."
• "The butter was soft enough to simply rub in my hands and use as a moisturizer for the entire body."
• "Melts easily when you rub together in your hands too."
• "It is thick but with a little body heat, it melts perfectly!"
• "It melts between my hands with no problem and I'm confident that I can double boil it to add essential oils if I want to."

Cons:

• "Then I still have clumps of shea butter stuck all over me!!!"
• "WHAT A PAIN to get it out of the container. It is rock hard."
• "I chopped it finely and then added warmed coconut oil to it (as well as rosehip oil). I then beat it with a hand mixer- so at no point did I heat the shea butter, but it still became gritty."
• "also a little hard."
• "Abit grainy texture."
• "It's a bit grainy and takes a while to melt on my hand, but I think that's just how unrefined shea butter is supposed to be."
