Smellgood Smooth African Butter ounce Reviews Summary

Texture and Consistency

Pros:

• "Best Organic Shea Butter I've tried so far. I love it because its not super solid like others making it easier 'scoop' from the container and spread when I rub my hands together to smooth it out."
• "This is easy to apply, won't leave skin too oily."
• "It blends so well. It's not too heavy or sticky."
• "It's super smooth, melts easily on hands, comes in a really nice tub with lid, and is amazing at healing my kids dry, cracked hands from cold Minnesota weather!"
• "The product appears hard, but softens real nicely when I rub in my hands."
• "This shea butter is so creamy & smooth! I love it."
• "Underneath the top layer, the cream is smooth and silky."

Cons:

• "Not quite what I was looking for.. too solid and doesn't melt easily for use as a moisturizer."
• "This product feels grainy and adulterated and doesn't appear to be as much in volume as the first time I purchased it."
• "This is not the quality I have gotten used to. It is very gritty even after melting and rapid cooling."
• "Its extremely hard and once melted in hands it never penetrates."
• "Its not as smooth and creamy as I would like. Its 'grainy'."
• "The texture was hard as a brick!"
• "It's super hard until you warm it with your hands there are also some gritty things in it not in every inch but they are there."

Smell

Pros:

• "Has a decent smell, doesn't smell bad."
• "Another plus is the smell is nutty and with coconut oil - fab!!!"
• "Has a smokey/ nut smell to it."
• "I love the soft scent of the shea butter when I open the lid, which disappears instantly."
• "This cocoa butter also has a heavenly smell, much much better than the stuff I found at my local brick and mortar craft store."
• "I'm a big fan of the nutty, earthy smell of it."
• "It smells like real Shea butter."

Cons:

• "Be careful though, if putting on the butter and getting dressed really quickly as the yellow from the butter will come off on white clothing!"
• "Even though I knew it would have a smell I didn't realize how strong the smell would be."
• "I also noted the overwhelming smell."
• "It does have a slight off putting scent, which is just shea butter in general."
• "The smell is a little strange, but this is an inherent property of raw shea butter and the smell disappears after rubbing it into the skin."
• "This smelled absolutely AWFUL."
• "It also has a distinctly strong odor."

Packaging

Pros:

• "I received two 16 oz containers and they arrived wrapped, inside a box inside another box because it was originally sent by Smellgood to Amazon for shipping fulfillment."
• "This arrived neatly packaged and delivered on time."
• "The packaging is adequate - certainly nothing fancy - but my products arrived intact and I'm fine with not paying more for a fancy package."
• "The product itself is very good. The packaging was more than sufficient. The shipment was fast."
• "The container was jammed with as much product as it could possibly hold and it was very carefully double bagged to keep any leakage from spreading to my other products."
• "Mine wasn't cracked and was packaged in a way to keep it from breaking, which is obviously a plus!"
• "I am VERY happy with how it came. The packaging was perfect and also the container was in a great shape, high quality."

Cons:

• "When my product arrived, the container was cracked all over so now I can't set it in warm water to soften it."
• "However, when I opened the package the tub it came in was cracked in several places including the lid."
• "Love the Shea butter. The only problem is with the containers because they crack when opened almost like they are dry rotted."
• "When my package arrived the lid on one of the tubs was broken."
• "Opened up my box and package and discovered that the container that my shea butter arrived in was broken."
• "The item did arrive in a flimsy container that had cracked at some point in its journey to me."
• "The bottom part of the plastic container was shattered and upon taking off the lid the lip shattered as well."
