Unrefined, Ivory, African Shea Butter (16 OZ) with Pure Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil. Moisturizing Skin Care for Face, Hands, Feet & Lips. Natural Body Butter for Eczema, Dry Skin, Stretch Marks & Babies

This small company responded immediately & generously to my concern with grittiness in the product. Not only did they explain how to resolve this (by heating with a hair blower), but they offered to send me samples of their other Shea Butter products, which did not have this concern. A pleasure to deal with them!Francie N.

I absolutely LOVE Synergistic Living's Shea Nut Butter! I ordered the patchouli variety, and I could not be more satisfied. The shea butter itself is pure and organic and is so wonderfully moisturizing to the skin. Add to that the beautiful (personal opinion!) scent of pure patchouli oil, and the product is perfect for me. The amount you receive is a truly generous 16 ounces, and even with daily use will easily last for a few months or longer. Also, if patchouli is not your scent, Synergistic Living offers their Shea Nut Butter in a variety of other scents. I tend to like the woodsy scents, so I am also interested in trying the cypress and the frankincense varieties. If you like citrus scents, you will find the butter in orange, grapefruit and lime scents. They also have ginger-orange and lemongrass. For those who enjoy floral scents, there is ylang ylang and also lavender. There are plenty of others, too! All of the scents that Synergistic Living uses in their Shea Nut Butter are totally natural and beneficial essential oils. There are no perfume oils - which are filled with chemicals. I can put the shea nut butter on after shaving my legs, and they are still smooth and supple the next day when I shower! The butter is thick, and has to be rubbed in, but it is really not much more of a procedure than rubbing in a regular lotion. The benefits that you get from taking the few extra seconds to use the butter far outweigh the extra time you spend. My grown daughter wasn't sure that she would like anything as thick as a nut butter on her legs, but I told her that if you give it a try and stick with it for two or three days, you will see such an improvement in your skin that you won't want to go back to lotions. She finally tried the shea nut butter and now would not be without it. Her legs look like they have been air-brushed! The skin on her legs is so smooth and has just a little bit of a gleam now - very healthy looking. Oh, and also fabulous for feet! We tried putting a substantial layer of the nut butter on our feet and sleeping in cotton socks. We both did this for three nights and our feet were so soft! This is great after a long winter wearing closed shoes! Gets your feet ready for your summer sandals! I think that this company has an excellent product that is natural, pure and organic! I think you will be happy, too, if you try it!

From the many positive reviews here, I'm sure this is a good product for some people. But before you order, be aware that it has an extremely strong scent that others will find unpleasant, blending (in the case of the grapefruit-scented version in any case) very uneasily with the essential oil. It's also greasy--my skin barely absorbed it. I ended up showering after putting it on, because of both the smell and the feel, so it was not right for me.*Note: after leaving my initial review, I got a very considerate response from the company. Since they are clearly willing to work with you to find the right product, you might contact them before ordering if you're concerned about whether it will work for you.

I've been plagued with a on-again-off-again biting itch to my forearms for years. I've tried all kinds of lotions & potions, all with little to no improvement. A few months ago, I found that tea tree oil gives relief but it doesn't last very long. Then I found this shea butter formulation with tea tree oil so I thought I'd give it a go.I was totally unfamiliar with raw shea butter. When I first opened the jar, I thought to myself, "man, this stuff is too stiff to spread on my skin". But the butter softens quickly from body heat alone and is easy to spread once it softens up.This stuff works. The shea butter provides a long-lasting protective coating on my skin and the tea tree oil continues to work its magic on my itchy arms for much longer than tea tree oil alone (especially when I add a few drops of tea tree oil on the skin then rub in the tea tree oil infused shea butter - ahhhh!).I bought the grapefruit formulation also and it too is good stuff but I find myself using the tea tree oil formulation more because of its therapeutic property.The shea butter comes in a 16 oz plastic jar, which is a lot of shea butter. I bought this shea butter about a month ago. I use it almost daily and I haven't even used 1/8th of the jar. You get a lot of butter for the bucks, that's for sure.Hopefully this company will put out smaller "sampler" sizes so we can try all the different formulations. I'd like to try the rose, eucalyptus, and lemongrass scents but it's going to take me several months to go through the tea tree oil and grapefruit oils scents.Anyway, this stuff is great! I'm glad I bought it. Buy some and you'll be glad, too.
