Natural Farms 1lb 100% Raw Bulk Organic African Shea Butter from Ghana by North Oak

Good Quality

Lovely ivory color, no visible impurities. Good medium-solid consistency at room temp, but squeezable, and massages into skin in a minute or so. Left my hands feeling great; and my cuticles, which are currently a mess, less crispy. ;) Packaged in plastic bag inside sealed foil. Distinct scent - not unpleasant - when foil first opened, but that dissipated a lot after it got into the air. (Still in plastic bag.) Good odor, too. Nice and nutty, no rancid taint. Expiration date a year from now. After trying on my hands, can only catch a hint of fragrance from that, which I find pleasant. After massaging a minute or so, I left it while typing this. Felt a little bit buttery, but by now it's sunken in all the way, leaving no residue, just softness. I'm definitely going to keep some of it in original form for use as a butter. I'm a type 2 diabetic, and also have a heart condition, with permanent circulatory damage to one lower leg from a fall. As is, this will be really great caring for the skin on my feet and leg.

Arrived in a nice minimalist package as pictured. Has an good expiration date which is something I wasn't expecting considering this is the first time I've ever order shea butter. Definitely firm but soft and moist enough to easily work with. I plan on making body butter with it one I get the French Lavender Oil I order hopefully tomorrow. I'll give an update on how it workout once I've made my first batch. So far very pleased with the natural scent and color.

I've tried several shea butter brands, and while some early reviews of this brand were negative, my 2025 purchase (which I'm still using and in perfect condition) has been great. I love the texture, nearly undetectable scent, and how it feels on my skin. It's super emollient, meaning it helps skin retain moisture, but I also drink plenty of water daily! FYI shea butter is thick and is used in quality moisturizers, often diluted with cheaper ingredients. If you're willing to let this one ingredient wonder warm up on your skin, it might be the last lip, hand, foot, elbow or wherever balm you ever buy. It's packaged in bulk in a plastic bag inside an airtight foil pouch. While usable directly from the pouch, I find it easier to transfer it to a jar.

Good product. I used it for soap making and very happy with this product.

The product is good, overall. I would improve the packaging a bit, as it came in a small box with plastic wrap. The plastic wrap is messy. You can’t get the product out without touching it and it’s a bit of an icky mess. A container would be more suitable. Product does sufficiently well and good price.
