Nubian HeritageShea Butter Lotion, Raw, 4 Ounce

Smell soft lasts

I'm a nurse and my hands are ALWAYS dry and taking a beating. I use shea butter products all the time. This is a generous portion of a very good shea butter product. Yes, this is hard if the temp is cooler, and softer when the temp around the container is higher. Melts quickly with skin temp, luxurious, thick & rich. Products that have a lot of shea butter in them usually are, so reviewers who cut it down because of this fact obviously must not get how shea butter typically is when not emulsified in a cream. This is a highly scented product too.Why only 4 stars? Well, like I said, this smells DIVINE. The people at my work love it because of the smell and the soft skin it leaves behind when you use it. Smells like something you'd buy at bath and body works which is how good it smells. BUT.. I think it has too much scent. I like to go for wonderful creams for my dry, cracked achy hands, and if it has more scent, or too much scent, it bothers my hands. This has a little too strong of a scent for me. It smells GREAT, but I didn't want it for the smell, I wanted it for the therapy. Too much scent = 4 stars. It is almost overwhelming it is that highly scented.SO... take it for what it is. It is a good buy, and smells very good and great on hands. Just the scent is too strong for me and my patients. I can't put it on and then go into a patient's room, it is too strong. I wait until after I wash my hands, then apply it when I have a few minutes before I need to see a patient so the smell can dissipates. Some patients have an aversion to strong scents, or it hurts their breathing if they are compromised. Most of my patients like it, but I don't want to take the chance of assaulting one of my patients sense of smell when they are not feeling well. So I'm always careful not to apply this then walk into a room.

NH Honey & Black Seed is an incredibly effective moisturizer for all skin types including eczema, hives caused by allergens, acne, simply dry skin...etc. I use it for every minor irritation and have had zero eczema issues since starting my new skin care practices. No more proactiv. Now it is simple: 1.clean face using natural soap(castille and black soap) 2.Twice a week calcium bentonite mud mask 3. Homemade toner (witch hazel with some camphor, peppermint, eucalyptus, lavender, and tea tree oils) 4. NH Black seed and Honey or NH Vetiver and Hemp oil for serious blemish reduction.I highly recommend trying their soaps, lotions and salves. All have beneficial qualities and a little research goes a long way to find what is best for you. All their products are natural and some have very earthy smells that may be overpowering to some noses but that's what I love about them. The Honey and Black Seed smells like honey and is quite enticing.I make all my own salves, skin care items, lotions, and herbal remedies but NH got the ratios perfect and for my own medicine cabinet, I actually prefer their shea salves mixed with my own raw shea and oils because they have perfected the scent and I cannot obtain the quantities of raw ingredients necessary to produce a similar product that smells as wonderful as theirs. NH Shea butters are natural and fair-trade products. They actually get their raw shea from a little village in Ghana where their profits go towards things like digging wells and giving goats to families...not arming militant groups or diamond mining.NH has an amazing product line and it all started from a couple students in New York City that desperately wanted to bring natural, old-world remedies to an over processed society. The simple benefit of going natural in skin care (the largest organ in your body) has overpowering detox effects on your body. I can taste the petrol-based additives in processed food now...even my daughter takes notice when Vegetable oil is in a baked treat as opposed to regular butter. Fair warning: Going natural with your skin care will lead to whole body wellness and you will decide for yourself to cut out the 'crap' from your diet because it starts tasting bad.

This moisturizer has a lot going for it: it's 98% natural, it doesn't irritate the skin or cause breakouts, and it's very rich! This has helped restore my facial volume, calm down irritation, and even my skintone. And it smells fabulous! Originally, I was going to return it because it smelled too strong, but it turns out I was using too much.Some advice on using it as a moisturizer:If you're oily-skinned like me, realize that this moisturizer will absorb very well, but your skin will still produce oil that kind of sits on the surface. Be sure to remove the oil your skin produces (I use blotting papers or tissues) so that it doesn't just sit there on your face and make a good environment for pimples.I like to put this moisturizer on while my face is still damp for the most absorption.You only need the smallest amount. I generally rub a pea-sized (or smaller) amount between my palms or keep it in a warm area so that it is easier to spread. If you don't let it melt, it will be grainy and you'll have to work it in your face. I like to work this in my face anyway to give myself a nice face massage.Wait 15-30 minutes prior to putting on makeup so you can remove any residue or extra moisturizer you may have put on if you were being too generous. If you don't have that kind of time in your morning regimen, this would be a fantastic night cream with something lighter during the day.It works VERY well under makeup. I haven't had any problems with it balling up under oil-free foundations (I use MUFE HD, L'oreal True Match, MAC Face & Body, and Clinique Mattifying powder). I don't use face primers (I only use eye makeup primer),so I don't know if that would change the results. Remember, the oil from your skin will still come through (this isn't mattifying), but not in crazy amounts. Make sure to blot WELL after applying your makeup and to set with a mattifying powder in your oily areas and things will stay under control for several hours.

Me llegó caducado, donde puedo hacer la reclamación para devolución del dinero

When I received it, it was quite grainy, old stock? Heated and melted down in double boiler. Shrank about a third. Quite nice after melting. Use daily with few drops of black sead oil. Goes a long way.

This product smells rancid & is out of date.Inside the product is a very white powdery substance which I was suspect of in case it was drugs.The expiry date is 5 Jan 2019.They say there is no option for the "return" of this product or refund. Very unfair & not ethical!!Why does Amazon allow this.?

Want to make your skin soft, healthy and feeling wonderful? This will definitely do it. It also makes an excellent external, rather deluxe, personal lubricant for men. Nuff said :)

This is a great product. That I used to buy when I was in New York. Arrived a little later than I thought it would but all's well that ends in good skincare.
