Great butter

This was my first time using unrefined shea butter. It's very smooth (not grainy), so worked well with whipped hair butter I tried for personal use. The nutty smell is a bit strong to be masked. But I don't mind it since ei used it for a hair mask butter along with neem oil (which is another strong smelling ingredient) that stays on my hair for only a couple of hours before wash. The results were great and can't wait to use more often.

Purchased to make Christmas gifts and myself

Made homemade coconut oil & Shea body butter, which soaks in beautifully and smells yummy. I'm 55 and find my skin is becoming really dry, but this really hydrates it and doesn't leave it greasy and all.

Love all my products from Pure Nature 🥰
