"Good Quality"
COMMENTS: This shea butter is the only one I use for my products since I started my small business. It's smooth, melts well and makes all my products so moisturizingj!
COMMENTS: This was my first time making Body Butter and I decided to order the Natural Shea Butter. In opening the bag for the first time, I noticed a slightly sour smell, which was different from the nutty smell I know natural shea butter to have. I proceeded and made a batch using WSP Mango Papaya FO and it turned out beautifully! It whipped up nicely, I was able to pipe it into my jars easily, and the sour odor was gone! I made another batch a week later and the odor of the Natural Shea Butter from the bag appeared to have gotten worse. I proceeded and used another FO and hoped that the odor in this batch would disappear as it did for my first batch. No such luck! While the Natural Shea Butter in the finished product does not smell as bad as it does directly from its bag, the odor is still slightly present. I even went back and checked the first batch I made and it still smells wonderful! I really want to use the Natural Shea Butter in my Body Butter recipes, but feeling a bit down now regarding the unpleasant odor versus the natural nutty scent I was expecting.

"The real deal!"
COMMENTS: This shea butter is the real deal. It's been a while since I bought shea, and I was hesitant about buying the unprocessed because of some comments about the smell. But I wanted the unsaponifiables and great skin feel of the natural shea.
This is exactly what you want in natural shea butter! It has a subtle smoky scent and a slight yellow color. Applied it straight to my hands and they still feel amazing, even after washing them a few times. Can't wait to soap with it.
Winter is coming. Stock up now, folks!
COMMENTS: I really like this shea butter. Works great in all of my products. I just wish it was in a tub instead of a bag. That would make it so much easier to work with.
COMMENTS: I’ve used unrefined shea butter before but never one that stinks this bad. Smells like fomething rotten.

"Strooooong Odor"
COMMENTS: The product whips up nicely. However, it has a very strong odor. Natural Shea butter does have an aroma, but this smells like a chemical. Our bold fragrance blends were able to mask it, not successful with the lighter fragrance blends.

"Great Shea butter "
COMMENTS: The Shea butter serves its purpose, but the smell seems unusually bad. The smell is extremely low in cold press soaps, but body butters the smell is high. It smells like baby boo boo.
COMMENTS: Feels amazing on skin. I make soap with and without Shea Butter and you notice the difference between them. Works great in Shave Bar. I also notice a big difference in my Lip Balms and Lotion Bars with using Shea Butter. All of the products made with this leave your skin feeling silky and luxurious.
COMMENTS: I love shea butter and use it all the time in my soaps. this is the first time using this particular brand and it doesn't seem like the others I've used. It's a great price, but I don't think I'll purchase again. When I opened the bag I expected to smell a nutty scent, but it smells like pickles!

"Excellent quality! "
COMMENTS: I love the quality and consistency of all butters that I've ordered from wsp! I love using a small amount of shea butter to my body butters. The nourishing benefits of shea and the dry feel of the mango and sal, in my opinion, make the perfect body butter!

"Very nice texture and smell "
COMMENTS: I really enjoy working with this shea, it has a nice texture and scent. I like to add 5% to my cp soap recipes and occasionally use it straight on my skin.
COMMENTS: This has, it's a good butter with a quality soft skin feel if used neat, but the SCENT is very...distinct. I don't like it all personally. I don't think that it's rancid, but it is a natural product and the smell is like burned sour peanut. Im still smelling it an hour later so while the product is very nice I recommend a refined or deodorized version if you have other scents in your product you don't want messed with. 2 oz. is a decent test size with a very reasonable price, the package being about the size of a flatter capri-sun though not 'full' just enough to experiment with.
COMMENTS: The Shea Butter helps make our hot process soaps moisturizing for the skin.

"Pefect Soap, Perfect Body Butter"
COMMENTS: I am new to soap making and my first recipe was a CP shea butter soap, I had no problems at all with this product and my soap turned out beautiful.
COMMENTS: As with all of the products we receive, this product comes packaged well for shipping so that there is no package breakage and the full product is in tact. This is definitely natural shea butter as is evidenced by the unique smell when opening. It is very thick and true to its natural form. This makes it difficult to separate but is much better to handle using gloves. The product works very well in our lip balms and salves.

"Best Shea Butter! "
COMMENTS: Love this shea butter! I've tried shea from all over, and this is my favorite! Great price point.
COMMENTS: Made my first lotion bars and everyone loves them!!! I added coconut oil and beeswax. I had to do less coconut oil because it was too greasy. The shea butter overpowered the scent, but I'll try it again and see if it turns out better.

COMMENTS: I use this in a lot of my soaps and lotions works fantastic???? will use again 10 stars????
COMMENTS: When I received package it was like a bigger bock of shae butter had been sliced or broken down, a better quality than what I was getting. It was easier to get out of bag. The other looked like it was softened then poured into large bag inserted into large reclosable bag. The Crafters Choice just looked cleaner. They both did same thing but, seemed Crafters Choice was easier to work with.
COMMENTS: This butter is perfect. It always arrives fresh and not melted.
