THE BEST
I love everything about this company and shea butter. I have sensitive skin, and it's all I use on my face and body. I buy it in bulk, which makes it very economical and affordable as prices keep going up. And even though I live in Florida, it stays fresh for a long time. My family and I use it at home, and also make shea blends for other family members and friends. Everyone loves it and keeps asking for more. I love that each purchase, no matter the size of the package, comes with a hand-written note and handmade gift from the women who work for the company. Investing in them is truly win-win.

Butter from heaven!
I ordered this a few weeks ago & it is the best Shea butter I’ve ever used. Shea butter is already one of my must have items in my toiletries. It is antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial, anti inflammatory, moisturizing, gentle enough to add anywhere on the body! Seriously, anywhere, I even got some in my eye yesterday, completely by accident, however, it did not hurt one bit. And do not worry if you have sensitive or acne prone skin. This will only help, it will not clog your pores even if it feels heavy putting it on. It will absorb & be amazing, especially effective when you put it on right before bed. I always use it after bathing, when my skin will absorb the most, just rub it all over. It even reduces sweating, including underarms. I live in a hot, humid climate. The fact that it reduces sweating, and of course being anti bacterial helps with smell, is amazing to me.Did I mention, I love this shea butter! Has a mild nutty smell, as shea butter should. It is easy to apply. Don’t let some small clumps of butter deter you, it spreads just fine. I also use it on my dogs. Their noses, paws, even when their coats seems a little dry. This product really takes away the need for so many other products that don’t work as well anyway.And that’s why I bought the big one. I know it will last quite a while & I know it will stay viable for a long time. And last but not least, it also feels good to know the people who make the African shea butter are directly benefitting from my purchase.If you still aren’t sure, just take a leap of faith and do it, I cannot think of anyone that I would not recommend this to.

This stuff is Magic
I highly recommend if you have dry skin. I have dry, sensitive, eczema-prone skin basically year-round and this has been a real lifesaver. My mother had purchased a pound of it and had given me some to try. After using it a couple of days in a row the effects were noticeable — my skin was soft and supple, and some of my dry patches and eczema were clearing up. So I went to order my own pound of it and there was only 11lb bulk left so my mom and I split it (I vacuum sealed smaller portions bc it comes in a single 11lb block and then store that in my pantry that doesn't see any sunlight) and I've been making my own whipped shea butter and I use it on my face and body after every shower. Works especially well if I exfoliate in the shower and then use it afterward. After a couple months of use, I have my dry skin under control and I've even been gifting my whipped butter to friends and family. Not only is it cost-effective to buy in bulk and ethically produced (though the carbon footprint to ship it from africa is aweful), but it also allows me to better control what ingredients go on my skin (no more fragrances, preservatives, chemicals etc.). Note: if you do not like the feeling of heavy moisturizers, you will not like the feeling of raw shea butter on the skin as it is thick and waxy feeling. However, if you can get over that it is well worth it!

Great product, great price, great service!
I love shea butter, and I love everything FairTale Ghana does in regards to fair trade, putting people to work who wouldnt otherwise be able to, education for young folks, everything!That being said, let's talk about this butter! It's unrefined, meaning a slight nutty scent. I bought this big bag because we have replaced our usual lotion routine with whipped shea butter and we'll go through in a year or so between 2 adults.The packaging was beautiful--sealed butter so no leaks, wrapped, tied, hand-written note--I love these touches! Especially when buying on a platform like Amazon. It'a a reminder of the small company that is actually producing the product.When I weighed my bag (~2000 ft elevation), it was just over 12 lb, so more than I expected! It's also a wonderful price compared to the 2lb bag from FairTale Ghana. Because it's packed and sold so quickly, I know I will be the one to benefit from the shelf life of the butter.The product itself is lovely--the smell and color is right for unrefined. The nuttiness fades as it soaks into skin. It's all organic and natural, so it gets an A+ on that aspect.Also, the owner is on social media. When I messaged her about some questions on shea butter, she was very quick to respond!At the end of the day, I love everything about the product and company and will be buying again!

Body butter
Worth every penny. Have to make my own body butter due to allergies to most store bought products

Absolutely the best she’s butter from an expert
Our company has been formulating with shea butter for years, and this is the absolute highest quality, fresh, raw butter. In addition to quality, the company employees women to produce the butter and pays fair wages- it just doesn’t get any better. And one more thing- the price can’t be beat!!
