You'd have to check the label. I ordered the regular shea nerium cream. It's REALLY greasy....messed up my sheets when I used it on my feet. YIKES!

I'm not sure how you can tell. It came in a clear jar - it's unscented and is raw shea butter (thick and waxy in appearance) just as pictured. It's not pleasant smelling. I apply to hands, feet, elbows, knees and it works well. I read where you can mix it with essence oils...I haven't tried that yet.

Not at all! this product can be mixed! I did with organic shea butter and warm it up until both substances melt. I warm up every time I used and it works amazingly!!

It is PURE Shea butter. No adds or fillers. Works great on my very sensitive skin.

yes. although their new packaging does not reflect it. i remember vetting the company prior to purchasing. many of the companies in Africa that sell whole shea butter are owned by women and the companies keep true to the original custom of making the product.

Hi Charles, Great question. Thank you for asking. As you have read, African Skin Solutions only sells American Shea Butter Institute (ASBI) Certified Premium Grade A Unrefined Shea Butter, which has passed high measures for safety, performance and shelf life and is sourced exclusively from the purest top 5% of all unrefined Shea Butter that reaches the U.S. This ensures the longest shelf life possible which is typically 12-18 months from the time of production in Africa. You may check the condition statement on our product listings to determine the Grade A expiration date of our current batch at any given time:

Yes, the company says it is. I was very impressed with the quality and after mixing it with the 100% shay butter it made up a great hand,face and body rub. Especially the feet. Hope this helps. Carroll

I don't know the method, but I did read that refined shea butter ultimately has little to no health value. Get unrefined if possible. I wish I knew that before buying this.

Indeed. You should see results via e-mail (assuming you've listed your email address on the information slip when you send your sample in). As mentioned below, the USPS turn stupid when you give them a cylindrical container with "liquid" or "oil" anywhere on it. My samples sent to another company arrive in 3-4 days when I box them but would take more like 1-2 weeks if I just mailed the bare cylinder and I even had one that took something on the order of 4 months to show up. No need for tracking or anything expensive, just put it in a box and address it to "OAL" at whatever address you're sending it to instead of the full name and you're unlikely to have an issue.

Hi TroyThank you for contacting us and asking such a valid question. While the Shea is totally organic there is no paperwork to prove it because it is so hard in Ghana to obtain such documents.It is illegal to do anything with the Karite Tree which is where the butter comes from including putting chemicals, fertilizers or pesticides on it. Even if the chemicals were available, of which they in most cases are not, these harvestors could not afford them or there would not be any financial benefit of doing this since no one individual owns the trees.I hope this answers you question please feel free to contact us again if you have any further queries.

You can purchase shea butter that is REFINED meaning "chemicals added to product", and that will rid the shea butter of that scent. The shea butter has that scent because no chemicals have been added to it. It is pure, raw, organic, and unrefined. It is definitely better for your skin then refined shea butter is. If you rub pure, raw, shea butter on your skin, that burnt scent you smell will go away within a matter of minutes. Once the raw, unrefined, shea butter absorbs into your skin, you will no longer smell that scent.

Hey Carmen, I bought some a couple weeks ago. This Shea butter is nothing like store bought Shea. My Shea butter was very soft, smooth and minimal debris. I will say best Shea butter I've had so far.

I would answer no to this. When it arrives, it's the consistency of Shea Butter in it's naturally prepped form for retail use. In my opinion, it is pure and I appreciate that factor. I always blend and whip with natural oils to my liking anyway. I hope my opinion is helpful to you Khrystal.

The color if the Shea butter is exactly what it says, ivory literally!!! The smell is of natural raw pure shea butter, it is organic. Also it's USDA approved, the best ever I have put me hands on.
