Wonderful Shea Butter

Butter is firm, not whipped. I use my fingernail to get out small amounts at a time. It works on dry or damp skin. Softens and smooths. Goes on with a demi-matte finish (not overly shiny/oily-looking). Smells slightly like spiced honey (warm cloves?) once applied. It's too oily on my hair, but fantastic for every other delicious inch of me! :-)

Just the Best!!

I am loving the lavender Haitian Black Castor Oil in Lavender Hibiscus.

My hair is in locs for the past 5 years. The way you get the hint of Lavender when I pass someone is AWESOME. I remember when I was a child and my mother would oil my hair with l'huile I hated the smell. But I had the healthiest hair, long, full and beautiful. My locs are mid back and I noticed a change in that they are looking so much hydrated and full and growing like weeds. I also purchased the Haitian Shea Butter, Love IT!!!!!! I will recommend to everyone.

Haitian shea butter

I love it because it works well for my feet. I never had beautifull toes before the haitian she butter, but it is to tick to take and rub it on your skin... Thats the only disapointing part but since I am haitian I know the trick so I use it without problem. Its natural and works well.

Great product!!

It's an amazing product! Even though the shipment was a 1-2 days delayed, they were still communicative and had the tracking to let me know. I also wish the size were a little bit bigger.
