Massage - African Shea oil is the ultimate in skin nourishment has the best "slide" and consistency for massage therapy. What makes our Shea Oil different? Only high quality, unrefined Shea Oil can offer the healing benefits mentioned above. Once Shea Oil is aged or loses its natural integrity through high heat refinement, many of these wonderful benefits are lost. Although moisturizing, Shea Oil that has been over processed, bleached and deodorized, is ineffective in healing most skin conditions. That is why we use only cold pressed, unrefined Shea Oil.

I like the fact that even though it's an oil --- it's not an oily oil. Meaning it absorbed quickly and didn't leave an oil residue. I originally purchased it for my hair but liked it so much I started using it on my skin as well. I will continue to purchase this product.

I've been using the shea butter oil on my hair and skin for almost a week now and let me just say, I am in love with it! My skin has never felt so soft and for once I don't have to keep applying something to it throughout the day. After my shower in the morning I apply the shea butter oil over my body and I'm good for the rest of the day. I also use it on my hair and let me tell you it is a miracle. I'm African American and have extremely coarse hair. The shea butter oil has softened it up and given it a healthier appearance. I can't keep my hands out of my hair. I apply it to my scalp and hair, wrap it at night and then in the morning when I unwrap my hair, it looks like I came out of the salon. This is one of the best purchases and I will definitely be ordering more!
