Yellow Brick Road 100% Raw Unrefined Shea Butter-African Grade a Ivory 1 Pound (16oz)…

I thought the packaging looked a little shady, but it turns out that it worked perfectly for my DIY deodorant project and the packaging didn’t need to be anything special for my purposes.I’ve never seen shea butter before by itself so I wasn’t sure what to expect. But, I found it to be very creamy and hard, in a chunky crumbly rough cut brick. It melted nicely and the deodorant I created was smooth and satisfying on the skin. Have had no skin reactions whatsoever and that is rare for my husband! He says the deodorant seems effective and keeps him from smelling or sweating.I will make plenty more skincare products with this shea butter. It seems like a great value and should last quite a while for my purposes (I only used a few tablespoons worth, but I would buy it again if I need more in the future.

There's different options and I'm reviewing the, "Yellow Brick Road 100% Raw Unrefined Shea Butter-African Grade A Ivory" version with a photo.Large amount for the price. Came in a plastic bag inside a zip lock foil bag but I transferred it into a glass jar.Firm but as soon as you move your fingers along it melts like velvet lotion, so in my eyes it's the perfect consistency. Not filled with water or any fillers.It doesn't leave an oily residue at all, which most lotion and moisturizers do. It feels like your body naturally moisturized itself!I have dryness and cracks around my toes which is the main reason I got it and so far it is working great.EVERYTHING WE PUT ON OUR SKIN GOES INTO OUR SYSTEM, so don't buy anything you can put in your mouth. I won't eat this but knowing there's no chemicals, fragrance, or anything harmful is good to know.I suggest this version over the others offered and suggest this company over any other company.Some companies mail it to you in a plastic tub which people are getting cracked open, but this one comes in a bag so it won't crack open, and you can easily put it in a glass jar like I did.

It’s really smooth and smells alright but it’s worth the price, came bigger than expected

This shea butter is high-quality, pure, and deeply moisturizing. It has a rich, creamy texture and works wonders for dry skin, hair, and DIY skincare recipes. The natural scent is strong but fades quickly. I used it for handmade lotions and they were awesome for the season

I am used to Shea having a smell. This one is very subtle. Used it to make some natural lotions. Melted great with other natural oils and has held up well after being whipped.Because I haven’t used it alone, I can’t really talk to it’s efficacy, but the lotions I made were Shea and coconut, or Shea and tallow based and both are very hydrating and keep the skin conditioned for the whole day

Very nice, creamy smooth, light nutty smell. I use this on my face and neck after shaving. I keep 1/2 by 1 inch chunks in the frig. (stays hard), and then rub on my skin, as it warms up I use my fingers to work it all over my face and neck. I store the one pound block in the freezer, and use a butter knife to chip off the chunks that are stored in the frig.. My last one pound block was maybe 5 years old, it lost a little of the nutty smell, but still smelled good. I have read it will have an off odor if it goes bad.I tried coconut oil and olive oil for the same purpose, but they irritated my skin sometimes, this shea butter has never irritated my skin, and my skin is fairly sensitive.

This is my second time buying this. Bought one in November 2024 that lasted me all the way until now, April 2025. A little goes a long ways. Definitely good quality raw shea butter. Moisturizing and my skin reacts well to it, signifying that there is no funny business going on. I love it and will buy again in a few months.

OMG I ordered the 2 lb pack, I got almost 3.5lbs. It mixes well my lotions just need small amount. heat it up and pour it in and shake. I use it straight out of the bag on my lips and legs. Whats left on my hands I rub through my hair and makes it shine and ever so soft but strong. Because it's not refined the smell is somewhat earthy. But not too bad.
