Miibox 100% Raw Unrefined Organic Shea Butter-African Grade A Ivory 1 Pound (16oz)

This came to me the exact day estimated. The box was fine, in perfect shape, and the two zip-lock bags containing the shea butter were fine. Upon opening the bag with the shea butter, I noticed how well the product smoothed at the temperature of my hands, even with it only being like, 68 degrees F outside (where I decided to open it; didn't want a mess just in case). As soon as I applied the amount it takes to cover my fingertips to all of my face, I noticed how it bonded and soaked into my skin as if having been massaged in when it had not been. That was 9 hours ago and no wearing off has taken place.I found a glass jar I have that holds 18 ounces, and after weighing my shea butter, confirming it is a full 16 ounce amount, I started melting and chipping away at the product to get it all perfectly packed into my glass. With the ziplock bag, I cut it in half and laid it out flat and ran an old card all the way down it to get every bit of the melted/stuck butter off, so none went to waste. A side note- this shea butter smells like raw vanilla bean. Just thought that should be noted since many people say they don't like the scent an it seems like a chemical.. however, that pungent odor is just like soft vanilla beans. I would recommend storing your own butter into a glass jar if you have one, since the outside of the bags it comes in will always have some greasy feel to them. Just run the edge of a card along the sealing part of the bag to get eeeevery small bit off.Since I'm using this for all of its benefits, (general external hydration, curly hair health, skin, circulation, evening out skin tone and getting rid of scars, lips, nails, wind and sun protection, bug bites, skin irritations, hair growth and collagen help) I will not be doing anything special to it. I might..? end up loading photos of how my mild skin issues progress since I already took a photo today of what my skin looks like without anything on it.Cons: Not pretty presentation and you need to dissect the bag to get as much product out as possible (with an old card)Smells more like vanilla beans, very pungent odor, but not bad, per se.Pros: Smells like vanilla beansImmediate creamy texture that melts to a butter upon handlingStays on strong for 9+ hoursArrived on time for me!Has around 14 individual uses. Stores for 2 years.Becomes a solid at cooler temperatures and melty at warm/hot temperatures.

I really don't like writing negative reviews, so I feel really bad writing this one.I planned to make a DIY body lotion. I bought this Raw Sea Butter, Organic Vanilla Flavoring and organic jojoba oil.Sadly, he shea butter I received was rancid! It had a very strong odor, which wasn't pleasant at all. I'd describe it as sharp vinegary smell.I've tried to reduce the smell by mixing it with a cup or coconut oil, eucalyptus oil and the rest of ingredients I bought on amazon.Unfortunately, the vinegar smell was still present.I had to throw everything away.I'm giving it 2 stars, because my friend bought this shea few weeks ago, and the her product smelled warm and nutty. I don't know why my shea was that bad.I'm only sad, because I've waisted a lot of expensive ingredients, just to try to kill the ugly rotten smell of this shea butter.

The shea is fine but it’s 1.2 Oz shy of a pound. May not seem like much but if I pairs for 16 Oz ... that’s what I’m expecting. Not sure if i will be purchasing from this seller again.

I'm straight from Ghana and trust me THIS is the real deal! It's obviously not going to smell like roses, but it sure gets the job done! Pure and unrefined ;)

I ordered this once previously from another seller, and was extremely pleased with what I received- exactly what was described, pure shea butter packaged nicely in a plastic tub. It lasted me a long time even though I used it daily, and was very satisfied with the product.However, when I finally ran out and reordered, the second batch I received was very different from the first! What arrived was less than a pound, and was wrapped in TISSUE paper, rather than in a tub or even a plastic bag. If the day had been a little bit warmer the shea butter would have melted and run all over the place! I was not pleased at all with this packaging, not only because it might have melted, but also because the fragile paper wrap left the butter open to outside contaminants.Aside from the packaging and the weight, shea butter itself was a different color and slightly different texture. However I've been using it for over a week and the quality seems just as good, so at the very least I'm pleased with that and will continue to use it. I'm going to be very careful about whom I order my next batch from!

I have ordered this shea butter twice so far- once last year, and again this year. There are definite variations in the quality and the packaging. Last year's product was deep yellow in color, had a strong earthy smell and came in a disposable plastic take-out tub. It worked beautifully in my body butter recipe, and was a good price. This year's product was off-white in color, nearly odorless and came in a plastic bag. At first I was concerned because it seemed too light to be a full pound, but I weighed it and it was actually one ounce heavier. It worked beautifully in my recipe and I will not hesitate to order again.As far as I can tell, I have received exactly what the description offers: 1 lb of pure unrefined shea butter. I gave 4 stars rather than 5 for the wide variation in quality, but overall I am very pleased and feel comfortable recommending this product.

This was my first time ordering raw shea butter. The product i received was nicely sealed, ivory color. The smell was nutty, nothing overwhelming.seems very nice.

It's a good product but the bag it came in has absolutely no markings! There is no,product ID, no expiration date, nothing! Except on my order form I have no idea where this came from!

Great bang for your buck. Smells weird though. Not sure if this is true of all shea butters or just this one. Worked well in my skincare products. Delivered on time.

I love this shea butter. It's so nice and soft. I mixed it with some oil and essential oil to use it after a bath. I will definitely buy it again.

Very good
