Last week I told you about Nubian Heritage Hand Cream I’ve been loving lately, and today I thought I’d bring up one of their best-selling products – jars of pure organic Shea Butter infused with natural oils and oil blends. They come in many different scents, and I got to try two of them: Lemongrass & Tea Tree and Indian Hemp & Haitian Vetiver.
I have to say, I’m a big fan of products that contain shea butter – hand creams, facial moisturizers, soaps, body lotions – and whenever I see it listed high on the ingredient list, it makes me much more likely to buy. These Shea Butter jars are comprised of raw shea butter that was infused with a blend of essential oils to give them skin caring properties for different skin types and concerns.
For example, Lemongrass & Tea Tree features a blend of orange oil, lemongrass oil and tea tree oil that help moisturize and rebalance combination, oily, and problem skin. It’s also a very fresh, uplifting fragrance that helps me feel more awake in the morning, especially when it’s so cold and dark outside most of the day.
Indian Hemp & Haitian Vetiver contains a blend of hemp seed oil, neem oil, vetiver oil, and Vitamin E to deeply hydrate, soothe, and moisturize the skin. It’s recommended for dry and sensitive skin type, and also for treating extra dry spots like feet, elbows, and knees. It has a pleasant creamy-sweet, slightly herbal fragrance that feels very relaxing, and because of that, I think it’s a nice product to use at night.
Each jar contains shea butter in its raw form, which means it will probably be solid when you open it. The butter melts at body temperature, so all it takes is a little rubbing between your palms or fingers to make it perfectly emollient.
Do you need this? Sure, because why not! After all, these shea butters are perfect multi-purpose products to have at home because they have so many different uses. Shea butter can tame frizz and flyaways, act as a styling product to slick hair into an updo or a neat-looking bun or ponytail, moisturize hair and help with itchy scalp, nourish nails and cuticles, calm irritations on face and body, and of course soften and condition the skin from head to toes whenever you need it.
