My skin tends to get quite dry, so I've been applying a lot of it, especially to the areas that tend to get even drier. The texture is unique because it's a "butter" formula, which melts on the skin due to body temperature, helping to maintain moisture.
Cons
The butter-like texture may be unfamiliar, so opinions on it may be divided.

Since it's 100% shea butter, it was great to use it everywhere. The moisturizing effect was also good.
Cons
The thick, waxy texture was a bit disappointing, but as it's a natural butter, it was something I could accept.
Tip
In the winter when it's extremely dry, it's good to apply it after your skincare routine. If you cup your hands and press it gently before applying, the spreadability improves a bit.

Wow, my heels and elbows have all healed up with this. It's amazing!
Cons
No, it's too rich, so I have to use it with a plastic wrap. I always use it with the cream.
Tip
Apply the cream and the product at a 1:1 ratio on the heels, cover with plastic wrap, and sleep. My baby-soft feet are back. This is my third repurchase. It's not recommended to use it on its own.

The fragrance might be divisive, and it feels a bit sticky.

The organic shea butter was great for long-lasting moisture and worked well on my dry, eczema-prone areas.
Cons
In the winter, the product's texture becomes powdery and crumbly, making it inconvenient to apply.

I've purchased a lot of supplements from Now Foods through overseas direct purchases. They have great value for money. Mixing the oil with shea butter gives a nice moisturizing effect.
Cons
It might be a bit heavy for oily skin types, so it could potentially cause breakouts.

This is a magical solution - just slather it on thickly when your lips are cracked and chapped, and it'll instantly soothe them. It works wonders not just on the face, but also on cracked heels. Just apply it and wear sleep socks, and your feet will be silky smooth in no time.
Cons
I don't actually apply it directly to my skin, as I'm worried it might clog my pores. But even so, the amount is really generous and there are no downsides at all. Of course, this is my own money that I'm spending.
Tip
Especially in these dry times, it's great to dab a bit under the eyes and on the cheeks. But to avoid clogging pores, I first warm it up by rubbing it between my palms, then gently press the warm product onto my face. That's a handy tip.

The name itself already suggests how moisturizing it is. It seems to be one of the rare products that lives up to its expectations. The price is affordable, and the quantity is generous, so I've been using it on my face, neck, hands, and even heels all over.
Cons
The moment I opened the lid, I thought I had a scrub, not a cream. What's the size of these granules? I knew about it from the Hwahae Trial Reviewers, but I didn't realize it would be this intense - it's on par with the Black Sugar Mask from The Face Shop. It's a bit challenging to melt it with just your hands, and when there were still some granules left, I tried applying it, and it felt like a really harsh scrub. It really reminded me of the Black Sugar Mask from The Face Shop. I'm a stay-at-home mom taking care of my 5-year-old daughter, and after showering with her, I tried to apply it to her calves, but there were still too many granules left. Even though it's a great value, I think it's better to just slather on a rich, creamy moisturizer for the sake of my mental health. I wouldn't recommend this to other stay-at-home moms like me... unless you can use it when the baby is asleep. But even then, they tend to wake up at the worst times. It's really a great product, but there's one single flaw that overshadows all its other wonderful qualities. I'm having a hard time deciding whether to recommend it or not. I'm guessing Hwahae users are more likely to be childless, so I'll tentatively give it a 3-star review.
Tip
Whether it's a body cream, moisturizer, or any other oil, mixing and matching different products and applying them anywhere works like a charm, especially on the heels. I've been wearing silicone heel socks, and even my 30-year-old heels have become so soft and supple! I didn't realize the importance of heel care until recently, and this product seems great, but the major downside is too significant, so I can't actively recommend it.

The fragrance was pleasant, with floral and herbal notes, which I enjoyed. I've been using it as a lip balm and hand cream, and it works well. Even after melting it in a double boiler to make it more spreadable, the hand cream is still a bit too thick in texture to apply directly. So I put it on the back of my hand and let it melt a bit before spreading it around. Luckily, it still absorbs well, even though I have poor circulation in my hands and feet. The product doesn't spread very easily, but the moisturizing effects last a long time, which is great for my frequently-washed hands these days. If the usage experience changes as the weather gets colder, I'll be sure to provide an additional review.
Cons
Since I purchased it in cold weather, the granules are quite large and don't melt well, even with double boiling. The melting process is a bit of a hassle. ㅡ Melting Method ㅡ 1. Scoop a small amount into a heat-resistant container and melt it in the microwave in a few batches, watching carefully until the entire contents become transparent and liquid. (Some posts mentioned that shea butter can form hard crystals if overheated, so caution is advised.) 2. After letting it cool for about an hour at room temperature on a cool day, it solidified into an opaque, soft lip balm-like texture, ready to use.
Tip
One thing to note is that the original container is made of PET plastic. Some people have mentioned putting the entire container on a candle warmer to melt it, but that is not recommended, as heating PET can release harmful endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Always melt the product in a heat-safe container. Heating the entire product can also cause it to oxidize more quickly and degrade the nutrients and beneficial properties.

My child's skin was too dry, so I bought this. When applied, the oily texture helps relieve the dryness.
Cons
It's almost a solid, hard form, so it's not very convenient for my child to apply.
Tip
I have to scoop it out and melt it in my hands before applying.
