Pros
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.

The organic shea butter was great for long-lasting moisture and worked well on my dry, eczema-prone areas.

Pros
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.

Pros
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.

Pros
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.

Pros
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.

Pros
The moisturizing is excellent, the fragrance is great, it applies well, and when I put it on before bed, it's fantastic.
Cons
You have to scoop it out with your hands, which is a bit unpleasant. It would be nice if there was a spoon or something like that inside.

Pros
This is wonderful for my dehydrated skin. Applying a small amount whenever my skin feels dry helps reduce the tightness. I also use it as a lip balm, and I feel reassured using this organic product.
Cons
As those who have tried it know, it can be inconvenient to melt and apply. While they say rubbing it with the warmth of your palms helps it melt, that doesn't work well for someone like me with cold hands. I occasionally lightly melt it with a hair dryer before applying.

Pros
In the winter, it hardens like white butter and can be scooped with a spatula. Warm it in your hands and absorb it directly into the skin, maintaining a thick moisturizing barrier. There is no better product for the dry winter season or transitional periods. This is a versatile face and body product.
Cons
In the summer, it melts due to the temperature and becomes slippery, making the amount difficult to control. It can feel too rich to use alone in the summer.
Tip
Mixing it with aloe vera gel creates a well-balanced hydration that feels lighter and more refreshing to use.

Pros
My skin becomes silky smooth, and after applying body lotion, it stays moisturized and hydrated for a long time. It's less dry and stays soft for an extended period. I also mix it with hair serum and apply it to the ends of my hair. Using the right amount makes my hair soft and smooth. After using a curling iron, my hair becomes straight and really nice. Although it's a very thick and creamy formula, it doesn't contain anything other than shea butter, so I can use it with peace of mind.
Cons
The hassle of having to melt it, and when applied alone, it can feel sticky and greasy.
Tip
Applying it alone can be difficult, but when mixed with a base oil, it becomes more moisturizing and the thick, creamy texture is significantly reduced, improving the application. The photo shows a mixture of the base oil and shea butter, but the oil content is too low, making it too firm. I should have also added vitamin E oil, but I didn't have any, so I couldn't. It's a failed attempt, but the thick, creamy texture has been greatly reduced.
