My skin type is dry. I apply a moisturizing cream and in the last step of my skincare routine, I scoop a small amount onto the back of my hand, melt it, and use it. Oil is an absolute must in the winter! It has incredible moisturizing power. I did not experience any breakouts while using it. I dispense a small amount into a smaller container and melt it on the back of my hand before applying, and it melts easily with just a few rubs.
ConsSince it's a natural product, it doesn't have a distinct fragrance, just an oil-like smell. I have to take it out of the fridge every time I use it, which is inconvenient from a hygiene standpoint, and it's also harder to melt. So I've been using a small container and a spatula to dispense it. It was recommended for use on hair, but when I tried it, it made my hair look greasy, so I don't recommend that.
TipPlease store this product in the refrigerator and use a small container and a spatula to dispense it.

The ingredients are gentle, making it suitable for use by people of all ages and genders. It is well-known for its baby care products. The large quantity lasts a long time, and the jar-type packaging allows you to scoop out and use as much as you need. When used alone, the occlusive ingredients can leave a film-like feeling, and it may not be fully removed with just water cleansing. However, when mixed with a small amount of cream, the powerful moisturizing properties make it great for dry skin.
ConsThe solid, balm-like texture makes it difficult to spread. In colder seasons, it becomes even harder and more challenging to apply. The body temperature does not soften it enough for easy application. The large quantity lasts a long time, but since it is a preservative-free product, there are concerns about spoilage. The jar-type packaging increases air exposure, so it would be better if it was available in various sizes. It seems to be hit-or-miss, as even though they are all Now Foods shea butter, some jars have clumped-up granules that further reduce the spreadability.

In the winter, I can't do without these products. It seems that applying them, even though they are a bit greasy, helps to melt the hardened skin and provides moisture.
ConsSince there is no spatula, I have to scoop it out with my hands, which is a bit unsanitary. In the summer, it's a bit too greasy to apply, and after putting it on, it can rub off onto my clothes or other areas that come into contact, which can be a bit troublesome.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI first learned about this product when my friend recommended it to me after my second child was diagnosed with atopic dermatitis around 6-7 months old. My baby's face, especially the cheeks, was quite severe, and there were small coin-shaped eczema patches scattered around their body, but it was not too severe. By mixing this product with another baby cream and massaging it in 4-5 times a day, my baby's skin completely cleared up and became incredibly soft when we went to the doctor's 2 weeks later. The doctor was amazed. I also sometimes use it as a sleeping pack, applying it a bit more heavily, and the next morning my skin feels so soft. I even use it as a lip balm, and it works great on any dry areas. It's a versatile, cost-effective product that I always keep stocked at home.
Cons🔴 It may seem a bit unsanitary if you don't use a spatula. 🔴 There is the inconvenience of having to melt it before use. 🔴 The large size makes it less portable. 🔴 Just as skin on the body and face are different, while you can apply it generously on the body, you need to be very careful with the amount used on the face. Using it daily on the face may not be advisable. (At first, not knowing any better, I applied it as liberally on my baby's face as I did on their body, 4-5 times a day, and by the 2-3rd day, their body was fine but their face had become more red and bumpy with the atopic dermatitis. So now I only apply a tiny amount to the face 2-3 times a week, and it provides good moisture without issues.) 🔴 For very dry areas, this product alone may not have enough lasting moisturizing power. The moisturizing effect is good, but doesn't last too long, so in my case, I like to first apply a generous layer of this product, then once that's absorbed, add a drop or two of the brand's jojoba oil on my lips, which makes my lips much smoother and easier to apply lip makeup on.
TipIt's convenient to scoop out a small amount into a tin case and carry it around. For those who don't like the heavy, oily feeling, you can just dab on a tiny amount, almost like an ointment, only on the very dry areas.

Cons✔ Insufficient for extremely dry skin - I bought it because my heels and elbows were very dry, but it didn't provide an extremely moisturizing effect for me ✔ Needs a spatula - Since it's solid at room temperature, it's a bit painful to scoop out with just fingers - The quantity is large, so if you're hygiene-conscious, it's better to have a spatula to use it, but one is not included
Tip🍎 Mix it with body lotion or hand cream and apply for an extra boost of moisture

It's a bit difficult to manage the hygiene. I use it a lot as a body product and also on my face, but it's inconvenient because dust gets on it.
ConsIt's not in a tube form, it's a product that you dispense, and I find the hygiene issue a bit of a problem.. because when I scoop it out with my hands, dust always gets mixed in.
TipUsing a spoon to scoop it out is always the cleanest way, but it's tiring and tedious to do that every time you apply it. However, it's the best for body use, especially in the winter!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is the last cream for a child with severe atopic dermatitis. After trying various skincare products that are said to be good for atopic skin, I've been using this one consistently ever since a friend in the US recommended it to me. After showering, if I apply it generously all over my body like a massage, my skin doesn't feel dry the next day, and I don't have to scratch at all during the night. Lately, I've been using this instead of the eye cream I couldn't use due to milia, and it works wonderfully.
Cons1. It's a bit inconvenient to use: - In the summer, it melts into more of a gel-like texture. In the winter, it freezes and becomes very hard. It's difficult to apply and takes time to absorb. 2. Don't apply it all over your face if you have oily skin: - I applied it all over my face when my skin was dehydrated, and I woke up with pimples on my cheeks the next morning. I now only apply the leftover product on my face's outer areas and neck after applying it to my child. 3. It can spoil: - The product comes in a large quantity, and I use it by scooping it out with my hands without a separate spatula. This likely introduces bacteria. At home, one jar lasts me about 2 weeks, but the one I left at my parents' place went bad and had an odd smell.
TipThere's an organic version of the same product, and that one seems even better.

Use it on your lips, face, body, and more. It's in a balm form, so you can scoop it out with a spatula or clean fingers. It helps hydrate areas with flakiness. It's also great as a facial occlusive and doesn't cause any breakouts. The price is affordable, and you can use it worry-free about the ingredients. Purchase it from iHerb.
ConsThere's nothing disappointing. The only concern is that since it's in a jar, dust may get in, but being a balm, a jar form is unavoidable.
TipScoop out an appropriate amount and melt it before using.

Shortly after giving birth to my son, he developed atopic dermatitis, and due to a weakened immune system, his legs became itchy to the point of bleeding from scratching. His skin was cracked like a snake's. I bought shea butter and after applying it for a few days, the itchiness went away and his skin returned to normal. Since then, I've been using it on my son, and it's been working great for him too - I've been applying it to his face and body up until now, when he's 24 months old!
ConsIt's a solid, so you have to melt it in your hands. It applies relatively well in the hot summer. In the winter, it gets even harder, so you have to scoop it out with your fingernail or a spoon, rub it in your hands to melt it, and then apply it. But it's great nonetheless.

ConsInconvenient to use Having to scoop it out with a spatula is a hassle Too sticky
TipIt's really great to apply as the final step when your skin is very dry
