My skin type is dry. I apply this after my moisturizer as the final step in my skincare routine, melting a small amount on the back of my hand before use. As expected, oil is essential in winter!! It's a hydration powerhouse. I haven't experienced any blemishes while using it. Since I transfer it to a smaller container, I find it melts quickly after rubbing it a few times on the back of my hand without any inconvenience.
ConsBeing a natural product, it doesn't have a distinct fragrance, just a plain oil scent. To avoid hygiene issues and the hassle of melting it each time, I've transferred some to a smaller container using a spatula instead of taking it out of the fridge for every use. Although it's said to be suitable for hair, I don't recommend it as it made my hair look greasy when I tried. It's better to stick with a regular hair essence.
TipStore this product in the refrigerator and use a spatula to transfer a small amount to a separate container for use.

The gentle ingredients make it suitable for all ages and skin types. It's famous as a parenting essential. The beast-sized container lasts forever, and being in a jar, you can scoop out as much as you want. When used alone, it creates a protective barrier due to its occlusive properties. It doesn't wash off with just water, so I mix a small amount with my cream. The powerful hydration is fantastic for dry skin.
ConsIts solid, balm-like texture makes it a bit stiff to apply. It gets even harder in cold weather, making application more challenging. It doesn't spread easily even with body heat. While the large size lasts a long time, I'm concerned about it going bad since it's preservative-free. Being in a jar means more air exposure, so I wish it came in various sizes. It seems hit or miss - even with the same Now Foods Shea Butter, some jars have clumps like in the photo, making application even more difficult.

Though it's a bit oily and needs to be warmed up before application, it seems to really help with hydration.
ConsThe lack of a spatula means I have to use my fingers, which isn't ideal for hygiene. In summer, it can feel a bit too rich, and it tends to transfer onto clothes or anything that touches your skin, which can be inconvenient.

My baby had severe symptoms on the face, especially on both cheeks, and mild coin-shaped eczema patches scattered on the body. I mixed this product with another brand's baby cream and applied it like a massage 4-5 times a day. Amazingly, when we went back to the doctor two weeks after the atopy diagnosis, even the doctor was surprised to see that the body had completely cleared up and became super soft. I sometimes use it as a sleeping pack, applying it slightly heavily, and wake up with soft skin in the morning. I also use it as a lip balm and on any dry areas. It's a versatile, cost-effective product that I always keep stocked at home.
Cons- It might be slightly unhygienic if you don't use a spatula. - The inconvenience of having to melt it before use. - The large size makes it less portable. - While you can apply it generously on the body, you need to be careful with the amount when using it on the face, and daily use might not be suitable. (When I initially applied it generously 4-5 times a day on my baby's face like I did on the body, after 2-3 days the face became redder and bumpier, as if the atopy was worsening. Now I apply a tiny amount on the face only 2-3 times a week, which works well for hydration.) - For extremely dry areas, this product alone might not be enough for long-lasting moisture. While it's quite hydrating, the effects don't seem to last very long. When I use it as a lip balm, I first apply a slightly thick layer of this product, and once it's absorbed, I add a drop or two of jojoba oil from the same company. This makes my lips much smoother and softer, making lip makeup application easier. - As the product itself is quite heavy, I recommend those with oily or sensitive skin to do a patch test first.
TipIt's convenient to carry around if you transfer some into a small tin case. For those who dislike heavy or oily textures, you could try applying a very small amount, like an ointment, only on extremely dry areas.

Cons✓ Insufficient for extremely dry skin - Purchased for dry heels and elbows, but didn't provide the intense moisture I was hoping for ✓ Auxiliary spatula needed - Solid at room temperature, can be painful to scoop out with fingers - Given the large quantity, those concerned about hygiene might prefer using a spatula, but one isn't included
TipMix with body emulsion or hand cream to boost hydration

It's a bit challenging to maintain hygiene. I use it a lot as a body product and on my face too, but it's troublesome when dust gets into it.
ConsThe fact that it's not in a tube and you have to scoop it out is a bit of a hygiene issue for me... Because every time I use my hands, dust always seems to get in.
TipUsing a spoon each time would keep it clean, but it's tiring to repeatedly open and close it every time you want to apply. However, it's fantastic as a body product in winter!

After trying various products recommended for eczema, I stumbled upon this one through a friend in the US, and we've been using it ever since. When applied generously all over the body after a shower, like a massage, it keeps the skin moisturized until the next day. My child sleeps well without scratching at all. Recently, I've been using it as an eye cream substitute due to my milia issues, and it works wonderfully!
Cons1. It can be a bit inconvenient to use: - In summer, it melts and feels somewhat gel-like. In winter, it freezes and becomes rock-hard, making it difficult to apply and absorb. 2. Not recommended for oily skin types to use all over the face: - When I applied it all over my combination dehydrated skin before bed, I woke up with blemishes on my cheeks. I now only apply it to my child and use the leftover on my hands for the outer parts of my face and neck. 3. It can spoil: - The jar is quite large, and since we use our hands to apply it without a separate scoop, bacteria can grow. At home, we usually use up a jar in about 2 weeks, so it wasn't noticeable. However, the one I left at my parents' house went bad and had a strange odor.
TipThere's an organic version of this product, which I think might be even better.

Use it as a multi-purpose balm for lips, face, and body. It comes in a solid balm form, so apply it with a spatula or clean hands. It helps soothe areas with dead skin cells and creates a protective barrier on the face. No blemishes to worry about! The price is affordable, and you can use it without concerns about the ingredients. I highly recommend purchasing it from iHerb.
ConsThere's nothing I disliked about this product. The only minor concern is that being in a jar, it might collect dust each time you open it. But that's unavoidable with a balm formulation in a jar packaging.
TipTake out a suitable amount and warm it between your fingers before applying.

Shortly after giving birth, my son developed what seemed like atopic dermatitis or weakened immunity, scratching his legs until they bled. His skin was cracked like a snake's. I bought shea butter and after applying it for a few days, the itching disappeared and his skin returned to normal. Since then, I've used it on my son too, and it suits him well. Even now at 24 months, we use it on his face and body!
ConsBeing solid, you need to melt it in your hands. It applies relatively well in hot summer. In winter, it's harder, so you need to scoop it with your nails or a spoon and rub it in your hands to melt it before use. But it's great, absolutely fantastic!

Wonder when I'll finish it all! Feels like the heaviest and most moisturizing oil I've used so far.
ConsInconvenient to use. It's a hassle to scoop out with a spatula. Feels way too sticky.
TipReally good when applied as the final step when your skin is super dry.
