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
❤❤100% pure shea butter! Vegan butter!❤❤ 1) Gentle vegan butter for dry skin, and no animal testing×× 2) Can be mixed with other body creams or oils to create a multi-purpose body balm or lip balm~ 3) The texture is quite firm, but when the butter melts with body heat, it provides a wonderful cooling sensation~ 4) Great value for the amount - I purchased it through Coupang direct! 5) Apply a generous amount of shea butter on chapped lips before bed, like a lip mask, and wake up with smooth, hydrated lips! 6) The scent is not overpowering, just a mild, slightly nutty aroma - almost unscented. 7) Non-sticky texture that feels great to apply - cooling at first, but dries down to a soft, non-greasy finish, which I really appreciate as someone who dislikes tackiness.
Cons
There's almost nothing negative about it~ If I had to nitpick, the texture is a bit firm, so you need to warm it up with the heat of your hands before applying.
Tip
Mixing this with your favorite creams and oils is great for locking in moisture and preventing dryness!

Pros
This product is excellent for areas with flaky skin or dry, itchy skin. I bought it for my baby to use in the winter, and even though it's quite thick and there's a lot of it, the remaining product I used myself absorbs fairly quickly, though not super fast. After a little while, it sinks right into the dry areas. I've been using this and then following up with a Now Foods oil product.
Cons
The texture is a bit clumped up, so you have to scoop it out and melt it in your palms before applying. This can be a bit of a hassle.
Tip
In the winter, you can keep it on the floor and use it, as the heating won't make it too thick and sticky to apply.

Pros
The capacity is incredibly massive considering the price. 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.
Cons
Since 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.
Tip
Please store this product in the refrigerator and use a small container and a spatula to dispense it.

Pros
You can purchase items at a lower price by direct importing through iHerb, as iHerb frequently runs various promotional events that provide additional discounts. 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.
Cons
The 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.

Pros
Animal capacity, 100% shea butter, can be applied generously to the body! As a winter preparation, I keep it on hand for emergencies, and it's much more fragrant than unrefined, and the process of melting the product from a solid to an oil while applying it to the body is pleasant^^ It absorbs incredibly quickly, is not at all oily, and leaves a fluffy finish!
Cons
I'm not sure. The price is good and the volume is large. The only downside I can think of is that the packaging is not very attractive.
Tip
I carry a small container with me and use it as a lip balm as well. I don't melt it in my hand, but instead scoop out some and apply it directly to the area, gently massaging it in. (If I melt it in my hand, it will all get absorbed there.)

Pros
The moisturizing effect is really good and it seems perfect for those with dry skin. It's affordable and the volume is generous, which is great.
Cons
People with oily skin may not like it much as it's quite buttery and feels a bit sticky and not easily absorbed.
Tip
Mixing it with a more lightweight, hydrating lotion or toner could help reduce the stickiness and improve absorption.

Pros
The price seems good... The capacity is also larger compared to others.
Cons
Since I have combination skin, my face feels tight after cleansing... And as I go about my daily life, it becomes oily... I apply it as the last step of my nighttime skincare routine, but it's too oily... It melts into an oil-like texture due to my skin temperature, so the application is smooth, but it's just too greasy... When I wake up in the morning, my bangs are practically glued down... It might be good for extremely dry skin though.

Pros
It's an incredibly moisturizing product, but it doesn't feel sticky at all. The volume is generous and the price is reasonable. Just a half-finger's worth, melted with the warmth of your hands, is enough to cover your entire face. It seems like it will last a very long time. It's been about 2 weeks since I started using it, and I haven't had any skin troubles. I apply a generous amount before bed and it covers my neck as well. It is quite oily, but it doesn't feel unpleasant, and my husband is also satisfied using it.
Cons
It has a thick, buttery texture, so it's not easy to apply directly to the face. There is a process of melting it with body heat before application, which can be a bit of a hassle. If I apply too much in the morning before going out, my face will be shiny for a long time.
Tip
Not much else, but if I apply a generous amount before bed, my skin seems to be in good condition in the morning. And since the amount is generous, it's also good to apply on my arms and legs.

Pros
Applying it in the evening and sleeping will leave your skin moisturized until morning. It's great that you can apply it to your hands, lips, elbows, and heels. What I particularly liked was the large volume and affordable price - the best value for money.
Cons
As others have mentioned, the spreadability is really not good. It doesn't blend in well either, so when you apply it on your face, it rolls around like a scrub, making sensitive skin even more sensitive. Furthermore, I tend to get a lot of milia on my forehead, and after using this for 3 days, I had a terrible breakout of milia on my forehead. For those with oily or combination skin, it's probably better to just apply it to the cheekbones and apples of the cheeks.
Tip
It's best to scoop out a small amount and warm it up in the palm of your hand by rubbing your hands together. Then, gently press it into your skin with your warm hands so it can be absorbed.
