It's one of those rare products that lives up to expectations. With its affordable price and generous amount, I'm using it everywhere - on my face, neck, hands, and even my heels!
ConsWhen I opened the lid, I thought I'd bought a scrub instead of a cream! The granules are huge - I'd heard about it in Hwahae reviews, but I didn't expect this level. It's like Skinfood's Black Sugar Mask! It's a bit challenging to melt completely with your hands, and when I applied it with some granules left, it felt like a harsh scrub. As a single mom with a 5-year-old, it's tough to use. After showering with my daughter and trying to apply it to both of us, there were too many granules left. I'd rather splurge on a regular moisturizer for my sanity. I can't recommend this to other busy moms - it's not practical unless your kids are asleep, and they always seem to wake up at the worst times! It has one major flaw that overshadows all its good points. Choosing whether to recommend it is tricky. Assuming most Hwahae users don't have kids, I'll give it a slight recommendation, but only 3 stars.
TipWhether it's a body cream, moisturizer, or oil, mixing this with anything else makes it great for use anywhere, especially on heels. If you apply it to your heels and wear silicone heel socks, even 30-something heels become super smooth! I never realized the importance of heel care until recently, and this seems good for that. However, there's a significant drawback that prevents me from strongly recommending it.

It's great as both a lip balm and hand cream. Even though it's recommended to melt it slightly for a smoother texture, I find it's still quite thick for a hand cream. So I put some on the back of my hand, let it melt a bit, then spread it. Luckily, it melts well despite my poor circulation. Although it doesn't absorb easily, the moisturizing effect lasts long, which is perfect for these times when we're washing our hands frequently. If the feel changes as the weather gets colder, I'll update my review.
ConsI bought it during cold weather, so the granules were too large and didn't melt well with body heat. I had to melt it, which was a bit of a hassle. Here's how I melted it: 1. Put a small amount in a heat-resistant container and microwave in short bursts, checking frequently. Remove when it's fully melted and transparent like a liquid. (Some say overheating shea butter can cause hard crystals to form, so be careful.) 2. I let it cool at room temperature for about an hour on a slightly cold day, and it solidified to an opaque, soft lip balm-like consistency, ready to use.
TipImportant note: the original container is made of PET plastic. Some people heat it directly in a candle warmer, but this is dangerous! PET releases harmful chemicals when heated. Always transfer to a heat-safe container before melting. Also, heating the entire product can lead to faster oxidation, nutrient degradation, and spoilage. For best preservation, store shea butter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

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.
ConsThe 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.
TipIn 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.

It is so moisturizing and soothing, it's the best.
ConsAt first, the granules made it a bit difficult to melt and apply, but I've gotten used to it now and it melts well when I roll it in my palms.
TipAs expected, it pairs amazingly well with jojoba oil.

It absorbs well into the skin without feeling sticky or greasy. 👍 No skin reactions When I first started using this, I was worried it might cause breakouts, but my skin has remained calm and unaffected. You just need to make sure to gently pat it into the skin. Applying it before makeup helps the makeup apply smoothly on dry areas. 👍 Generous amount The great moisturizing properties and the large product size mean this lasts a long time. I'm confident I'll be able to use this for a while.
Cons👎 Granules First-time users may be a bit surprised by the slightly grainy texture. The product has a somewhat pebbly, crystalline consistency that requires a bit of melting and massaging into the skin. However, it's not so severe that it's difficult to apply.
TipI like to use this as a lip balm replacement before bed. Applying a layer on the lips helps to smooth over any flaky, dry patches.

ConsIt has a lot of granules, leaving a scrubbing sensation, and also has a sticky feeling.
TipIf you lightly melt it with a hair dryer, it becomes easy to use.

As my skin is extremely dry, I've been using only cream-type products. But I still felt like it wasn't enough, so I started mixing shea butter into the cream, and now I'm enjoying a moisturized winter.
ConsThe downside is that the granules don't melt with just body heat alone.
TipI prepared a teaspoon and heated the bottom with a lighter to melt the granules, then mixed it into the cream. It may sound like a hassle, but it doesn't take much time to melt it with the lighter, and it absorbs into the skin right away. Applying it on top of the cream doesn't spread well, but when mixed into the cream, it applies smoothly. I slather it all over my body, haha. I highly recommend this! 2020.2.17 Review Once melted, it re-solidifies in the cold, but it melts easily with the warmth of my palms. The granules don't stick at all. It melts well even if I wash my hands in hot water and then melt it.

When I wake up the next day, it's fully absorbed and there's no stickiness, which I really like.
ConsThe texture... it comes with granules, so at first I thought I was just scrubbing it directly onto my face. You have to melt it in your hands and then apply it carefully.

It's a bit rich, haha Personally, I really like that natural fragrance, without adding anything haha *If the Laneige Shea Butter has good spreadability, good texture, an unobtrusive fragrance, slow absorption, and a slightly greasy feel, the Now Foods one doesn't feel greasy or have slow absorption - it's good haha
ConsThe downside is that you have to buy it directly to get it cheaper You need a spatula to use it hygienically It's a bit of a hassle to melt the granules by microwaving or rubbing them In the summer, the thick texture can be difficult to use
TipI sometimes use it as a cleansing balm to remove makeup I also mix it with body cream and use it as a lip balm If you apply it to your feet and wear socks, it's super moisturizing Except for summer, it has a ton of uses!

The scent is not bad at all!!! There is a lot of product, so it can be used generously on the body. It can be applied anywhere, even on dry areas like the heels, and works well.
ConsIt has a slightly grainy texture with some particles. While I didn't find it particularly inconvenient to melt and use, those unfamiliar with it may find it uncomfortable.
TipWhen applied to dry areas like the heels, it helps soothe the cracked skin within a few days, leaving it moisturized. I've also been using it as a hair essence after shampooing, and mixing it into hair packs and treatments.
