If you're reading the reviews to see if other people's are grainy like yours - I have an easy fix. Mine was gross, like fluffy sand and chunks that were very hard to rub in. I scooped it all out into a bowl, microwaved it until all liquefied, poured it back into the container and placed it in the freezer until solid. Now it's like a creamy, smooth, buttery dream. Try this before you give up on it. It turns it into a completely different product.
My oil came perfectly packaged and is very easy to use. It's not to hard at this time, but we also keep our apartment at 70 degrees at all times. A little goes a long way. Feels really nice on my dry facial skin! I plan to make a homemade moisturizer with this using essential oils! Worth the price and shipping was speedy.
I've been using Now Organic Shea Butter for several years now and even strangers ask what I use on my skin!
I apply it every night and immediately after showering in the morning. I also use it in my homemade skin lotions and sugar scrubs. I love that it is completely odorless.
Two of my cats pester me continually to share some with them, so as part of my bedtime ritual I let each one lick a small dab off my fingers (I checked with both the manufacturer and my vet before doing this and was given the OK by both). Both cats have developed thick, shiny coats and the one with sensitive skin has stopped scratching and pulling his fur since getting some on a regular basis.
Occasionally I have received a jar that has a bit of a gritty consistency, but generally warming it up in my palms turns it back to smooth creaminess. If not, heating it a bit in a double boiler fixes it.
I would (and do) recommend this product.
I absolutely love this product. It is organic and has no other chemicals or ingredients in it. I use this mixed with coconut oil and essential oils. My favorite mix is coconut oil, shea butter, orange essential oil, a drop or two of tea tree oil, and vanilla bean (the actual bean) all mixed together and this makes an excellent non comedonic (clogging) lotion for my dry skin.
If you received this, put it on your hands and tried to get it in your hair and on your skin and it left a thick, sticky white residue, consider this before returning: rub it between your hands super hard and fast, with lots of friction. You gotta warm it up-- it's BUTTER, after all.
After it's warmed up, you should be good to go. Took me a second to figure this out, afterwards it's been glorious for me! I have 4A/4B hair (4A towards the front of my head, 4B on the back), very fine hair, but thick density, and high porosity. Very good for high porosity hair-- seals in the moisture from my leave in conditioner. Might be a bit heavy and weight down fine hair with thin density, or curls less than 4A. Good for coarse hair or thick density, good for LOC or LCO method.

Description
NOW Foods Shea Butter, 7-Ounce (Pack of 2)
This is a great all natural product for dry skin in a very hot/dry climate . I have foot problems so I use it a lot on my feet at bedtime . It helps just about anywhere that your skin is dry and irritated .
It is just like the Shea butter you purchase from Whole Foods. It came sealed & the texture is the same. It is great for making homemade lotion!
This is my second jar. This was recommended to me by a friend. I have been using it for 1 year. In the winter, I put it on my feet, hands and lips before bedtime. Since I have very oily, acne prone skin, i don't put it on my face. I've tried using it on my hair, but it is too thick for my afro textured hair. The smallest amount weighs my hair down. But otherwise, I love it.
I love this product. It's a little gritty at first, but it dissolve into a lightly oily moisturizer easily.
Works beautifully on my daughters curly, dry hair. She also has dry skin and this provides the right oil combo to help with that problem. Her hair and skin glow !
