Great product unless you have an ultra sensitive sense of smell
This is a good quality product that I bought to try to prevent stretch marks during pregnancy.  I can definitely tell that the butter is good quality since it does leave my skin luxuriously soft and absorbs fairly nicely. (Much better than coconut oil, which always made me feel greasy).  One downside is that it's difficult to apply since it's pretty hard (even though I apply it after a warm shower in a steamy hot room) but that's the trade off when getting an unrefined product.  I also noticed a great improvement in a common skin condition called keratosis pilaris when using this butter, and that's difficult to treat, even with prescription remedies!<br /><br />However, currently, I had to discontinue using it because my pregnant self can't tolerate the &#34;all natural&#34; scent of this butter. It's too earthy and slightly medicinal-smelling. It probably wouldn't be a huge issue for non pregnant people but since pregnancy makes the sense of smell especially acute, I found myself avoiding this product despite loving all the other benefits because I just couldn't stand smelling it.  During the worst of my morning sickness, the smell of this butter would set off nausea and vomiting so I simply couldn't use it.<br /><br />I would still recommend it for general use though since I will admit to being extremely sensitive to smells during pregnancy, and that shouldn't be as big of a problem for others. I'm considering mixing it with some almond essential oil or something to see if that helps my issue and I can go back to enjoying the benefits of this product.
