Review (5/5): Works on Bites, Burns, Cuts and Stings Really Quick
I live in a very hot, dry area of Southern California. We are constantly in the sun because there's actually no way to avoid it. We have been using the Shea Butter for about 2 weeks now. We have used it for insect bites (specifically spiders and mosquitos), mild sunburn, burns from chemicals and of course as a daily moisturizer. The smell is a little stinky, so what we do when we use it as a daily moisturizer is soften it and mix it in with our store bought cocoa butter and shea butter lotion. The store bought lotion really does smell like cocoa so mixing it with the raw shea butter eliminates the shea odor. It actually allows the cocoa butter smell to overpower it. I feel and smell like a nice, soft milk chocolate bar after showering. A friend of mine had to crawl under a house full of mold, mildew, spiders, etc. Although he was fully covered in protective clothing and a gas mask, his arms were swollen, stinging and very painful when he came out. I gave him a chunk of the shea butter to rub all over this arms and hands and he felt instant relief from the stinging and pain. There are many uses for this shea butter and I'm sure most people will discover a use no one else had even thought of yet. Don't be afraid to put it on any part of your skin that needs some relief from pain, no matter what the sourse was. It truly is like real butter, so use it plentifully and use a clean towel to remove any excess after most of it has absorbed into your skin. This is a big chunk of shea butter, but I think it will come in so handy it won't be long before I need to order more. The price, shipping, packaging, etc can't be beat either. I definately give it a 5 star rating.
