Shea butter cream

This cream is so soft and feels great when rubbed on my hands. I love that it's in container with recycled materials and hope to order more when I run out of this.

Cute Pot!

The little clay pot this came in is very cute. However, the cream has a very strong, unpleasant -to me- odor. The cream itself is not very "creamy"; more waxy might be the best way to describe it.

Hi Lolay! We’re glad to hear that you like the ceramic jar but are sorry that you haven’t enjoyed the shea butter. It should have notes of tea tree and lemon. If you’re having a difficult time with the texture, one tip is to let the shea butter soften between your fingers or hands a bit before rubbing it in. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us via our Live Website Chat or by email - support@tenthousandvillages.com

Works on hands and heels!

I just moved to NM, and this is the only moisturizer up to the dry conditions here. Plus it comes in a biodegradable/reusable container! Plus it’s fair trade!

love this

I love these so much. I've been getting one a year for about 7 years now. They help me keep my hands from getting too dry and red from washing them 50 times a day in the winter. I love the smell and the little clay pots that they come in. It's a luxurious purchase that I think is worth it.

best hand cream I've ever used

I'm on my 4th pot of this stuff. I love it because it smells good, works longer and better than any other shea butter product or hand cream I've tried, comes in a little clay pot, and lasts a long time. The only improvement I might add is to branch out into different scents. I love this one, but would love a more powdery scent, too

Excellent product!

This is the best shea butter we've ever used. It takes just a tiny amount to soften skin and it doesn't leave a greasy feel. It is a good value as it lasts a long time. I highly recommend it.

Best I've Ever Had

This shea butter shocked me. I had no idea I'd be so excited by skin hydration. It smells fantastic, the hydration is intense without being greasy in the least, and the hydration effects are long-lasting, protecting my hands from a full day of dishes and winter weather. I'll be keeping this on my nightstand forever.

Wow! Wonderful product

Recently received this beautiful artisan pot and the Shea exceeded my expectations. My feet and hands have never been so soft. I will never be without this! It’s better than any lotion or body butter I’ve ever tried. I have very dry skin. Would make a wonderful gift!

High-quality, delightful skin care product

After having used most of the first tub I ordered, I am back to order more. When I first cut off the raffia string holding the lid down, lifted the lid, and smelled the shea butter, it delighted me. Light, fresh, and a little citrusy. When I rub it into my hands and cuticles, they too smell delightful, and soft. The butter is tangibly there for a little while - then absorbs into the skin, leaving simple comfort. No oiliness. You can tell that this is unlike pretty much anything else on regular store shelves I regularly see premium hand lotion for $15-$20 a container in stores. Compared to many simpler products, that is a lot of money. But the cheaper products often don't get the job done, or moisturize but also remain oily on the skin. Give that this is the best lotion I've ever used, I will simply order this again, knowing that those who produce good quality are being paid for their work, knowledge, and quality control, and therefore (hopefully) will keep this good product coming.

Incredibly fragrant and skin-softening

The shea butter has a lovely lemony fragrance and leaves my skin softer than any product I have ever used. I hope it's available for a long time to come because I plan to continue purchasing it regularly.

Excellent

This shea butter has completely changed the feeling of my hands and feet. So incredibly soft after using nightly for a week. Also use it under my eyes at night. I swear it’s helped my dark circles and has smoothed out crepeyness. Highly recommend.

Good Gift for friend

Bought this for a friend who indicated she liked the cream and the container can be used for other things once lotion is used.

wonderful anti-inflammatory cream

I have been using shea butter for several years now. I love it for areas of skin that are inflamed. But recently I discovered that it replaces Chapstick beautifully. I actually prefer the pure shea butter to the one that has extra oils added (but the extra oils do prevent spoiling from dipping one's fingers in the butter). Yet, shea butter itself has some anti-bacterial qualities too. As a doctor, I recommend this product to my patients for "Chapstick" and for rough, inflamed skin.

fantastic gift

This made an excellent gift for a friend. The price seems fair for the quantity of shea butter and the cute little pot it came in. I'm very pleased.

Fantastic cream!

The consistency and feel of this makes it one of the best I've used as the weather gets colder and drier. I use it just after the shower and it keeps my skin moisturized for hours.

Awesome

I bought this Shea Butter because, I like using natural products. I have used it for a week on the bottom of my feet before I go to bed. I have problems sleeping and I think, it has helped me to relax and sleep better. I will have to buy more:)

Works great!

I had a patch of very dry skin on my hand. I applied the Shea Butter for a few days and it healed it beautifully. I love this product. It's a little expensive but I think it's completely worth it!

Feels Good

I was inspired to buy the Shea Butter after watching the video about how it was made. I am so glad I bought it! I love the little pot it comes in, and I love the way it make my skin feel.

My skin stays so moisturized.

I don't have an amazing story but I love the way my skin feels after using this cream. And I like that it doesn't wash off easily but soaks into my skin.

Burn treatment

My young son accidentally burned his hand the other night. You can imagine the tears! A friend had told me several months ago that shea butter was useful for treating burns as well as many other things, which is what prompted me to buy it in the first place to have on hand just in case. I was anxious to help my poor son feel better as quickly as possible. The thickness of the lotion helped me to cover the burned area completely and quickly. Within maybe 10 minutes, he stopped complaining that it was burning and hurting. The burned skin turned white within maybe an hour, and he never complained that it hurt again. I'll go right to shea butter the next time we have a skin emergency! After having used it just once, I feel it was well worth the investment.

Healing cream - beautiful container!

This shea butter cream really does heal. I bought it as much for the beautiful clay container complete with hand made glass bead. My hands are very sensitive to fragrances in most hand creams, but they love this shea butter cream. I keep three freshwater fish aquariums so my hands are in and out of water quite a bit. Hand sanitizers were making my skin raw and this hand cream healed them right away (look up benefits of shea butter -you will be amazed). I keep my cream with its handsome container proudly displayed with my African art objects. It fits right in! Seeing the beautiful recycled glass beads (from Ghana) at Ten Thousand Villages really peaked my interest in African made beads. I now have several African made Krobo beads (powder glass and recycled glass) and African Trade Bead necklaces.
