Smells like smoke

Just bought a jar today since it was cheaper than the Now Solutions brand. Upon opening I noticed it smells like wood smoke or almost like tobacco smoke, not clean smelling like the other brand. I don’t know if I’ll be able to use this…

I needed pure Shea butter for my daughter's eczema, which is sensitive to additives in all the "mainstream" products (even those marketed for eczema and sensitive skin). Alaffia is the first pure product I've been able to find and it is a game changer. No stinging, and it provides thick, long-lasting coverage to get driest areas. Since it's natural I can even put it on extra sensitive places like her eyelids. Other than it being a little hard to spread (warming between fingers for a couple seconds makes it easy) and having a "funny smell" (6 year old's only review), it is the perfect product and I'm so grateful to have found it!

I've been using this brand for over a decade. It doesn't get flakey like the others. I mainly use it as a lip balm. I'm glad Target carries it online now.

This product works great for me. At first you think it is too dry, but the warmth from your hands softens it and allows for a nice application. I have Type 2 diabetes, so foot care is very important to me. This product applies beautifully and stays all day. Not too greasy, just great moisturization.

I love this pure shea butter! It’s creamier than others and keeps my skin nourished and protected. I put it on the bottoms of my feet, my shins, elbows and surgical scars every day after a bath to keep these areas soft and moisturized.
Has an unpleasant odor

We purchased the Unscented Shea and it does have an unpleasant odor. I understand the process but should not smell like deceased humans (as someone mention in another review) or feces. Our 1 year Granddaughter deals with extreme dry itchy skin. We were hoping this would work.

The smell was way too strong for me. I usually can tolerate different smells but this was not for me. I can still smell it even when I mix it with other lotions.
I love it but…

I’ve bought this many times, and when it comes without the temperature having fluctuated, you’re golden. But if it has melted and hardened again, it becomes rock hard and unusable and really grainy. I did the submerging in the water and, the same problem occurred. Once you have it melted completely, it doesn’t go back to its same normal thick and creamy consistency. Please fix your shipping Alaffia so that these issues don’t arise. I can’t buy this knowing that it’s only a 50/50 if it’ll melt by the time it gets to me!
Good product, but too hard to apply

I like this product for its natural ingredients. However, I wish that they could come up with a consistency that's conducive to application. It's entirely too difficult to scrape the product out and rub it on.

I am not happy with this purchase. The Shea butter is extremely hard, so much so that I can't get it out of the jar. It is very frustrating and I probably won't use it because of this reason.
Great product!

This is the best moisturizer for my aging skin! I've been using it for more than a year and love it. I've given it as a gift to several friends and they've started using the unrefined shea and the whipped shea with coconut oil.
10/10 Highly recommend

I found Alaffia while watching videos about African villages and their income. I have been a loyal customer from the second I applied the butter to my skin. Amazing quality, great price! I buy extra products so I can give them as gifts. I'm so happy my purchases are directly helping to support the people who harvest and prepare the products. Alaffia, you've got a customer for life!
