I use shea butter in many different things, and I would go broke trying to keep it in stock. I'm so grateful Voyageur offers affordable bulk shea butter. It's wonderful in DIY deodorants, CP soaps, body butters, etc. Note: all unrefined versions of shea butter have a distinct odor, so be aware of that when using it in unprocessed formulations. I've come to LOVE the smell of good unprocessed shea.
Love Love Love Voyageur but this Shea Butter has a very funky pungent smell. I have been buying Organic unrefined Shea Butter for a decade and it has never smelled this way.
I was assured this is supposed to smell this way so I tried it in scented body butter and you can cover the smell successfully, but I was not able to cover the smell in my all natural unscented body butter or my other all natural products so I cant use it
I've been using this product in body creams for 3 years. It's great!
Fantastic price, fantastic quality!
