There are very dark areas throughout the shea butter I received. It has a funky scent as well? Are these things normal??

That means the Shea butter you received is filthy and non filtered, unfortunately so many sellers who sell unacceptable quality product that we throw in the garbage and never dare to sell. you have the right to get the highest quality for you paid for.

It smells like vanilla and coconuts, and when I use it the scent is pretty strong so you should probably find a different product if you don't want to smell like that

As they are unrefined the fragrance is a natural nutty smell. Since buying this shea butter I prefer it to the Cocoa Butter, I have mixed my own blends with coconut oil and olive oil and whipped it up so its easier to use and you can always add fragrance a few drops of essential oil too

Mine didn't specify about where the scent came from when I received it but the scent is very unnoticeable so thinking it's probably from the wood.

Hi. I wouldn't say this is "normal" but I just received a bottle from them, and I've experienced the same thing. The oil is pressed from seeds, so I guess it just wasn't filtered properly. I'm going to run it through a coffee filter. That should take care of the problem.

It may have a slight odor and I don't notice it especially after massaged into the skin. I am very sensitive to odor so that would be my assessment.

I bought mine a loonng time ago - maybe a year or 2. It's still the same color. I, mainly, use mine in making soap. Although, I do put it directly on my skin right after a shower. Go ask in soap, bath & beauty forums. There is bound to be someone who can tell you what's happening to your shea.

The same thing happened to me and there is nothing that can be done it's in the mixture itself. I used it three times and I it-canned the tube. I was using the neutral color and the smell was atrocious. I settled for Oregon Wild-hair mustache wax that is the BEST. It is a neutral color also.

I would send it back and ask for a new one. It has a strong coconut smell, it should NOT smell like cheese!

In the past I have purchased more commercially produced shea butter in jars. That being said, this one is very soft - more so than usual, a deeper yellow gold color and yes, very smooth and easier to work with. It also hasn't 'grained' up on me while melting for my whipped body butter recipe. Hope this helps! :)

TRUE unrefined shea butter can greatly vary in color because the coloring is dependent on the nuts themselves, which DO vary. Some can even be a little greenish and greyish... most people do not realize products of shea butter are often altered with other oils (by the seller) to give it a more consistant coloring. If you want raw shea butter, it's going to be anything from yellowish to greyish to greenish to tannish.... if it's white, you might be dealing with chemically processed butter... there are no white nuts on the tree!.... but I am no expert haha.

Julie, I think the product smell is very light and not at all unpleasant. Could it be you got an out-of-date or defective product?

Lately mine has been clumpy. To me, it smells citrus and fruity. You should mix it with water. It's concentrated. You have to find what works for you... I suggest trying this for two weeks and if you don't like it or you don't like the change in your hair, try another product like Lush or the Honest Company.

I thoroughly agree! The new cream leaves a residue on my skin and has a different fragrance as well! Time to search for a new night cream!

It's supposed to be smooth and creamy, no lumps. Your container shoud not have a hole in it, I would send it back and ask for another one. The Shea Butter is very good maybe you received a bad batch.

Hi Alexandra, I use the Black soap with Shea Butter for face, body and my hair. I love the smell and you feel so clean after using the soap. I cannot remember what it smells like as it has been sometime since I had any of Dr. Woods Products. Like any soap used on the face avoid getting any in your eyes. As stated, I like the product with the Shea Butter...I did not have any issues after using, just fresh clean skin and hair. I also used it on my two year old grandson without any problems.

No, this one says its mixed with cocoa butter, I have the one mixed with shea butter which helps with moisturizing. And the shea butter mix is lighter in color, not "black" at all, but a mix of light and medium brown.
