LOccitane Shea Butter Hand Cream, 30 ml or 150 ml Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm a caregiver, and the frequent hand washing along with alcohol-based sanitizers made my skin rough and painfully cracked, sometimes until bleeding. But this cream when applied after each washing helped make my hands soft again.
Pros of the L'Occitane cream:
1. Moisturizes super effectively.
2. Absorbs well without lots of greasiness.
3. Fragrance is pleasant and not too strong.
Cons:
1. Price.
2. Lack of UV protection.
The only other hand cream that worked about as well for me was Ahava (also very expensive).
I've also tried Neutrogena Norwegian formula, Vaseline Intensive Care, Jergens, Curel, Lubriderm, Eucerin, Aveeno and other common brands.
If you can't get the L'Occitane, then the closest inexpensive alternatives I have found so far include:
Eucerin Calming Cream, which is very rich and non-greasy (it comes fragrance free and is in a nice, large tube), and
Neutrogena Norwegian Formula, which feels a bit greasier but is available in fragrance free version, or
Norwegian Formula FAST ABSORBING Hand Cream.
Another alternative is to get some pure shea butter or Aquaphor, smooth a bit on the spots that need special treatment (especially around the nails to prevent hangnails or on cracked knuckles) and then follow up with your current favorite moisturizer.

Shea Moisture Shea Butter Leave in Conditioner 8oz Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I actually bought mine from a beauty supply store in my neighborhood, but it works great. It defines my natural 4a, coffee-stirrer sized curls, moisturizes, and stays for the whole day. It was recommended by the ladies at the forum in Naturallycurly.com. I used it with Fantasia IC gel and Long aid curl activator. Next day, all I do is reapply a little bit, and spray my homemade (jojoba oil, glycerin, and water) mixture all over my hair with a spray bottle.
Just make sure your hair likes Shea Butter, because for some people it doesn't work.

100% Organic West African Shea Butter 16 oz Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been using Shea Butter for several years now and works wonders on my dry aging skin. Over the years I have found that whipping it makes it creamy and easier to use than in its natural form right out of the container. When you get your butter, empty the contents of the plastic container into your stand mixer (use paddle attachment) and mix at low speed at first to keep it from flying everywhere. Then increase the speed a little at the time. The butter will gradually heat up from the agitation and will become smooth. At this point you may add a couple of drops of essential oils to make it smell good or you can add a little jojoba oil which will double your moisturizing power. Please note that if you choose to heat Shea butter, do it gradually and at very low heat (I use a double broiler when I need to heat it) because it has a very low heat tolerance, if overheated you will end up with a gritty consistency that is not correctable. Note: if you do not have a stand mixer, you can use a hand mixer, but it takes a while to get it soft and creamy, so consider having a buddy to do relays on holding the hand mixer. Enjoy - hope this tip helps.
