My personal experience
As usual, I'd always test any products that I'd be selling and my experience with shea butter for the past 1 month has been fantabulous!
I came back to the UK on the 16th of August 2009 and realised that my skin immediately became dry and itchy due to the change of weather and hard water that I shower in. Sensitive skin I have, sigh...
I've tried many body lotion's, body butter's from well known brands that's for normal, dry, very dry skin, also medicated ones etc but nothing has worked as excellently as Shea Butter. It is just Amazing!
I've been using it on my face, body, hair and on my son. Yups we're both the guinea pigs.
My son had a nappy rash few weeks back and I just put shea butter and within 2 days, the redness reduced and rash subsided.
Also he started having face rash due to salivating from teething recently (it was on his chin, sideburns, lower part of the cheeks and around the mouth), I used Argan Oil and Shea Butter everyday and within a week, the rashes were 95% gone. He's still salivating cause of teething and I don't think that's gonna end any time soon, but I'm not worried! His face seems to be doing fine now and I only apply Argan Oil (when it's red) and Shea butter (at night, when he's asleep) occasionally.
Oh and before I forget there's a difference between REFINED and UNREFINED Shea Butter. Unrefined Shea Butter has all the good properties for your skin where as Refined has most probably lost most of its in the process.

100% Natural Unrefined Shea Butter
Hi everyone,
As promised, Asia Essentials has added a new product to it's line, 100% natural unrefined shea butter. A little history and information on it below:
History
1. Unrefined shea butter comes from the Shea-Karite tree in Africa and has been used for centuries to moisturize and protect the skin and hair. Extracted from the shea nut, the butter is produced by picking the shea nut fruits, drying, pounding and kneading them. Shea nut products are used in cooking, cosmetics and soaps. In addition, these nuts may be used as a substitute for cocoa butter in chocolate and other desserts.
Features
2. Unrefined shea butter contains large amounts of non-saponifiable fats. As a matter of fact, shea butter contains 7 to 12 percent of these moisturizing fats, while avocado oil only has 2 to 6 percent non-saponifiable fats. In addition, unrefined shea butter contains vitamins A, E and F, which help maintain the skin and keep it clear. Vitamin F also, found in unrefined shea butter, protects the skin from the elements. Unrefined shea butter also contains cinnamic acid, a natural sunscreen.
Benefits
3. Because of its high fat content, unrefined shea butter is the perfect moisturizer for extremely dry and cracked skin. Shea butter can be used for a variety of skin ailments, including psoriasis, eczema and sun-damaged skin. It also can help to relax muscles. In addition, it can be used in your hair and on the scalp.
Uses
4. There are many ways to use unrefined shea butter, including:
FACE - simply massage into your face as you would any other moisturizer. Unrefined shea butter may be used daily or whenever needed. A small amount will go a long way.
BODY - with the help of body heat, unrefined shea butter will absorb into the skin quickly. Apply it to your hands as often as possible to prevent cracked knuckles and dry skin.
FEET - add one tsp. of unrefined shea butter to warm water and soak your feet. After drying your feet, rub unrefined shea butter into them.
HAIR & SCALP - add a generous amount of unrefined shea butter to your hair and scalp and cover with a warm towel for 30 minutes. After, style as usual.
Storing
5. Store unrefined shea butter in a dry area at room temperature. Heat will cause the shea butter to melt. Unrefined shea butter has a shelf life of 12 to 18 months if stored in an air-tight container. When it's bad, unrefined shea butter smells like rancid oil.
