Organics Shea Butter: Product Review

(Click on the image for a large view that allows you to easily read the ingredients clearly.)

Pros
  • Contains no petrolatum or mineral oil which are harmful to the body and hair. (another post will explain why)
  • No build-up
  • Nice smell
  • Contains the ever popular, moisturizing shea butter.

Cons
  • Shea butter is an ingredient but it's way down on the ingredients list which means there isn't very much in it. I can hardly pronounce that ingredients and to me, that's always a bad thing.
  • Contains Propylene Glycol (can cause liver abnormalities and kidney damage)
  • The immediate results are not long-lasting. You would need to apply this everyday.
  • It give no sheen. Frankly, I don't know what the big deal is. I did even get much moisture. It was a bit oily, but not the kind that feels nice and moisture filled. I'd rather use Africa's best Herbal Oil. That one leaves my hair feeling healthier.
Notice how long the Cons section is? I'm not impressed. I'm not throwing it out though. I'll try it again eventually and see if my feelings change. Sometimes a product doesn't work in combination with another. Lets see what the future holds. Nevertheless, I wouldn't recommend it. It cannot compare to the infamous Cantu Shea Butter Leave In Treatment.

  2. Hi Sandra. The scarf is really a narrow beach cover-up I bought from Sun Island in Jamaica. The earrings were from some boutique by the Harbor in Baltimore, Maryland. And yes, they're clip-on. I don't know the name of the store.
