Mary Tylor Naturals Pure Shea Butter 1 lb Raw, Unrefined, Ivory From Ghana Africa — Great for Hair, Skin and all your DIY Projects

i was skeptical when I received this product due to the smell, which some have described as earthy. That's a good description. But as the company says, the smell disapates once applied. I love the product and will buy it again. My duaghter had a rash on her neck earlier today. She asked if I could apply the shea butter, which surprised me. She complained about the smell but it soothed her rash. My GF also doesn't love the smell but so far that has been inconsequential. What matters to me is: purity, safety, and effectiveness. It checks those boxes for me. I no longer notice the smell.

I have used this brand of shea butter for years. It worked great on my psoriasis. This latest order has a horrible smell. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! It is unusable! Surely someone at the Mary Tylor organization is aware that something is wrong with this batch. DO NOT ORDER THIS product.

I bought this in 2025 and it was great! Very smooth and lightly smoky/nutty scented. I recommended it to all my family and friends. But I made another purchase at the end of this June and just opened it. It was rancid, gray, and smelled of feces. The smell filled my entire kitchen, dining area, and living room from opening it. It had touched it and put some on my hands to see if I was going crazy and then had to wash my hands 4 times to get the smell off. DO NOT BUY!!!!! This company has poor quality control if this is what I received. You will receive feces Shea butter that is god awful.

Oy my goodness does this stuff smell so bad, its unrefined which is how its advertised.

I have loved this product but the past two purchases have been too hard to use and has a grayish-brown color and looks like it is molding. It is not the Mary Tylor shea butter I have gotten in the past. I threw one bag away and then ordered another thinking that was just one bag that was off, but the second one is the same. If you try to pinch off a piece to warm it in your hands so it will go smoothly on the body, this one crumbles and will not soften. It is a big disappointment, and after two bags thrown in the trash, I would not order it again. Buyers, beware! I hate that what was once a great product is now unusable.

Great for making body butters

The smell is strong and not good, I got used to it my family doesn’t love it and still calls it the stinky lotion. It helps stretch marks go away and works as a sun screen which I found out first hand by mistake before I read about it. I got a sunburn everywhere but where I had the lotion (or clothing). Does stain clothing a little if you put clothing over the lotion too soon.

Worked out great when I was in a time crunch it was very smooth

Manteca caducada. olor fetido, presencia de moho u hongos.

La primera vez llego todo bien, muy buen shea butter con olor delicioso. La segunda vez me llego con un olor muy raro feo y no me dan ganas de aplicarmelo en la piel.
