Organic Body Cream - Patchouli Decadence - Antioxidant Moisturizer - Raw Shea Butter, Coconut, Jojoba, Geranium, Lemongrass

I researched for hours to find the best butter for my growing pregnant belly. So many products that say Shea butter are so watered down you might as well put regular old jergens lotion on. I finally came across this product on amazon and the reviews and ingredients seemed to be just what I was looking for. Once it arrived I couldn't have been more pleased. It is the perfect consistency for a bedtime lathering session. Its good and think but rubs on nice and smooth. I have used it nearly every night on my belly and hips since I was 5 months pregnant and I will likely use it even after baby comes in a few weeks. (still no stretch marks and never got itchy) The scent is very mild and can be mixed with your favorite essential oil scent if you prefer. I have recommended this to all my pregnant friends and will recommend it to you. It's well worth the money. One jar lasted approx a month and a half.

Bought this for someone who is sensitive to smells, hoping for a lightly fragranced body butter. When it arrived I could smell it through the packaging. Ended up having to pass it off to someone other than who it was originally intended. It is a pleasant if strong smelling product, and seems to work very well on dry, chapped skin.

This is a great cream for those days when you've washed a lot of dishes or done a lot of gardening before remembering to put on those gloves! When the drying central heat is on and the skin is flaky or raw, this does a great job, and they haven't stinted on the lavender oil, either. I only took away one star because it is almost too greasy for me, more like a skin balm. I would have taken just a half star if I could have figured out how. But it does nourish very well. Very nice product.

I am 6 months pregnant and have been using this product since 10 wks. I have very sensitive skin and a hypersensitive sense of smell right now. This body butter has been the only thing I can use with no reactions in my skin or scent department. It is a very firm body butter, but it spreads over your skin and soaks in very well as soon as it comes in contact with your natural body heat. It has not marked any of my clothing and has lasted quite well through applications to the belly and hips 2x a day. This product has definately soothed any stretch induced itches and keeps it away altogether most of the time.

SEPTEMBER 2019 UPDATE: I've updated my review from 5 stars to 2 stars because the manufacturer increased the price by almost $10 dollars this year, and the only thing that appears to have substantially changed is the upscale packaging. The ingredients remain the same: shea butter, coconut oil, jojoba. I still believe this is a great product. I had purchased 5 jars of this balm on Amazon before the price and packaging was changed. I knew that the cream was simple and natural enough to D.I.Y. (i.e., make myself) but at the prior price point I had thought "It's a bit of a splurge when I could learn to make it myself but at $22.95 it's worth it. Plus I'll have a nice reusable jar after I'm done with the cream."With the same ingredients I could understand a few dollars increase in price....but to increase it at one go to $32? It was too big a jump for me (for my wallet as well as my principles), but maybe not for others. I should thank Thesis for their "upscaling" of this product because it was just the push I needed to try making my first D.I.Y. cream from raw ingredients I purchased on Amazon. The consistency I ended up with was slightly different than this product but the therapeutic effect and the natural scent were identical. Now I'm a convert to making this natural balm myself. Because it truly is an excellent product/formulation. I just don't want to pay $32 for 4 ounces of it. But everyone has different price points.This was my original 5-star review:I recommend this gentle (yet thick and emollient) balm for anyone who is suffering from dry, cracked, inflamed skin. You will notice improvement almost immediately. It may feel "greasy" at first, but that is only temporary because the balm penetrates well into the skin and is absorbed fairly quickly. I find I only need the smallest amount to cover both hands. However, if you use a greater amount, the time it takes to be absorbed into the skin will be longer. It's so gentle and nonirritating that I've begun to use it on my face too.

The cream is no creamy at all, it’s like hard lard and when you finally get it on your skin it turns oily. I’m very disappointed with this product

Shea Butter is absolutely the best product you can get to make your skin soft, smooth and supple. Not only is it organic, it combines the best of the best of body oils. It is easiest to use when the skin is moist because it speads easier. That is the problem with 100% shea butter - getting it to soften for easy application. Don't be fooled by the small jar as a little goes a long way. This has a lavendar scent that softens upon application. The best part is that it is organic.
