Thanks for sharing. I know Shea butter is an excellent moisturizer but disn't know that it has healing properties for skin related problems. Can recommend a brand for fairly traded Shea butter?

Wah use hand sanitizer frequently caused dryness as well? Super high alcohol content? I remember during the period when H1N1 was at its peak, nearly everyone has a sanitizer & even the manufacturer can't keep up with the market demand.
A lot of existing good moisturizer would probably have some Shea butter in it. After being refined & mixed with other substance, it generally would still retain its moisturizing property but completely lose all healing properties. Probably that's why you didn't experience it's healing benefits. Some older people who bought Shea butter to tackle their eczema, reported that their pre-mature wrinkles reduced as well lol.

I have some Shea butter from US for sale, haven't open a thread in garage sales yet lol. But there are few local companies selling Shea butter in Malaysia, some of them brand it themselves. You can check them out as well.

Yes. Alcohol dries your hand. That's why must look for hand sanitizer with moisturiser.

Well the only one I know that's good and works are Nubian Heritage Raw Shea Butter. Local companies priced it min 100-200% more expensive. mad.gif vmad.gif that's why I always buy from overseas. Save min 100-200%. rclxm9.gif

For raw Shea butter should look for raw/cold-pressed Shea butter.

Thanks, will check out Nubian Heritage.

Lol yea I noticed the ones that tend to mark up that high from the original manufacturer are the cross border merchants. But I think there's a local company that's in the midst of importing Nubian Heritage products into Malaysia, so the pricing might be better. You bought yours from iHerb? Any issues with Custom when your orders arrives in Malaysia?
The keyword is "pre-mature", meaning if you're not meant to get wrinkles yet aka got wrinkles due to unhealthy skin, then yes it'll be able to reduce it. But if you're like 90 years old & its naturally part & parcel for that age, I don't think it'll help la lol. Because shea butter works by repairing, rejuvenating, restoring or remedy. So if it's not broken, there's nothing for the shea butter to fix  biggrin.gif
