Seller Variations!
I ordered this once previously from another seller, and was extremely pleased with what I received- exactly what was described, pure shea butter packaged nicely in a plastic tub. It lasted me a long time even though I used it daily, and was very satisfied with the product.
However, when I finally ran out and reordered, the second batch I received was very different from the first! What arrived was less than a pound, and was wrapped in TISSUE paper, rather than in a tub or even a plastic bag. If the day had been a little bit warmer the shea butter would have melted and run all over the place! I was not pleased at all with this packaging, not only because it might have melted, but also because the fragile paper wrap left the butter open to outside contaminants.
Aside from the packaging and the weight, shea butter itself was a different color and slightly different texture. However I've been using it for over a week and the quality seems just as good, so at the very least I'm pleased with that and will continue to use it. I'm going to be very careful about whom I order my next batch from!
