I like the quantity, but I'm unsure about the quality.
I just got mine in the mail, was super excited as this was my first time ordering from amazon.com. The shea butter came in a large plastic bag. The color was ivory and white...this I've never seen before. It had a marble type of look. So as I usually do, I melted it in a pot on the stove and put it into my containers and refrigerated it. The next morning when I went to use it, it was very oily. Almost like Vaseline. It had some dirt in it as we'll. Not enough to get bent out of shape about. I also noticed the residue in the pot and the shea butter had separated from whatever oil was in it.
In conclusion, this shea butter is either extremely raw and unrefined to the point that you'd have to manually seep rate the shea butter from the oil, or it's not pure and it has been cut with oil. It smells like shea butter an coconut butter.
