so basically l'occitane has the biggest profit margin on plain shea butter ever. I can't believe how much they charge! At some of these sites I could buy literally pounds for the price of 4 oz of l'occitane.


Now Candy, they have to pay for their packaging...

*sneers at the audacity of some companies!!*

Mountain Rose Herbs sell pure unrefined and fair trade shea butter.

It has a light herbal scent, and is a light olive colour with a fluffy consistency.

I never knew the difference in texture from refined/unrefined shea butter because the first jar I got was pure white and felt like lard!!


just wanted to say I did check out this site and they have an excellent selection of oils (not so good of additives) and good prices for fair trade -- also an easy site to navegate and cheap shipping. I'm trying out the kokum butter from them.
