amazon isn’t perfect by far, but neither are most of its competitors. nonetheless i don’t blame anyone for not doing business with them.
I get it, everyone is in it to make a buck. And I actually do use Amazon for making a lot of orders, not everything of course. Its just that, after going through a complete disaster with buying Shea Butter on Amazon, I no longer trust them for those products. Other people have also written reviews about rotten Shea Butter on Amazon as well, so I am not the only case who had to deal with that.
enriched shea butter, what you bought will eventually go rancid from the oils. natural shea butters’ shelf life is 2-3 years on average.
Interesting! Well, I don't plan on keeping this container of Shea Butter around for 2-3 years. The plan is to use it, go through it, and hopefully need to buy some more of it before the year is over, will see how things go in that regard.
what i don’t like about the product you’re touting is that their page doesn’t indicate the volume of product. it’s too late for you to inform us since you already used some. lack of transparency when it comes to cosmetics isn’t exactly endearing in my opinion.
Now that you bring it up, your right, I've noticed that neither on the website, nor the container, does it list the weight of the product, which I admit is weird. And your right, I should have thought to weigh the container before using the product, I just didn't catch that discrepancy. But because I care, even though I used a little bit of it, I decided to weigh it anyways. Just look at this number on the scale and add a few more grams to it, and you got your rough estimate on weight.
What I will say, is that these are plastic containers, not glass jars. But from what I can tell, there is more Shea Butter product in this container, then there is Pre-Shave cream in Proraso's glass jars. So, for me anyways, that makes this product worth the money. Yes I know, two-different products for two-different tasks. But still, volume amounts do matter to me in comparison regardless.
You can choose to buy or not buy, that is your prerogative. I am simply trying to do my due diligence, by getting the information out there. And since you brought it up, I decided it was worth setting this up and taking a picture. Have a good day!
