Mary Tylor Naturals Pure Shea Butter 1 lb Raw, Unrefined, Ivory From Ghana Africa — Great for Hair, Skin and all your DIY Projects

i was skeptical when I received this product due to the smell, which some have described as earthy. That's a good description. But as the company says, the smell disapates once applied. I love the product and will buy it again. My duaghter had a rash on her neck earlier today. She asked if I could apply the shea butter, which surprised me. She complained about the smell but it soothed her rash. My GF also doesn't love the smell but so far that has been inconsequential. What matters to me is: purity, safety, and effectiveness. It checks those boxes for me. I no longer notice the smell.

Make sure yall look and BELIEVE the 1star reviews. I bought this back in 2025 and the smell was perfect. Smelt safe and healthy to use. I’m not joking when I opened the batch I just received today I kid you not I was talking to my mom on the phone and described the smell to her “you know when we were in the dairy farm?…” that’s exactly how it smelt. I don’t know what’s going on but this seems very unsafe and unsanitary. This is disappointing and horrific.

I bought this in 2025 and it was great! Very smooth and lightly smoky/nutty scented. I recommended it to all my family and friends. But I made another purchase at the end of this June and just opened it. It was rancid, gray, and smelled of feces. The smell filled my entire kitchen, dining area, and living room from opening it. It had touched it and put some on my hands to see if I was going crazy and then had to wash my hands 4 times to get the smell off. DO NOT BUY!!!!! This company has poor quality control if this is what I received. You will receive feces Shea butter that is god awful.

I have used this brand of shea butter for years. It worked great on my psoriasis. This latest order has a horrible smell. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! It is unusable! Surely someone at the Mary Tylor organization is aware that something is wrong with this batch. DO NOT ORDER THIS product.

I usually buy this and it is a pale yellow but this time is was a grey green color and looks like dark tea when I melted it. Something is off

Great for making body butters

The smell is strong and not good, I got used to it my family doesn’t love it and still calls it the stinky lotion. It helps stretch marks go away and works as a sun screen which I found out first hand by mistake before I read about it. I got a sunburn everywhere but where I had the lotion (or clothing). Does stain clothing a little if you put clothing over the lotion too soon.

Oy my goodness does this stuff smell so bad, its unrefined which is how its advertised.

Manteca caducada. olor fetido, presencia de moho u hongos.

La primera vez llego todo bien, muy buen shea butter con olor delicioso. La segunda vez me llego con un olor muy raro feo y no me dan ganas de aplicarmelo en la piel.
