Over the past few weeks, I have been trying and testing out a new Shea butter formula from a company called Le Beurre Shop. I love Shea butter, in fact, it is the main thing that I use to moisturize my skin above regular lotion.
When Shea butter is mixed with essential oils, and aromatic fragrances it can really have a really cool, soothing effect on the body.
If you’re not familiar with Shea butter, it is derived from the Shea nut tree in Western Africa in which the nut itself. Is dried and grounded then boiled down to extract the oily substance which then solidifies to form butter.
Shea butter is full of so many nutrients that are great for the skin. Such as Vitamin A, E, F, Fatty Acids, and minerals to protect, moisturize, and even heal the skin. It can be used as a body moisturizer for dry skin, a hair styler, a scalp soother, and even to heal wounds. Shea has also been known to help with arthritis and eczema.
However not all Shea butter formulations are the same. Some are dry, some smooth, and others more creamy and rich.
So when I received my Le Beurre Shop Shea butter in the mail. I was really excited. Shea butter has always done wonders for my skin when it comes to dryness and sealing in moisture.
The shipment arrived really fast, within a couple of days!
It had really pretty packing, and all the Shea butter was firmly packed in nice glass containers with adorable little tops.
All of their Shea butters are made with:
1. Grape-seed Oil – This helps to tighten and tone the skin, by locking in the moisture.
2. Jojoba Oil – This helps to nourish and revitalize the skin without weighing the skin down with oils.
3. Essential Oils – These treat acne, wrinkles, and inflammations, and protect the body from infection while at the same giving a calming relaxing effect.
4. Shea Butter – From Africa and full of nutrients.
5. Rice Powder – Is used to treat skin issues such as acne, and helps to absorb oil giving skin a nice matte finish that is not oily.
6. Purified Water – Free of chemicals, and impurities.
I received 4 sample sizes, and one really full 2oz size.
The ones which I got were,
Beurre Shea Butter Cream {essential} Formula
Beurre Shea Butter Cream – Lemon Grass
Beurre Shea Butter Cream – Vanilla
Beurre Shea Butter Cream – White Amber
Beurre Shea Butter Cream – Golden sand
All the flavors or Scents are really wonderful, not too strong, not too light.
The Essential Shea Butter in the 2oz size is really light, soft, and creamy to the touch. It melts really fast into the skin, and I have been using it every day now for about three weeks right when I get out of the shower. I love the smell that it has a true Shea butter smell. If you do not know what shea butter smells like it has a natural earthy aroma to it. I even used it on my lips as a natural lip balm and on my face every now than before I put on my makeup.
It was not oily at all.

The Lemon Grass is really earthy, has a thicker feel to me, is still smooth, and rubs into the skin really quick also. Great smell! I love earthy scents.
The Golden sand which is my favorite is not in the picture because I used it all up and lost it one day. Be leaving it in my purse somewhere. It has more of a grainy feel, still smooth but feels awesome on the skin. This Shea butter formula smells really heavenly and great on the skin.
Beurre Shea Butter Vanilla is really smooth to the touch and moisturizes really well. I just do not care for the scent of vanilla in Shea butter, or in candles. But that’s just my opinion. My husband loves vanilla and complimented me when I did have it on my skin for the day.
So to each his own.
The last one is the White Amber Shea formula. It smells sort of strong, but doable. I really loved this one too, because I’m just about out of it all. I have used this one mostly on my hands and feet the dryer parts of my body.
It worked really well on both my hands and feet!
So these are for sure a keeper!
All in all, I really like the Le Beurre Shea butter formulations, they seem to work really well on my skin. Rubbed on really well nice and smooth to the touch without a heavy oily feeling. I can do without the vanilla scent, however. In the end, the stuff is wonderful, and highly recommend their Shea butter products.
