evanhealyWhipped Patchouli Vanilla Shea Butter, 1.9 OZ

I've been wanting this product for a LONG time. I finally got the $37.95 to buy it. I wanted to buy it from Evan Healy directly, but their shipping to AK simply costs too much for me. Although I definitely wanted it to smell like patchouli, I wanted it to be delicate. The scent hit me before I even opened the box despite the fact it was wrapped in bubble wrap. It's really very earthy and dank, not even like too strong patchouli that you smell on someone else, it was even less pleasant. It smelled like a root cellar where something might also be rotting. I couldn't smell the vanilla at all. Perhaps I'm not accustomed to shea butter, but I was shocked that the product was solid and grainy. I imagined it as a rich cream. Even though I planned to use it on my body, I was surprised that it was billed as a face balm. It is WAY too greasy to put on my face. To add insult to injury, the product only filled the jar half way. I have no idea if it weighed 1.9 oz or not as advertised, but it certainly didn't look like a good value for my nearly $38. I don't blame the seller for this, it is what it is. If I would have ordered from Evan Healy, I would be asking for a refund. I should have done more research I guess.

Really disappointed. First of all this is very greasy coconut oil and the shea butter is not great for the face. It feels old slightly gritty and like air got to it. Old shea butter does get gritty. It isn't the color of the picture. I can buy this and have for 10 dollars for more product on Etsy with same ingredients and fresh. I wonder how Evan Healy can mark up her products way more than 1000%, Simply it is old and products like this for this price should be fresh. Was not able to return. I tried contacting company directly without any luck. Eleneetha makes 4 ounces 13 dollars. Super Fine Patchouli Vanilla Body Butter, it is a zillion times better.

The whipped butter part is perfect but the patchouli scent (my favorite scent) is much too strong.Even to barely touch it and mix it with other lotions, it’s still too overwhelming.I love Evan Healy so was super disappointed.

This shea butter works well for those dry patches on my face and I use it on my neck and other patches on my skin. It combines well with the fluid moisturizer, serums and hydro souls to adjust to the amount of moisture I need and it works great as an overnight cream and mask, especially during the winter or dry times. I like the musky smell and it's a handy item to take when I travel because it can be used as a mask, intense moisturizer, lip balm, body cream and even to remove make-up. The scent works for me too.

When I smelled the jar, I was disappointed in the faintness of the perfume; it developed on the body, though, and is already, on the first day, my new favorite. This is the patchouli scent I love: a slight duskiness around the edges, instead of the clean innocence of modern patchouli soaps and perfumes. Evan Healy seems to do old-fashioned: heavy creams and oils, darker scents...But that's what I like. The cream is very moisturizing, by the way. I highly recommend (but give it 20 minutes to soak in), and will continue to use. Now, to see if Evan Healy makes a patchouli soap to go with the cream!
