[ Review ] Nubian Raw Shea Butter Hand & Body Scrub

 

Product Description

Raw Shea Butter Hand and Body Scrub from Nubian Heritage scrubs away the negativity to reveal your best self yet! Treat your hands, heels and everything in between to a fresh perspective with our sweet shea butter body scrub.

Real sugar granules gently exfoliate dead skin cells and environmental detritus, making room for soothing moisture from certified organic shea butter blended with safflower seed oil, soy milk, olive oil and cocoa butter. While your skin drinks in all that deep natural hydration, your senses awaken to the spicy scent of kings from essential oils of frankincense and myrrh. More than just transcendent aromatherapy, myrrh adds anti-inflammatory to the list of shea butter scrub benefits you'll enjoy with the Raw Shea Butter Hand and Body Scrub from Nubian Heritage.

Nubian Heritage got its start on the streets of Harlem. Fresh out of college and without jobs, Richelieu Dennis and Nyema Tubman set out to bring the healing traditions of African Black Soap and Shea Butter to the community they loved. Short on experience but full of passion and determination, they mined their knowledge of culturally authentic healing traditions to create natural skin and body treatments to share with their families and community. That was back in 1992, and they've held fast to that commitment every day since.

I love shopping for new body scrubs and chanced upon Nubian Raw Shea Butter Hand & Body Scrub on Iherb. My favourite body scrub would still be Giovanni Hot Chocolate Sugar Scrub.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Nubian Raw Shea Butter Hand & Body Scrub comes in a 340g tub of yellow scrub goodness. It smells sweet and is lovely. The sugar granules are large enough to provide a good exfoliation for the body.

How To Use :

1) Mix contents well. 

2) Apply a small amount to palm, massaging gently into skin using a circular motion, concentrating on rough, dry areas. 

3) As a hand treatment, rub palms together to create gentle warmth, massage gently into top of hands and cuticles. 

4) Rinse skin thoroughly with warm water and pat dry.

Review : Nubian Mango Butter Hand Cream

Product Description
Our Mango Butter Hand Cream is a nutrient-rich, long lasting moisture treatment. This all-natural recipe is fortified with multi-vitamins, Orange Oil and vegetable butters and oils to repair, moisturize and strenghen hard-working hands.

I purchased this from iHerb ( use my code to get US$5 off your first purchase ) sometime back and have been using it daily in my office for about 5 months. The 118ml size is large to bring along so having it in my office drawer is the perfect solution.

Else, you can also decant it into smaller tubs to bring it around which is what I did for other hand creams.

The name certainly sounds yummy and the scent smells mango-ish but well, it seemed that others may not think the same as me. A male colleague thought I smell like burnt capacitors. Gosh! Simply insane. Capacitors are electrical components used in electronic products and I am working in this industry.

Made in the USA, this product does not contain Parabens, Phthalates, Paraffin, UREA, Propylene Glycol, Mineral Oil, Synthetic Fragrance, PABA, Animal Ingredients, Petrolatum, Synthetic Color and DEA.

Its been said that the fruit seed of the mango tree yields as an excellent moisturiser rich in natural Vitamin B, carotenoids and antioxidants. The hand cream boasts of a mixture of shea butter and Vitamin C as well.

The brand, Nubian Heritage complements the moisturizing, soothing and restorative benefits of Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Mango Butter and Avocado Butter with the anti-aging and regenerative properties of Jojoba Oil, Aloe Vera and Vitamin E in their Body Butter line. These vitamin rich treatments contain powerful skin hydrators to maximize moisture retention and skin suppleness.

 
The product comes in a tube form and the beige colour hand cream is easily dispensed from the large tube. Beige in colour, the texture is creamy and spread easily but does not provide a good moisturising feel on the hands. I require repeated application due to its non-moisturising texture.

Ingredients:
Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter*, Deionized Water, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter)*, Stearyl Alcohol (Palm Kernel), Ceteareth 20 (Emulsifying Wax), Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter*, Vegetable Glycerin, Jojoba Oil*, Essential Oil Blend, Carbomer, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice*, Orange Oil, Allantoin (Comfrey Root Extract), Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) Flower (and) Lonicera Japonica (Japanese Honeysuckle) Flower Extract * Certified Organic Ingredient
