These metal containers of Shea Butter are just great. My spouse applies shea butter to her feet every single morning and she swears by it. I sometimes will put some on my mustache. It smells so clean and fruity almost. Of course, the primary use is on our hands...terrific for drum-beaten hands and fingers. I have also used it on rough, scabby areas on the backs of my hands. (Probably has something to do with aging, huh?) We love this product; just wish it were available in retail stores in Missoula.
