SheaMoisture Organic Raw Shea Butter Lotion (and a Giveaway!)
Posted on September 21, 2011 by
Winter’s coming, folks, and you know what that means? Dry skin. For me, it’s constant struggle during the cold months to keep my skin from getting dry and flaky, which means I rely a lot on lotion. If your skin needs a lot of help in the moisture department, have I got the lotion for you: SheaMoisture Organic Raw Shea Butter Lotion.
This super-thick lotion — the texture reminds me of whipped cream cheese — delivers the most hydration of any lotion I’ve tried. Because it’s so thick, a little goes a long way, and the shea butter really gets in there and moisturizes my skin. Unlike some lotions, the moisture sticks around, too — my dry skin doesn’t reappear after an hour like it does with some other lotions.
SheaMoisture uses no parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde, synthetic colors, or any other nasty ingredients often found in beauty products. It also uses no animal ingredients at all. Shea butter is a popular natural skin moisturizer, and it’s used to treat eczema, psoriasis and stretch marks, which means you can use this lotion for a whole lot of skin problems.
SheaMoisture Organic Raw Shea Butter Lotion retails for $7.99 at Target, Walgreens, and many other stores.
And for anyone with dry or damaged hair, I have a solution for you! Leave a comment on this post and you could win a Deep Treatment Hair Masque and a bottle of Organic Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention Shampoo. Both are designed to hydrate, smooth and repair your hair and leave it soft and manageable.
To enter the contest, just leave a comment here and tell us what your favorite eco-friendly hair product is. You have until midnight Thursday, Sept. 22, to leave the comment. Then we’ll use the Random Number Generator to pick a winner, and I’ll mail you the hair masque and shampoo.
Good luck!

I really like Burt’s Bees super shiny conditioner. I have such dry hair that I try to use natural and gentle stuff to prevent split ends and keep it looking smooth without a bunch of chemicals.
I luvvvv Kinky-Curly brand “Knot Today” and “Curling Custard!” Good, organic stuff inside, and they smell fantastic.
I use Alaffia’s Everyday Shea conditioner (I love that company for both their products and their commitment to the environment, fair trade and giving back), but I could use some deep treatment!
I haven’t found any that I like, so I appreciate the suggestions here. I do use ACV every once in a while and have recently discovered Yes to Carrots and Cucumbers for skin care. I am not entirely pleased with them, though, so I would love to try this!

The first product I truly tried was Shea moisture oil , Then I decided to try Shea moisture pomade This is before the products were in stores, I ordered it all online. I really like Shea moisture oil because I am natural and I needed a product that gave good moisture since I am in natural state. Then I transition on using raw coconut oil which is semi the price of the oil.It’s costly but I still would make future purchase on this. To win a shampoo and condition set would be so wonderful because I’m natural and I need moisture const-intently and it would be a great transition set for me I would cherish it!
I love the SheaMoisture products that I happened upon in Target about two years ago. Just got out the shower and used the Organic Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention Shampoo and Conditioner and after rinsing I finished with Deep Treatment Hair Masque and a little of the conditioner as leave in. I use the Shea Moisture Hair Milk every day.
I love Shea Moisture Raw Shea butter line. I am using it while transitioning and it really moisturizes my hair without drying it out . I use the deep treatment as a leave in. I am 3 months in transition!

I used SheaMoisture Raw Shea Butter Lotion on my stomach every day of my pregnancy after I was 3 months along. It was my first pregnancy so I don’t know if things would have been different had I not used it, but I got not even the lightest stretch mark. I was very pleased. And I only had to buy one bottle of the stuff, to boot.
