Nubian Heritage Shea Butter should have issued a warning: “Caution: This product is hard to resist!”

I assumed that Nubian Heritage’s Coconut and Papaya Shea Butter would smell like, well, coconuts and papaya. Pretty logical, right? But as soon as I twist-opened the cover, everyone in STATUS HQ was suddenly asking about where the sweet scent (so unexpected from coconuts and papayas) was coming from. No kidding. It has a sweet candy smell that makes you wanna lick the tub dry.

It’s a real skin food with its ingredients: coconuts—chock full of vitamins, minerals and fatty acids that are made to soften and protect skin—as well as the papain in papayas to gently dissolve dead skin cells, loosen pore blockage, and stimulate circulation. The whole recipe just adds up to some quality conditioning and firming.—SEREENA
