Is shea butter comedogenic?
Shea butter is wonderfully non-comedogenic, with a comedogenic rating of 0-2 (on a scale of 0-5), making it an excellent choice for all skin types, including acne-prone skin. Unlike some heavier oils and butters, shea butter's unique composition allows it to moisturize deeply without clogging your pores. Our Sweet Vanilla Shea Oil is particularly lightweight and absorbs quickly, delivering nourishment while letting your skin breathe. The natural vitamins and fatty acids in shea butter can actually help balance oil production and maintain clear, healthy skin. You can confidently apply it to your face and body without worrying about breakouts or blocked pores.
Cocoa butter vs shea butter? How does shea compare to cocoa butter?
Both shea butter and cocoa butter are excellent natural moisturizers, but shea butter offers unique advantages that make it particularly special. While cocoa butter is known for its rich texture and sweet chocolate scent, shea butter stands out for its exceptional healing properties, thanks to its high concentration of vitamins A and E, along with essential fatty acids. Our Sweet Vanilla Shea Oil is particularly effective for soothing dry, irritated skin and can help improve skin concerns like eczema and dermatitis. Shea butter also has a lighter feel than cocoa butter, absorbing more quickly into the skin without leaving a heavy residue. Plus, its natural vitamin content provides gentle protection against environmental stressors while supporting your skin's natural collagen production – making it an excellent choice for maintaining youthful, resilient skin.

This is the BEST oil I've used in my life!! Since menopause my skin has changed drastically. It's been very dry, itchy and flaky. I've tried so many oils, creams, butters etc. You name it, I've tried it. This oil has alleviated Aaaaalllllll that. And I mean all. I'm so happy I could literally cry. My skin is starting to look like it did when I was in my 30s. It worth every penny and I'll never be without it. It's so good, I can use it alone with no lotion or cream and still stay moisturized. Thank you!!
I like the oil, the only issue I have is the top part of the bottle. It comes with a little semi circle to prevent the oil from coming out unnecessarily however the top broke within days. Now I cannot travel with my bottle, the product itself is great.
This has become a holy grail product. It keeps the skin supple and shiny. I always add it to my perfumed body oils to add more volume/extend use and it mixes very well without disrupting the scent profile. Very nourishing and lasts a long time.
I have been using this product now for a few years and it has proven itself to be very good at keeping my skin luxurious and soft. I almost couldn’t get any and had a fit!
This is my favorite body oil. I use it all over my body including my face and hair. Texture feels light, absorbs quickly and moisturizes my skin without an oily feeling. Great product.
It's ok, but at the price point I thought I would LOVE it. It just kinda sits on the skin, so whatever rubs against my skin, the oil transfers to. I will continue to use it, but maybe in a different way, like adding it to my lotion or hair moisturizer.
My first try was when Costco carried it and then they didn’t…
Having to pay more than what Costco carried it for (almost double) is worth it. One of those once you try it you have to buy items. Not greasy but look like you are glowing! Also use it in my hair when I have leftover on my hands, keeps it shiny too! Lasts a long time using every other day. Love Love Love!!
Love the body oil because of it's thick consistency which my skin seems to receive the rich moisture so amazingly!!
My dry body skin needs the extra that the Bolden Body Oil supplies!!🤗
The Bolden Body Oil is just what I've been needing. The consistency is great to use on my dry body skin. It's just the thickness I need especially with my 60+ creepy skin. The scent is also pleasant !!🤗
I was looking for a good liquid oil for my body after getting out of the shower. I wanted a pump versus a jar of solid that I’d have to work within my hands (I’m getting lazy in my older age ;) ). I also wanted one without a strong scent, so it wouldn’t fight with my perfumes. This one is unscented which is great, even though many shea butter products have a nutty scent. This one is perfect!!!! I love it!!!!
Love thia shea butter oil - it is wonderful for soothing and moisturizing dry, itchy skin. I use this immediately after taking my shower and my ski is much better since I have been using.
My new favorite product- only a half of a pump is what you need to moisturize hands! And a full pump is more than enough for your arms...Will re-purchase!
I'm a 74 yr old caucasian woman with medium dry skin. I love this Shea Butter Oil. It goes on smoothly, absorbs quickly but doesn't leave me looking like a floating oil slick. I use it in my curly hair, face and body, especially after showering. This is truly a great product.
Price point is a little high yet a little goes a long way. It’s thick and adds great sheen to skin although won’t glide on while wet it doesn’t feel like it’s best used that way
