I love shea butter, I've found it to be the most effective of all the plant oils. I was looking for L'occitane or Out of Africa hand cream, it's fairly expensive even on ebay.

I went to the local health food store and bought a big jar of pure shea butter for 9.99, it's hard and waxy, but if you put a tiny scrape of it in your hand it will emulsify immediately. I love that you can mix it with regular hand cream or moisturizer and 'customize' the amount. I use a tiny bit for hands and face, a little more for body, full strength for feet and lips. You can use it (sparingly) on hair too, but I haven't done that yet.

Just thought I would pass this along, especially with dry skin season here.
