Unprocessed Shea or Cocoa Butter - Anyone use?

I have been reading a lot about the unprocessed shea and cocoa butters that you can purchase and how wonderful they are for the skin -- even problem skin such as exzema, psoroasis -- ladies - I know I am not spelling these conditions correctly, but you know what I am referring to --- etc. I understand that they can have an odor that is not necessarly the most pleasing and it may be necessary to soften them before use, but that they are extremely beneficial.

Has anyone used these products and with good success?

I recently ordered some from Amazon (haven't received yet). However, after reading about them, I did decide to purchase a tub which was slightly filtered and softened in order that it would not have pieces of shell, be gritty, or so hard in texture.

Thanks for your replies!
