the outer packaging is very nice but once opened [SEP] i did not expect this to be a brick of shea that i would need to process somehow to make a usable product now i am not entirely sure what i am going to do with it i guess i will have to go online and find some recipes for it and whip something up there is a website address on the flyer included in the packagethe outer packaging is very nice but once opened the actual block of shea butter is in a common zip baggie unimpressive it does have an earthy aroma as stated on the flyer not unpleasant but a bit too strong for my nose i am one notch under neutral on the scent
