Frost Fish Cove Tangerine Dream Whipped Shea Butter


Frost Fish Cove Tangerine Dream Whipped Shea Butter
Available through Etsy

4 oz. for $6.00 (+ $2 S&H)

[Shea Butter whipped with Grapeseed Oil, a touch of non-GMO, organic corn starch, Vitamin E and Jojoba Oi]

I received this small sample with the lip balm order I previously blogged about.

First, this smells yummy, but it does not smell like "Tangerine Dream." I would assume this scent is meant to be citrusy with a hint of vanilla. Rather this smells like the frosting you put on top of cinnamon rolls with a hint of cinnamon. And that is okay.

This cinnamon bun frosting whipped shea butter is really thick. A little goes a long way and I have been putting it on dry spots. For example, this morning I put some on my elbows and right now, 5 hours later, I can still feel it nourishing my skin. My elbows feel silky smooth and look fantastic. When you put this whip on, it feels greasy, not so much on your skin, but on your fingers as you put it on and swirl it around. It's a weird sensation, but I think it is because it is something I am not used to.

So, as I mentioned, this whip lasts a LONG time, which is awesome. And it still smells like yummy frosting, but it is not as strong and sweet. It is just enough to go about my day smelling light and scrumptious.

The one negative about this whip is when I dropped a bit on my shirt, it left a mark. I was able to wash it out, but if you were on the go and this happened... you may be a little pissed and or inconvenienced. And although this is not a vegan product, there are organic ingredients.

Overall, this is a really nice whip. My skin feels lush! In the small 5 gram jar I got, there is a lot packed in there, for the 4 oz container has to be a great value!

Rating: 4.7 outta 5
