I have not used this oil but am excited to try a new “whipped” body butter recipe. The size and price was right!

Looks nothing like this picture. It’s very clumpy and super cloudy. Need to update your picture

Bryan – In general we agree that image is inaccurate but Shea Olien is supposed to be creamy when mixed properly. We removed the image to avoid confusion for few customers who are unfamiliar with properties of Shea Olein. Thanks for your feedback.
