african butter | hydrate + firm body cream
Haai man what’s going on with this cream
Living for how rich this cream is. But it doesn't take ages to soak in like most super rich creams do, which is such a bonus. Also love a glass jar rather than more plastic!
This feels amazing on my skin. I feel nourished and glowy after using it. The packaging is great!
I bought this product at Wellness Warehouse. Was super happy to receive headband gift with my purchase over R500. The packaging is beautiful. But my goodness what a terrible product. It’s so drying on the skin and difficult to work in! I cannot believe this. Unfortunately I’ll be going back to using my R80 bottle of Nivea verrryyy disappointed
Love the benefits of shea butter, hyaluronic acid and Niacinamide. I’ve been using this body butter every day since I’ve received it!
