Shea butter works to replenish your skin's natural moisture content 24 hours a day, to leave your skin looking healthy and radiant.
This product does hydrate extremely well - my skin's winter dryness/peeling completely disappeared after using this product - and the moisturization lasts all day. It is on the heavy side but if you have dry skin, it is just right! It also has a nice scent to it.
Only 2 drawbacks - but huge: 1) SPF too low - only SPF 12 vs. minimum 15. 2) EWG gives this product a hazard score of 7 out of 10 ( http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/product.php?prod_id=100415). For this reason, I give a "3" for side effects as there may be non-apparent side effects.
