Palmer's Shea Butter Questions / regulatory shea butter [african shea butter] [soybean oil]

Ok, Im not African shea butter from Jergens or something. Mostly because I can not find in the shops I find any. So I purchased Palmers Shea Butter Formula in a creamy lotion like the formula. It contains mineral oil and soybean oil.

I also bought black and beautiful shea butter dip. Again a very lotiony lotion. Rich cream LOTION

My question is, will this cause me to break out? If so, tell me why.

I have dry skin and type of skin, like skin or just dry patches on my face, especially in the area mustache, chin, cheeks lower region unibrow, eyebrows and nose.

Reply:It is very hard to find something from a drug store that will keep your skin moist for long that is good for acne. Everything is water based, your skin needs natural oils.

Reply:I've been using this stuff and I have not really broken out to my knowledge. Hopefully I can keep it from kicking in breakout mode.

Are there any good moisturizers out that I can use that are veeeeeeeerrrrryyyy good and you could get from a walgreens or grocery store? I am desperate! I have used cetaphil, clean and clear moisturizers and some other products. None really help moisturize my skin and keep it that way for more than a couple hours.

Reply:oh yeah, and i've talked to someone who uses only shea butter to control his acne and its worked wonders for him. do a search at the other websites on acne

Reply:yes, mineral oil will make you break out. look for karite…i think that's the official name of shea butter, the real kind, made in africa.

Reply:Mineral oil with make you break out and soybean oil too.

Reply:Personally, I would not use those. If you're wanting the true benefits of shea butter, you will probably need to look on the internet, if there aren't any African stores in your area. Do a search under "free trade unrefined shea butter". REAL shea butter comes in a "hunk"-like a brick shaped piece. All that other stuff you buy in the store has shea butter in it, but as you said above, it's got other stuff in it, too. That other stuff might make you break out. But I mean, try what you got. It may work for you and not make you break out.
