You can get this product from an African store on Broadway between 18th & 17th Streets (just off Union Square) that sells the shea butter for $5/tub. They also sell Nubian soaps, and lots of other goodies.

Re: Real Shea Butter

#2 train to Winthrop would probably be closest, or the Q to Parkside, I think. I'm not that familiar with the Q line out in Flatbush.

Or there's always the 41.

Further down Flatbush going back towards Grand Army? How far down from Parkside?

I should probably just go to 125, I have to go through Manhattan anyway. Problem is I drive everywhere and trying to find parking is going to suck.

On St. Nicholas? Yeah, I could do that but I don't know how long I'll be in the area. I might just have to double park along 125, hop out real quick and hope a cop doesn't come along in the meantime.

A lot of those churches and funeral homes have "No Parking" signs in front. I'm going to try to go early, so if I really need to park I may find something on the side streets.

Yep, alongside St. Nick. Yuh nuh hear mi sey nubaddy nuh hawdly badda yuh pon satdey's? Di No Parking signs is juss a frawd, same like di fyah hydin dem. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Anyone knows where to get this? Especially in NYC? I've heard that it's good for hair and skin, and with winter almost here I want to be prepared this year (unles it's not wise to use it during winter [img]/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]). Thanks much.

loccitaine is expensive but so far that's the one that works best for me.

L'Occitane en Provence

Expensive, but the best for lips and hands and body!-none of the ones I purchased in african stores or other places helped.

What happens when you use it? was what you used the white shea butter? B/c there's the white kind, then there's the yellow kind. It's really good for the skin and lips, moisturizes like nothing else.

u know i got this stuff last summer, well my SO did, and up till now, no body no use it.
It just a sit der inna de guest room... [img]/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
A tink it might be de smell.. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70390-shhh.gif[/img]

Then you should look for the clear white one. Shea Butter is the best for the skin. The white one has no odor and is easier to apply. the yellow one someone got me from the african store in ny some time ago I never used-too greasy and hard to apply and b/c of the smell.

Loccitane (and on amazon.com) You can get the white one :

I thought that, too, K i a*(A). But they've changed a lot of the trains and the D was apparently one of them. I don't think it goes over there anymore, just the Q.
