I have to add a few things to these testimonials. My partner works with wood and all kinds of stuff that leave his hands dry and chapped. He also gets splits on his fingertips (ouch!) I hassled him until he started using the Shea Butter on his hands every night - he rubs a little extra on his fingertips. The splits are healed. It didn't happen overnight, but it does work.

Also, 3 weeks ago I brought home a dog from the Humane Society to foster him until he was healthy - he told me to, what can I say?!! Anyway, he had a bad case of kennel cough and needed to be out of the kennels. Because of the kennel cough, his poor little nose was dried out and crusty (yucky, I know) so I started rubbing a little shea butter on it every night. Now his nose is as soft and clear as it should be. And the end of the story is that we adopted him so he is very happy to be part of our family along with Peanut, our Queensland Heeler, Eddy, and Schmoozie (our two cats). Oh, and my partner, too!!
