What we liked

  • + Listed as SLS/SLES free, soy free, non-GMO and cruelty free
  • + High glycerin content is described as giving a creamy lather, and it is made to take colors, essential oils or botanicals
  • + 2 lb pack is an inexpensive way to try the base before committing to a 10 lb block

Trade-offs

  • - Same brand and base type as the larger velona shea block in this guide, so it adds a size option rather than a different formula
  • - The listing does not state the shea butter percentage or whether the block is pre-scored
