Awesome butter
I was so happy when this butter was added to the selection here. Anyone who uses Kpangnan butter knows this isn’t a widely used butter and isn’t easy to find. I am so impressed with the quality of this butter, It truly does glide like silk. Smells amazing, and worked great in my body butter recipe.

Kpangnan Butter
Super moisturizing. Leaves a beautiful almost matte finish with a velvety texture. I have oily skin and use this as a face moisturizer by itself. A lot less oily by the end of the day. Has a nutty smell but dissipates with time. Lookin forward to making a blended body butter with this. My new favorite butter!

Love this butter
Very smooth and the perfect addition to my body cream. Not greasy and melts immediately. Also takes fragrance well.

So good
I have some jaw tension from clenching my teeth in my sleep and this butter relaxes my jaw a lot! I use it at night before Shea butter. Something in it relaxes facial muscles I’m sure of it. This came super fresh, love the silky texture and it really is indescribable you just have to try it! 5 stars.

Silky feel strong smell
I ordered this butter expecting the scent to be closer to a mild nutty/earthy scent. The scent came across as super strong. It had a very smokey scent and to me smelled exactly like burn't wood as opposed to earthy. Something I was not expecting. The scent eventually goes away after awhile but I did not find it to be a pleasant smell as the previous reviewer did. I think this butter is definitely one that is better for a mix with other butters than on it's own. The texture was as described. It went on very silky and smooth with a nice dry feel. The product and packaging were of good quality, I just could not handle the strong smell. The average rating has nothing to do with quality. It has to do with the smell. Others may find it enjoyable. I did not. I did return it and the seller was great about giving me a refund. I have ordered several other products from 3cayg and have loved all of them. This one just was not for me.
