Jergens Shea Butter Skin Enriching Moisturizer Review

My mom is in a rehab for a fractured knee. They have been using Aquaphor on her extremely dry skin. One Friday when the Dermatologist was in to check her he said that rubbing Aquaphor was great but that (This is an amazing statement and one I haven't done any research on.) Shea Butter would cut the pre-cancerous stuff on my mom (and me) by 75% in terms of becoming cancerous! He commented that her Oil of Olay would cut the risks to 20%. Needless to say we are both slathering on Jergen's Shea Butter. I found this 21-ounce pump bottle at CVS though I had to search.

A Closer View

I paid $7.99 for this bottle. The bottle said I was getting 25% free. The white liquid smells wonderful. I tried to get my mom to help me describe the smell and she couldn't but looking at the ingredients I would have to say that the mango and cocoa gives it an amazing light and delicious fragrance that isn't overwhelming but lasts.

Jergen's Shea Butter is a tad greasy but not as greasy as other products I've used. I do type right away but waiting 10 minutes is ideal. The greasy feeling will be totally gone by then. It lasts for a long time keeping my skin feeling moist. I love that it absorbs right away. I don't like having to rub in products.

It's made with African Shea Butter as well as the other ingredients mentioned above. There are other ingredients I can't pronounce which can be seen at www.drugstore.com. I've been asked about these ingredients. They are: Water, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Petrolatum, Ceteareth 20, Hydroxyethyl Urea, Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter, Ethylhexyl Isonanoate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Octyldodecyl Myristate, Hydrogenated Polydecane, Cetylesters, CyclopentaSiloxane, Dimethicone, Fragrance, Isohexadecane, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Sodium Hydroxide, Stearic Acid, Carbomer, Mineral Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Methylisothiazolinone, Methylparaben, Propylparaben

This is advertised as good for pregnant women to eliminate stretch marks. The Dermatologist commented that it will lessen our age spots and reduce the color of them. Obviously unless I had a clone I couldn't say with 100% certainty that this is a true statement for me but I do like Jergen's Shea Butter and along with a whole host of moisturizers will continue to use it.
