Directions from packaging:

Usage: Apply this rich shea and aloe creme after bathing, or use on dry elbows, knees, and heels for soft, supple skin. For hair, retain moisture by applying Whipped Pudding after a water-based hydrator like Juices & berries. Makes a great sealing cream! Updated Usage: Apply to damp hair while twisting or braiding to seal in moisture and ensure hair remains pliant. This dense cream is also decadent and works well as a body butter after bathing, making dry elbows, knees, and heels supple and soft.

Understanding scores

Cosmetics and personal care products are not required to be tested for safety before being allowed on the market. The Skin Deep® scoring system was designed to help the public understand whether a product is safe to use or whether it contains ingredients of concern.

Every product and ingredient in Skin Deep gets a two-part score – one for hazard and one for data availability. The safest products score well by both measures, with a low hazard rating and a fair or better data availability rating.

HOW WE DETERMINE SCORES

Hazard score

The Skin Deep ingredient hazard score, from 1 to 10, reflects known and suspected hazards linked to the ingredients. The EWG VERIFIED™ mark means a product meets EWG’s strictest criteria for transparency and health.

Data availability

The Skin Deep data availability rating reflects the number of scientific studies about the product or ingredient in the published scientific literature.
