Product Description: This brand new Shea Butter whip is a jarful of joy! Lightly scented with fond memories of white velvet cream and moist layer cake, it is hard to resist as a start to each morning... or a sweet farewell to each day. Inspired by the famous comfort treats -Whoopie Pies. Farmers would find these handmade creamy cake-like delights in their lunchbox and shout "Whoopie!" We hope this every day cream becomes your every day delight, too... The supple butters and Vitamin E packed Jojoba and Soybean oils calm even the severest of dry skin. A giftably gorgeous 10 ounce glass jar and fun box makes a pretty keepsake.
AHS Thoughts: This cream is more like a lotion than a cream as far as consistancy goes. It's slightly thicker than lotion, but sinks right in to moisturize even the driest skin. The scent is what I especially love, I catch myself just sniffing the pretty little glass jar. If you have never had a real Whoopie pie, I feel for you you need to click the read more tab (below the link within widget) for a recipe from Emeril. The cream smells sweet, with a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg and it lasts longer than I expected it to.
