Just wanted to update, I have not had any issues with the cream.

I’ve ordered it. It’s a home made cream, made by probably the only person in the world I would trust to make it for me.

I have no issues at all with shea butter. I use it in homemade lip balm and skin balms. I use it in a recipe to sooth my eczema, even. I guess with lip balm, I have ingested it. I haven’t eaten it in nut form to my knowledge.

I am allergic to peanuts and tree nuts (specifically only pistachios and cashews as far as I know).

Dd is peanut/tree nut and uses Shea without issues.  I think it’s in some chocolate, I’d have to check, but I do think so.  I’ll have to check ingredients on safe brands she eats.

DD was contact sensitive for sure when she was a kid.  We avoid and she has not eaten.  Kleenex with shea made her whole face blow up when she was little and a lotion with shea irritated her skin too.

Thank you for the info.

I read the labels of all the creams in my home. None have it.

DD who is not allergic to peanuts or tree nuts is allergic to Shea used topically. I am allergic to peanuts and tree nuts (but not drupees that I’m aware of) and I do not react to topical Shea. Neither of us has ingested it to my knowledge.

I am considering purchasing a lotion that has Shea butter in it. Googling I find it’s a nut....or a drupe. I eat other drupes.

Do people here eat/use it? (Is it ever edible? I don’t know.)

Do people avoid it?

If you care to answer, please also include whether dealing with peanut or nut or both.

TIA
