    I am so disappointed that this did not work well for me. Yes, it does seem to moisturize a bit and it feels nice and is silky and I like that it is un-scented and I can add EO's; but it really...

    I love Crisco! Everyone thinks I'm nuts when I tell them to use Crisco for skin problems and dry hair but its true. I get very, very itchy dry skin on my legs and occasionally have eczema...

    One important "tweak" I would add to the positive reviews of Crisco is this: buy the store brand. Yes, Crisco itself is a very cheap (and good) moisturizer, but the store brand is exactly the same...

    OMG!! Great as a heat protectant on natural hair. I got great results when I used a small amount when flat ironing my hair. My hair was left very smooth, bouncy and luscious. Crisco has no scent.

    Smells disgusting despite the claims that it is unscented. Tried to mask with some Chanel No19 and to no avail. I used this on my dry legs and it would not soak in, too hydrogenated. I would like...

    This makes a nice foot moisturizer. Takes a lot of time to massage it in and could do with a few drops of essential oils to make the smell more pleasant. It doesn't smell bad, but very plain and...

    I'm so glad I finally tried crisco as a moisturizer. Years ago I had heard that it made a great moisturizer, but I didn't try it until discovering it on here. It's very moisturizing. It doesn't...

    My gyn recommended Crisco for preimenopausal vaginal dryness. At first I thought she had to be kidding. However, after many attempts to stop the itching, Crisco is the best so far. I've used A&D...

    I have been using crisco off and on for years. Many of the fancy soy based creams use crisco in them for the oils. I love to whip some honey, crisco, olive oil, and glycerine until it is light...
