My Instagram followers might be aware of the NickofTime brand when I had reviewed their African Coffee Blend .After trying the coffees (do try their Ethiopian and Indian Coffee – yumtastic ! ) I ventured to try their skin care range which includes products made from Original African Shea butter. I shall be sharing my experience of Nick of Time 30 % Shea butter Petroleum Jelly , a skin protectant .

PRICE – Rs 350 for 40 gms is the M.R.P. but I got it for Rs 150 /- only (57% discount) from their website
WHAT I LOVED about The Nick of Time 30 % Shea Butter and 70% Petroleum Jelly
1. I really loved the great discount for the quality and quantity – this is a steal !
2. The fact that it is sourced from Original and Pure Shea butter from Africa
3. The fact that is works so well on all skin types and is suitable and gentle enough for babies
4. Keeps the skin soft and supple, specially the lips, elbows, knees and feet.
5.Has no artificial colours or fragrances added so no added chemicals and that is great for sensitive skin
6.Helps in fading old scars and blemishes also good for use during pregnancy to avoid and treat stretch marks !
7.I tried using it on my face (just for the sake of experiment as I have oily and acne prone skin) and it did not give me any skin reaction the next day, though I do not recommend it for face as it is quite rich but maybe girls with dry skin may love it on the face too.

WHAT TURNED ME OFF about The Nick of Time 30 % Shea Butter and 70% Petroleum Jelly
1. The packaging in a glass tub is very basic and close to being unattractive.
2. The bulky pack is not travel friendly .
3. A little bit of fragrance would have been welcome.

FINAL VERDICT
Compared to regular petroleum jelly, I found this one with 30% Shea Butter to be softer on the skin, it is better absorbed and is less greasy too and works well for me when I am looking for protection against pollution and harsh weather for areas like lips, elbows, heels and feet that are prone to dryness, cracking or chapping.
P.S. – I have also tried the Nick of Time Lavender pure organic Shea Butter and it is wonderfully pampering and caring for my skin. I use it on my hands and feet at night (yes ,even in summers ) and it keeps my tips soft and nourished. They have an exhaustive range of fragrant Shea Butter , do check it out
I rate it a 4/5

Sounds good but too costly (Fore me).
I like Shea butter in skin products. Infant, I am using vaseline with she butter these days for my heels. It keeps my skin soft. I may not find this brand here but will let my sister know about it.
This looks like a perfect combination for extreme dry skin like me. Although not heard of the brand, will go by your review and try it.

I have cracked heels now a days a lot. This seems to be promising from your experience. Love to check out
I have mixed skin… it gets extremely dry in winters n very oily in summers. This product looks perfect though I've not heard about the brand before.
Shea butter is indeed a very good ingredient and I am sure that makes this petroleum jelly all the more good. Will surely check it out and try too.
Petroleum jelly with Sheabutter is a luxurious treatment for the skin. I am checking out this product for my daughter for her chapped lips.
With 70% petroleum jelly this would be my partner for the skin care and with no fragrance I will like it even more. Thanks for introducing with Nick of time to us, will check out the product, hope it is available on e-commerce websites.
This brand is new for me, but I love Shea butter for my skincare.I will surely check this for my daughter and myself!!
Shea butter is a good product and can be used for multiple purposes. This product seems interesting and worth trying.
I love Shea butter products.I would like to try the nick of time products .
Your review was very well balanced indeed.
Will love to try it buddy, I am always intrigued by such awesome products.Thanks for the honest review.
