I use pure shea butter. It's great and is not messy at all. Abit waxy at first but dissolves as it warms up, absorbs into the skin eventually. No chemicals (I have detergent allergies so it is definitely not giving me problems) Tried other things but this works the best for me. (it helps that all the bits are nice and moisturized)

problem is I'm not sure where to buy it. I got a huge tub from my bf's mother, and it'll probably last me another year or so. She got it in Ghana. I'm thinking if u live in a town with like... a store specialising in cosmetics for african people? or on the internet.
