In comparision to the old version, this one is not as thick and creamy.
Well... I suppose "thick and creamy" can be subjective.
My jar of BB Happy Nappy (w/ shea) is thick and buttery. I could compare it to shealoe - and say that my HN is sightly thicker than the shealoe.
I'm still wondering if you got the wrong product in the HN jar. I while back, I read an article about product tampering, in a beauty magazine. Some manufactuers were concerned that some dealers/distributers were adulterating products, to stretch their profits.
If I were you, I'd check into that, before giving up on NH.
