Tips on working with shea butter in formulations
Shea butter contains various fatty acids which each have a specific temperature range where they melt and solidify. When the butter is melted and heat is unevenly distributed some fatty acids may solidify quicker than others, resulting in a grainy texture. Sometimes these grains take days, weeks or even months to appear. There is nothing wrong with the butter if it is grainy, but most prefer a smooth, buttery texture.
To prevent graininess and grain formation you will need to make sure that heat is evenly distributed during the cool down process. This is best achieved by constantly stirring the melted butter during cool down. Unfortunately simply pouring melted shea butter into jars and leaving to cool at room temperature without evenly distributing the heat will likely result in grains. So rather gently stir your melted butter while it cools for best results.

And a great product at a great price
I've been looking for Shea butter and I'm glad I purchased it from you.
My daughter and I are enjoying everything about it from the texture to the smell.
I should have reviewed my previous order, but just had no time as I started a new natural soap making business. I just had to thank you after my second order. Both were so easy to do and this Shea butter and all the other goodies I ordered are of the best quality. You have really made this new journey very pleasant and I’m truly great full for the quick and easy order and delivery. I’m ordering my third lot tomorrow! Can’t wait xxx
I cannot recommend this product enough. It is rich, smooth and melts in my skin. This is an essential product indeed.
