Our Organic Shea Butter is naturally refined (no chemicals or high T used) and is nearly white without any discernible scent. It is solid at room temperature but not hard. **Please Note:** Shea Butter may cause graininess in a product. A natural occurrence if it does happen, we recommend that the Shea Butter be tempered before using to achieve a smooth texture and consistency. Heat it until liquefied, mix thoroughly, allow to cool, then store in cool temperatures. **Recommended Usage:** Lotions & Creams: 2 - 20 % Balms: 5 – 100 % Bar Soaps: 5 - 20 % Hair Conditioners: 1 – 10 % When adding butters to creams and lotions, it might be necessary to gently warm them until the texture is soft enough to be incorporated into the final product. The melting point can range from 32°C to 35°C. Using a hand blender, create a vortex with your cream or lotion and drizzle your melted butter to fully incorporate. For addition in soaps, the general rule of thumb is 1 tablespoon per pound. As with most raw materials, results may vary, so we strongly recommend small, lab scale batches prior to any commercial manufacturing. **Shelf Life:** This butter should be stored in a cool dark place and has a shelf-life of 1 year when stored properly.
