How to Melt Shea Butter
Improper heating of shea butter can cause the butter
to crystallize as it cools which can cause lip balms, body butters and
other formulations to turn gritty upon sitting. In order to avoid this,
shea butter must be melted and heated to about 175 degrees and kept at
that temperature for at least 20 minutes. This will allow the butter to
melt completely so that crystals will not form once cooled.
