Have you experienced a grittiness in the products (lotion bars, lip balms, etc) when using cocoa butter or shea butter? How do you prevent them?
This is exactly what prompted my question. My lip balms are nice and smooth out of the shop but overtime develop the grittiness. Not a big deal but doesn't look very professional. I am thinking of changing the formula and getting rid of butters.I've had lip balms that were nicely smooth to begin with that got grainy as the balm warmed up and cooled down over time. The product doesn't need to actually melt to get grainy again, just as a bar of chocolate doesn't need to melt to create a white "bloom" on the surface of the bar.
Never had a problem with using shea, or cocoa butter. I only use one oz of each in my recipes and use only organic oils. Perhaps it's the quality of the oils you're using.Have you experienced a grittiness in the products (lotion bars, lip balms, etc) when using cocoa butter or shea butter? How do you prevent them?
