High Melt Point Shea Butter

[Earthchild]

Hello everyone! I'm Mychelle! I'm new to this forum, but have been crafting my own balms, lotions, soaps, etc for about twelve years now. I have a question about www.thesage.com high melt point shea butter. I am really curious to try it - we have crazy hot summers out here, and it's tough to keep my shea lip balms stable. Quick cooling, maintaining high heat - I have tried it all and nothing works in July! Has anyone tried this product? I would love to get some opinions!

I know this is a little old but I have used it- and it works perfectly. I did a balm just to see what would happen- just beeswax and all Shea- then I put it in my pocket for the day and went to the zoo with the kids.

It got a bit soft but no grains at all. I wanted to test without Mango and Cocoa Butter which is why I tested it like this since those butters can fractionate as well though not as easy.

I now use that for my balms and lotion bars- love it.

Thank you for your response! I made a few lip balms with it and am putting them through as many temp changes as I can. So far so good! I'll keep you updated!

Sounds good! Let me know!

Oh, this is very interesting. Did it continue to, not grain ? Sometimes mine will be ok, and then grain after 2 weeks or so.. If this really works, this High Melt Shea is exactly what i've been looking for.:smile:

The HM shea butter is a big advantage in the summertime or in warm areas. Another advantage: no smell!
