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 80 degrees C about 175F 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.
Not for internal use.
