Shea Butter

Posted by admin on Monday, October 26, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

Does anyone know how to permanently liquefy shea butter?

I know that shea butter can become hard when cold and liquid when hot, but I would like to keep it in a liquefied state. Any suggestions?

It would be better for you to get shea oil.

Shea butter like most butters is made up of two components - olein (liquid) and stearin (stearic). This is why some butters easily melt depending on the amount of olein and some solidify under colder temps. depending on the amount of stearic. Shea oil aka shea olein aka sheabutter oil aka liquid shea is obtained when stearin is separated from the butter.
