Quick Info/Tip:
Natural butters like Shea or Mango have a natural tendency to turn in to a grainy texture. This does NOT mean the butter has gone bad or turned rancid. When a butter, such as Shea or Mango, is heated, the fatty acids separate from one another. Then if it cools slowly, these fractions stay separate causing the butter to go grainy. (This can happen during shipping in warm weather). Gently melting the butter while stirring, and then rapid cooling or freezing may help to reduce/remove graininess.

Shea butter is sold in 1lb and 7lb containers. Please contact us for other amounts and bulk orders.
