ksranch Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 so all of sudden, my body butter won't "set up"!! arrgghh!! my recipe hasn't changed, I haven't changed suppliers for ingredients, the environment hasn't changed - my shop has heat/air so... I don't get it!! Any suggestions??? If when I melt the butters down, if I get it too hot - will it affect it going back to semi solid? I can't figure it and I've made like 3 batches with same problem!! Only thing is I did get into a new 'shipment' of Shea butter...but it's the same supplier.... help????

ksranch Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 just following up on this in case someone runs into the issue in the future and is searching for help... it was the butter. I got in the new order and made a batch and it worked perfectly again. no idea what is 'wrong' with batch that wasn't working... but at least I know what the problem was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was the butter "defective"?Never happened to me (yet!), but thank you for sharing :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksranch Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 I don't really know. The supplier in this case has sent me mislabeled items twice before, but I "caught" it before use. If this is a different type of butter, I cant tell... So now other bad part is I don't want to use the remaining 3 1/2 lbs of it in anything because it might really be something else and thus my product wouldn't be properly labeled.
