ruba Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Ok I am totally flustered, I KNOW that I printed a breakdown of the common butters and their melting temps:mad: Now that I need it I cannot find it and have searched with pages and pages of posts/threads with no luck. I am hoping that one of you wonderful people have it or know where I can find this info all in one place:D TIA I realy appreciate it.

Christine Flapp Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I melt them in the sun when possible, if not, I use a double boiler. I never melt shea directly over heat. I use a separate cup which I put in hot water until it softens. I never use a micro for shea because it destroys the healing properties notwithstanding what anyone else tells you. My info is from the Shea Butter Institute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Don't know about a chart, but you can usually get it off the MSDS - and there are plenty of these online for butters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruba Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Thanks gals for the suggestions... I will have no problem during the summer letting the shea melt outside LOL. I will check out the MSDS sheets. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
