Red Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 OMG grrrrr....I am going crazy. I have some shea that I got from Columbus foods. It is refined but due to the hot weather when it shipped, it is super grainy! I tempered it to 150 for 20 mins and then cooled it off quickly in the freezer. It is great for a few days but as soon as it even gets a little warm, the grans come back!! I hate it! I was using WSP shea butter and never had to deal with this but I can't afford $9.00 for a pound anymore..Can anyone help? PLEASE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 Where does everyone else get their shea butter from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousBoutique Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I get mine from MMS, thesage.com - but I'm local so I dont pay shipping. Never had an issue with their shea and its 100* here and has been around 80-90 in my work room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caryfh Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I got some unrefined from Columbus foods, and even with a little graininess initially, once I process it into my shea butter, no issues, and my last batch has been curing for a few days and still looks creamy and smooth. Have you tried just letting it cool slowly instead of trying to flash freeze it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psfponies Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I get mine from essentialoils4less.com its $4.99 lb. So far I have had not problems with it being grainy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
