For my next DIY beauty project, I am planning to concoct my own body butter. In order for me to do that, I will be needing a key ingredient – shea butter. Finding affordable and high quality raw shea butter suppliers in the Philippines is quite a challenge. Luckily, I found Shea Butter Philippines. They offer raw, pure, unrefined shea butter in the following sizes:
- 50g for 189
- 100g for 299
- 500g for 999
I
decided to buy the smallest size from their online shop and received my order
after a day (very fast transaction). I also sent them an email asking about the
expiration of their product (because there is no expiry stamp on the product
package) and they immediately replied to my inquiry saying that their shea
butter will last for a year.
Shea
Butter Philippines' raw and unrefined shea butter has a nutty scent and
grainy texture. I read that it's only normal for shea butter to have grainy
texture. Shea butter (and other vegetable butters like cocoa and mango butters)
can become grainy when it partially melts and re-cools slowly causing it to
crystallize. Fortunately, the crystallization does not change the good benefits
of shea butter. However, grainy texture makes it hard to spread the shea butter
on our skin. If you want a smoother texture, then you can temper the shea
butter by melting it on a double boiler and quickly cool it on the
refrigerator. Here is a video on
how to do it.
Again, if you need affordable and high quality shea butter
