Guest guest Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 I heard that heating to around 175 and holding for a while gets rid of the graininess. The Shea butter may have been the cause, but it cant hurt to heat it all together. HTH Fire, Water, & Body Essentials Bessemer, Al www.candlesbyshannon.com Grainy creams. Hi, I made a cocoa butter and shea body salve that came out very grainy. I also use almond oil, apricot oil and beeswax. Sometimes my massage creams do it too. Does anyone know what is causing this? Could it be the beeswax?

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Hello, I have learned that if you quick freeze or cool, shea butter will not get that grainy feel. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 What's shea butter and what does it do to your skin? I'm a big fan of different lotions and shower gels. I've been mainly buying this stuff from myself.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Thank you all for the feedback on grainy creams. I will be making a batch today and will keep your suggestions in mind. I will heat up all my oils before adding the beeswax. As for the shea butter hand salves, it sounds like I overheated the shea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 I wouldn't mind trying a grainy cream. There's this stuff Avon has called Plannet Spa which might be a grainy cream. That stuff smells good too. Jessika From: buddhablends [mailto: buddhablends@...]To: @...: Sun, 21 Nov 2004 13:08:01 -0000Subject: Re: Grainy creams.Thank you all for the feedback on grainy creams.
