Additive to increase melting point of Shea butter
Hello,
I just joined so I’m new to this forum. I make Shea butter butters with refined Shea butter, grape seed oil and a fragrance or essential oil. My butters do very well in temperatures of 85 degrees or below. In hot environments, they’ll melt back to a liquid state. I have a very promising opportunity to sell my bug repellent Shea butters in Puerto Rico but the samples I sent to my partner down there melted within a day.
My question is: what additive could I use to increase the melting point so the butters can survive high temps? I was told that Lipid Thix, which is basically a powder vegetable oil, would work. Does anyone know of another solution or will this Lipid Thix work?
Thank you - Oliver
