    @dtang I double boiled Shea butter plus alpha arbutin for about 15 minutes, stirred and cupped and it solidified back and I started using and I noticed the reaction

    Are you sure that alpha arbutin isn’t sensitive to high temperature? Most of actives are. Unrefined butter has worse spreadability and less stable.

    I always use mango butter.  Reason being is because it is less greasy than most butters.  Especially when you use refined mango butter!  I never get any crystallization when making beard balms!

    Shea Butter has higher % oleic than linoleic. It is not good for acne prone skin. It is good for dry skin
