Home Cosmetic Science Talk Formulating Shea Butter Lip Balm

  • Shea Butter Lip Balm

    Posted by marek.barnas on September 7, 2018 at 9:38 pm

    I have a lip balm that we make and at first it was fine but then found small crystals forming in the balm after a few weeks, the balm has a high content of shea butter, realising it was the shea that was causing the crystals we started to using a HMP shea. The crystals have now gone but the balm is much harder. And I am not sure how to make it softer.

    HMP Shea? What is that? Shea from Her Majesty’s Prison?
