I’m not sure if I am doing the right thing post heating on the Shea Butter. Melting to 70c, taking off heat, stirring in oils and lecithin. In a cold water bath. Trying to avoid fridge time to be able to scale this to larger batches in the future. Is this correct?

Thank you! And they can both be used in an anhydrous cream without the need for a preservative?

On a product I just bought and have been using at home, that has pretty much every ingredient I’ve been testing with but has lecithin and glycerine added and I can’t work out why. Can you provide any guidance? @Belassi
