I don’t have my own tips but I did want to say that I tried the trace method you mentioned here and in other videos when I made your Eucalyptus & Mint Foot Butter and it is just so luxurious and smooth as silk!!! Once I get up the courage to make other butters, I will try it every time :)

I bought an 8 oz tub of refined shea butter from Sulu that I really liked. It was smooth and easy to appy at room temperature. I then bought a 3 lb tub from Sulu but it was gritty. So I used your directions to heat and cool it. The grittiness was gone, but now the butter is much harder and I have to scratch the surface to get "shavings" that I can apply. And it now seems much greasier than the orgiginal product or the grainy product before remelting. What caused these changes in its qualities? Thanks, Doug

Thanks for the tips! I have some tattoo butter that is (you said it!) a mix of mango and shea butter with some other stuff. My first tub of it was beautiful. It was smooth and creamy, even though it did go totally liquid after being in the car heat during the summer. I didn't do anything special to cool it, it just solidified smooth. Second two tubs arrived grainy and nasty. They look just like your forced grainy batch. It melts when rubbed in and seems to be okay, but it's just not a nice skin feel.

@@sylviayakubu6575 I did some research and found that it was because of the high percentage of butters that I used. They reccomend that you keep butters under 10% in balms. My balm had about 40% butters. So I reformulated and reduced the amount of butters and increased my oils and now it doesnt go grainy.

I love your channel so simple to follow but packed with good information. I had a question, I'm about to embark on my first whipped shea butter. I want to use your 4 ingredient recipe. I want to use both Shea butter and Mango butter but the mango butter I ordered online is grainy. Should I melt it first on its own then add it to the Shea butter after both have melted or can I just measure them out and melt them both together. How do you deal with grainy mango butter before you have already started the heating phase?

It depends on why it's grainy; if the sandy texture is coming from colloidal oatmeal, re-melting won't help. If it's coming from the butters, it will.

I used shea and cocoa butter, beeswax w/vit e oil and a little coconut oil. At first it was perfect. So moisturizing, blissfully smooth but almost 2 weeks later it turned a little grainy. Uuuggg. It is winter here so not to hot but after pouring I did not refrigerate either, I just let it cool naturally. I wonder if I refridgerste after if it will make a difference? So disappointed. But now it's in the tubes. It's about a 12 tube recipe but I am not sure if can get it back out and try to reheat or if can get a trace and still get it poured in time. So upsetting. I was going to give for Christmas gifts but that's tomorrow so that's out. Even after all the you tube videos, I watched not once did anyone mention the possibility of graininess happening. I am on such a tight budget so I am just wanting to save what I created. :( as cannot rebuy tubes etc. I am not comfortable giving out grainy lip balm. 12 tubes to much fif me to use Any ideas on best way to approach this anyone? Things can use around the house? Has anyone had this problem and able to correct?

@ChristinaEdwards I've never worked with that butter but you can melt a small amount like a teaspoon size. Try to stir it & see the texture as it cools. It may just be how the company processed it or the different temperatures it went through during shipment. Don't give up on it.
