Glow tip ✦ Whip it cold — that is the secret to the cloud texture.
Storage ✦ Keeps 2–3 months in a cool, dark spot with a clean dry spoon. It melts above ~24°C — re-chill and re-whip if it does.
Allergy check ✦ Shea is a tree nut — caution with nut allergies. Skip if allergic to coconut.
Safety ✦ Patch-test on your inner wrist first. For external cosmetic use only — not medical advice.
Common questions
Can I use it on my face?
Best kept for the body — coconut oil can clog pores on oily or acne-prone faces.
Why did mine turn grainy?
It cooled too slowly. Melt it again and chill it fast in the fridge before whipping.
