Application / Usage

In cream and lotionmaking, add to oil phase. Melts between 32-46C. Soft at room temp. To prevent grainy texture, heat slowly in a double boiler; if combining with other butters or waxes, add higher melting-point ingredients first. Cool slowly.

In cleanup, wipe excess from bowls and tools with paper towel to prevent damage to sinks and pipes.
