This recipe absolutely does not work. The Shae butter solidifies once cooled in the bottle.
Hi Brittney,
If the shea butter is solidifying, try using coconut butter instead. Sometimes, both of the butters will harden if they’re stored in a cooler place, so I would suggest you store it somewhere warm, such as in the bathroom.
