_Shea Butter should be kept as fresh as possible inorder to _get the best therapeutic qualities for your skin. Keep your _Shea Butter product at room temperature. You don’t want to _leave it at extremely warm temperatures because this can _cause it to go rancid. You should be just fine if you keep it _in your bathroom or bedroom, as long as you keep the lid _tightly closed._You also want to make sure that it comes to you in an _opaque container. This means that the container is _impenetrable by light. Light can break down the Shea _Butter, and degrade the healing properties.
Also, make sure that you keep the container lid on tight. If the Shea Butter is exposed to air for a long period of time, auto-oxidation will occur. This is the chief cause of product break down, and you won’t want to use products that aren’t fresh. Making sure of all of these things will help keep your organic, unrefined Shea Butter fresh and ready for your use. Shea Butter is a truly amazing gift that Mother Nature has given us. Make sure yours stays fresh so it will provide maximum healing for your skin every time you use it.
