What is the best way to store this shea butter

I scooped it out and put it in 2 big mason jars and that way, you can warm up water in a pot and put the mason jar in the water to melt the shea butter if needed.

A dry cool place away from heat. Do not put in the fridge. The shelf life is around a year. I put mine where I keep my shortening and such. :)

It's best to store shea butter in a cool dark place away from direct sun and heat. I have mine tucked away in the back of a cupboard. Raw shea butter without any preservatives has a shelf life of 12 - 24 months. If you want to maximize its shelf life, you can always refrigerate.

I have mine stored in the linen closet but you can store the jar in the refrigerator. This brand of shea butter is rather grainey but becomes very liquidy if you place some in a small bowl and put it over another larger bowl of very hot water. It melts beautifully, but it's not to soothing to use if left unmelted. Also, I found this brand to have a "smell" that other brands I have purchased did not. But this is a good value for your money.

I just keep in in my medicine cabinet, but use it often. It has a shelf life of 12 to 24 months. Everything I've read says to store it in a cool dry place. Some sources say not to put it in the refrigerator and others say you should. If you google "storing unrefined shea butter", you will find more information and then decide for yourself. I've never had a problem.

I do not know if it's the best way, but I store mine in a container with a cover.

I store it in the fridge normally in the original bagand it keeps very well. As long as you keep it in an airtight container, cool/cold and dry it should be alright.

Use only on well cleansed skin and Vit C after. Protect your roller. I pour alcohol over it and let it dry without touching counter etc. Then store in its plastic case. RN

When I received it I immediately cut the soap into bar-sized pieces and wrapped them in saran wrap. I store it in a cool, dry place. I break off a chunk and rub it in my hands to create a rich lather, then apply it to my body/face. There are rough pieces in the soap, which is why I do it this way. I've also read that breaking off pieces and putting them in a used shampoo bottle or body wash bottle, and adding water to melt it makes a nice body wash.

In plastic sealed container, and the container wrapped in Saran Wrap. I keep all my butters in a cool dark closet. I have not had any go bad. Using precautions to avoid cross contamination also helps preservation as well. I use clean utensils to take out what I need for any new homemade recipe, and quickly return the remainder of whatever I'm using back to storage. As stated before, I've had no spoilage issues and most of my large bulk order butters last 12-14 months give or take.

Hi Johnny, Store this in a cool dry place and use corn starch or the Cyberskin Renew powder. Do not store this next to other toys or materials like plastics, or similar materials. Lightly wrap it in a soft cloth, dye free is recommended (white) and as far as the where... top of your closet, a large dresser drawer or even a wooden chest etc. Kitchen table not recommended as it might clash with your decor.

I supposeYou could always just cut off the top/bottom (like when you're low on toothpaste) and store in an air right container. Granted I have never used the product or know how strong the bottle is, but it seems like a practical solution.

what is the best way to store? in the past a drop of water in a bag in the fridge would keep it moist to pop better, any other suggestions about best storage re: freshness:-)

I use a small amount of butter. Small amount of oil works well. Dry not so much.

I always melt it a little to soften it, then store it in an air tight glass jar & store it in my refrigerator. It lasts a alot longer.

Your soap should be kept in a cool storage space. My first batch we used saran wrap and then tissue paper.

Personally, I leave it in a soap dish near the kitchen sink so it is always handy. Otherwise store it anyway so it is convenient for you.

I've had mine for six months, opened, but stored in a ziploc bag. It's in good, granular form, I bake with it a lot. I would imagine you could store it indefinitely in the heat sealed foil bag it comes in. I recommend this stuff, it's wonderful.

I put room about 3/4 shea and 1/4 coconut in a jar and use a wood stick (like the kind for making a shish kabob) to stir. When it is mostly mixed, I add a couple drops of essential oil (peppermint and/or lavender). Excellent!

I'm pretty a texture like yogurt should be fine. I have never tried it but I would not hesitate to store it in the container.
