- Store in a cool, dark place: Shea butter is sensitive to light and heat, so it's important to store it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and high temperatures. A pantry or a cupboard in the bathroom are good options.
- Use clean, dry hands or tools: When scooping out shea butter from the container, make sure your hands or any utensils you use are clean and dry. Moisture can introduce bacteria and affect the quality of the butter.
- Avoid water contamination: Water can cause shea butter to spoil quickly. Keep the container tightly sealed and prevent any water from coming into contact with the butter.
- Use a spatula or spoon: Use a clean spatula or spoon to scoop out the desired amount of shea butter. This helps prevent any contamination and ensures the remaining butter stays free from impurities.
- Re-seal the container: re-seal the container tightly. This helps minimize air exposure and prevents the butter from drying out or absorbing unwanted odors.
- Consider portioning: If you have bought a large quantity of shea butter from PYURE, we suggest dividing it into smaller portions for daily use. This reduces the frequency of opening the main container, which can expose the entire supply to air and contaminants.
By following these tips, you can help preserve the quality and longevity of your PYURE shea butter.
