“That Amazing
Stuff”™ Whipped Unrefined Shea Butter is extremely rich and nourishing, USE IT VERY SPARINGLY. For FAST absorption, use only a small amount (pea-size or less) and massage it into your skin. Add more as desired. If the amount initially used seems too greasy, then next time us less. This is a product where LESS is BETTER!
A
Word About Shipping Whipped Shea Butter in HOT Weather
For over 20 years Sunrise Showers
Soap Co. has been dedicated to making 100% natural products that are great for
your skin. Our fluffy “That Amazing
Stuff”™ Whipped Organic Shea Butter
Moisturizers are made with Organic Shea Butter with no synthetic stabilizers
added.
As a result, our Whipped Organic Shea
Butter is susceptible to changes in consistency depending on the outside
temperature. In cold weather it may become
firmer. And in hot weather, much to our
dismay, it may get very soft, or even melt, during shipping. It’s unfortunate, but melting is a natural
reaction to heat and we have no control over the conditions during transit once
your order leaves our dock. Remember,
the jars may be sitting in hot trucks and warehouses, totally beyond our
control, as they go on their journey to your doorstep.
Similar commercially-made products are
formulated to maintain the same consistency over many years and under many
different temperature variations. Many
commercial products contain phthalates to stabilize and maintain the viscosity or
thickness. Cocamide DEA and MEA may be added to thicken, stabilize and emulsify
water-based products. Petroleum-based
oils and waxes may also be added to thicken and stabilize products. These synthetic additives, as well as others,
help maintain the same consistency through extreme variations in temperature.
Our natural Whipped Organic Shea
Butter products do not contain these or any other synthetic additives to
maintain their fluffy consistency. During
hot weather conditions, we do our best to plan shipping so that our products get
to you as fast as possible, trying to avoid shipping delays caused by weekends
and holidays.
The quality and benefits of our
Whipped Organic Shea Butter products are not affected by a change in
consistency caused by heat or cold. If
they do soften up in hot conditions, over a few hours they will firm up again
at room temperature, but may lose some of the fluffiness and be more like a
body balm.
When they are originally whipped,
small air bubbles are incorporated into the product, adding volume and making
it light and fluffy. If it melts, the
air bubbles collapse and the volume decreases, but there is no change in the total
weight. (Note, they are filled and sold
by WEIGHT, not volume.) The jar may look not as full, or take on a
little different appearance, but you can still use it normally and get all the
same beneficial results.
Unfortunately,
this is the tradeoff when using an all-natural product. This explanation is NOT meant to discourage
you from purchasing our Whipped Organic Shea Butters. We continue to ship them year-round to
customers all around the country with no major issues, but we felt it our
obligation to let you, the customer, know what could happen on rare occasions. We appreciate your understanding.
