Glad you found it helpful, Vathani

Hi Melissa, I’ve just made the eczema blend with shea butter, does it stay liquid or become more creamy? Thanks again I will also make the chest balm for Millie to reduce her cough xx
Tori Wilckens it becomes more solid again but seems to spread better with the oils in it than just the shea butter itself. I found it took a while to solidify again.
