A: Nope :-) "Graininess" in Shea butter is common. Shea must be heated and cooled in a very controlled process to avoid denser bits from forming. It does not indicate poor quality. It is actually a sign of quality and purity, evidence a product has not been boiled, and does not contain chemical emulsifiers and stabilizers just to halt a harmless beading reaction to fluctuating temperatures. Try holding your cream against your skin for a couple seconds before rubbing it around to allow the 'grains' to melt at body temperature. Do you know about alcohols & minerals?
ALCOHOL -- Ethyl Alcohol, 190-proof, organic
Why High-Octane Alcohol (not vodka, brandy, or wine)? It lacks flavor, color, and odor and has the least amount of water. A little water is necessary in the making of tincture, as some constituents are water soluble alone; this way you get ALL that the herb has to offer. Neutral grain spirits like EverClear (a brand many know) come in 151-proof (75.5% alcohol / 24.5% water) and 190-proof (95.6% alcohol / 4.4% water). But EverClear is made from non-organic grain, so I have been using 190-proof Extractohol brand organic spirits since 2016. MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE (MgCl2) - is an essential mineral needed by every cell (in every body), playing a major role in the production of energy (ATP), pain relief, cardiovascular health, balancing calcium and other minerals, and proper function of cell membranes. Magnesium deficiencies may be responsible for more dis-ease than any other nutrient. It is poorly absorbed orally. TransDermal MgCl2 - bypasses the liver and digestive tract, making the magnesium ions more bio-available without uncomfortable side-effects, such as diarrhea. Magnesium Chloride is more readily used by the body than Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom Salts), and is is safely absorbed through the body's largest organ, rapidly making a therapeutic level of magnesium available not just to skin but to the entire body as it is metabolized. You cannot get too much magnesium through the skin--the body self-regulates and will only absorb what it needs. Some people may experience tingling, itching, or stinging as they get used to using MgCl2 topically--this is normal and short-lived and not harmful. Now you know :-)
