Question
What is the difference in efficacy between `Shea Butter Water Soluble` and `Shea Butter Certified Organic` at the same quantity? If replacing `Shea Butter Certified Organic` with `Shea Butter Water Soluble` to reduce stickiness and improve texture, what is the recommended adjustment for the usage percentage?
Answer
Water-soluble shea butter has lower efficacy compared to regular shea butter at the same quantity. This is because its structure is modified to be water-soluble. If you are replacing regular shea butter with the water-soluble version to reduce stickiness and improve the formula's texture, it is recommended to use a higher proportion of the water-soluble shea butter than you would the regular shea butter.
