It is important that you keep your shea butter in a cool area out of direct sunlight and dark of possible. The shelf life is about 12 to 24 months without adding preservatives. I hope this helps

I store mine in a plastic bag in a cupboard. It's been kept that way from several months with no problems.

It's best stored in a cool dry space. I keep mine sealed in a thick freezer ziplock bag.

In a cold area. If the area is too warm the Shea butter will melt I store mine under my sink or in my closet in a plastic ziplock bag and when I'm ready to use it I scoop enough out to last a week or two.

Start with making sure the butter keeper is clean of oil. Then soften the butter enough to be able to press it into the top tightly. If you just kinda set the butter in there without pressing all the air out, you don't get a good "seal" Don't try to put too much in there either. Usually one stick is enough. Hope this helps. Also, if your keeper is too warm where you keep it, the weight of the softening butter will cause it to fall out. It doesn't need a lot of water in the bottom either. You just want to keep it cool enough to spread easily. Hope this helps.

I supposeYou could always just cut off the top/bottom (like when you're low on toothpaste) and store in an air right container. Granted I have never used the product or know how strong the bottle is, but it seems like a practical solution.

Hi Johnny, Store this in a cool dry place and use corn starch or the Cyberskin Renew powder. Do not store this next to other toys or materials like plastics, or similar materials. Lightly wrap it in a soft cloth, dye free is recommended (white) and as far as the where... top of your closet, a large dresser drawer or even a wooden chest etc. Kitchen table not recommended as it might clash with your decor.

No, as long as you keep the Shea butter in a dark cabinet it should be fine. Putting it in the fridge would make it really hard.

It lasts for a fairly long time. I've heard that some people refrigerate it but I don't and I've never had any problems with it. I actually ordered a pound of shea butter months ago, I'm only now just having the opportunity to use it and it's still just as fresh as when I first purchased it. And this comes from someone who uses this product daily. I highly recommend this seller as their shea butter is of higher quality than others that I've purchased in the past. I'd also recommend that you purchase ivory shea butter as opposed to the yellow one.

The directions call for it to be stored in a cool dry place. I do keep mine in the refrigerator.

I store mine in a full quart Mason jar. It stays fresh and dry. Great product!

Probably a bar recipe. My recipe has Shea butter, unfractionated coconut oil and bees wax which are solids at room temp. Thus these are liquid when melted, pour into containers and then solidify at room temp.

It is powder coated so that will help, but I would store it when possible. It is nice and light and folds do storage is easy.

I tried storing it out in the open, and wrapped in a paper towel inside a ziplock in the fridge. The one in the fridge stays fresher longer, but goes soft very quickly once removed. So I store the smaller pieces in the fridge for later use, and leave the larger pieces in a paper bag or a bowl and use those first.

There are various ways to use this. It depends on what you are using it for. As a moisturizer, I just rub it between my hands until it melts and I apply it to lock in the moisture especially after showering. For hair, I have heard it is better to use it in conjunction with other oils as Shea butter does not moisturize but holds in the moisture. So at least mist the hair and apply other oils such as coconut, extra virgin olive oil (evoo) and jojoba or a combination of this oils plus some melted Shea butter. Then style the hair (twist, braid, etc.). Let it set for at least 5 hours, preferably overnight night or as long as possibly. When ready undo the style and the definition should be immaculate. There is homemade hair butter/ crme recipe on YouTube which I plan to try one day soon because it gets every high reviews and recommendations. Google it! I hope this information helps you.

No, there is no storage place for the cord. I just wrap it around the body and sort of scooch it up under the handle.

Yes.. I scoop a little out and put it in a smaller container so it would be easier to soften. I use the Shea butter on my face. I am so pleased with this product.

I store my oil-based dressing in a cabinet. Oil based dressings don't need to be stored in the fridge, unless you put some dairy in them.
