This product can be warmed to a max of 122F if you choose to add butters, though. A double boiler is recommended to prevent burning. Since the product is really thick, constant stirring would be needed to evenly distribute the heat. The color and consistency will change from white creamy to opaque/hazy thick gel and it could take a from a couple hours to a few days to go back to the creamy white consistency (if at all, depending on what was added). The addition of any ingredients will change the final product and testing in small batches is recommended.
