I made a body butter yesterday and it whipped up nicely, but when I put it in the jar it is too firm. It still feels nice on my skin, but I wanted it to be a little airy or lighter. Here's my recipe:
.795 oz. tallow
.25 oz. cocoa butter
.965 oz. shea butter
.665 oz. calendula infused olive oil
1/2 tsp. vitamin E
Essential oils
After I melted the butters, I added the oil. Then, I placed it in the refrigerator to get a little firm. Then I whipped it with beaters and placed it in the jar.
Does anyone see anything I could change in ingredients or the process to make the butter less stiff and firm?
Also, does anyone have a website recommendation that uses weight for their ingredients?
Thanks!
