I have used two different recipes for whipped body butters and they are just too airy. Does anyone have a recipe that has a little more weight to it?
Here is one of the recipies I have used 3oz shae butter, 1oz mango butter, 2oz hemp, 2oz jojoba oil and 1/2 tbl glycerin which i used once the mixer was almost finished.

You can gently warm it up to reduce the volume. Be aware that the glycerin will seep out over time as it's only water soluble.

I will keep that in mind about the glycerin. But the butter is still to light it has no weight to it. It is almost like air. I think it should have more substance to it.

this is just my humble opinion but if you just make body butter and don't whip it it won't be so light.
