Teach Soap

I made a Whipped Body Butter using exactly the soap queen recipe. However, after 24 hours, I found a liquid at the bottom of my jar. Picture below.

What could have happened? Did I over whipped or under whipped. Appreciate any help from all of you.

is it warm in your house, could the coconut oil have melted?

Not sure what to consider warm. It's about 29C during the day and 26C at nite. And I didn't use coconut oil. It's just butter, meadow foam oil and oil based extract.

Or is whipped body Butter just simply not meant for Tropical countries? Then I'm upset. =(

I'm not sure about yours, but I live in the hot desert. I no longer make body butters as they melt in the heat. What was the oil based extract?

I used the Green tea extract from brambleberry.
I simply love the texture of whipped body Butter and to think that I cannot do it due to living here is frustrating.

Uhh... 29*C is VERY warm! General "room temperature" is 20*C. (That's 84.2*F)

Coconut oil, for example, generally starts to melt at 76*F, or 24.4*C. So even at your "cool" temperatures it would melt.

What type of butter did you use?

I used avocado butter and a bit of cocoa butter . I lived in a tropical country.

Avocado butter has a melting point is 38-40 C unless it's made with hydrogenated vegetable oil that melts at a lower temperature.

I've tried leaving the avocado butter for 24 hours at room temperature and it stays solid. Do u think if I increase the cocoa butter it would improve since cocoa is harder?
