" When I mixed this body butter with essential oils instead of fragrance why does the oils raise to the top, am I doing something wrong? Sometimes even with fragrance oil there is water or some type of liquid on top too. I follow the directions but the only difference is that I use Mango butter instead of the Tucuma butter and some how this happens often. I love this recipe but I really want to figure how to prevent this problem. Pease help!"

	"I made this twice and only the top part of my lotion "rises" or gets fluffy like a soufflé, but the bottom part is more or a lotion consistency. Am I doing something wrong? 2) I added isopropyl to help with the greasy feel. I followed directions and did it at 2% usage but it still feels greasy after putting it on. Why?"

	"Does this recipe combine both liquid and weight measures. For instance, I am guessing that the water and other liquids are liquid or fluid oz and the butter, wax,and stearic acid are a weight oz. Is that correct. I ask because some recipes on other sites measure all ingredients by weight. Thanks "
