Why Did My Body Butter Melt? How to Fix Whipped Body Butter

There is nothing quite like opening a fresh jar of whipped body butter, only to find that it has turned into a liquid oil during transit on a hot summer day. While it can be frustrating, melting is actually a sign of a truly high-quality, clean product.

Why does whipped body butter melt in summer heat?

Pure, all-natural whipped body butters melt because they contain zero synthetic stabilizers, wax hardeners, or artificial emulsifiers. Ingredients like raw mango butter and shea butter have natural melting points of around 85°F to 90°F — meaning warm delivery trucks or mailboxes in summer can easily liquefy them.

This is not a defect. It is proof that your Lulu's Holistics whipped body butter is 100% pure and free from the chemical additives found in commercial moisturizers.

How do you fix melted whipped body butter?

When our whipped body butter melts, it reduces to about half its original volume. You can refrigerate it to resolidify, or attempt to re-whip it back to its fluffy texture — and it will work just as beautifully either way.

1. Refrigerate It: Place the closed jar directly into the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes until it solidifies completely.
2. Re-Whip It: Once cooled and semi-solid, use a hand mixer or fork to whip it back to a fluffy consistency. It may not be identical to the original but will still perform beautifully.
3. Use It as a Balm: Even if you skip re-whipping, the denser texture works perfectly — just scoop a small amount and warm it between your palms before applying.

What if my body butter arrived completely melted?

Simply send us a photo of the melted product and we will send you a replacement — no hassle, no questions asked.
