I'm making an emulsified body butter that l've made mannnnny times. The recipe is below. When pouring the heated oil phase into the heated water phase, the oil slowly started to clump up. I didn't know what was happening but immediately grabbed my immersion blender and started blending the life out of that stuff. It thickened very quickly and seems ok now (fairly smooth but with some tiny tiny lumps here and there). But I'm worried about what I did wrong and how it may impact the final product in the future. I think my heated water phase wasn't hot enough but welcome your input on how this may eventually end up. Will it separate? Become grainy?? Ever happened to anyone?
