Thank you for your enquiry.

“Adding more Honey Moisturiser would just be wasting your money as it is already in the recipe at 5%. It has no extra effect when used higher.
To make it more lotion-like, reduce the Emulsifying Wax to 4%, the Shea Butter to 1.5% and the Argan Oil to 6.5%.
Make up the difference to 100% with the water.
We have not tested this so cannot say if it will be stable – it is something you would need to try for yourself."
