Whipped Body or Lip Frosting Recipe

Here is a recipe that can be either a whipped body butter or lip frosting recipe and it is from Saffire Blue.   Though I could consider this recipe is more of a cream since it contains water and what I learned from all of the classes I have taken through The Nova Studio is that a body butter does not contain water.  If it has water as an ingredient then it is a cream.  But I digress, it still looks like a great recipe to try.
