Thanks for all the lovely comments! I found out that aloe vera is water soluble therefore a preservative is recommended to stop bacteria growing. You could omit the aloe vera and the body cream is still fantastic! Good luck and enjoy making.
I love u
Great video!!! I love this combination! What I do to prevent the aloe from shortening the shelf life of the butter is that instead of putting it inside the product, I apply it to my skin just before the shea butter... true that makes two applications instead of one, but that way I can keep the shea butter mixture almost indefinitely :)
The Tiny Vegan Life now that’s a perfect solution! Thanks Agnes :-)
What can we use to this recipe to preserve it ?
@@kaylabryson1932 you have to add tsp of vitamin E
Who else feels like the doing something beneficial for the earth just by watching her videos?😂
You’re such an inspiration!
Awh you are very kind to say that! have a happy and relaxing Sunday x
Miriam Goggins yeah, it’s soothing , calming and healing!!! I feel relaxed and in peace hearing her!!! And some people tell me I have this effect on them when I sing and play piano, but it doesn’t work for me!!! 😂😂😂
Giselle Garbe 😂
Fairyland Cottage thank you!!
Did I happen to hit the “like” button before watching the whole video because I already know that it’s going to be an amazing video? Yes, yes I did!
Same here! 😆
Amy Smith you are too kind my dear. :-)
Wish she was MY neighbor!! These videos make me feel nourished and cared for even though she is miles and miles away !! Look forward to each new video!!!💜
Becky Kueng thanks so much!! Sending love to you from Ireland! X
I had such a rough morning. Wish I could just shea butter away my life's problems.
Your video cheered me up.
Lizzzard Breath hope you have a better week my dear x sending you hugs x
I make my own moisturizer pretty much the same way, I use aloe vera gel, rosehip oil and Shea butter 😊
Does it spoil quickly?
Hi ! I wanted to ask how long does it last?
Raw Shea Butter from Africa is the best and works great when I have eczema patches!
You are a truly feminine woman who believes in values of health and wellbeing. You are an inspiration to women AND men. Thank you.
Brooder85 that is a beautiful comment to receive. Thank you xxx
Best chemical-free, home-made and easy on pocket body cream during winter..
I love your voice! The calmness of it along with the smooth jazz music in the background. Oh and I love the recipe of the whipped Shea butter too.
Thank you for sharing your peaceful ,quiet life with us . There are so many distractions ,and demands placed upon our days. I watch your videos to help me remember to breathe .
Thank you so much for all the healthy recipes and I LOVE your Zero Waste approach!!! 💕
Your voice and vibe is so soothing! Thank you 🙏🏻
Brilliant and creative thanks I always look forward to Sunday’s to watch your videos🙏 xx
Her voice so soothing it makes me fall asleep not that you’re boring 😭 is just soothing like I can fall asleep listening to you !!! ❤️
Same haha. I literally put on her videos when I wanna take a nap. Soothes me right to sleep. 🤣✨💙
I loved this thank you so much! Certainly will try this recipe. My fav scent is vanilla and peony
definitely gonna give this a try, love your channel. I'm slowly starting to practice a sustainable and ethical lifestyle. I find your channel so inspiring.
Ok I just had the most calming relaxing therapy session just by listening to her voice and watching this!
I’ve never used Shea butter but this looks like a recipe worth trying. Thank you Niamh. 💕
I'll definitely try this one out! I absolutely love your videos 😍
You're so inspirational 🍁
Thanks for the lovely cream recipe. You are the 🧚♀️ from fairyland cottage
Definitely going to give it a try.
Thanks for posting this video❤️
Niamh...the moment video is over...there is a gentle smile on my face...truly its priceless..indeed you are the reason for...May your days be as wonderful as ur.....
It's lovely watching you make this beautiful nourishing shea butter cream. Thank you Niamh, you always have something inspiring to share. Your voice is so soothing and gentle ❤
Homemade body butters are a staple for me as well. I do a Shea Magnesium butter for the feet as well which has been a game-changer for sleep . Your videos are just beautiful. 🙏🏼
Thank you, as always, Niamh! I've just made mine today, and really happy with the result! The only additional ingredient I used was arrowroot powder (for this amount, 3 tsp), as it cuts through the grease so the butter consistency isn't too greasy.
I love Shea butter! It is so creamy and not as greasy as coconut oil. I’ve recently started using frankincense and myrrh oil not just in my diffusers but as a “perfume”; just a bit on wrist and breastbone. Heavenly!
Your videos are always so relaxing to watch. You have a very soothing voice.
I love the jazzy mood music. So mellow and soothing! :)
thanks! I'd love jazz music on all the videos if I could :-)
I also use a lot of shea buttet when doing my own creams! I love the texture and the richness that bring wit it :-) I am a huge fan of your videos! Congrats and keep doing it, you are such an inspiration!
What a relaxing and enjoyable video. And that shea butter recipe looks amazing!
I make a healing salve with Shea butter and steamed comfrey leaves. Boy does it work well. So soothing.💕
Would love to make this salve would you mind sharing?🙏
That looks amazing, off to make some now, thankyou for such wonderful relaxing videos.
Xx
Made it today. Works beautifully. I have always made my own almond and jojoba body oil, but the creaminess of this is lovely. Thanks. By the way, I had no aloe, so no worries about it being water soluble/needing a preservative.
I have seen so many videos on how to make butter body cream. A lot of them were a bit too much for me to make, but thanks to you, there is an economical and easy way to do it. Never would have thought to doing it that way. Thank you.
ah yes... keep it simple ... even omit the aloe vera... it will be fab and smooth on your skin x
Yes thatˋ s wonderful such a quality one cannot buy in a shop! I made it a few days ago with sheabutter as well, olivebutter and avocado oil and I love it ! Thank you for sharing 💚🌍💚 Katja
This would be a wonderful gift for my mother-in-law :D I have sooooo many empty jars at home and I don't like buying things for Christmas so this was a great idea, thanks! :D
Your videos are so soothing. Thank you 😊
I make a version of this Shea Butter and Coconut oil with different essential oils. Great in summer. I use it on my face too. I heard its about factor 6 protection in the sun so no chemicles, Add in some Zinc Oxide for extra protection
You just solved my gift idea dilemma! 💕
Sending love from Romania!!! ❤❤❤I love all your videos!! ❤❤💞
Can’t wait to try it !! Amazing idea !!!
Body butter is one of my favorite products to make. I like to stick with true body butters ( not containing water or preservatives) instead of the thick lotions that are commonly referred to as “body butters.” My favorite recipe is Shea butter, Mango butter, Avocado oil, Jojoba oil , Vitamin E oil... It took me a long time to come up with my recipe. I don’t have to add any starches or clays to combat the sometimes greasy feeling of body butter. This recipe is naturally non greasy. I really enjoyed ur video. It’s very relaxing and has a good vibe to it. Thank you for making a great video. 👍
This is exactly what I need! Thanks for sharing🌷
Going to have to try this ❤️ I absolutely love your videos, they really put me in the right frame of mind for the day ☺️. Just would like to pass on a tip as you have taught me so much. I only found this out myself whilst studying for an aromatherapy diploma, for the essential oils to not evaporate quickly they have to be kept in a dark glass jar. If the glass is clear then all those beneficial, expensive oils will evaporate within days. Please keep making more videos 🙏 xxx
I love shea butter and thank you for shown us how to make your creamy shea butter
The recipe and explanation is so simple and clear. I would like to tried it and give my friends. Thanks
Perfect timing with the Shea butter recipe. I won’t buy body butter from where I used to due to a msg put out by the brand & was not sure where to get more. How silly to think I needed to find a new brand, plus I like a certain scent (usually vanilla bean) & if I make my own I can have any scent I want! Thx again!
I really needed this was looking for a recipe! Thank you
Simply beautiful, I also create my own night cream in this way!
Great video for a simple recipe for natural skincare. Thanks so much.
I'm so grateful I have found your channel 🙏
Can’t wait to try making this!
Just what I needed! Thank you!
I used the original recipe before I read your comment below and made a large batch as gifts for my colleagues. I will alert them to keep the cream in a cool place and to be sure to use with clean hands to minimize those pesky little bugs from getting in! I have been using this hand cream for a couple of weeks now and love that it has kept my hands from cracking in the drier winter air. I make all my own soap as well, so this is a welcome addition to my home made skin care. Next batch I will include some grapefruit oil or vitamin E oil as a preservative. Thanks for this lovely recipe!
It actually doesn't go mouldy on me so I'd say yours will be fine because there is so little aloe vera...
but in the future the vitE or gse would be great or just omit the aloe vera..
delighted you are liking it! I love it for the winter season!
Thank you for sharing. Love Shea butter. I will try it ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Niamh, great video as usual! I make my own body cream too, but I use coconut oil together with shea butter or sesam oil to give a more particular smell and texture, and usually put drops of lavender essential oil, or a mix of cinnamon and orange essential oils if I make it in winter. I love making my own toiletries at home, it gives me such a peace and sense of care for the environment as it's zero waste and 100% organic! Love from Italy! ❤
sounds wonderful your way! x
Thanks my lovely fairy! 🌼
Yes, it's that time of the year 😊 My daughter and I made some whipped body butter last night!! and next time we'll definitely have to add aloe vera 💕
Marita Rodriquez ah nice!! I found out aloe vera is water soluble so can cause bacteria. You already have the perfect recipe I’m sure!
Your voice is amazing and calming
Lovely video. Relaxing jazz background x
I always made this for myself... Instead of almond oil I use coconut oil.. But I never put aloevera... Next time I definitely try it... 🤗
I like shea butter, I will have to try this recipe thank you.
I’ve been kinder to myself just from watching your videos. I can’t thank you enough 💐🙏
Ah well done for making the decision to be kinder to yourself... it will show in every area of your life... well done you x
Fairyland Cottage thanks for your reply, what a delight to get your message. You definitely started something on the well-being front here. Now I’m doing Parkrun, eating spinach and taking naps 😁 (not kidding!) family think I’ve been abducted by aliens and replaced by someone more relaxed and healthier. You’re a genius 💐
Eliza Bradley hahaha! You’re the genius! An inspiration to everyone. Well done. Spinach and naps is a super power!
Love Shea butter. I have allergies and Shea butter never causes a problem.
Thank you for this wonderful video❤. I will make the cream too... god bless you🍀. Greatings from Eastfrisia
WOW..just what I needed early Sunday morning.....Shea Butter body cream......homemade.....I don't like Almond oil so i will substitute Olive Oil for my little cup of wonder. Thank you so much.
Fast and simple 🥰🥰love it
Such a beautiful way to start a great Monday Morning. So grounding.
ah wonderful to hear! hope you had a great week!
Hi.
I just made the body butter..
Feels fantastic...n so simple.
Thank u very much
Shea butter is my favourite for skin!! 💓
I appreciate your videos so much! In the winter I use a rose oil to keep my face moisturised I'll have to try this recipe for the rest of my skin.
Kat Roberts I love using rose oil for my face too❣️❤️😊
What a wonderful idea!
its so luscious!
Sending love from India❤❤
Very relaxing to watch.
As always, so warm cozy and inviting. I feel as if I could be sitting with you having tea! By the way, we made it to Washington! What a drive! Beautiful scenery, lush green..mountains..my goodness I love it. In our rental and will start house hunting after the New Year. For now, settling in and rest. 😊
I have an amazing body butter a friend made for me..all natural too, guava fig scent. It is amazing!
Lseverett5 well done! Delighted you reached your new home safe and sound. Blessings on your new place and chapter in life. X
I don't know how I missed this video before Niamh. I also love and make shea butter moisturiser. In my next batch I am going to make your recipe. Yes I know about adding vitamin E. I also make my own soap so always use it in that. I have aloe vera growing by my back door and it is lovely added to soap as well. 🐾🦋
What a beautiful, wonderfully well crafted video ! You put a lot of love into these, I feel it....*Thankyou!*
I shall get the carrier oils and get started with this delicious body cream recipe :)
I live in Nigeria for work and I’ve been doing a very similar whipped body butter for years: not only Shea butter and coconut oil are easily found and totally natural here, is also so much cheaper than the few available imported options. I normally add rose hip or jojoba oil too (depends on what I manage to bring from my holiday trips 😁) and is a total salvation during dry season. Thank you so much for your videos, they are always so beautifully filmed and interesting ❤️
Alla Smyslova ah wonderful!! You’re lucky to have such great resources around you.
I'd love to make this but the ingredients are unbelievably expensive in Turkey. It's so therapeutic to watch you, though 💜
gosh noooo! so sorry to hear that :-( Glad you found the video soothing anyway xxx
Skjaldmø same here it’s hard to buy Shea butter in Romania:(
Your videos make me happy 💕
🍃Looking forward to making this🍃
Hi I love your videos. When i make mine I use a hand mixer. It makes a more whipped body butter or lighter butter. Because i have more oily skin and do not like the heavy or more oily feel. Toward the end of mixing i add in arrowroot powder. It helps give you the silky feel not so oily. You could also use tapioca powder. Thank you for always sharing yourself with us.
I love it! Kisses from Spain❤️
Wow ! The feel of the video is so good :)
U are just fantastic....I loved the video....and I am gonna make it
I love cocoa butter & anything with aloe, especially if my skin is rashy. Oddly enough, I don't use jojoba oil a lot, it has a tendency to break me out. I do love almond oil. :-)
Gillian Therese ah I see. Yes jojoba oil is a bit thicker so not for everyone.
Love this!!
I am going to try this, for some reason commercial brands (B&BW) dry my skin out even more
Not sure if it was mentioned already in the comments (didn't see) but citrus EO's make the skin photosensitive, so it's good to be aware and either not use 24 hours before spending a lot of time in the sun or to wear extra protection. That would include Angelica, Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime, Orange, Wild Orange, and Tangerine
I'm happy I found your channel..
Tonight I will prepare this simple wonderful sheabutter recipt.......I'm sure my skin will be happy as well..
Thankyou 💜
Im happy you found too!
Lovely recipe will try sure 😍
This is sweet! Do you DIY for face moisturizer too?
Connie E I just use oil but I’ll make some night oil for winter in a few weeks if that helps
I made this today for my friends and I! Amazing thank you so much 🥳💕
Leigh North lucky friends you have!
Did natural alovera blend easily??
Do you have any videos to show how to maintain that slowness and peace while prepping for house guests for the upcoming holidays ? What are some ways to give guests a spirit of welcome, and the feeling of refuge / refreshment while being in your home ? It's hard to not feel pressured to place unrealistic expectations on myself to be perfect , do more , be more .. . at this time of year . Especially with all the lovely ,perfect Pinterest pictures !
Loved that combination of essential oils you had lined up! One question regarding the body cream - how long does it last? And would adding vitamin E prolong its life? Love from NZ ♥️
M C adding vitE is a great idea. Omit aloe vera as it will last longer... couple of months at room temperature.
Nice to hear your voice Niamh!
Your voice is so soothing
What a great recipe!
thanks... there is nothing like shea butter!
Hi Niamh! I have the ingredients on board and will give this a try today. I was curious if the cream stays soft once mixed or does it harden. I have tried other body butters and am looking for one that stays fairly soft. Thanks again for your inspiration! Have a great week, my friend! Cheers :)
