I just started my business on instagram and I only have gotten one order so far which im extremely thankful for and she said she loved it but i’m hoping to have more orders in the future!
Jessica, I tried your recipe and omg omg, I'm in love with your recipe. Its absolutely amazing. I love how it how it feels on my skin and non greasy. I give this a A++++. thank you for sharing this recipe, This is the best body butter I have ever made, thanks to you. May God continue to bless you girl.
I am a business owner and the sole formulator of my natural skincare business. I have wonderful recipes, but this one is great! Thank you so much for sharing :)
Since your a formulator, just curious why use an emulsifier if your not using water. Wouldn’t stearic acid be better. It has a much higher melting point and it’s a stabilizer. It’s an emollient and a lubricant.
Jessica, this was awesome. I’ve been making my own lotion for personal use for over a year and never thought about adding an emulsifier, you are a god send. I can’t wait to try it, thank you thank you for inspiring me. Also you explanation of the products and their benefits are A++++.
Lol so dope , I just made something like this not too long ago and chose butters off the top of my head and it’s the exact same butters as this video so that makes me feel good 😂😭. It turned out really well so those butters truly pair well together EDIT: and I’ve also used arrowroot but please understand it can also make your body butter leave a powdery feeling it’s luxurious yes but if you add to much it can make your body butter feel more powdery
Thank you for sharing your recipe. As you grow and share what you do teaching your audience how to make these body and room sprays grows your audience offer that they can buy ready made from you or make themselves and wholesale the containers and ingredientwhich can grow into a business of its own. You can make a recipe book and sell that to help others get started with their own business and buy all they need from you. I love to see how you make things your videos are great! But I would prefer to just buy it and would buy from you seeing how you are making this. Also your video on product photography was really good. You can approach restaurants in your area and offer to take their menu dishes pictures for them. Have a rate for digital and one for prints. I’m in the food industry and covid hit hard. Many smaller independent restaurants had to get creative - offer to take pictures for their website for their menu or to create a to go menu or menu in general. Go look at how they are marketing on their menu and website and tailor your presentation to that customers need with your photography. Specially for the internet which so many did not have a presence in. Who’s you the best snd many Blessings.
I love this video! Thank you so much!! I can’t wait to test this formula out. Can I replace the aloe Vera extract for aloe Vera oil? The aloe Vera extract says it’s water soluble.
Hello and thank you for such an amazing tutorial. I’m new at the art of making body butter and am having a problem with the conversion from % to ounces which is what I prefer to work with. Help would be greatly appreciated. I tried moving the decimal 2 spaces to the left but this leaves me with a very little amount of product to develop into one container of body butter… I need help.
Take your total ounces and multiply by the %. For example, if your total batch size is 16 ounces, multiply 16 x .15 = 2.4 ounces of shea butter; 16 x .30 = 4.8 ounces of kokum butter; 16 x .05 = 0.8 ounces mango butter; etc.
Hi ! I never knew you could use an emulsifying wax in a body butter that doesn't contain water. Is your only reason for using it to help keep the butter from melting in hot summer months?
Hello, this is really great. Where did you get the white container from ? Could you make a video about luxury looking containers too and where to find them♡♡♡
Love your videos...very informative. Can't wait to try this recipe, since I always have issues with my skin from using store bought body butter. BTW, do you know what license is needed if you sell lotions bars or creams in FL ? Thanks.
You’ll need to get registered and have a stand alone facility and an inspection from the state. It costs over $1000 + yearly inspections. It’s easier to out source your recipe, have someone else make it for you in a different state, and you sell it (which is what I’ll be doing) until I get my own studio.
It is possible to create a body butter WITHOUT preservatives as long as you don’t add water to it since over time, it causes rancidity. A body butter with purely oils and butters with arrowroot powder is called an Anhydrous Formulation which means it has NO water. If you don’t have water in it, you don’t need a preservative. Depending on the percentage ratios of the butters to oils will depend on how thick, dense, light and fluffy it is. I like mine to be denser but still with a bit of airy texture to it (kinda like the Truly Beauty Butters) so I do 70% butters and 30% oils. 🥰 Hope this helps! Also, make sure you store it in a dark cool place
Gm. I asked about a written recipe in either grams or ounces, but you didn't reply. I really like your videos, but would really like links to written instructions as well. Thanks
Hi Jessica, Thanks for sharing your recipe. I've tried others and this was the best! My only problem is it hardened the next day. Any advice on how to fix this? I whipped for 8 minutes with a standing mixer. It got super fluffy after 5 minutes. At 8 minutes it wasn't as fluffy. Should I have stopped at 5? Just trying to figure this out.... :-)
You should be able to sub any butters and oils for any other ones but it might change texture a but because of the different properties of each different ingredient, for example some oils and butters are more lightweight than others
hey, you can use any substitues, but keep in mind you may not have the same exact results as she did. I use germall plus instead of optiphen and it is fine for me.
I tried this recipe and although it was nice after whipped it got super hard the next day. I’ve watched other videos concerning this and it’s most likely due to lack of liquid oils in the recipe.
So when measuring this out how do you measure in % like what’s the oz? I’d love for my body butter to not be oily; feel like it’s hydrating and not oily or dry.
Hey, aloe vera extract has antioxidant and antibacterial properties so, I would replace it with more vitamin e or another ingredient that is an antioxidant.
it would be helpful if you write the recipe also in the box below, so it's much easier for us to follow. I can understand Affiliate Marketing, but don't forget the purpose of the video.
This is a great recipe. I'm not familiar with BTMS 50 - does this ingredient keep it from melting when its shipped? I'd like to learn more about this. Really good recipe...
I feel the recipe has too many ingredients making it maybe too expensive to create? I have started making butters too and one of them has this exact texture. Am wondering if I can achieve this texture minus some of the oils and emulsifier being used here?
There are moments that the music is blending with your fast, high pitched quiet voice. You're voice gets hard to hear word for word. You have a nice voice, its just the volume of the background.
Hey love I made this exact butter!The 2nd day the texture completely changed it became more solid.Do you think by adding less arrowroot it may help maintain the creamy texture vs a more solid butter?I just want to make these for me and my hubby
I had the same experience with the recipe; turned solid the next day. I thought that maybe I mixed it too long? I mixed for 8 minutes with a standing mixer.
It needed more oil, the less oil the more solid it will be, the more oils added the more loose the formula will stay. Check humblebee channel. She shows how the various oils to butter ratio impacts the end product
If I may ask, how did you come up with the amounts for the ingredients? Like did you know you wanted Kokum butter to be 30% or did you have to play around with test batches before you found the right consistency and it came out to be 30%?
the recipe looks amazing but I was wondering how much my btms50 doesn’t melt easily. Takes forever and it is still a bit clumpy. Also when whipping it became hard and into small clumps. Is there such a thing as too whipped? Thanks!
Hello! May I ask the reason why you added a preservative? Is it because of the aloe extract? I’m just starting to learn about formulation and such. 😄 It looks amazing 🥥
Preservative is a must when you have any formulation with water, even distilled & boiled water. Lotions/creams develop bacteria at the drop of a hat so always spray/wipe all of your pots, bowls, utensils & storage containers with 91% rubbing alcohol & maintain a sterile environment as much as possible. Though preservative isn't required in oil based formulas with no water, it's a good idea. There are a few good "natural" preservatives, vitamin E oil & lavender EO do not count as such. Research videos on skincare preservatives, its very helpful!
Hello just watched your video and enjoyed learning the way you make your butter. How do you measure on how much to use, also what utensils do you use to measure?
When formulating body and skincare products, usually they use a weight scale to weigh their products and use glass beakers that have a high tolerance to heat! I’m a newbie at this stuff too but have been learning a bunch of stuff 🥰
You can replace anything you want ♥️ you can also lower the BTMS50 to 3% and the arrowroot powder to 5% and add up to 7% extra oils instead, or up to 7 extra botanical extracts at 1% each. As for adding all of the oils, I recommend sticking to 1 to 4 oils at most.
Hi dear I used this recipe. Instead of kokum butter I used cocoa butter. Below was the ratio 20% mango 15% cocoa n Shea each The consistency is like ice Cream n it's melting. Where did I go wrong. Can you please guide
@@sonalishah6923 your formulation should consist of 70% butters and 30% oils Or 80% butters and 20% oils I think you did not use enough butters hence why it Is melting
Nice recipe, just curious why use an emulsifier if your not using water. Wouldn’t stearic acid be better. It has a much higher melting point and it’s a stabilizer.
I'm fairly new to making bath and body products. This recipe is a bit confusing to me, how do I convert this recipe to lbs, oz, ml ect? Also if I don't have kokum butter, are there any substitutes that I can use? Or could I use 25% shea butter and 25% mango butter or 15% mango butter, 30% shea butter and 5% coco butter?
Hi! Everything is done by weight, so you won’t need to measure by ML. I gave it as percentages so you can use whatever metric you desire and create however much you want. I’ll give you an example, let’s say you want to make 6 ounces of product, then you’d take the percentages of the recipe and apply it to 6 ounces. 30% of 6 ounces would be 1.80 ounces (6 multiplied by .30 in a calculator) and so forth. If you want to convert it to pounds, then every 16 ounces equals 1 pound. In this scenario, if your scale reads pounds and not ounces, I would just use grams instead, since it’s less confusing (to me) than having to convert pounds to ounces and vise versa. Or, if you want to make 1lb and 6 ounces of product, that is equal to 22 ounces, so you’d use 30% of 22 ounces, which is 6.60 ounces. As for a substitution, if you use a lot of Shea butter the recipe will be really soft, and mango butter has a lower melt point. You can definitely leave out the Kokum butter though and just substitute it for more Shea there’s nothing wrong with that. It will make it creamier and fluffier, but have a lower melt point. If you try it and don’t like how soft it is, increase the BTMS 50 to 8 or 10% to make it firmer. If you don’t have BTMS50, then replace it with Emulsifying Wax NF (start with 5% and go from there). You can play with any combo of butters, there’s no right or wrong answer. Body butters are fun to play around with because the recipe is so flexible ♥️
@@HawthornCompany omg thank you! The way you explained it made so much sense. I was going all over the place trying to figure this out. Thank you so much for your advice and explanation, you're a blessing! ☺️☺️☺️
Sorry for the late reply! I haven’t tried it with 25 yet, I would try just using 5% and if it’s not thick enough for you then up it to 8 - 10% I used a natural oil from Wooden Wick called star jasmine Santal
Can Aloe Extract be substituted or omitted if I don't have it on hand? If substituted, does it have to be an extract? If omitted, do I increase another ingredient to keep the % at 100%? Thanks so much!
I just started my business on instagram and I only have gotten one order so far which im extremely thankful for and she said she loved it but i’m hoping to have more orders in the future!

Can’t wait to try this! And the sprinkle of gold is a great touch. ⭐️
It’s not Hawthorn if there’s no gold somewhere 🤣 LMK how it works for you
Omg! Thank you for the clarity! Someone said to use rose water, now i see what my butter is falling apart 😂
You'd need an emulsifier if you're adding oils and water together
@@mifumarcuszhisalo4194 but the BTMS is an emulsifier as wel.she can add water if she want to right?
I made this but replaced kokum butter with cocoa butter and it turned out so lush and doesn’t melt 😌
If you deal with acne on your body I recommend using mango butter because it won’t clog your pores but Shea butter will :)

I'm always learning. I made some just for myself last summer. Didn't know about the “resting for 24hrs😦
Haha it’s fine if you don’t let it rest, it’s just that the texture changes after 24 hours is all
@@HawthornCompany the texture change is it due to the types of butters used or it’s the emulsifier?

Nice formula.
hey is this a great percentage if i only have this ingredients?
20% shea butter
35% kokum butter
35% oil
10% arrowroot powder
Thank you so much this came out beautifully ❤

Also if I don't have kokum butter, are there any substitutes that I can use? Or could I use 25% shea butter and 25% mango butter or 15% mango butter, 30% shea butter and 5% coco butter?
Hi! Everything is done by weight, so you won’t need to measure by ML. I gave it as percentages so you can use whatever metric you desire and create however much you want. I’ll give you an example, let’s say you want to make 6 ounces of product, then you’d take the percentages of the recipe and apply it to 6 ounces. 30% of 6 ounces would be 1.80 ounces (6 multiplied by .30 in a calculator) and so forth. If you want to convert it to pounds, then every 16 ounces equals 1 pound. In this scenario, if your scale reads pounds and not ounces, I would just use grams instead, since it’s less confusing (to me) than having to convert pounds to ounces and vise versa. Or, if you want to make 1lb and 6 ounces of product, that is equal to 22 ounces, so you’d use 30% of 22 ounces, which is 6.60 ounces.
As for a substitution, if you use a lot of Shea butter the recipe will be really soft, and mango butter has a lower melt point. You can definitely leave out the Kokum butter though and just substitute it for more Shea there’s nothing wrong with that. It will make it creamier and fluffier, but have a lower melt point. If you try it and don’t like how soft it is, increase the BTMS 50 to 8 or 10% to make it firmer. If you don’t have BTMS50, then replace it with Emulsifying Wax NF (start with 5% and go from there).
You can play with any combo of butters, there’s no right or wrong answer. Body butters are fun to play around with because the recipe is so flexible ♥️
@@HawthornCompany omg thank you! The way you explained it made so much sense. I was going all over the place trying to figure this out. Thank you so much for your advice and explanation, you're a blessing! ☺️☺️☺️
So informative, thank you. Can I use BTMS 25 instead though?
You can, 25 will work just fine ♥️
Is it possible to sub the btms 50 with soft and silky ewax?
You should have more subscribers🙂 great content
Looks Amazing . You’ll be selling this when you launch????
Yes 🙌🏻🙌🏻 a different formula than this one though
Can apply in hair also?
Do you have exact measurements without preservatives?
Amazing 💕 what is BTMST 50
Could you tell me how I figure out percentage (exact measurement) please?
Thank you Jessica, can’t wait to make it, I can only get btms 25 do I double the amount I use? And what fragrance did you use, I love your choices!
Sorry for the late reply! I haven’t tried it with 25 yet, I would try just using 5% and if it’s not thick enough for you then up it to 8 - 10%
I used a natural oil from Wooden Wick called star jasmine Santal
Can Aloe Extract be substituted or omitted if I don't have it on hand? If substituted, does it have to be an extract? If omitted, do I increase another ingredient to keep the % at 100%?
Thanks so much!
You don’t have to add the extract, just increase the % of something else (oils preferably)
