Hands down one of the best tutorials for making whipped body butter. The tips were amazing. I will def incorporate more refrigerator time as you did for my batches.
Update! Bought and gave this to a very picky SIK...she gave me feedback today! Oohing and Aaahhing! Hit the bell homerun! 'Not greasy, soaks right in, feels amazing'...are a few of the things she said! AGREED! Phenom! Thank you!
This looks luscious, I might make this one, Mango butter and all butters are soooo expensive here in New Zealand, the last butter I made which was more shea less Mango worked out to be $21 a jar to make, that's crazy! I think I will just make it for my family and not sell it. Thanks for the recipe and congrats on making 400 now!
Thank you for this tutorial with recipe. I love mango butter too, plus I add a little kokum butter and arrowroot powder to mine to help counteract greasiness. I was wondering if you could explain why it went back to the fridge so much.
Thanks for watching Debbie! Oh Kokum butter sounds lovely! I have some but only used it in shampoo bars. It went back into the fridge so often because that is something I saw Marie at humblebee and me do for a lovely final texture. I find that it holds the fluffiness better when put in the fridge. She actually whipped it every 10 min, but as my batch is so much larger I put it in closer to 30 between whipping.😊
This is my first visit to your channel, I was reading the comments, they are filled with love and respect for you Tammy, and that tells me a lot about you without knowing you. Thanks for keeping it real. P.S. I've just subscribed.
I must say that I was surprised to see ‘organic’ Pumpkin Kernel Oil come in that plastic bottle. Looking at the volume of your supply you must be fortunate in the States for it not to be too expensive. Here, a good quality, pure Pumpkin Kernel Oil, I last saw, would set me back $67 for 500ml in a dark glass bottle. Great stuff! // Well done on abandoning the use of colourants- the body doesn’t want or need them. How about rethinking the use of ‘fragrance oils’ - they are neuro toxins. Pure Essential Oils are extracts from the benevolence of Mother Nature Herself and used with respect and research are by far more beneficial and enjoyable than any synthetic creation by man. 😊

Have you ever just used arrowroot to combat the greasiness? If so, what are your thought on using arrowroot? Is it good for your skin or does it make any difference?
Hi Diana! I did use arrowroot powder the last time I made this (I think it was at 1%). I may have noticed a bit of a difference and I may include it from this point on as it is really good for skin. It is especially good for irritated skin. It also help moisturize skin. It really is a win win 😊

I love your Channel Tammy because your channel is so real. You never panic and always smile even when things go not quite right. I think I would love to make this because it's not greasy. Hopefully I can get pumpkin oil readily in Australia. Your Body butter looks so luxurious.
Aww, thanks Tanya! I appreciate that! I have a trick if you can't get pumpkin oil - the trick is to go on to New Directions website and search any ol' oil you want to use. They have a great section that will tell you the absorbency of most oils - here is what it says about pumpkin: Absorption: Organic Pumpkin Seed Oil is readily absorbed by the skin. So any oil (or butter) that you want to swap, check here and if it states "readily absorbed" you should be good to swap for a non-greasy formula! Good Luck!💗
Bless you Tammy you’re very generous sharing your recipe. I am about to start my own body butter and your video is very detailed and I love how explained everything. Thank you you are a star
oh I'm sorry you are having that problem! The best advice I can give you is to melt your butters super slow and cool everything rather quickly - good luck!🤗
Have you heard of Baraka Shea butter. It supports women in Ghana and their families and is pure organic shea...they have lots of other butters as well.

Hey, these are lovely, so creamy and fluffy 😍 wow! I agree with you, True Body Butter just has butters and oils and no water 👍🏻. Congratulations on 400 Subscriber 🎉 Thank you for sharing your recipe, have a wonderful day 💕 Take care ✨
haha thank you for letting me know that! of course I had to go watch 9:07 and see what I said/did to prompt that 😂😂 - yep - just me here doin my thing (and making mistakes and messes along the way!) 💗
no preservative needed. there is no water in the formula and not much of a worry of water being introduced. If it is a product for the shower (with no water in the formula) I would add a preservative.
Warming butters too quickly and too hot and on direct heat can cause graininess. Double boiler will help eliminate grains. That and straining, in case there is bark, has eliminated mine from any grains.
Yes! That does cause graininess doesn't it! My batch is too large for a double boiler (at least for me since I have the least amount of patience possible 😂😂😂) I don't have problems with graininess with this method but I am very very careful with the stove top heating, especially with the quick cool down in the fridge. Thanks so much for your tips!
I believe there are different colors from different suppliers. I buy from Soaper's Choice and it is a dark green, I believe Wholesale Supplies Plus has it that is more of a pale yellow. I would suggest looking around at where you buy oils from and seeing what they offer. I have learned to embrace the color, but I remember when I first started using it I was not sure about it! Good Luck!!
Hi. Is there a substitution for pumpkin seed oil? I do not care for the dark colour or scent. Sadly I am migraine prone and certain scents trigger migraines. Would jojoba or argan oil be a suitable swap? Thank you for the lovely recipe! Best regards.
Hi RT - for this formula I would say any fast absorbing oil will be a good replacement - I love to look at New Directions for this info - I checked argan and here is what it says: Absorption: Absorbs into skin at an average speed, leaving a slight oily feeling on skin. I prefer to have oils the state "readily absorb" but if you are good with a more oily end product it would be fine to use. Hope this helps!😀
Thank you for sharing the recipe. Im just getting into making organic skin care and every other video i saw was using esthers or conservatives or chemicals i cant even pronounce. I will make it. Maybe we can share experiences :)
Jennifer Heinze, I liked the idea of having asked about beeswax, I put it in all my creams and lotions, it helps to seal the moisture on the skin and it's also a sort of antioxidant , blessings
I am new to body butter - in fact I haven't made it yet, but I like the sounds of this formula! I have a friend who prefers regular body butter as opposed to "whipped" body butter. Can you tell me the difference between the two? I have searched the web and cannot find an answer. This is a learning experience for me! Can this recipe be used as a regular body butter instead of the "whipped" version? Thanks for whatever help you can give me!
Hi Marylu! That's a great question, honestly the only difference (as far as I know) is literally as you would think. One you whip, this puts air in the product and gives it that fluffy almost spongy texture. For a non-whipped butter you would let it cool somewhat and pour into jars while still in the liquid form. This gives the butter a much firmer texture. Then you have some people that call a cream an emulsified body butter, this is more like a lotion in texture. Yes, this recipe can be made without whipping! I haven't tested this so if you make it like that I would love to hear what you (and your friend) think!😊
thanks for the tip Lindsay! I usually end up putting the bowl in the freezer for the first 20-30 min depending on the size of my batch. Game Changer! 😊
I was writing down recipe but think there was no quantity for safflower oil, or I missed it. Could you tell me. You also said you would give percentage, but missed it unless I can not see recipe. Thanks so much!
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique Hi Sue-Myra , The reason I asked for percentages and /or amount of safflower oil is I still can not see it!! I watched video again, hunted around. I do not see it. Only see title of video. Can you tell me or someone please help, as this looks like a wonderful recipe. Thank you again! I would really appreciate it! TIA Trish
@@trishtaylor3486 Good Morning Trish! Here are the amounts. My Recipe: (makes 65 oz to split into 4 scents) Mango Butter 24.5 oz | 37.62% Pumpkin Seed Oil 14.2 oz | 21.78% Safflower Oil 14.2 oz | 21.78% Shea Butter 11.6 oz | 17.82% Vitamin E Oil .7 oz | 1% FO / EO - 1-2% I'm not sure why you are not seeing it - are you clicking "show More" in the description box section below the video?? Either way - hope you enjoy! 💖
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique And I apologize it all made sense because I continued to watch and it motivated me to get started on posting my skincare journey. So God bless you and I’m glad yo yo kept going and even more glad I found your page. 🙏🏽
Thanks!! My best thought would be (if you have trouble using the percentages) is to take my amounts and just keep halving everything until you get to the size that works for you. Hope that helps some!
Hello! I am new to your channel and I am trying body butters for the first time. I have some ingredients already bc I make and sell moisturizing sugar scrubs and wanted to add body butter. My question is can I use cocobutter in place of one of the butters? I know some are already on the soft side and some are hard like my cocobutter. Would Mango and cocobutter work and keep same consistency? Thanks so much!
Hi, thanks so much for watching! I think you could swap either the mango or the shea with the cocoa butter. I will change the consistency a bit probably - because cocoa butter is considered a brittle butter and the other two are considered hard butters. This may not be a bad thing though - this butter has a bit of a lower melt point so adding cocoa butter may help with that. If you try it let me know how it turns out!
honestly the best place I have found is Marie at Humblebee and Me also Tara Lee - both on youtube and they give really good solid info on all sorts of products and ingredients. I'm sorry I don't know of any books to direct you to. Good Luck!💗
Does the heat affect the vit E, is that why you waited till cooler to add? Seems like it would have mixed better with everything when it was more fluid, but I dont know if that would be ok. great video
thanks! I have learned since making this video that vit E is much less heat sensitive than I knew. I now add it to my heated "anything" because you are completely right, it mixes in way better that way. Thanks for watching!! 🤗😀
I honestly don't know what you mean by this. Safflower makes for a great addition to body butters and it is very good for sensitive skin and it absorbs really really well, so no greasiness.
I don't really smell much in mango - everyone's nose is different but I feel it is a very mild scent. It is certainly nothing I ever worried about hurting my fragrance oil scent (like raw cocoa butter will) Hope that helps!
Thank you for sharing, beginner here and interested on making my own natural y healthy products, can you tell me do you use refined or natural butters?
I use refined. I personally don't want to fight the strong scents that unrefined brings to the product. But some people that are wanting super natural products will use unrefined. Good Luck!!!
Hi Charlene! You could try Camellia Seed oil for a luxury substitute or Safflower oil for a economy option - both absorb nicely into the skin! Good Luck!
You can try other butters, cocoa butter would be an easy to find replacement but it will make the product a bit firmer - maybe adjust the % of oil up a bit. There are a lot of pseudo butters that might be fun to play with - look at new directions - www.newdirectionsaromatics.com/products/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=butter I don't know how well they sink into the skin though so if they are too greasy you could add up to 10% arrowroot powder to help. I don't feel the recipe as is needs arrowroot powder but if swapping for a more greasy oil/butter that is what I would do to help that. Good Luck!!
I never heard of pumpkin seed oil. I'm going to try that. I heat my mango and shea in the sun during warm months and cool in the fridge before whipping. Seems like I had grittiness when I used the freezer...not sure if that was the reason. Thank you so much for your channel. It's great!
Hi Cora! I'm so happy you found me!! Thank you for your kind words! What a great idea to heat your butters in the hot sun! That has to be more gentle than a stove or microwave!! I use the freezer because my batch is usually too big to do much in the fridge, I'm not sure if that would cause graininess or not though. Those butters sure are picky LOL (give that pumpkin seed oil a go, I think you will love it!!) 💗
do you have a smaller recipe that I could try ? I have made so many creams that don't work, so having a smaller recipe would be so helpful. thanks so much and I look forward to hearing from you.
Well, if you look in the description box the percentages are there for you to scale up or down. If that is a little confusing (I couldn't do that without a software - me and math - we don't like each other LOL) just take the amounts and keep dividing by half until you get to the size you are comfortable with. Good Luck!
Hi How do you seal your hair curls naturally? Please advice if you do use any natural formulation without chemicals 😊 You have such a beautiful curls !
Thank you! That is very kind of you 💕I use both natural (my shampoo and conditioner bars) and then store bought curl creams and gels. I also used to deep condition my hair every week but am down to just once a month or so. I spend a good amount of time on them once a week and then very minimal the rest. But I learned to sleep in a bonnet and a silk pillowcase, I don't use a regular towel (microfiber only) and I have learned how to refresh them better. But I still have a few frizzy days a week - don't let me fool ya 😂
That's a tough one. The best I could suggest is to look for a company that duplicates product scents. Bath and Body and Scentsy, Yankee are all pretty easy to find but if it is an Ulta brand you probably won't find a duplicate. The other thing you can try is to take the notes that you love in the scent and try to combine them yourself. It would take some trial and error but it may be worth it. I just had my first "blending" session and had a lot of fun (I taped it, so it will be up in a week or so). I really learned a lot about blending scents. Sorry I am not more help!
I just love your work. Can't wait to try this recipe. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us. I'm the same I'm trying to find the best non greasy body butter. Have a great day. Congratulations on your growth
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I plan on making it this weekend. My question is can I make a big batch and store it in one big container and only scoop when I get an order. I will be using different scents per order. So basically this would be my base. I love your videos. You are so down to earth. I am a new subscriber.
It is not as absorbable as some safflower. A trick I use is to look up the oil on New Directions website. In the description of the oil it tells you the absorbency characteristics of the oils. It is a great resource! Good Luck🤗
Yes you can but the consistency may be off a bit. Try to keep the butters and oils to the same percentage that I used and that may help keep the consistency closer. The nice thing is you can always gently melt it down and add more oil or butter if you need to, then whip it up again.🤗
Yes! it is very soft and spongy! But this has a lot to do with how long you mix it. It can be tricky- no enough and it gets pretty firm and hard to "scoop" . Too much and the butter will deflate over time leaving it looking odd in the container, like you shorted someone on product. (I've done both!😆)
Thanks Yvette! I split the batch into 4, each with 16 oz each - that gave me a total of 6 4 oz jars with about 3 oz in each. (for each scent) - total recipe yielded 24 jars Hope that helps!! Thank you for watching😊
Sure! Any oil you want or like. My only recommendation is to choose an oil that absorbs into the skin quickly to keep this a non greasy formula - good luck! 🤗
nope you didn't miss anything! I formulated with butters and oils that are in themselves non greasy. That is all it was! So that means I didn't have to add powders or anything to help - YAY for easy!!!!🤓
you sure can and I do now, at least until it cools off a bit. I had not realized that we have to be careful of condensation adding water to the batch. Cooling quickly helps the texture and also wards off the graininess - so you may struggle a bit more with those issues by not putting in the fridge. good Luck! 🤗
Measuring is necessary. It not your liquid to hard oil/butter ratio will be off and you could end up with a real runny mess or a way too solid product.
I just now found your channel and this older video popped up on you tube. This is very interesting. How long will your products last? I watched another video of a lady making chamomile lotion and she said she added a preservative because otherwise it wouldn’t last very long. Thanks for sharing how you make this. I’d love to try making some.
HI Pam! I'm so glad you stopped by and watched my video! You don't have to add a preservative to this recipe as there is no water added. Also there is a low chance of water being introduced to the jar with wet hands. This jar will last a good year, but that also depends on how old your oils are. Vit E is added to help the oils/butters from going rancid too quickly. Let me know if you try it or if you have any other questions!
Thank you for sharing. It’s awesome to share!! 🙏 🙏 I would love it if you are willing to share any recipes for curly hair products. (My partner has curly hair)
I am working on a shampoo bar for curly hair that I hope to share soon. Also I am working on testing a co-wash that would be great for curly hair. Thanks for watching!!
This is actually something I am planning on doing very soon! I personally would set it on my shelf for storage. But..I don't have a fridge to put it in so I don't store anything in there (other than my frozen goat's milk and tallow). My storage room also stays quite cool, around 58-65 usually so that helps with my storing. If I had a room that stayed in the 70s or so I would maybe rethink that and purchase a fridge for storing my oils and whatnot. If you try this let me know how it goes!!
if by cooked you mean where you gently melt them and then quickly cool them then yes and no. if you butters come to you grainy -yes, if they come to you nice and soft with no graininess, I see no reason to do it. I am gently melting them in this process so that also helps with that
Hi! Thanks for your comment. I do not use a preservative for this as there is no water in the formula and there is also very little chance of water being introduced.
I normally use refined for the smell, but have recently started using a bit of unrefined shea. cocoa butter is a pretty much given it will be refined, everything smells like chocolate otherwise LOL (I do have a bit for those very few times I want a chocolate scent - perfect in certain lip balms)
300 subscribers? That will go up quickly! You’re amazing and REAL ❤️. I didn’t read all the comments so I apologize if someone already asked this but does this recipe ship ok without melting during these hot summer months?
Hi Rose! Thank you for your sweet words!💖💖💖 - for shipping - that is a hard no, LOL - this is pretty heat sensitive. Outdoor shows in the summer, no, shipping in the summer, no - but I have had success shipping in the winter. I am going to work on having a second formula that is more heat stable next year (I hope). I love this one so much I hate to change it, but I do loose sales due to not being able to ship in the summer🤔

Wow, thank you! That means a lot to me! I'm so glad you like it!!♥😀
Thank you so much for sharing so many people are hesitant to do! I appreciate it for a wonderful starting point.
You are so welcome! I hope you make it and love it as much as I do!
Hey, these are lovely, so creamy and fluffy 😍 wow!
I agree with you, True Body Butter just has butters and oils and no water 👍🏻.
Congratulations on 400 Subscriber 🎉
Thank you for sharing your recipe, have a wonderful day 💕 Take care ✨
Thank you so mch!!♥
9:07 I became your newest subscriber!! 😂😂
haha thank you for letting me know that! of course I had to go watch 9:07 and see what I said/did to prompt that 😂😂 - yep - just me here doin my thing (and making mistakes and messes along the way!) 💗
Me too lol
Does this need any preservatives ?
no preservative needed. there is no water in the formula and not much of a worry of water being introduced. If it is a product for the shower (with no water in the formula) I would add a preservative.
Warming butters too quickly and too hot and on direct heat can cause graininess. Double boiler will help eliminate grains. That and straining, in case there is bark, has eliminated mine from any grains.
Yes! That does cause graininess doesn't it! My batch is too large for a double boiler (at least for me since I have the least amount of patience possible 😂😂😂) I don't have problems with graininess with this method but I am very very careful with the stove top heating, especially with the quick cool down in the fridge. Thanks so much for your tips!
Where can I find the mango butter?
I get mine from Soaper's Choice (7 pound minimum), but WSP, or BrambleBerry has it too in smaller amounts.
another option to help with your body butter being greasy is by adding arrow root powder.
Hello, Can you tell me the size of the amber jars you purchased or share a link to them? Thank you so much for the video!
Great thanks for sharing! I love mango butter as well one of my fave ingredients for body butter
It's the best right?!😀
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique absolute best! I can’t wait to see more of your content! Have a great one
thanks for the video! always was curious about making my own. your source materials list is helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!🤗
Wow.. finally, someone who knows how to use a spatula
😊😊 know what you mean 😂
Thank you for the excellent tutorial! I am interested in trying the pumpkin seed oil but would like to avoid the tint. Do you have any suggestions?
I believe there are different colors from different suppliers. I buy from Soaper's Choice and it is a dark green, I believe Wholesale Supplies Plus has it that is more of a pale yellow. I would suggest looking around at where you buy oils from and seeing what they offer. I have learned to embrace the color, but I remember when I first started using it I was not sure about it! Good Luck!!
So now y’all make body butter something created Ghana.
Hi. Is there a substitution for pumpkin seed oil? I do not care for the dark colour or scent. Sadly I am migraine prone and certain scents trigger migraines. Would jojoba or argan oil be a suitable swap?
Thank you for the lovely recipe! Best regards.
Hi RT - for this formula I would say any fast absorbing oil will be a good replacement - I love to look at New Directions for this info - I checked argan and here is what it says: Absorption: Absorbs into skin at an average speed, leaving a slight oily feeling on skin. I prefer to have oils the state "readily absorb" but if you are good with a more oily end product it would be fine to use. Hope this helps!😀
Thank you for sharing the recipe. Im just getting into making organic skin care and every other video i saw was using esthers or conservatives or chemicals i cant even pronounce.
I will make it. Maybe we can share experiences :)
Oh good luck with your new adventure! Let me know what you think of this one!🤗
Could we add beeswax in the summer months to help the butter keep its form and prevent melting?
you know, Jennifer, that is a good idea. I hadn't thought about adding a wax. Now you have me thinking...LOL
Jennifer Heinze, I liked the idea of having asked about beeswax, I put it in all my creams and lotions, it helps to seal the moisture on the skin and it's also a sort of antioxidant , blessings
I am new to body butter - in fact I haven't made it yet, but I like the sounds of this formula! I have a friend who prefers regular body butter as opposed to "whipped" body butter. Can you tell me the difference between the two? I have searched the web and cannot find an answer. This is a learning experience for me! Can this recipe be used as a regular body butter instead of the "whipped" version? Thanks for whatever help you can give me!
Hi Marylu! That's a great question, honestly the only difference (as far as I know) is literally as you would think. One you whip, this puts air in the product and gives it that fluffy almost spongy texture. For a non-whipped butter you would let it cool somewhat and pour into jars while still in the liquid form. This gives the butter a much firmer texture. Then you have some people that call a cream an emulsified body butter, this is more like a lotion in texture. Yes, this recipe can be made without whipping! I haven't tested this so if you make it like that I would love to hear what you (and your friend) think!😊
I've been searching for a non greasy formula so thank you.
You are so welcome - I hope you love it as much as I do! 😊
Fab video I would always recommend cooling butters in the freezer I find it stops any grainy feel to the butter.
thanks for the tip Lindsay! I usually end up putting the bowl in the freezer for the first 20-30 min depending on the size of my batch. Game Changer! 😊
What essential oil did you use after you went through all of the phases?
no mircowave you will shock the butter n burn it. use a stove top only.
Your so right, body butters doesn't contain water. Love the video :)
Right!? Thank you for watching and your kind words!!😃
This video helped me so much , I’m starting my body butter business 😊
oh I'm so glad Leshia! Good Luck in your new business!!! 🤗
I was writing down recipe but think there was no quantity for safflower oil, or I missed it. Could you tell me. You also said you would give percentage, but missed it unless I can not see recipe. Thanks so much!
You can find the percentages in the description of the video :)
Yes, my weights used and the percentages are there for you! Thanks for watching!! Let me know what you think of it if you make it!!😊
Thanks Sue-Myra!!
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique Hi Sue-Myra , The reason I asked for percentages and /or amount of safflower oil is I still can not see it!! I watched video again, hunted around. I do not see it. Only see title of video. Can you tell me or someone please help, as this looks like a wonderful recipe. Thank you again! I would really appreciate it! TIA Trish
@@trishtaylor3486 Good Morning Trish! Here are the amounts. My Recipe: (makes 65 oz to split into 4 scents)
Mango Butter 24.5 oz | 37.62%
Pumpkin Seed Oil 14.2 oz | 21.78%
Safflower Oil 14.2 oz | 21.78%
Shea Butter 11.6 oz | 17.82%
Vitamin E Oil .7 oz | 1%
FO / EO - 1-2%
I'm not sure why you are not seeing it - are you clicking "show More" in the description box section below the video?? Either way - hope you enjoy! 💖
What exactly is Mango Butter?
Ok got further along and you explained…. Lol
Thanks for sticking with me on it! This was fairly early on in my YT adventure LOL
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique And I apologize it all made sense because I continued to watch and it motivated me to get started on posting my skincare journey. So God bless you and I’m glad yo yo kept going and even more glad I found your page. 🙏🏽
@@MsSocialMediaMogulMUA aww, thanks! Good luck in your new adventure!!
Can you formulate a much smaller batch please.. it looks divine!
Thanks!! My best thought would be (if you have trouble using the percentages) is to take my amounts and just keep halving everything until you get to the size that works for you. Hope that helps some!
Hello! I am new to your channel and I am trying body butters for the first time. I have some ingredients already bc I make and sell moisturizing sugar scrubs and wanted to add body butter. My question is can I use cocobutter in place of one of the butters? I know some are already on the soft side and some are hard like my cocobutter. Would Mango and cocobutter work and keep same consistency? Thanks so much!
Hi, thanks so much for watching! I think you could swap either the mango or the shea with the cocoa butter. I will change the consistency a bit probably - because cocoa butter is considered a brittle butter and the other two are considered hard butters. This may not be a bad thing though - this butter has a bit of a lower melt point so adding cocoa butter may help with that. If you try it let me know how it turns out!
Awesome video! What is your suggestion to use to wipe off the jars after filling? Also, what size bottle is that of fragrance oil in the video?
I just use some 71% alcohol on a paper towel to clean the jars. That was a 16 oz bottle in the video. Hope this helps!
I really enjoyed watching you make this. Thanks for sharing your recipe I’m going to try it 😄
Hope you enjoy Trina! Thanks for watching!!
I won't use shea butter anymore, I'll use shea oil instead- same benefits no grainy lumps anywhere
ohh, I had a small bottle of that once, I need to look into that again. Thanks for the tip!🤗
Hi do you recommend any books for newbies before we jump straight in? What would you recommend thanks for sharing ❤
honestly the best place I have found is Marie at Humblebee and Me
also Tara Lee - both on youtube and they give really good solid info on all sorts of products and ingredients. I'm sorry I don't know of any books to direct you to. Good Luck!💗
Does the heat affect the vit E, is that why you waited till cooler to add? Seems like it would have mixed better with everything when it was more fluid, but I dont know if that would be ok. great video
thanks! I have learned since making this video that vit E is much less heat sensitive than I knew. I now add it to my heated "anything" because you are completely right, it mixes in way better that way. Thanks for watching!! 🤗😀
Oh my 🤦🏻♀️ safflower oil has 70% linoleic acid 😳😳. Can't get worse than that 😢
I honestly don't know what you mean by this. Safflower makes for a great addition to body butters and it is very good for sensitive skin and it absorbs really really well, so no greasiness.
Does mango butter have a scent what would be a good mix of stuff to have no scent or the least. I need to make an unscented version
I don't really smell much in mango - everyone's nose is different but I feel it is a very mild scent. It is certainly nothing I ever worried about hurting my fragrance oil scent (like raw cocoa butter will) Hope that helps!
Thank you for sharing, beginner here and interested on making my own natural y healthy products, can you tell me do you use refined or natural butters?
I use refined. I personally don't want to fight the strong scents that unrefined brings to the product. But some people that are wanting super natural products will use unrefined. Good Luck!!!
How much vitamin e oil? I enjoyed listening to your video several times. You’re gifted at teaching. Your down to earth and honest! Thank you!
aww thanks so much! I appreciate that! I usually use vitamin E at 1% - good luck
When you add the Vitamin E oil into the mix, what was the measurement for that please?
1% of the formula - 0.7oz I believe is what I used for this large sized batch - hope that helps!
What can you use that's non greasy other than pumpkin seed oil?
Hi Charlene! You could try Camellia Seed oil for a luxury substitute or Safflower oil for a economy option - both absorb nicely into the skin! Good Luck!
My daughter is allergic to mango. Is there a suitable replacement?
You can try other butters, cocoa butter would be an easy to find replacement but it will make the product a bit firmer - maybe adjust the % of oil up a bit. There are a lot of pseudo butters that might be fun to play with - look at new directions - www.newdirectionsaromatics.com/products/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=butter
I don't know how well they sink into the skin though so if they are too greasy you could add up to 10% arrowroot powder to help. I don't feel the recipe as is needs arrowroot powder but if swapping for a more greasy oil/butter that is what I would do to help that. Good Luck!!
You seem so happy! Beautiful soul! I'll be trying this soon!
aw, thank you! That is very kind of you to say🤗
I never heard of pumpkin seed oil. I'm going to try that. I heat my mango and shea in the sun during warm months and cool in the fridge before whipping. Seems like I had grittiness when I used the freezer...not sure if that was the reason. Thank you so much for your channel. It's great!
Hi Cora! I'm so happy you found me!! Thank you for your kind words! What a great idea to heat your butters in the hot sun! That has to be more gentle than a stove or microwave!! I use the freezer because my batch is usually too big to do much in the fridge, I'm not sure if that would cause graininess or not though. Those butters sure are picky LOL (give that pumpkin seed oil a go, I think you will love it!!) 💗
do you have a smaller recipe that I could try ? I have made so many creams that don't work, so having a smaller recipe would be so helpful. thanks so much and I look forward to hearing from you.
Well, if you look in the description box the percentages are there for you to scale up or down. If that is a little confusing (I couldn't do that without a software - me and math - we don't like each other LOL) just take the amounts and keep dividing by half until you get to the size you are comfortable with. Good Luck!
Hi
How do you seal your hair curls naturally? Please advice if you do use any natural formulation without chemicals 😊
You have such a beautiful curls !
Thank you! That is very kind of you 💕I use both natural (my shampoo and conditioner bars) and then store bought curl creams and gels. I also used to deep condition my hair every week but am down to just once a month or so. I spend a good amount of time on them once a week and then very minimal the rest. But I learned to sleep in a bonnet and a silk pillowcase, I don't use a regular towel (microfiber only) and I have learned how to refresh them better. But I still have a few frizzy days a week - don't let me fool ya 😂
What is your glass size mixing bowl? Thank You
That was the 5 quart mixing bowl from my kitchen aid ~ 🤗
how can I dupe the scent for a body butter I got from Ulta? Just by trial and error? I love the smell but don’t know where to start
That's a tough one. The best I could suggest is to look for a company that duplicates product scents. Bath and Body and Scentsy, Yankee are all pretty easy to find but if it is an Ulta brand you probably won't find a duplicate. The other thing you can try is to take the notes that you love in the scent and try to combine them yourself. It would take some trial and error but it may be worth it. I just had my first "blending" session and had a lot of fun (I taped it, so it will be up in a week or so). I really learned a lot about blending scents.
Sorry I am not more help!
I make my body butter the same way you do lol great minds think just a like .. I love thick luscious body butter too and not greasy
YES!~ I love this one so much! Thanks so much for watching!🤗
I just love your work. Can't wait to try this recipe. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us. I'm the same I'm trying to find the best non greasy body butter. Have a great day. Congratulations on your growth
You are so welcome! thank you so much for your comment!!🤗
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I plan on making it this weekend. My question is can I make a big batch and store it in one big container and only scoop when I get an order. I will be using different scents per order. So basically this would be my base. I love your videos. You are so down to earth. I am a new subscriber.
thank you so much for subscribing and your sweet words! Yes you can store it as a base! I actually just did this and it works perfectly!
Good Luck! 💗
You're such a sweetheart ❤
aw, thank you, that is very kind of you! 🤗
Is sunflower oil an absorbable oil substitute for safflower? Others?
It is not as absorbable as some safflower. A trick I use is to look up the oil on New Directions website. In the description of the oil it tells you the absorbency characteristics of the oils. It is a great resource! Good Luck🤗
None of mine has water
Can I use a hand mixer since I don't have a kitchen aid mixer?
yes! It may not whip as much air into the product, or if it does it just may need more time, but still very doable I would think! Good Luck!!
Can I use mango , Shea and almond oils only? Will it keep consistency please ?
Yes you can but the consistency may be off a bit. Try to keep the butters and oils to the same percentage that I used and that may help keep the consistency closer. The nice thing is you can always gently melt it down and add more oil or butter if you need to, then whip it up again.🤗
When making extra to store does it stay at room temperature or does it go in the freezer for future use?
I keep it at room temp - granted 99% of the time my room temp doesn't ever go above 70 🤓
Beautiful! The million dollar question. After 3-4 days does it harden? I know it will some but will it get very stiff?
Yes! it is very soft and spongy! But this has a lot to do with how long you mix it. It can be tricky- no enough and it gets pretty firm and hard to "scoop" . Too much and the butter will deflate over time leaving it looking odd in the container, like you shorted someone on product. (I've done both!😆)
Great tutorial! I really loved watching this. For this batch... how many 4oz jars were you able to fill?
Thanks Yvette! I split the batch into 4, each with 16 oz each - that gave me a total of 6 4 oz jars with about 3 oz in each. (for each scent) - total recipe yielded 24 jars
Hope that helps!! Thank you for watching😊
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique Awesome! Thank you so much. I feel inspired to try this. 🤞🏽
@@yvettearmstrong211 please let me know if you do and how you like it!!
If I do t have the pumpkin, can I substitute something g else?
Sure! Any oil you want or like. My only recommendation is to choose an oil that absorbs into the skin quickly to keep this a non greasy formula - good luck! 🤗
What did you add to make it non greasy? Did I miss something?
nope you didn't miss anything! I formulated with butters and oils that are in themselves non greasy. That is all it was! So that means I didn't have to add powders or anything to help - YAY for easy!!!!🤓
Can this cool down at room temperature without putting it in the fridge???
you sure can and I do now, at least until it cools off a bit. I had not realized that we have to be careful of condensation adding water to the batch.
Cooling quickly helps the texture and also wards off the graininess - so you may struggle a bit more with those issues by not putting in the fridge. good Luck! 🤗
Oh my goodness THANK YOU!!!
You are very Welcome!!!😊
How many cups you glass bowl hold and where you buy it from
Hi Minnie, I believe that was an 8 cup bowl from Walmart. I don't have it anymore though, so can't be sure.
Is the measuring necessary or will the recipe be a complete fail if not done?
Measuring is necessary. It not your liquid to hard oil/butter ratio will be off and you could end up with a real runny mess or a way too solid product.
I just now found your channel and this older video popped up on you tube. This is very interesting. How long will your products last? I watched another video of a lady making chamomile lotion and she said she added a preservative because otherwise it wouldn’t last very long. Thanks for sharing how you make this. I’d love to try making some.
HI Pam! I'm so glad you stopped by and watched my video! You don't have to add a preservative to this recipe as there is no water added. Also there is a low chance of water being introduced to the jar with wet hands. This jar will last a good year, but that also depends on how old your oils are. Vit E is added to help the oils/butters from going rancid too quickly. Let me know if you try it or if you have any other questions!
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique thanks so much!
Thank you for this video. I love making B-butters and soapsI. I may just try this.🥰
Please do! Let me know what you think! 🤗
Thank you for sharing. It’s awesome to share!! 🙏 🙏
I would love it if you are willing to share any recipes for curly hair products. (My partner has curly hair)
I am working on a shampoo bar for curly hair that I hope to share soon. Also I am working on testing a co-wash that would be great for curly hair.
Thanks for watching!!
Thanks. Can’t wait to watch and try it 🙏
Thank you for sharing. I just subscribed to your videos. It was great!
Thanks for subbing Carol! I'm so happy you are here!! 🤗
Do you use fragrance oils or just essential oils or both
I use both. I use essential oils only for face products, deos and shampoo bars. but for lotion type products and soaps I use both.
Looks lovely. If you Master Batched this Butter. Would you store it in the fridge or just on the shelf?
This is actually something I am planning on doing very soon! I personally would set it on my shelf for storage. But..I don't have a fridge to put it in so I don't store anything in there (other than my frozen goat's milk and tallow). My storage room also stays quite cool, around 58-65 usually so that helps with my storing. If I had a room that stayed in the 70s or so I would maybe rethink that and purchase a fridge for storing my oils and whatnot. If you try this let me know how it goes!!
Where can i get the recipe in writing. I am from Namibia. Please.
the recipe is in the description
I thought the butters had to be cooked first before blending.
if by cooked you mean where you gently melt them and then quickly cool them then yes and no. if you butters come to you grainy -yes, if they come to you nice and soft with no graininess, I see no reason to do it. I am gently melting them in this process so that also helps with that
Nice!You definately love doing this!Another benefit is that you get to exercise..
Most definitely!😆
Do you typically use preservative? Great video.
Hi! Thanks for your comment. I do not use a preservative for this as there is no water in the formula and there is also very little chance of water being introduced.
I have a question ,Do you make soap,lipbalm?
yep - I make everything - just ask my husband!! He keeps saying "I thought you were going to downsize" 😂
Thank you so much for this recipe it’s the best, I will try to make it at home
Most welcome 😊 Hope it all goes well for you!!
Do you use unrefined or refined butters? Thanks!
I normally use refined for the smell, but have recently started using a bit of unrefined shea. cocoa butter is a pretty much given it will be refined, everything smells like chocolate otherwise LOL (I do have a bit for those very few times I want a chocolate scent - perfect in certain lip balms)
300 subscribers? That will go up quickly! You’re amazing and REAL ❤️. I didn’t read all the comments so I apologize if someone already asked this but does this recipe ship ok without melting during these hot summer months?
Hi Rose! Thank you for your sweet words!💖💖💖 - for shipping - that is a hard no, LOL - this is pretty heat sensitive. Outdoor shows in the summer, no, shipping in the summer, no - but I have had success shipping in the winter. I am going to work on having a second formula that is more heat stable next year (I hope). I love this one so much I hate to change it, but I do loose sales due to not being able to ship in the summer🤔
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique Thanks again! I completely understand not wanting to change your recipe as I have one of those too ;)
