Which do you prefer - classic body butters or modern hybrids? 😉 Try my DIY Body Shop Body Butter & Whipped Mango Body Butter Recipes here: wholeelise.com/blog/diy-body-shop-body-butter/
Definitely emulsified body butters - less greasy, plus adding in water (locking it into your skin) makes my dry legs happy! Will give your dupe a try, thanks 😊 Recently bought a coconut based silicone alternative so I may try adding a bit of that.
I prefer the modern hybrid but I’m willing to give your classic body butter recipe a try since I never knew to add arrow root powder to cut down on the greasy feel.
I havent tested those,but using only oils dont like very much.body butters are more greasy and with no water my skin doesnt hidrate.so i prefer emulsions.
I love whipped body butter, it feels much more wholesome. I have used Body shop before, it's more of a thick cream very moisturizing, but sadly it also has way too many chemicals that are not authentic.Thank you so much Elsie, will definitely try this out
First of all thank you soo much. This is one of the best recipes I have tried....♥️♥️I worked soo good and the moisture stays in my skin for maximum 3-4 days even after shower. There’s no oily residue that i hate and is soo light. Thank you elise🤩🤩
Elise previously created a very detailed & informative video where she formulated a foaming African Black Soap. During the video, as she does, was very detailed.
Thank you so much for this. The Body Shop has discontinued the original mango body butter and the new one may smell amazing but it doesn't work half as well. Thank you so much for this tutorial.
Dear Elise, I want to really thank you for your generous spirit in the way you share your ingredients and your suppliers. I have noticed that many who promote making their own skin care etc are no way near as generous. I pray that you will have Big success and continue to grow. I have only been following you for few weeks and I am so impressed. I will be making creams, soaps and shampoos for myself to save money and because I have no confidence in what I am buying in shops. I wonder if you can negotiate discounts from the suppliers you have mentioned ...just a thought... Thanks
Hi, thank you so very much for sharing your interesting & informative recipes with everyone. I recently subscribed so I decided to make your Whipped Body Butter for my Mom and she absolutely loved it! Please keep your incredible content coming. Elise, thanks a million for all that you do.
Elise, this was an amazing video, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have been making body butters, but some of my friends say how much they love the Body Shop Butters. I had read the ingredients that the Body Shop use and was amazed at all the "additives", so different from my body butters. I learnt so much from your in depth video, I will continue making the body butters the way I do, if my friends prefer the Body Shop products, so be it, the ingredients do not inspire me to replicate!! Thank you for your work.
This channel is amazing, I am in the process of starting my own skin care line for people with eczema, specifically gentle for black children and babies who suffer from it. Do you have any suggestions for DIY toners that are moisturizing?
I absolutely love your channel ❤! I follow you on all platforms and look forward to learning from you. You’re beautiful and very graceful. Thank you for sharing
Hi Elise, You’re doing a great job! Can I request you to please post a moisturiser for post menopausal women to use for intimate use. I have had an extreme dry and thin skin even in my young age and after a complete hysterectomy it has become worse. I can’t take hormones because of breast cancer family history. I’ll be extremely grateful if you can help.
lol i tried recreating this but i couldn't figure out how a body butter could look like that😂 anyways i love how you're always helping me figure this stuff out plus your aesthetic is top tier. I hope you're having a good year so far
Elise, this is the video I have been waiting for! I fool around with emulsified body butter ideas all the time but none of them ever compare to a true body butter. Thank you for this comparison, it is amazing!
Hello Elise Happy New Year, Glad to see you. I am glad too that you did a comparison of the butters. My preference would be the 2nd one the whipped butter. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Elise, I've just subscribed and really enjoyed watching this! Quick question (I'm sorry if I missed this in the video) how long does the 2nd recipe last before it spoils? Now I'm off to have a whole marathon on your channel 😂
Doing some research before I launch a skincare line and so glad I found you 😍 will definitely be checking out your website for all the resources there. Amazing work new subscriber here ❤️
Hello Elise so happy I found your channel, I am now a subscriber, 🤗 I wanted to ask canni leave out the cytel alcohol from the whipped body butter recipe but leave in the arrowroot powder to lessen the greaseness
Elise thanks for the great content. Can someone explain why the olive-derived emulsifier is used with the glyceryl stearate? Aren’t they both emulsifiers, thanks.
Hi Elise! 😊 I’m new to you videos but I love them. And had a suggestion on a video idk a diy on Josie Maran argan body butter, and gold bond radiance renewal whipped Shea butte.
Truly love and enjoy watching videos a lot and I would definitely be trying to make this emulsifying body butter myself thank you so much for sharing this video with us all if you don't mind me asking you can you also share diy recipe body shop style lip Butter too would love to see it.
I am absolutely in love with your channel and website. The products you have provided us with are just amazing! I have a question though. Why is it that when I double this recipe, why can't I get it to thicken completely like a single batch?
Hey ! great video! would love to try making these butters. One question though , how long will the traditional body butter last ? & how can we preserve it longer even in humid climates . :)
Hi there your videos are very pleasing and voice is soothing which is highly motivating to make these beauties. Can you also please show us how to imitate Egyptian magic cream? Thanks
Hi! First off I love your channel, great videos! Keep up the great work! I have two questions. You mentioned that some of us may not why not want silicones as an ingredient to be used…may I ask why not? What is it that people generally don’t like about silicones? Also I made your hair butter, and while it’s a great recipe I don’t like how to cocoa butter overpowers in the recipe, because sometimes I’d like to use essential or fragrance oils and play around with the different scents. My question is with the whipped body butter towards the end of this video, can I substitute the same amount of grams of cocoa butter with some more mango butter? Or is there a way to add in less cocoa butter or adjust the mango/cocoa butter ratio to where you can’t really smell it? I know these butters have different textures and properties, so will the recipe still work out the same and will it go whip well with the other ingredients like the arrowroot? P.S sorry for the long post, and thank you in advance! ❤️
I am so happy I stumbled onto your video! First, let me say that you are stunningly beautiful and a lady full of class ♥ I am sure going to love your videos in the future. I am going to make this butter today. I do have glyceryl stearate and PEG 100 as the CreamMaker brand that I would like to use in this recipe. What would the gram weight of that be or could I just use that instead of the glyceryl stearate alone? Thank you so much! ♥
U r amazing! Truly blessed to see your videos, also thanks for the great tutorials!! I tried this body butter, texture is amazing, but I need it more thicker consistency exactly like a butter, so can I reduce the water percentage?? If yes let me know how much? Thanks again
Hey Elise! Great video as always. I was curious if you have a rule of thumb when incorporating fruit extracts, particularly in the creme body butter? would love to experiment but not sure where to start/gage
DO you sell body butters? Or can you suggest a shop. I have bought the body shop body butter and loved how it made my skin feel but after hearing ingredients I was a bit shocked. I would love your suggestions if you don't sell yourself. Where can I get some now because they are not selling in US now and I need a good body butter! Not sure I want to make ha ha
Hey Elise, I loved this video! I personally prefer a body butter but have been started to formulate emulsified ones…I formulated with olivem 1000 (5%) and 25% oils (shea b, mango b, avocado, and coconut) and followed the rest of the recipe but for some reason mine comes out thick but feels dry (not moisturizing at all)…I’m not sure if it’s the emulsifier (maybe switch or lower the %) or if I should just stick to thicker oils but if you have any tips they are greatly appreciated ! Much luvvv
Fantastic video I think I'm going to start adding arrow roots to my body butters now. I also have been wanting to try a butter that has more mango butter and add mango fragrance. Can you reccomend a mango fragrance as I don't think you can get mango essential oil ?
Thank you! I wasn't able to find a mango fragrance that used essential oils in time for this video but I'm still on the hunt! If I find a good one, I'll update the recipe on my website to include it 😊
Hello sis am a new follower, I love everything you do About the emulsifies can I use normal Ewax and certryl alcohol Am not sure I can get the oda emulsifies here in Nigeria I will love to try it Thanks and God bless
You are very creative Elise, I would love to make my own products as well,by the way your hair looks nice,would you do a video on what products you use for your hair
Hi Mme , I wanted to know, instead of using cetyl alcohol, can I use sterile sodium chloride for body butter? What's the use/benefits in making butter with that? Is it mandatory to use It (cetyl alcohol or any others, like isopropyl...etc) Thank you for your answer.
Hello Elise. I've been using store bought moisturizers all my life, and in the recent past years Body shop butters. I started making pure wipped body butters at home as my skin is very dry and body shop or any other moisturizer was getting very expensive for me. And I must say this version of body butter was excellent. I tried the body butter with cetyl amd it is amazing. I think I like both, the whipped body butters as well as the one with cetyl. Just a small question, in our country (india) coconut oil is always liquid, hence can I increase the quantity of butters and what should be the %?

Classic body butters is always my go to.
Elise, please make Brazilian Bum Bum dupe video 😍
I love whipped body butter, it feels much more wholesome. I have used Body shop before, it's more of a thick cream very moisturizing, but sadly it also has way too many chemicals that are not authentic.Thank you so much Elsie, will definitely try this out
Chemicals? What ingredients do you refer to as chemicals in their butters?
Thank you so much. You are a great blessing to womanhood.
That she is ! 😍😍😍😍🤗❤️❤️❤️🥰
First, you are stunningly beautiful. Secondly, thank you. I love your content.

Which one? The Body Shop dupe or the whipped body butter?
Ahhhhh I got excited as soon as I saw this !!
Haha so glad! 😊
Elise, would you please do an informative video on African Black Soap? I’ve heard some critique on it and would be nice to hear your perspective 😊
She already has one
@@tirapatstew1355 she mention it, yes, but I haven't seen one yet with full description :)
Elise previously created a very detailed & informative video where she formulated a foaming African Black Soap. During the video, as she does, was very detailed.
@@KimberlyNYC Alrighty, I'll take a look.
I loooove your voice! U can talk me to sleep. It's so soothing. 😩😩♥️
Hello Elise, would you mind giving us a video detailing your hair routine? Your hair is beautiful!
Hello Elise. I enjoy your videos and this body butter looks sruuuuummy❤️💕. I can feel it pampering my skin already 👌
Aww absolutely! I was spoilt for choice with this one 😂
Thank you so much for this. The Body Shop has discontinued the original mango body butter and the new one may smell amazing but it doesn't work half as well.
Thank you so much for this tutorial.
Thanks for this video, I was in search of a emulsified body butter without PEG or any other synthetic ingredients!
Always a pleasure to see and hear you 🤗

Hi Elise,
You’re doing a great job! Can I request you to please post a moisturiser for post menopausal women to use for intimate use. I have had an extreme dry and thin skin even in my young age and after a complete hysterectomy it has become worse. I can’t take hormones because of breast cancer family history. I’ll be extremely grateful if you can help.
Ooooohhhh this looks amazing!
lol i tried recreating this but i couldn't figure out how a body butter could look like that😂 anyways i love how you're always helping me figure this stuff out plus your aesthetic is top tier. I hope you're having a good year so far
Elise, this is the video I have been waiting for! I fool around with emulsified body butter ideas all the time but none of them ever compare to a true body butter. Thank you for this comparison, it is amazing!
Haha yes they're definitely more like cousins rather than sisters lol. Sometimes it's best to see a side by side comparison, I'm so glad this helped 😊
Hello Elise
Happy New Year, Glad to see you. I am glad too that you did a comparison of the butters. My preference would be the 2nd one the whipped butter. Thanks for sharing.
Happy new year!
I really enjoy your recipes. Thank you for what you do!
Hi Elise, I've just subscribed and really enjoyed watching this! Quick question (I'm sorry if I missed this in the video) how long does the 2nd recipe last before it spoils? Now I'm off to have a whole marathon on your channel 😂
Haha that's great! The whipped butter can last up to 12 months - although I always run out before then 😅😊
Awesome, thank you ✨
I have to say this is pretty awesome!! Thank you so much, I really appreciate you 🙏

Elise thanks for the great content. Can someone explain why the olive-derived emulsifier is used with the glyceryl stearate? Aren’t they both emulsifiers, thanks.
Your channel is amazing! So are you ❤️
I tried this came out great but it turned hard, I think it's because I am in Canada and it's very cold. I will add more oils to make it softer.
Hi Elise! 😊 I’m new to you videos but I love them. And had a suggestion on a video idk a diy on Josie Maran argan body butter, and gold bond radiance renewal whipped Shea butte.

Elise, I am in love with this utter I think. I have to make it first. One quick question, can I use palm oil instead of cocoa butter?
Yes you can, just bear in mind that replacing an oil with butter will lead to a looser texture 😊
I love your channel!! Question, where did you get your containers from
I just love your videos 👏🏽😍😍
I am so happy I stumbled onto your video! First, let me say that you are stunningly beautiful and a lady full of class ♥ I am sure going to love your videos in the future.

Thank you for the recipe I just want to ask if I can save the butter in aluminum jar or it’s not safe for cream please answer me ❤️
Love your videos, where do you get the equipment from? such as the beakers, glass plates and stir sticks?
DO you sell body butters? Or can you suggest a shop. I have bought the body shop body butter and loved how it made my skin feel but after hearing ingredients I was a bit shocked. I would love your suggestions if you don't sell yourself. Where can I get some now because they are not selling in US now and I need a good body butter! Not sure I want to make ha ha
Please do a video on how to make mango butter
It would be interesting to use floral water instead of water 😊
And maybe a bit of turmeric for the color but not to much not to stain
I love whipped body butter
Nice I want to try this
Crazy question but would this be safe as a hair moisturizer??
Hey Elise, I loved this video!

Pls recreate strawberry body butter
Ms. Elise I was thinging about the ingredents and was wondering if you could use Silica in there as a natural silicone replacement?
Fantastic video I think I'm going to start adding arrow roots to my body butters now.
I also have been wanting to try a butter that has more mango butter and add mango fragrance.
Can you reccomend a mango fragrance as I don't think you can get mango essential oil ?
Thank you! I wasn't able to find a mango fragrance that used essential oils in time for this video but I'm still on the hunt! If I find a good one, I'll update the recipe on my website to include it 😊
Hello sis am a new follower, I love everything you do
About the emulsifies can I use normal Ewax and certryl alcohol
Am not sure I can get the oda emulsifies here in Nigeria
I will love to try it
Thanks and God bless
Hi Elisa
Thank you for your video
I have a question
My formula has tiny granules
,I think it is gms
Why it is not melted?
Amazing information! 🙏🏼
I was wondering if you kindly share a company or site where one can buy the raw materials
Nice one! Can you share a scalp moisturiser?
What can i use instead of xanthan gum?
You are very creative Elise, I would love to make my own products as well,by the way your hair looks nice,would you do a video on what products you use for your hair
Can I just use one emulsifier and get good turn out in recipe? Would you recommend using the 15g total emulsifier as in this recipe. If using one?
Please make satsuma scent ❤
We’re did you get your amazing dishes you measure from? They are fabulous can you post a link for them please!
Love it. Congratulation on monetization💗
Hi Mme , I wanted to know, instead of using cetyl alcohol, can I use sterile sodium chloride for body butter? What's the use/benefits in making butter with that? Is it mandatory to use It (cetyl alcohol or any others, like isopropyl...etc) Thank you for your answer.
Why would you think salt is a good substitute for cetyl alcohol??
Hi Elsie, what is an Olive derived emulsifing wax? Is it Olivem 300, Olivem 900 or Olivem 1,000?
Hi love. Love this channel. How to you print your lovely labels?
Plz make body shop body yogurt
Love this recipe! I want to add arrowroot for my formulations, any recommendations on which supplier I can purchase this from?
Heyy! actually I am unable to get leucidal liquid sf or preservative eco in my country what are the alternatives?
Any broad-spectrum preservative will work 😊
How about dehydroacetic acid or benzyl alcohol??
Hi.. can you try do loccitane product??
With the warmer weather approaching do you suggest using a emulsifying wax to keep your butter from separating.
Hello Elise. I've been using store bought moisturizers all my life, and in the recent past years Body shop butters. I started making pure wipped body butters at home as my skin is very dry and body shop or any other moisturizer was getting very expensive for me.
And I must say this version of body butter was excellent. I tried the body butter with cetyl amd it is amazing.

Just a small question, in our country (india) coconut oil is always liquid, hence can I increase the quantity of butters and what should be the %?
