And she answered every single question in the comments👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I try 😀
Thank you so much for sharing a recipe with olivem 1000. Not many recipes out there with this emulsifying wax.
You’re welcome!
I also shared another emulsified body butter with BTMS50 of you want to give it a try:
diycosmetica.com/silky-smooth-emulsified-body-butter
Hello, I truly appreciate you for your generosity and kindness, keep doing what you do, thankyou!
Thank you so much 😊
Love it! I make a Ayurvedic hair butter that melts in the summer months. I’m going to learn how to make emulsified butters
Let me know how it works out.
Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity of sharing your recipe ! Im just getting started and its so hard to find good recipes i cant wait to make yours !
Thank you for your kind words 🙏
Just try this formula, the skin feel is amazing! Great slip too! Love! Thank you for sharing!!❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
luv your recipe - I also add cetly alcohol when I make emulsified butters- it makes it feel like the expensive butters sold at department stores
Thank you 😊
I agree I love the silky texture Cetyl alcohol adds to the final product. I add it many times to body and hair products.
I shared another emulsified body butter with Cetyl alcohol:
diycosmetica.com/silky-smooth-emulsified-body-butter
Do you have to let the product sit out for 24-48 hours before putting it into your final container so it can reach it’s final form or can I use right away?
I personally don’t let creams sit for 24-48 hours. Once I add phase C I leave the cream for 5-6 hours not longer, and then put it into a container.
If it was a body wash I would let it sit for 12 hours but with creams and lotions they have their final consistency after less time (normally, of course some ingredients can get to the final consistency after more time).
If you do let it sit for 12-48 hours - make sure to cover the beaker once the cream has cooled down to room temperature.
Great formula! Can I use Cetyl alcohol instead of xanthan gum ti help stabilize the emulsion? Does olivem 1000 soap up and is there an oil amount we have to use with it? I know some emulsifiers can only accept up to 25% oils in the formula
Hi,
You can replace some of the butters with Cetyl alcohol for more silky texture, I would reduce the Shea butter to 9% and replace the remain 3% with Cetyl alcohol.
Olivem1000 has more soapy effect than other emulsifiers, you can swap it with Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, which has much less the soapy effect and can also emulsify high % of oils.
You can also use Montanov™ L instead of the Olivem1000.
Montanov™ L can emulsify up to 50% oils (some suppliers indicate it can emulsify up to 60% oils), it has a much lighter texture than other emulsifiers and it is stable in wide range of pH levels (3-11) and it also has moisturizing properties.
I love it ❤
It looks nice
Thank you 😊
Lovely receipe. What can i add in place of an emulsifying wax..anything which could be readily available at home. Thanks.
In any emulsion you must use emulsifying wax to bind water and oils together.
You can read more about it here:
diycosmetica.com/how-to-make-a-basic-lotion-cream
You can replace the emulsifying wax I’ve used (olivem1000) with another kind of emulsifying wax such as BTMS, Polawax, Ritamulse SCG, Montanov 68…. Check with your cosmetic’s supplier for different kinds of emulsifying waxes and decide which one you prefer.
Fantastic, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Hallo, thanks for sharing, It's nice and I want to try the recipe, If I may ask kindly, can I substitute cocoa butter with mango butter, will the consistency of the cream still be the same as that made with cocoa, I want. mine just to be exactly like you made😊hoping to hear from you, thanks again!
Hi, yes you can replace the cocoa with mango butter but take into consideration that mango is much softer than cocoa so you’ll still have thick and dense emulsified body butter but a bit less than the original recipe.
I also uploaded another recipe for emulsified body butter if you want to try for next time :)
diycosmetica.com/silky-smooth-emulsified-body-butter
I love it, weldone, can this lighten up the skin
Thank you! If you want to have a lightning effect you can add turmeric extract (I would add 1-2% turmeric extract and reduce this amount from the distilled water), or you can use turmeric infused oil similar to this recipe:
diycosmetica.com/turmeric-face-wash-with-polysorbate-80
Wow! Can you please make videos on cleansing balm?
Sure, there are some videos on the way, after I’ll finish editing them, I’ll make a cleansing balm. Thank you for the suggestion!
How was the rub in time like? Any soapy effect?
I love the texture of the body butter
If I understand correctly your question - it absorbs quickly into the skin, no soapy or draggy feeling when applied into the skin. It is rich and more dense than body lotion but not greasy or heavy as regular body butters.
How long does it take to double boil both Phase A and Phase B? Should I take them both out when Phase A is completely melted?
Depending on your emulsifying wax, different emulsifying waxes have different melting point.
If you have a thermometer you can let both phases reach 75 degrees Celsius, and leave them at this high temperature for 20 minutes. If you don’t have a thermometer, wait till phase A is completely melted and give it a few minutes to ensure everything is melted.
Hi thank you for sharing your recipe, how do you adjust the ph level if necessary?
Hi, I have written a post about PH adjustment with all the information:
diycosmetica.com/how-to-adjust-the-ph-level-in-cosmetics
Thanks for sharing. Can I use Kokum butter instead of cocoa butter ?
Yes 👍
I love it! I love body butters because of the hardness but I add a good amount of shea butter and so it makes it grainy during the hot season. For that, I've been playing around with emulsified body butters but can't seem to make it hard enough to fit a deodorant tube (which is my goal). Do you have any tips?
I've tried adding stearic acid, cetyl alcohol, guar gum and beeswax with the emulsifier (montanov 68).
I know it's hard to tell without the entire formula but it was my first formula I attempted so I dont know if it's worthy of writing down because I didn't like the feel. It felt gummy!
Thank you!
Hey! From my experience montanov68 is a very light emulsifying wax, it won’t harden the cream enough.
If you want the body butter to be solid what I would recommend is to make a body butter bar which you can place in a deodorant container and use it similar to lip balm but on your body.
I’ve shared a recipe for this lotion bar with butters and oils:
diycosmetica.com/lotion-bar
It’s a great bar that replaces the body butters or emulsified body butters.
Another thing you can do is use waxes with higher melting point, those will harden the product more than beeswax.
You can check this post here with many options for waxes you can use:
diycosmetica.com/waxes-in-cosmetics
When working with Shea butter if you want to avoid the graininess you can place the product in the fridge immediately once you’ve poured it. This usually helps to make a smooth product, or you can lower the amount of Shea butter and use mango butter instead.
I’m sure if you’ll try the lotion bath you’ll like it, it’s a perfect replacement for body butters and easier to apply or carry with you.
please write down the specific ratio of how many grams for each substance so that everyone can do it...thanks if you can share...wish you a lot of health
You have the recipe with all the information written here:
diycosmetica.com/emulsified-body-butter
If the PH were off, how would you adjust it?
Hi, you have that information here:
diycosmetica.com/how-to-adjust-the-ph-level-in-cosmetics
I've been testing out an emulsified body butter recipe and find that the texture is just too rough and another batch had too many bubbles. I'm finding it to be a waxy texture. Could it be that I have too much emulsifying wax??
Which emulsifying wax are you using?
Some emulsifying waxes can have a draggy consistency in the final product.
Lately I’ve been using Glyceryl Stearate Citrate and I feel it gives a lighter feeling in the skin. I’ve use it in this body butter:
diycosmetica.com/skin-food-body-butter
The bubbles can be a result of over whipping the butter.
@@diycosmetica I use BTMS-50 at this moment. I'm going to keep experimenting! Thanks for sharing!
Can i add ipm for increasing absorbtion?
If you use Isopropyl myristate as an emollient you need to adjust the formula accordingly.
Can this be used for an eczema prone skin by replacing tea tree essential oil as fragrance oil please ?
For a sensitive skin with eczema I would probably skip the essential oil (or fragrance oil) and instead of them I’ll add echinacea extract or ivy leaf extract- both can help with eczema.
Can we use emulsifying wax NF instead of yours?
In theory you can use different kind of emulsifying wax. Please take into consideration that each emulsifying wax has different properties and can result in different texture / viscosity. I wrote about it here:
diycosmetica.com/how-to-make-a-basic-lotion-cream
Hi! Do you have any body butter emulsied with emulsifying wax nf?
Hi!
You can use emulsifying wax NF instead of Olivem1000.
I’ve shared 3 emulsified body butter recipes, you can use your chosen emulsifying wax in all 3 recipes, taking into consideration that the texture and viscosity will differ.
I also wrote a post regarding this issue with more info and a comparison between 4 different emulsifying waxes.
I’ll leave the links to all these posts here:

diycosmetica.com/emulsified-body-butter
Shelf life of this product?
And can i use phenoxyethanolninstead of cosguard?
Shelf life depends on your ingredients’ shelf life and your preservative.
If your ingredients have for example one year expiration date and your preservative can preserve for 5 month so your product will have 5 months shelf life.
You can use your preferred preservative, taking into consideration to use it according to the supplier instructions.
What type of thermometer are you using?
Digital laser one (etekcity is the name of the brand), I got it on Amazon years ago.
How do I add fragrance oil to already thickened body butter
You add the fragrance oil with phase C (cool down phase) and blend into the emulsion.
You have the method written here:
diycosmetica.com/emulsified-body-butter
Will this melt in summer months?
From my experience it will not melt during the summer, since there’s stearic acid and emulsifying wax, the texture will remain solid.
@@diycosmetica omg you actually responded!! Thank you so much 💕💕
Hello,can i add kojic acide? If yes how much?
You can, kojic acid is used in skin lighting creams. I would add only 1% of the kojic acid. If you add it to this recipe so 3g (and you’ll have to subtract 3g from the water phase so 174g of water).
Make a test patch before using all over the skin, some people are sensitive to this ingredient.
@@diycosmetica thks a lot for all🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 i will test it🙏🏾🙏🏾
Can you use normal tap water?
No. Tap water may contain substances or bacteria. You should use distilled water.
What can I use if I dont have an Immersion blender?
You can use an electric mixer (if you’re making small amount) or a hand mixer but make sure to mix for at least 2-3 minutes to get everything emulsified.
Can u share a video on emulsified hair butter?
Sure, I have some videos on the way and after that I’ll make an emulsified hair butter.Thanks for the suggestion!
Is possible to make with out water
Without water it will be a body butter.
I have uploaded a body butter recipe here:
diycosmetica.com/lotion-bar
@@diycosmetica yes but please can it protect the body butter from melting in hot temperature rooms...can it help the body butter to last longer for a year??
The recipe I’ve share will not melt in hot temperature (in room temperature, obviously if you leave it outside in the sun it’s different). I’m from Spain and our summer is very hot! We have 38-40 degrees Celsius and I have been using it during the summer without a problem.
If you want to make it and preserve it for a year, use a long term cosmetic preservative. I usually use natural preservatives that can preserve for 3-4 months. Also make sure your ingredients have at least one-year expiration date.
Can you just use cocoa butter, no shea?
I would replace the Shea butter with mango butter or kokum butter.
Morw info:
diycosmetica.com/emulsified-body-butter
@@diycosmetica i only have cocoa butter on hand most of the times because i use it in soap.
You could use just cocoa butter but cocoa butter is much harder than shea butter so you might end up with a very hard and thick product.
It would be better to replace some of the amount of Shea butter with cocoa butter and some with liquid oil.
If you’re making 300g you can use 14g cocoa butter (in total) and 9g liquid oil (in total).
I like it
Thank you 🙏
But won't the water spoil the butter ???
Emulsified means oils+water.
Otherwise it would be body butter and not emulsified body butter.
Emulsified body butters are not greasy and absorb to the skin rapidly. That’s the main difference between emulsified body butter and regular body butter.
Hallo, thankyou soo much for sharing, I really like this recipe and I would like to try it, If I may ask, can I use mango butter instead of cocoa butter, that is 36.g shea, 18g mango butter.Iam hoping to hear from you. Thanks again!
Hi I’ve answered you in the other question. Yes you can there will be a small difference but it would be very similar so no problem.
How greasy is it??
It is not greasy once absorbed into the skin. It is more like a dense body cream, since it’s combine water based ingredients it’s absorbs rapidly (which is different than only oil based body butters).
Can I exchange Olivem1000, for wax beads?
You can swap the olivem1000 with another emulsifying wax.
Wax beads will not emulsify the oils and water.
