Hi Cory, I'm Donna, one of your patreon members. I purchased a jar of your Chocolate Orchid body butter. I cannot tell you how excited I am and honored to wear the luxurious and most delicious scent I've ever smelled in the body butter line and I've tried plenty. I've had it on for about 20 minutes now and I am wowed over it. Absolutely Beautiful and amazing. I sent this same message to you, but I just had to share this with everyone. Worth every penny. I'm a Registered Nurse and can't wait to share it with my co-workers on tomorrow. Soft, Supple, Moisturizing, I can go on forever. It's just what the Doctor ordered. Hugs, Kisses and Salute for a Job well done.
Donna, I am so glad you love the chocolate orchid body butter, it really is a unique and beautiful product! Thank you also for your pledge and support of my small business!
I like your products because you research and put your own spin on it until it's perfect. I put 100% trust in what you do because I do a lot of research too and yours is the best by far. Thank you for sharing your recipes and selling your products.
This was a great video, but next time, can you please list all the ingredients and tools you used in your description section please? Your voice is soothing and you explained everything so well. Thank you💛
I am so glad that I landed on this recipe, I have been making butters with oil and it ends up harder I really wanted a recipe that could make it softer
This is a totally different take on body butter I’m glad that I watched this. I have the same issue with body butters that you do, I hate the oily residue that doesn’t get soaked into your skin so my fix is arrowroot powder to absorb extra oils and it works great, but I’d like to try 5his and compare.Thank you for sharing and I love how there’s so many different ways to make some thing with the same end result! I love your videos and thank you for always sharing your wisdom with us!
Because of this video and your reverse swirl, I was inspired to follow you and became a patron! Thanks for your work and for loving other crafters enough to want to share your knowledge! Many blessings 🙏
Candice, thank you so much for watching my videos and thank you so much for becoming a patron! I am so glad you are finding my content useful! Keep me posted on your creations!
Hi Cori, Thank you for sharing your amazing recipes. So I tried this recipe last night, but I’ll have to do it again, mine never did thicken up like a butter it’s more like a lotion, which isn’t a total fail, I just poured it into a pump bottle I had on hand😊 My mistake was not reading through the tutorial and making sure that the temperature of water and oils were within 10 degrees🙄 But I have a question before attempting to makes this again, in the printed tutorial you instruct heating the butters together with the wax and stearic acid, but in this video you heat them separately; does it make a difference?
Hi Kimberly! There are two tutorials on this same formula on my campaign. This video is the older version. It’s okay to do it the way I demonstrated here and it should still turn out nice and thick. The revised version matches the directions you read. Have a look at the revised video for a visuay
I made your recipe and you truly do have the best recipe. It's unbelievable how it sinks right in and leaves my skin feeling velvety.... May I ask where you find unrefined mango butter?
Thank you! I love it too, lol!! I have never bought unrefined mango butter just unrefined Shea. I actually use refined Shea in this recipe now all the time 😊
Wow! Thank you SO much for this video! The greasiness is why I never liked body butters, so I'm super excited to try this! Do you find that the scent of the shea butter competes with the fragrance oil you put in? Thanks again!!
You are welcome! I think you are really going to like this recipe. The shea butter does compete a little bit, but not enough to bother me. Especially if you choose warm fragrances like vanilla.
More of a body cream and not butter (as body butters are thick & heavy on the oil feeling for a reason) but it looks fantastic. Appreciate you sharing your craft and the body cream recipe looks amazing.
I love this method. Texture/quality has been my main focus!! Can’t wait to try this. Where do you get your tools from? The thermometer and measuring buckets?
I had always thought body butter was made without water. I love the thick consistency and non greasiness! I have never been able to make body butter that wasn’t greasy! Have you tried this recipe with any different butters? Thank you for the tutorial 🙂
I use cornstarch, rice bran oil etc but is looking for a thickener and something to hold up better during the summer months. Can I use stearic acid instead of water, ewax and preservative?
Thank you for the recipe on your Patreon page. I made this body butter and absolutely LOVE it as do my friends. I scented it with Nurture Soap’s Mint Chocolate and it smells and feels amazing!
Lynnie Einerson the ingredients used are to make a Lotion, not a Body Butter. My body Butter is Non Greasy, 🌱Vegan Friendly & Contains Ecosoya Q210 Soy Wax + More.
Thank you for posting this! I absolutely love this body butter! I also made sure to order some of the Nature's garden Chocolate Orchid Fragrance and it is the BEST!
I made a batch of this today and it is FANTASTIC. Now, assuming this body butter was made correctly and Optiphen was used, what would be your estimate on shelf life? Thanks
Thank you for sharing I absolutely love your video. I have made body butter before but did not like the greasiness. I am definitely going to try your recipe
I can’t wait to try your recipe because I have tried Kim’s I love hers a lot. Your sounds amazing. I’m trying it tomorrow 🥰 by the way I am in your Patreon’s sign up
This video is perfect timing , I’ve been doing soo much research on body butters and almost felt defeated to do them because of how complex some of the videos are but yours is sooo simple . Thank you.
Please help! I have an already made base cream ..do I melt the Shea butter and add to the base cream and whip ? Or do I whip the Shea butter a little bit then add the base cream and whip
This looks so lovely! I just want to try it. I’m a bit confused on the naming of it as body butter vs thick cream considering it has water which makes it lotion based. I thought body butters had no water base and that was the difference between the two. Makes no difference to me as I think this looks just so lovely. But correct me if I’m wrong please on this. Thanks for sharing your incredible talent. I just love watching your vids. You’re amazing.
I agree with you 100%. An Emulsified Body Butter is basically a Body Cream and you make it as thick as you like...or water it down more, and make a Body Lotion. I could never stand any of those "body butters" that were just oil/fat.
NatalieVegas1965 yes Body Butters don’t contain water but lotions do. My body butter isn’t greasy which is why I Sell a lot of it, you can add Ecosoya Q210 Soy Wax as it’s the only Soy Wax Dermatology Tested Safe for All Skin Types and the only one to use In Skincare Products, Plus it makes the Safest Candles and Melts
By adding the steric acid and emulsifying wax does keep the body butter from changing its texture after a while or did you just add it because of the water
Great video and love the way the product looks. I've joined your patreon group and can't wait to make this body butter. Thanks for all the great videos
Hi! I got the full recipe over on your Patreon and I've been experimenting with it. I'm wondering if I can also whip this instead of using the stick blender? Thank You!
Can you talk about the legal side of this ? What kind of insurance do you need to sell candles and body butters ? I’m really intrigued right now ! Everything you create looks so amazing
Such an awesome product. I love your videos so much I became a Patreon and will be making this beautiful product soon. Is it ok to use a mica in it for coloring?
I want to buy the recipe, but I would like to know if I can add micas to give color, or some natural pigment, for example the ones I use for soaps. Thanks ☺️
Hi Destinee, yes adding water to the butters helps this formula to absorb into the skin rather than sit on the skin. It leaves your skin hydrated without a greasy, heavy feel. Using an oil or butter based product with no water has lots of benefits as well, but it has a much different skin feel.
I made this the other day and it turned out great- did a small batch. Today I made the 5 lb. batch and after 1.5 hours it is still like very runny lotion. Any ideas as to why?
Hey , thanks for the awesome recipe for body butter. I want to make and ship to my sister who stay in another city but now it’s very hot weather in India so it will get melt by hot weather? Is it safe to courier it ?
This recipe looks amazing and so much more simple to do and yet the outcome is better than any I have seen and tried. This is next on my agenda, thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks for posting. I make a body butter blend that I love, but want to start using water because water adds more moisture. Where did you get that piping bag?!
It’s a shame that the link provided doesn’t work anymore because the account was terminated😦 i’m assuming we have to join the patron if we want the recipe?
Hi Susan I signed up for these lotion lessons yesterday, but I got a message saying that I will be charged again in November and I haven't been able to access it anyways. Isn't the payment for a full month's access? What can I do to start the lessons in November? I also wanted to know if the lessons you are providing are including the lotion you are showing over here on this video or for different recipes, because I was mainly interested in this recipe...
Hi there, I am not doing a lotion class anytime soon. November’s class is a bath melt class. However the recipe for this lotion is published on my Patreon campaign. Can you please message me on Patreon so I can see what’s going on with your account. I don’t know your profile name over there. Also, you get charged as soon as you pledge because you get immediate access to everything. Then if you decide to stay you get charged on the first of the month every month.
i live in India......and in India we cal this cream or creme..... lotion is far more liquidy and they come in bottles while i have seen these in jars like this and these are called cream here.....but i have not seen much of body butters used in my country because India is situated in the tropics so we either have very hot summers in the coastal, southern and inner parts of India and very hot summers and very cold winters in the northern part of India..... so in all regions in India this is great because it hydrates the skin..... but sometimes we need it a bit thicker like an actual butter without water added........but i think that using any kind of starch, like arrowroot powder or corn starch (in India we call this corn flour and not corn starch so i looked into it and well i think that i will call it corn starch here and not corn flour because corn flour means corn starch to us living in India but it could mean something else in other parts of the world) to make it less greasy while applying on the skin and it doesn't require any preservatives but yes an anti oxidant is a must to prevent the oils and butters from going rancid......but if you know that the person you are giving the body butter to is going use it in the shower after a shower or bath, i think that you still need to use a preservative in this case as well because they could add water into it if they use wet hands......
Carrie Thomas I am not sure if they are approved by the FDA as cosmetics are not required to be approved. The stearic acid I use is vegetable stearic from Brambleberry.com
Stearic acid is FDA approved for food use (most comply found in chewing gum). It’s used in many cosmetic formulations as it builds a barrier to prevent water loss from the skin.
Yes, it wouldn't feel greasy because it is an hyrous body butter. If you were making the tradition body butter, that is without the water then you would have to add the arrowroot powder to lessen the greasiness but in my experience it still too greasy for my taste. I prefer the hyrous body butters. Soft, fluffy and nice 😌
@@shatirabarry You can use whatever oils and butters you like. Just make sure your amounts match what is required. I also make one that doesn't require water or a preservative.
I noticed in some of your other videos you like to kick the scent up a notch. Is it better to go lighter on fragrance oils when it comes to a product such as this? Or, should you just follow manufacturer instructions? Thanks.
kevin byars So on anything cosmetic you want to follow usage rates exactly. Following manufacturers usage rates for leave on products will ensure that that it is skin safe. If you use percentage higher than the listed usage rate for skin, you make the product potentially unsafe
I love how you gave the person you were inspired by credit!

I 've been making these butter creams now for years and I like the fact that they do not melt at all in hot weather!
They hold up pretty well!!

@@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany thank you! One more question. Could the steric acid be substituted with arrowroot powder?
@@dlatrice2649 no they do very different things.
What’s everyone complaining about at the end looks like a butter to me ..definitely trying this
I had always thought body butter was made without water. I love the thick consistency and non greasiness! I have never been able to make body butter that wasn’t greasy! Have you tried this recipe with any different butters? Thank you for the tutorial 🙂
Add organic arrowroot powder. You’ll be amazed at the non greasy texture
I use cornstarch, rice bran oil etc but is looking for a thickener and something to hold up better during the summer months. Can I use stearic acid instead of water, ewax and preservative?
Should i keep it in the fridge in the summer time ? I bought everything and will be doing it today I'm super excited
I was wondering how it holds up in warm temperatures
If I wanted to add oils, apricot, rice bran, or another can I add it to the heated oils? Will it change to outcome of the butter/lotion?
The more oil you add the more of a lotion texture it becomes rather than a whipped butter.

WOW It really looks awesome it was so soupy at first. It looks creamy. This takes time to do but it's worth trying.

Ohh my God you are my new mentor, for how long does the preservative do it's job to prevent bacteria?
Can you substitute another butter for shea? If so, which ones, also will it change the outcome? Or can I use all mango butter? I am now a member!!
You could use all mango if you wanted.
Can this be used on your hair as well, as the ingredients are not to far off as hair butters?

💖💞So nice! I absolutely love a great body butter. I prefer it over lotion any day! I bet these two smell amazing also!
Thank you! They smell so good!
I also use distilled water in mine. Everyone tells me that my body butter is awesome. This recipe is very similar to mine :). Best of luck!
It really is the best body butter!!
Do you use and other oils
@@shatirabarry You can use whatever oils and butters you like. Just make sure your amounts match what is required. I also make one that doesn't require water or a preservative.
I noticed in some of your other videos you like to kick the scent up a notch. Is it better to go lighter on fragrance oils when it comes to a product such as this? Or, should you just follow manufacturer instructions? Thanks.
kevin byars So on anything cosmetic you want to follow usage rates exactly. Following manufacturers usage rates for leave on products will ensure that that it is skin safe. If you use percentage higher than the listed usage rate for skin, you make the product potentially unsafe
Can the recipe alone be purchased?
Beautiful
This was amazing. Thank you.
Amazing body butter recipe! Thank you!
What would be the approx expiry time/date for such lovely body butter please?
Thank you for sharing 🥰
