How I make my Homemade Body Butter  

You can, it's just shea butter and some oils

​@@ludounknown384 Girl, no you can't. Those oils are not edible, and neither is the Shea Butter

​@@ludounknown384 And it literally has PIGMENT in it & fragrance.

What do you use for a carrier oil? Where do you purchase the rose hip oil? Thank you

I found a very simple one yesterday: 100 g shea butter. 50 g almond oil. Melt the shea butter carefully with the double boiler method. Let it cool down until almost cold, add the almond oil and some drops of essential oil you like and stir well with a spoon or whisk. It solidifies when it gets cold but it is whether too hard nor too soft. It is nourishing but not too greasy. I am using it for my hands and feet. Next time I will also try adding some aloe very gel to make it more hydrating. Maybe it will be necessary to keep it in the fridge afterwards. I hope it helps! ;)

Can we sell this ?

Same here! How much capital should we look at?

@@JOYCE_AVANZ as in money to run the business?

@@Rawbeauty15 yes ma

@@JOYCE_AVANZ I think it really depends on what your budget is or what you can afford at the moment! I’ve seen videos of people who started their business with less than $100 and other who started it with much more. Me personally I did spend more money because I wanted to make sure I had better quality things.

@@Rawbeauty15how much did it cost you to buy all the essential utensils, measuring instruments etc i make medicinal herbal oils for various ailments thanks

But that will decrease the shelf life..won't it?.....do we need to add preservatives then in it??

Shea

Exactly what I was thinking.

Exactly my issue. I only tried making one yesterday but still looking for answers

If oil is added it and it’s whipped it shouldn’t melt. Recheck your oil amount

Any recipes ?

Where is the recipe please?

Yeah, where?

Those colours are synthetic micas made in a lab. There are many natural colouring ingredients. Best to carry out research 🩷

What I’ve learned is you have to test with small amounts first. Start with 50/50 ratio - then go from there. Carrier oil is liquid at room temp (room temp depends on the temperature of your environment) so if you put too much your mixture won’t be stable - it will look oily (if that makes sense). Also, you don’t want it to melt as soon as you touch it either. I started with 35g shea / 65g oil and it was not the consistency I wanted when I was moisturising my skin. I’m going to try again today making a small amount 50g shea / 40g oil.

Thank you! 😊💜

@@YayaDIYCreations Oh no, thank you!! ❤️😁 very enjoyable video...and youre welcome 😊

Thank you! 😊

No not edible . You use either shea or cocoa butter . And can add Mango butter .

Put it in the fridge

Add beeswax to stop it from melting 1 - 2tbsp

Freezer for me quicker

No. It stays soft.

Same

Then don’t add it!

Same. Didn’t look smooth after. The pigment ruin it

You can use Beet powder for natural color change

Same!

Maybe use less carrier oil

😊💜

What mica you used,,😻​@@YayaDIYCreations

till it becomes a solid state almost but not quite

20mins - 25mins , shouldn’t be frozen solid (you should be able to press into it with your finger)

Cosmetic grade mica powder

Try 2oz of each carrier oil

@@marie-zz5kmOk Tysm!

​@@marie-zz5kmwhat type of oil to use as carrier oil?

Yes

@@fl33khidsha Thank you so much for replying me 🥺❤️

I like sweet almond oil as my carrier oil.

Looks like she just useing shea butter here to me but u can use any butter .. looks up benefits of each and pick favs. Shea butter has a nutty smell that some people don't like tho so a good alternative is kokun or mango butter if u want it scentless but shea butter is easier to work with and cut up because it softer. If the shea butter u get I refined it will have less of a smell but less of its natural nutrients that are good for ur skin.

I would not recommend adding glycerin to the moisturiser as it can speed up aging of the skin. Use as a mask for 10-20 mins and wash off.

​@@nananyanbait's body butter, like lotion. I don't think it's meant to be washed off

​​@@nananyanba I've never heard that about glycerin as it's in a ton of moisturizers. Where did you read that at?

@@summerrain6125 an article on Google 🙈 but you know what you never know nowadays lol

@@nananyanba thanks I'll have to research more

Pretty much oils that are not essential oils, so Olive oil, almond oil, jojoba, castor oil, argon oil etc

What about coconut oil

@@sepieofficial yes coconut oil counts too but be careful with it cause it can cause breakouts for sensitive skin

Carrier oils penetrate skin and hair barrier. There’s sealing and Carrier oils . Sealing oils seal in moisture like after putting leave in conditioner in hair you seal with a sealing oil .

Yes but you can freeze or chill it again.

Shea butter

Not after oils are added and it's whipped together no.

Ok perfect I want something the consistency of bath and body works shea body lotions, and that stays that consistency. Any tips or recipes?

Yes it will get a little harder. The more hard butters, the harder it will be.

It’s better without

Thanks ​@@HaileyMarieGrande

I'm alive (Celien Dion)

Yes but you can freeze or chill it up again.

Unlimited, because it does not have water in it so it cant expire

​@@ludounknown384 oils can definitely get rancid and expire

😅😂 I understand that. Especially when it smells so good.

no it's usually smth like cocoa butter, shea butter, mango butter and even kokum butter

@@anixa003oh ok thanks!🙏

​@@anixa003hey would it not work if I use actual butter?

🙌🙌 gives it that nice soft dry finish

@@candicechruscial8885 it truly does and keeps it from melting too. And it rubs on nicely.

Preservative not necessary. Just needs to be stored in a cool place

Exactly... I was thinking the same thing

The butter that we spread on bread? 😮

@@catalinariverra yup

Whole butters. Ie, shea butter, coconut butter, etc.

@@Susanisalwaysme I know, it was a joke
