Making my Favorite Whipped Body Butter WITH RECIPE!!!! 

good tip!

So happy this recipe works for you. It was definitely my best selling body product! Lavender is another fragrance that works well in this, not sure if you have tried it or not. 🙂 Best of luck if you do decide to sell!

Hi,what type of creamy coconut fragrance did you use as I also cannot find the citrus Bonsai.

do you have any DIY videos?

I'm so happy you loved it. Take the leap and try to make some yourself!❤️

You are so welcome!

How much arrow you used? the same she used ?

Thanks! Not a BCr though lol I'm in Ontario. Love BC though! 😉

i was wondering about the scale-down as well. In your scaled-down version, how much arrowroot powder do you use?

@@mrscharity, when I calculated the ratio, it's about 2.125 tsp of arrowroot for one serving from her 11 :)

@@candyrainrnt Thank you so much!! I’ve been using too much and that explains why it doesn’t feel right when you first rub (the butter) on.

@@mrscharity you're welcome! I recommend putting the arrowroot during the heat phase. Otherwise, I find that it tends to clump when you put it in after it cools down. Even with the sifting. Good luck, Hun!

It may be a refrigeration issue. Watch again how I Put it in and out of the freezer between whisks. Also, after I fill the jars, they do go into the fridge to set up. I have never had an issue with melting after that. Don't overdo it on the arrowroot powder.

@@kathleenj1500 Thank you very much, I'll try again.

I wouldn't worry about shelf life as you'll use it before it turns. I have used my jarfor months. This is not pumpable, so don't put it in a pump container. 🙂

Good luck in making a batch! I haven't had much of an issue with melting, but it will melt in extreme heat. As you said most of us have AC so not an issue. When I made batches of this for sale, I always put them into our extra refrigerator just to be sure they didn't melt. As for altering the recipe to address this issue, I have no clue what advice to give you. So sorry. I always feel that a jar of this would be used up before melting becomes much of an issue. I also never shipped during summer months. I took pre-orders for fall. Hope this helps somewhat!❤️

@@kathleenj1500 thank you i think following your recipe ill be just fine! Your a sweetheart for helping people and its so appreciated !!!

Some people add in a hard butter like cocoa butter or less oil. I have tried my own formula as well as this one and they held up. You can also let your customers know that this is a natural body butter and it may melt in transit and if that happens, they should put it in the fridge for a few minutes and it will solidify.

@amy sadfir ... You can substitue a portion of harder butter to the recipe...or you can incorporate beeswax to prevent melting as well...

​@@tabathaspencer2127 I was wonderiing abt add beeswax as well. Other recipes I've seen had beeswax them. Not so much that it makes it stiff, but enough that it doesn't melt. I live in a very hot climate and would be afraid of it melting. Watching this video had me wanting to reach in to grab some of it. I can't handle dry hands, so I go through a lot of lotion. I love pretty smelling, creamy lotions. I am going to make some of this this week.

You should do your own research, however I bought quite a bit from Bramble Berry, as well as Voyageur Soap and Candle .

Thank you so much!

Just be careful on your usage. You don't want to color your skin 😉

Could you put polysorbate in it with mica?

Enjoy!

I'm not too sure. Unfortunately, you'll have to do some research on that one 😉

The company I bought these from no longer carries them unfortunately.

I am no longer in sales. So sorry. You will have to rewatch the video , pad and pen in hand 😉

Most of the time , I bought the organic coconut oil from Costco. I have no experience with unrefined 🤷‍♀️

Mine lasted several months out of the fridge. Taking into account that it was never warm enough to melt either(we keep our home cool). But I feel most people will use the entire jar before it would turn.

I have never used a preservative, so couldn't advise you, sorry. The shelf life is really long, especially if you refrigerate. If making a small batch, you will use it up before you have to worry about it going bad

@KathleenJ Thank you! Was just wondering on shelf life myself, some add a touch of VitE do they not? I can’t wait to try with the arrowroot!

The company I purchased them from no longer carries them unfortunately.

Thanks. The seller who sold those jars, no longer carries them unfortunately.

The business that carried them, no longer does. So sorry. Try The Jar Store. They may have something similar.

@@kathleenj1500 thank you

The company that carried them no longer has them. Sorry 🤷‍♀️

They do not carry that jar type anymore. You may possibly find something similar from The Jar Store online.

I used many different ones,but mainly Bramble Berry and Voyageur Soap and Candle

@@kathleenj1500 thank you

I know! They're perfect! Unfortunately that company no longer has them 😕

I used a large piping bag. I would hesitate to use mica for color as it could transfer to the skin as well.

I honestly don't remember what I priced them at. And you would have to price out your containers, ingredients and time to get your sales price. All would depend on todays prices of course, so I can't be of help unfortunately.

I put mine in the refrigerator to solidify a bit. When I was selling, I would keep them all in there until I was ready to ship. For personal use, once set up, I kept the jar out. They were fine. 🙂

They are no longer available at the company I purchased from unfortunately.

Just scale down. If you're making 1/2 a batch, use half as much and so on, down to your size batch.

It absorbs superbly! Because the recipe uses arrowroot powder, it cuts down enormously on that greasy , oily feeling you can get from other body butters. Enjoy!

It's hard to tell unless I were to watch you unfortunately. Please just follow the instructions in the video to a tee and it should turn out fine. I have had hundreds of people try it and love the recipe. No problems.

The company I bought them from no longer carries them unfortunately. Sorry!

I guess it would be an experiment. For example, if you are making one jar only, maybe try one teaspoon of powder. You'll be able to adjust it from there.

@@kathleenj1500 Thank you so much!

If you're making it to sell then you have to, yes. It's required.

All I can suggest is for you to play with your recipes in small batches. Once you find one that works, stick with it. Best of luck!

For sensitive skin, I recommend going fragrance free. As for a men's fragrance, I really can't say. Fragrance is a very personal thing and varies by each individual.

@@kathleenj1500 Thanks for the reply. I was just seeing if you knew any essential oils that are unisex. Thanks

Tiffany..... Cedarwood, pine, tobacco notes are ones that men tend to like. I suggest you smell the men's collection at bath and body works then check the fragrances listed. It'll help you find one's you like. When formulating... I buy the dollar tree travel jars the really small ones plus a makeup remover cotton. Then dip a toothpick in the oil and wipe in the cotton pad. Then the next one and so on. Put the lid on for a few minutes. Then test the scent. Adding more.... once I gave something I really like Then I create using a full drop. Not dropper full. When ready Then scale up. I like Cedarwood and lime. 20 drops Cedarwood and 7 drops of lime. But that me.... also check Ulta and Sephora. Also smell all the candles... they usually give the blends.... Join the soaping groups on FB and and reddit. Hope this helps. I don't sell, just a heavy gift giver. And fundraiser with student groups.

@@abbylynn8872 great thanks. I'll try this out. 😊

Another viewer made it and reviewed it here in the comments! Her and her hubby loved it!
