I think this is a reason a lot of DIYers on youtube don't demonstrate actual skin feel in their body butter recipe videos. It looks simple and amazing in a jar with flower petals but upon skin application, you leave a greasy trail everywhere you go and everything you touch (people around you will know. lol). Also, you're going to want to wash your bed sheets more often. Emulsified body butter is the best. Thanks for making this video and sharing your experience.
You've reminded me of one of the first body butters I made, following a recipe I found online. It was all in volumes-cups of shea, cocoa, and jojoba. It whipped up beautifully, but it was SO oily and I had SO much of it, oh my heavens. If it hadn't been for the pride/excitement of making it myself I can't imagine I would've used it 😬
@@HumblebeeAndMe I think we've all been through that phase. You apply it on your skin whilst trying to convince yourself it's amazing cuz it's homemade and "all natural" and you're gonna love it no matter what. 😬
Could you please make a video on how to make body butter without melting and how to make it creamy...as well as the pros and cons of this method. Thank you. I absolutely love your content, written and video!!!
I've only read your articles before today, today I decided to watch a video or two! So glad I've found you! I love how you explain so much! I'm just learning now, and you make it so much more understandable. Thank you for sharing so much knowledge!
Hi Marie! Thanks for all the tips. Can you remelt a body butter formulation that has arrowroot starch in it and make an emulsifies body butter? I made my frost batch and do find it too greasy for my liking and wonder if I can rebatch it on some way.
I've found butters that are incredibly absorbent, but not hydrating at all. Not only do they not hydrate, they dry out the skin. Don't all those chemical additives, isopropyl, propane, methane, cetyl alcohol and others, dry out the skin? Aren't all those things something that should never be added because they are harmful to the body? Mango butter is a very expensive butter, what is its substitute? Which butter actually hydrates dry skin? What is cocoa butter? Tnx 🌷
Lol who's putting propane in your butters? And then you're also complaining about the price of a high quality ingredient like mango butter lmao. Lady, sounds like you're going to have to pick Do you want mango butter or DEADLY TOXIC CHEMICALZZZZZZ
Most "dry" oils absorb right into the skin, which is what you want. A mix of dry and heavy butter makes a very healthy for your skin butter. Those chemicals are what oils and butters are made of broke down to a single chemical. Everything, including you, is made up of chemicals. It's been a year, so hopefully you've learned a lot more by now.
Heyyy your videos and the way u explain the steps is too good thank u so much I just wanna know how to incorporate a powder like starch into the greasy butter
hey girl! so melt ur butter, double broiler, microwave, pan,etc 1: then stir a lil and put the powder in put in fridge until soft 2: whip it up with hand mixer or whisk(HAND POWERR/HAND WORKOUT 🏋️♀️) 3:good as new,yay!
Hi Marie, just wanted to let you know I am a new subscriber from Australia and just love all your videos. Its so hard to find content out there if you do want to start making your own home products and i’ve got to say your videos have been very helpful, so thank you! Just wondering if you could give any advice on making a face cream for my 9yr old who has sensitive itchy skin. Should i just pick one of your face cream recipes and maybe add some essential oils that could help into that recipe? Cheers Rachel
I just found your channel after making a batch of body butter. It feels greasy after trying it in its final solid form. so at this point can I add a powder to it or will it ruin the final batch. Thank u for all the info!
Hi Marie! Can avocado butter be hot processed? I have a recipe for a body butter using avocado butter cold processed but I’d like to try a hot processed with a little cocoa butter. See you at the conference
@@HumblebeeAndMe can you reheat body butter after adding arrow root? Mine came out way too greasy using shea and mango. Not sure if I added too much of the carrier oil. I used almond oil and vitamin E in the capsule form. Thank you for all the great videos!! ❤️🥰
I would love to, but I feel like I could only do that well if I lived in a place with a hot climate for a while (which I would also love!). Fingers crossed I can make that happen when international travel gets a bit easier :)
Lowering the melting point of the formulation can help, but it's also a good idea to remember that water and oil don't mix, so if your skin is very wet, the water and body butter won't be interested in hanging out. Happy making!
