I just started my business on instagram and I only have gotten one order so far which im extremely thankful for and she said she loved it but i’m hoping to have more orders in the future!
I am a business owner and the sole formulator of my natural skincare business. I have wonderful recipes, but this one is great! Thank you so much for sharing :)
Since your a formulator, just curious why use an emulsifier if your not using water. Wouldn’t stearic acid be better. It has a much higher melting point and it’s a stabilizer. It’s an emollient and a lubricant.
Jessica, I tried your recipe and omg omg, I'm in love with your recipe. Its absolutely amazing. I love how it how it feels on my skin and non greasy. I give this a A++++. thank you for sharing this recipe, This is the best body butter I have ever made, thanks to you. May God continue to bless you girl.
Jessica, this was awesome. I’ve been making my own lotion for personal use for over a year and never thought about adding an emulsifier, you are a god send. I can’t wait to try it, thank you thank you for inspiring me. Also you explanation of the products and their benefits are A++++.
Hello and thank you for such an amazing tutorial. I’m new at the art of making body butter and am having a problem with the conversion from % to ounces which is what I prefer to work with. Help would be greatly appreciated. I tried moving the decimal 2 spaces to the left but this leaves me with a very little amount of product to develop into one container of body butter… I need help.
Take your total ounces and multiply by the %. For example, if your total batch size is 16 ounces, multiply 16 x .15 = 2.4 ounces of shea butter; 16 x .30 = 4.8 ounces of kokum butter; 16 x .05 = 0.8 ounces mango butter; etc.
Lol so dope , I just made something like this not too long ago and chose butters off the top of my head and it’s the exact same butters as this video so that makes me feel good 😂😭. It turned out really well so those butters truly pair well together EDIT: and I’ve also used arrowroot but please understand it can also make your body butter leave a powdery feeling it’s luxurious yes but if you add to much it can make your body butter feel more powdery
Thank you for sharing your recipe. As you grow and share what you do teaching your audience how to make these body and room sprays grows your audience offer that they can buy ready made from you or make themselves and wholesale the containers and ingredientwhich can grow into a business of its own. You can make a recipe book and sell that to help others get started with their own business and buy all they need from you. I love to see how you make things your videos are great! But I would prefer to just buy it and would buy from you seeing how you are making this. Also your video on product photography was really good. You can approach restaurants in your area and offer to take their menu dishes pictures for them. Have a rate for digital and one for prints. I’m in the food industry and covid hit hard. Many smaller independent restaurants had to get creative - offer to take pictures for their website for their menu or to create a to go menu or menu in general. Go look at how they are marketing on their menu and website and tailor your presentation to that customers need with your photography. Specially for the internet which so many did not have a presence in. Who’s you the best snd many Blessings.
I love this video! Thank you so much!! I can’t wait to test this formula out. Can I replace the aloe Vera extract for aloe Vera oil? The aloe Vera extract says it’s water soluble.
Hi ! I never knew you could use an emulsifying wax in a body butter that doesn't contain water. Is your only reason for using it to help keep the butter from melting in hot summer months?
Hello, this is really great. Where did you get the white container from ? Could you make a video about luxury looking containers too and where to find them♡♡♡
Gm. I asked about a written recipe in either grams or ounces, but you didn't reply. I really like your videos, but would really like links to written instructions as well. Thanks
I tried this recipe and although it was nice after whipped it got super hard the next day. I’ve watched other videos concerning this and it’s most likely due to lack of liquid oils in the recipe.
There are moments that the music is blending with your fast, high pitched quiet voice. You're voice gets hard to hear word for word. You have a nice voice, its just the volume of the background.
It is possible to create a body butter WITHOUT preservatives as long as you don’t add water to it since over time, it causes rancidity. A body butter with purely oils and butters with arrowroot powder is called an Anhydrous Formulation which means it has NO water. If you don’t have water in it, you don’t need a preservative. Depending on the percentage ratios of the butters to oils will depend on how thick, dense, light and fluffy it is. I like mine to be denser but still with a bit of airy texture to it (kinda like the Truly Beauty Butters) so I do 70% butters and 30% oils. 🥰 Hope this helps! Also, make sure you store it in a dark cool place
it would be helpful if you write the recipe also in the box below, so it's much easier for us to follow. I can understand Affiliate Marketing, but don't forget the purpose of the video.
This is a great recipe. I'm not familiar with BTMS 50 - does this ingredient keep it from melting when its shipped? I'd like to learn more about this. Really good recipe...
Hello! May I ask the reason why you added a preservative? Is it because of the aloe extract? I’m just starting to learn about formulation and such. 😄 It looks amazing 🥥
Preservative is a must when you have any formulation with water, even distilled & boiled water. Lotions/creams develop bacteria at the drop of a hat so always spray/wipe all of your pots, bowls, utensils & storage containers with 91% rubbing alcohol & maintain a sterile environment as much as possible. Though preservative isn't required in oil based formulas with no water, it's a good idea. There are a few good "natural" preservatives, vitamin E oil & lavender EO do not count as such. Research videos on skincare preservatives, its very helpful!
If I may ask, how did you come up with the amounts for the ingredients? Like did you know you wanted Kokum butter to be 30% or did you have to play around with test batches before you found the right consistency and it came out to be 30%?
Hi Jessica, Thanks for sharing your recipe. I've tried others and this was the best! My only problem is it hardened the next day. Any advice on how to fix this? I whipped for 8 minutes with a standing mixer. It got super fluffy after 5 minutes. At 8 minutes it wasn't as fluffy. Should I have stopped at 5? Just trying to figure this out.... :-)
Nice recipe, just curious why use an emulsifier if your not using water. Wouldn’t stearic acid be better. It has a much higher melting point and it’s a stabilizer.
So when measuring this out how do you measure in % like what’s the oz? I’d love for my body butter to not be oily; feel like it’s hydrating and not oily or dry.
You should be able to sub any butters and oils for any other ones but it might change texture a but because of the different properties of each different ingredient, for example some oils and butters are more lightweight than others
Hello just watched your video and enjoyed learning the way you make your butter. How do you measure on how much to use, also what utensils do you use to measure?
When formulating body and skincare products, usually they use a weight scale to weigh their products and use glass beakers that have a high tolerance to heat! I’m a newbie at this stuff too but have been learning a bunch of stuff 🥰
hey, you can use any substitues, but keep in mind you may not have the same exact results as she did. I use germall plus instead of optiphen and it is fine for me.
Love your videos...very informative. Can't wait to try this recipe, since I always have issues with my skin from using store bought body butter. BTW, do you know what license is needed if you sell lotions bars or creams in FL ? Thanks.
You’ll need to get registered and have a stand alone facility and an inspection from the state. It costs over $1000 + yearly inspections. It’s easier to out source your recipe, have someone else make it for you in a different state, and you sell it (which is what I’ll be doing) until I get my own studio.
the recipe looks amazing but I was wondering how much my btms50 doesn’t melt easily. Takes forever and it is still a bit clumpy. Also when whipping it became hard and into small clumps. Is there such a thing as too whipped? Thanks!
I feel the recipe has too many ingredients making it maybe too expensive to create? I have started making butters too and one of them has this exact texture. Am wondering if I can achieve this texture minus some of the oils and emulsifier being used here?
Hey, aloe vera extract has antioxidant and antibacterial properties so, I would replace it with more vitamin e or another ingredient that is an antioxidant.
Can Aloe Extract be substituted or omitted if I don't have it on hand? If substituted, does it have to be an extract? If omitted, do I increase another ingredient to keep the % at 100%? Thanks so much!
You can replace anything you want ♥️ you can also lower the BTMS50 to 3% and the arrowroot powder to 5% and add up to 7% extra oils instead, or up to 7 extra botanical extracts at 1% each. As for adding all of the oils, I recommend sticking to 1 to 4 oils at most.
Hi dear I used this recipe. Instead of kokum butter I used cocoa butter. Below was the ratio 20% mango 15% cocoa n Shea each The consistency is like ice Cream n it's melting. Where did I go wrong. Can you please guide
@@sonalishah6923 your formulation should consist of 70% butters and 30% oils Or 80% butters and 20% oils I think you did not use enough butters hence why it Is melting
I just started my business on instagram and I only have gotten one order so far which im extremely thankful for and she said she loved it but i’m hoping to have more orders in the future!

@@HawthornCompany I just ordered it on bramberry, lol ..as soon as I get it, make it and I’ll let you know. Thank you Jessica 😘😘
I am going to try it today with Emulsifying wax NF
Tried this recipe in a very small quantity. Luxurious feeling and absorbs well. Now to figure out a scent.
I made this but replaced kokum butter with cocoa butter and it turned out so lush and doesn’t melt 😌
Omg! Thank you for the clarity! Someone said to use rose water, now i see what my butter is falling apart 😂
You'd need an emulsifier if you're adding oils and water together
@@mifumarcuszhisalo4194 but the BTMS is an emulsifier as wel.she can add water if she want to right?
Can’t wait to try this! And the sprinkle of gold is a great touch. ⭐️

FINALLY!! A recipe with the ingredients I like! TY!
Omg! So much great information! Also: “It’s so fluffy!!!” 🦄

Omg I’m so glad I found your channel thank you so much for this!
Thank you so much this came out beautifully ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this awesome recipe! So inspiring, I am making a new batch today and came across your video!
I'm always learning. I made some just for myself last summer. Didn't know about the “resting for 24hrs😦
Haha it’s fine if you don’t let it rest, it’s just that the texture changes after 24 hours is all
@@HawthornCompany the texture change is it due to the types of butters used or it’s the emulsifier?
Nice formula.
Looks like a great recipe. Can’t wait to make it. I don’t have BTMS 50 (too expensive) so I will sub BTMS 25.
Love your videos, my absolute fav on RUclips!
That means a lot to me 😍😍
I've heard people say the arrow root powder helps with the butter melting in warmer temps
Will try it. Thank you for sharing 💓
OMG it looks so luxurious, what oils did u use in recipe? Would love to give it a try. Thank you so much
Thank you! I used 15% Argan oil and 15% avocado oil.
Helpful video thank you so much.
You’re welcome! Glad I could help ♥️
She sounds like Luna Lovewood from harry potter. Cute 🤣
I love this and will try!!!
Awesome video, very informative
hey is this a great percentage if i only have this ingredients?
20% shea butter
35% kokum butter
35% oil
10% arrowroot powder
The cocoa butter smells so strong that I can't smell anything else no matter how much essential oil I add. What could I be doing wrong?
You may have gotten unrefined cocoa butter. It has a strong nutty smell. If you want no smell you’ll need refined cocoa butter 😊

You can replace anything you want ♥️ you can also lower the BTMS50 to 3% and the arrowroot powder to 5% and add up to 7% extra oils instead, or up to 7 extra botanical extracts at 1% each. As for adding all of the oils, I recommend sticking to 1 to 4 oils at most.
