    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. 😬

      The problem is MOST people do not know how to use body butters. If you apply them right after you get out of the shower they work marvelously.

    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 🌷

      @JustKrista50 5 месяцев назад

      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.

      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!
