I've started to get more serious about making body butters and your website and videos have been incredibly helpful. Everything is so easy to understand and everything I can think of you've already wrote a page on. Thank you so much for this!
Miss Marie - I just think you're the best! You're very very intelligent and compassionate about what you share! I love seeing your videos!! I learn so much! 😊
Thank you for the valuable information. I follow you from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and I tried a type of butter and it was very wonderful and with a luxurious texture.
I absolutely NEEDED these tips and refreshers!!! I’m always battling with making bigger batches of body butter. So excited to up my butter game!!! Especially now that I have a storefront 😍
This is a bit of an aside, however I’ve been watching a bunch of your videos (filling in the gaps, finding the smattering of videos I somehow hadn’t already watched in the past few years), and then skim the comments sections. I must say - the number of questions I see that made me think “what on Earth???” is astounding! Questions that are easily answered had the person checked out the partner blog (as you recommend again and again in each video) or just common sense: “can I use ingredient a instead of ingredient b? How much?”. “Weighing is difficult and I don’t want to buy a scale. Can you tell me how much to add in teaspoons, or mg?”. Questions that are so specific and seem outrageous to think that you’d reply to: “For those of us that are new, can you show us how you determine how much of each ingredient to add when making various products, like serums, cosmetics, moisturizers, etc? “ , “I only want to use natural ingredients that don’t have chemicals in them so shouldn’t you provide an alternative version of the recipe for those of us who don’t want to use Franken-ingredients? “ (oh my! those kind of questions seem especially rude 🙄🙄🙄🙄 !) Then the ones that make me scratch my head “the ingredient A that I have is purple and glittery. Are there ingredient sellers that add glitter and color?”, “To let you know, Ingredient C has been proven to cause cancer and is eroding the coral reefs. Scientists confirm it’s a microplastic. Please make a cleanser that does not use this. I have cut out all harmful chemicals from my skincare routine.”, “My mom got me Benetint cheek tint from Benefit and I want to make it myself to save money. How do I make this at home and what do I need to buy?” The list is endless of course. For some reason, this genre of content seems to invite comments that are wacky, demanding, entitled, confusing, and all kinds of “wtf”. Haha!! That said - and for those comments that are grounded enough to justify a response - your remarks are always very polite, a bit humorous, informative, respectful, and appropriate! I applaud your ability to maintain restraint and re-direct heavy-vibe initial comments, to ultimately land upon conclusions that feel much more lighthearted. From the amount of work and time you dedicate to providing loads free amazing informative content, to the clean, concise and easy to follow format and style of your channel and blog, and then your upbeat, soothing, classy and uplifting morale and persona - I am SO thankful that I found you and your channel!!!! I love the beauty world however don’t actually wear much makeup. I value fact and logic, and love learning - so the world of beauty formulating is RIGHT up my alley! I am continuously becoming more and more aware of and informed about product ingredients, and never look at a product without also combing over the ingredient lists now! I love it and thank you!!
I must add (to that very brief comment) that I’ve become acutely aware of how little basically all beauty content creators are UNaware of and uninterested in product ingredient lists! From dupe videos to dollar store (“omg there’s probably rat poo and garbage ingredients in here”) product “reviews” to making conclusions about high end vs low end products - those are all topics that would be absolutely strengthened, verified, legitimized, etc if the creators were to take some time to dig into the ingredient lists and gain understanding about what each additive does/why it’s added to formulas!! Assuming low cost equals “rat poo” and high cost equals “stunning application and wear” is totally not true! I’d LOVE to see a beauty “guru” have the spark and curiosity to include that kind of info in videos!! A quick example of just how little people know or care about ingredients: Last week I took interest into “tubing” mascara formulas. Brands do their best to NOT divulge when a mascara has a tubing formula, using cryptic language, false claims, hiding or minimizing the placement of such into on the package - so I decided to figure out how to determine if a mascara is a tubing formula the solid way - by knowing what ingredients make a tubing formula. Some Googling and YouTubing later, my conclusion is that the (second-ish) ingredient MUST be a polymer. (My conclusion isn’t the key here, so I’m not going to go into detail about that). Here’s the kicker… I came across an article from Cosmopolitan which, seemingly, was going to tell me right there what ingredient to look out for! Awesome! Or not… take a look if you’d like. Ingredient info towards the end, and in bold! It just be correct!! Haha 🙄🙄I’ll leave it at that. (Oh and don’t take their word that all of the listed are actually tubing - because not all are). I spaced out the link below because RUclips doesn’t allow links in comments.

@@beakerblue Exactly! 💯 And also check the post summary for all the links and other info. Annnnd.....If you really want to know something you can always use Google to do your own research. It's really not that hard. People are just plain lazy. 😔 They want all their questions answered in a 10 minute video which is almost impossible. 😳
I mean... in another video I had a question about if its okay to heat up squalane because its unstable and I wasn't sure if I could heat it up with the butter ..and I didn't ask it until AFTER I scoured her awesome blog on another video and couldnt find it...and then the next day I found this video that includes a COMPLETE encyclopedia of oils so now I can go back and delete my comment cuz its answered. I think most ppl dont ever expect the influencer to answer them, more often than not we looks for someone in the comments to answer our question about their own experiences..like im doing here and now with you. But omg I agree some of those questions that you posted were really funny. The one about how can I replicate a drug store foundation? I mean, we have to remember there are probably a lot of children in the comments too
😱 I’m so glad you mentioned Blue Cocoon!! I purchased some Blue Tansy and Helichrysum oil to try to make it and have been afraid to try it because of how expensive both of these essential oils are! I don’t know how I missed that video but I’m super excited now to try your DIY this weekend!! *I’m super pumped!!* This video just made my day!!! 🥳 Love your channel and blog!! 🐝 🐝🐝🐝
Love the BTMS suggestion wow what a difference that makes to the final product! I was do you have a recipe video for the balm product shown at the 2:14 mark, that looks amazing!
Thank you so much for this!! I am so very grateful. I make healing body care for mind, body, and soul as well as spiritual cleansing products and being disabled I like being able to help others but the HOW to make things more shelf stable and other tips in this video have been elusive. Blessing to you on your channel and on your journey!
Honestly the only close to nature idea i liked in this vid was to play with the cooling method or preference and i feel the product doesn't have to feel expensive but nourishing and close to nature well that's how i create mine! Thanks for sharing!
What a fabulous bundle of wonderful tidbits! That would explain why your Extra Creamy Clay cleansing balm I just made ended up quite hard (still cleanses beautifully tho). I must've traced/cooled it too well lol :) Next time I will try setting it at room temp instead of fridge. 🥰
Glad to hear that! ❤️ Don't forget to check out my blog (humblebeeandme.com) as well if you haven't already-I've been blogging since 2011 while I’ve only been on RUclips since about 2016, so there are a lot more formulations on the blog. The blog is also where my totally free ingredient encyclopedia and FAQ live, and they're both packed with tons of super-helpful information ❤️ Happy making!
Awesome! I was surprised not to see cetyl alcohol on the list. But perhaps the cationic emulsifier imparts those qualities 🤔 You’ve got me intrigued enough to buy some BTMS 😉
Hi Marie!! how to do ice baths for large batches? Is that a thing? Wondering how LUSH does it for their level of volume on their solid butter bars. Do you think they do ice baths/freezers, etc???
Hi, First! I am very greatful for your quality content. I do not understand one thing though. Would it be okay to add starch dissolved in water first? To make it less oily?
Thank You for this!!! I’ve long been dreaming of making my own body butter that’s light and powderyish without an ounce of greasy feel. I absolutely love a whipped body butter I made probably 4 years ago. However; it ended up still being greasy and I was stuck using it less often than I would’ve liked and only at night… but my skin felt amazing from it after the greasy was gone lol. It was basic and long before I was blessed to have found your channel and even more blessed that my daughter bought me your book as a birthday gift. Anyway, thanks again for this Marie, I can’t wait until I am able to try a new body butter formulation!!! (And I decided that I’m pretty good at making a really nice balm 😄since not having the result of the body butter I wanted I turned to awesome ingredient balms)
My butter came out more like the original shea form. Melts in my palm but is not “whipped” or scoopable like I’ve seen. Hoping your vids help me find a solution!
I have a question about adding cyclopentasiloxane that wasn't covered in the blog post: if the amount of cyclopentasiloxane that I want to add exceeds 10%, could I split it up into 2 separate cool down phases & incorporate them separately? Or would it still suffer separation issues because the overall portion that wasn't subject to high sheer blending is simply too large?
This is a Very helpful video. can you please tell me after making a lotion I get lot of bubbles in my lotion when I poke it feel like sponge please help me with this dear
I wonder if powdered pearl & (not hydrolyzed) powdered silk can be ground fine enough to feel silky for a body butter, or if these just stay gritty no matter what
Hi! I think you're referring to the live ingredient list analysis I did on the Bath & Body Works body butter? If so, that's a patron exclusive :) You can get access to it by visiting patreon.com/marierayma and signing up as an "Exclusive Videos + Live Product Analysis" tier patron ❤️
Would it be possible to add silica microspheres to a body butter like the tip for clay? I have a bunch lying around that I want to use up but I don't use makeup very much. If so, when would you add it to the formulation for say a whipped butter? During the whipping phase or melting phase?
Hi Marie ! A gel moisturizer, is that something that is diy'able? And an after sun cream/gel? Edit: I just saw you already formulated one with aristoflex. That is an ingrédient that I can't find here, unfortunately.
Hai, ik heb body boter gemaakt. Ik was erg blij me, maar door te warm (41 grade) temperatuur is het helemaal vloeibaar geworden. Ik heb het weer in de koelkast gedaan, als ik het weer uit de koelkast haal na een tijdje weer vloeibaar wordt! Waar ging het mis? Wat kan ik doen om een goede structuur te krijgen. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I HAVE A QUESTION. What emulsifier do you suggest for a liquid leave-in hydration spray. I want it to stay liquid form and be able to spray BUT I also want to add oils. HELP PLEASE!
Hi! So, in this case it's not really about the emulsifier as many emulsifiers can make thin lotions. It's more about the stability of the emulsion-that's where the challenge lies. In this post I've linked to a post + video about making lighter emulsions: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/where-can-i-learn-more-about-lotion-formulation/. I'd start there :)
Hi! So, no-perfume is in an alcohol base that will not mix with butters. Also, it's not a good idea to use finished store bought products in your formulations. You might be able to purchase a fragrance oil dupe of the perfume and use that, though. Happy making!
I've started to get more serious about making body butters and your website and videos have been incredibly helpful. Everything is so easy to understand and everything I can think of you've already wrote a page on. Thank you so much for this!

Can you do a video of mixing starch to a body butter please !!😇😇😇
Loved this per usual!!!! But i wanna know how to get a good pouring body butter mixture without being to runny or to stiff but just right ??
If you have a fluffy body butter, you can whip until it deflates. That can make it easy to pour
Thanks for sharing god bless you 🙌😘😘😘😘
Can’t wait to try this ❤️
Ok so add an ester and myristate .plus different cooling ?😅
