10g Jojoba Oil

Lovely consistency. This formulation is technically a cream lotion as it contains water. Body butters are anhydrous formulations. This means they contain no water and are comprised entirely of oils and butters. A preservative is usually not needed in body butters unless there is a chance that water might be introduced into the product. For example, using wet hands to apply the product or using it in the shower. The use of a antioxidant such as Vitamin E is highly recommended when making body butters as it will help to prolong the shelf life of the product. Vitamin E helps to prevent rancidity of. the oils and butters. Also, most if not all, preservatives have what is called a Flashpoint. This means they are only effective when used at the manufacturer's recommended temperature and below. If added above the recommended temperature they will 'burn off' and become ineffective. Again, the consistency of your finish product was amazing. As formulaters who are no longer novices, we often overlook the fact that people look to us for knowledge. A majority of these videos become tutorials whether or not they are meant to be.
Wonderful feedback, thank you so much! I love the idea of adding the Vitamin E. I will definitely try that. We market our "barrier cream consistency lotion" as a body butter to our customers because of the texture and because of the high content of wonderful butters. We steer away from the anhydrous version in the summer months here in southern California, because it's just too hot, and the butters will melt. An emulsified version is the perfect alternative. We always add the preservative at a temperature that will not burn off of course, because we want our products to fresh as long as possible.
Even with an anhydrous product it's still a wise choice to use a presevatives so incase a client keeps their product in the shower or bathroom and accidentally gets water in the butter as it doesn't take much for bacteria to grow! Not a chance I would want to take!
Thanks @Kim Rawls for your info, as I was just thinking the same thing about butters vs. lotion with water content. Education is key. Video was great, loved the breakdown of measurements
A lot of the big name bath and body stores market this similar recipe as a body butter. Most people prefer the word body butter over cream. This is a wonderful recipe thanks for sharing.
Very informative! Thank you👏🏽
I used this recipe as a starting ground and made several changes for my climate in Michigan.
Today I took samples to several people who test and review new products for me. And they LOVED it. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. It has been a fantastic starting point for my recipe.
Again, Thank you 😘
Coming in handy for the fall and winter months for michiganders ...I at times miss the michigan fall weather and leave color changes! What scents if any did you end up using? Who did you use as your supplier?
@@denisehaley9271 ok... everytime I think I know the majority of the suppliers others pop up
@@denisehaley9271 I know...already planned on that part...ty
Thank you so much! I am so glad they enjoyed it.
Does it get thicker
I really sat here and read through every single comment and responses… Video saved… Your content and some of the comments were very informative. Gave me lots to research, thanks for posting.
LOL, that what I am doing! The comments help, as well!
I would like to thank you so much for your presentation, your patience in explaining, and for kindly sharing this recipe. You are a true professional. I tried your recipe and it was amazing. I had to switch out the Shea butter for Mango because it was all I had on hand at the time but it still came out beautiful. If I ever make it to the West Coast, I'm coming straight to you store. Great Job!
Thank you so much for the great feedback! Please, please do! I love meeting fellow makers. So, glad this worked out well for you!
You are right down the street from me. I will definitely visit your store. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome! Please do, it will be fun! We're open Tues-Sat 1:30pm-6pm.
May the Lord continue to bless your business, bundle of joy! God bless you!
These are my favorite types of butters to use, I love the non greasy feel.
Mine too!
Thanks for sharing your recipe. I live in Barbados, and, emulsified body butters are ideal for this hot country!
Thank you for your generosity and patience answering all the questions, your recipe is wonderful, I will certainly try it.
Hope you enjoy
Hallelujah!! You've just eased my mind about adding water. I was not going to do it, even though there is a lot if issues with melting etc. No one has explained this type of recipe as clearly and simply, so I can understand, as you have. I am going to embrace water, even aloe juice now. Can't thank you enough. Annnnd, can't wait to try it!
Yay! I’m so glad. Let me know how it works for you. I’d love to hear about your experience with the recipe. Thank you!
The 1st batch, I put it in the freezer, then whipped it. It never flufed up, but it was amaaaaaaaazing! The 2nd batch, I didn't put in the freezer, and it whiped and flufed up. It doubled in size. Exactly what I really wanted. And just as amazing, silky, non greasy... perfection! I originally thought I couldn't reach this stage with water as an ingredient. But I am in Heaven!! I made 9 large jars to give as gifts to some of my ladies at my wedding.
You're the best!! Thank you!
This is really one of the best I have ever seen on You Tube, nicely spoken, nicely explained, beautiful lady, you are such a wonderful and knowledgeable person. My blessings to you from my heart. Keep up the good work.
Wow. I just tried your recipe but I changed coconut oil to hempseed due to I live in Thailand and it’s hot and humid so I guess a bit of light oil might be better for my situation. I just want to say how much I love love loveeee your emulsifying body butter. It’s super lovely and I don’t have to freak out it would humiliating me by melting during transport ever again. Thank you for sharing!!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m so glad it worked well. Hempseed sounds really luxurious too!
You're an angel for bothering to share this!
It’s totally my pleasure. It changed my life, lol!
Thank you so much for being thorough and for sharing the recipe. I would be curious to see how it sets up one it cools?
Thanks again
It has a nice body frosting consistency.
OMG! I had no idea you had a YT channel. I’ve seen you and your products in several FB groups. Definitely subscribed with notifications on.
Awesome! Thank you so much!
Yesss awesome texture nice a creamy

Thank you for sharing your recipe and giving your knowledge.. GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY ❤
This is body butter cream❤️😍
Great video and very helpful. I make Chebe Butter and was trying to figure out what I need to do to keep it from melting. Thank you so much.
Thank your for sharing... I was struggling when my butters would melt when shipping. Im excited to try your sister and my God all i can say is THANK YOU FOR SHARING...
I went through the same struggle. So, when I learned about emulsions, I was like this is the way to go. 😉 Glad it helped, let me know if you try it!
Love this. Anhydrous butters are so nice to create.
This is not anhudrous butter, it is emulsion!
I see this is from last year but I had to Thank you so much for sharing this amazing recipe. I just found your channel and had to go make this. It’s so awesome and you explained how to make it so easily. Can’t wait to try out more of your creations.
Oh, wow! Thank you so much!

I am so glad I came across your channel I. was on watching you make a circuit label and clicked on this video and noticed your product in the background that I cannot find the right size for to make labels. So helpful thanks for sharing. The jar looks like body butter in but it's not a shape you see used that much in this field from what I can tell.
Thank you for watching! Yes, using a Cricut allows you to use uniquely shaped vessels for your products.
Definitely will try this TFS ❤️
Have fun, thanks for watching!

Hi Tyars,
I'm so happy to have discovered your channel. I also buy butters from Baraka.
Thank you so much! This has been so frustrating for me!
Love the video Sis, thank you so much!! Blessings! Sis, when would I add color if using??? Thanks
Thank you so much! I would add color when you add the fragrance.
@@TyarsEssentials I love those cabinets where did you get those? Kind of country style cabinets! Great video! Heard arrow root powder works if you don't use water
good recipe
Hello dear. I didn’t see u adding Shea butter. I watched the video three four times
I ve been asking myself the same question
Muchas gracias por la gentileza de compartir su receta🤗
De nada! ;-)
Thank you so much for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My pleasure! I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
I would put this in my hair❤️
It would probably do great! A good scalp moisturizer.
@@TyarsEssentials unless I missed it what preservative did you end up using? I truly believe that whether you use a water or not it's imperative that you use a preservative .... the last thing you want to have happen is for someone to have bought our products and something happen with their skin and or with the product!
@@morpro4u a preservative was added
Great video
I would be interested if you could show how to dissolve Glycine powder into the distilled water and add Shea butter and Coconut oil into a cream application. I would also be curious if you could add Castor oil into that. Thanks.
I’ve never tried glycerin powder.

My pleasure!
Thank you so much for this video. I made this recipe and tweaked some of the butters and oils. I LOVE IT! - Just wanted to Thank you!!!
Form Thailand. Thank you. so much I can spaek. English little I li ke clip you.very much I want you chow ingredient. cream Thank.you
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Thank you for this video as I was already starting to seek out how to make a body butter with water because straight body butter plus oils is just way too greasy! Even when I’ve added arrow root powder it just seems like it’s so greasy I couldn’t even feel good selling it!
I definitely feel like adding water actually expands your ingredients instead of using more of your rich butters and oils which is why I really want to make my body butter this way versus no water.
In my opinion people who are mixing straight body butter and oil and then selling it in a huge 8 ounce jar… I feel like they could sell that same body butter in half the size because of how rich it would be without water and consuming their dollars with the ingredients.
Especially for people like me who are making such small batches and I don’t have a lot of space in my apartment that I really just wanna buy ingredients off of Amazon which I know can be a little bit more expensive than if I were to buy an extreme bulk but I really can’t afford to pay for or even store butters and oils in multi gallon containers.
I would rather buy my supplies in 1 to 2 gallon increments and make small batches and really be able to not over make too much product and then have it sitting around even if it had a preservative in it because I personally don’t know yet if it’s going to sell
(because I’m starting out)
With that being said there are some items that I’m going to be making first to start my handmade skin care line that don’t require preservatives, but I really want to do the body butter with water and after seeing people make it this way on a couple of other videos it just seems easier to be melting the butter‘s with the oil so that you can mix it with water and then letting whip up
Versus.... what seems like 20 to 25 minutes worth of work in a butter at room temperature without melting.
if your body butter is to greasy your not using the rights oils or oil combinations. MY body butter absorbs into the skin minutes after using.
Check out the bulk apothecary for supplies they are much cheaper than Amazon. A good addition to straight butters and oil is corn starch or aero root powder. Corn starch feels a bit smoother and you don’t have the greasy feeling after applying.
3cayg is place you could get butters and oils from for cheap.
AGREED! Even with arrowroot powder, the butters still feel greasy! I just want a lightweight whippy body butter that I can pipe in pretty colours and scents! This one looks amazing!
You are lovely to watch thank you for the recipe I was wondering which preservative are you using
Optiphen
I love your labels and ingredients but this seems more like a body cream. Very nice though!!
Thank you! It totally is, but the but consistency is of a rich creamy butter. For the consumer, they are not as technical, so you will see a lot off heavy creams marketed as butters. ;-)
This is an emulsified body butter. The consistancy is a bit different.
@@kimberlygefferie3889 Yep, you can totally tweak it to get just the consistency you want. Put your own twist on it. ;-) Have fun!
@@TyarsEssentials may I ask you what preservative you used for this particular recipe please? Tyia
I used to make mine like this but it ALWAYS turned out so grainy!!! I don’t know what I did wrong. I just do the normal whipped now, even though here in Queensland, Australia, it gets really hot and humid. I just got so sick of wasting so much ingredients.
Hello beautiful I am so happy to found you Chanel ♥️♥️ what is the shelf life of this butter and what kind of preservative do you use ?
Thank you so much for sharing ♥️
Janae did I miss the addition of the Shea butter?? All I saw was the coco butter Btw I love this recipe I can’t wait to try it
Hi! Perhaps I moved too fast, lol! Shea butter is the star of this recipe. Thank you so much!
How much Shea butter for this recipe?
Thank you very much for your well explained video!
Please, which preservative should I use with this receipt!?
Thank you so much! I use Optiphen, you can find it on Amazon.
I'm loving this video. Do you recommend using coconut milk powder in the recipe?
You could totally add coconut milk. Just make sure it's diluted well, no flakes, and substitue for the water content.
Love the mini measuring cups, where are they from? Thanks for sharing the formula & it looks great.. I call mine a “body butter cream” and this year is 1st year I made it.. my body butters did not sell as well and I recreated a newer product for the customers. Not cold here... don’t need a thick coating in winter.
Thank you! I got them from Hobby lobby. ;-)
😊 Good Luck 💛
Love the video❤ very informative I wanted to know can you add vitamin e oil to this if so have many grams using your method
Thank you so much! Yes of course you can add vitamin E oil. That would be really nice addition to this recipe. The usage rate for vitamin E oil should be available from your preferred supplier.
This is an amazing recipe, thank you. Which preservative did you use?
Thank you! I use optiphen.
Thank you for sharing this video!!! It looks so luxurious! How long is the shelf life of this butter? Am I asking too much if I would like to know what kind of stability testing you've done on this product? This is really awesome, thus I am eager to learn more
I have batches I have tested from about two years ago, and it's still going strong. But, I typically put 12 months on my labels.
@@TyarsEssentials thank you for your reply! Two years is awesome
@@TyarsEssentials does it last that long without a rheology modifier?
@@karimyyy4653 Hi! Shelf life is up to two years. When making any skin care product where water is added, a preservative is a must. The balance of emulsifiers to solid and liquid oils is up to you as the creator. Everyone has a different quality they are looking for in the texture of their product. That's the fun part of being a bath and body artisan. ;-)
This looks absolutely amazing!
Can I use cetearyl alcohol instead of cetyl?
Thank you! I’m not sure, but it’s worth the try.
NEVER use a microwave.
My body butter contains: Ecosoya Q210 Soy Wax, Cocoa Butter, Shea butter, sweet almond oil, Fragrance & Colour it’s not greasy at all. Ecosoya Q210 is the only soy wax compatible to use in skincare and dermatology tested safe for all skin types
Sounds amazing, thank you for sharing!
love this video. I have been trying different formulas, so i have most of these ingredients. I dont have emulsifying wax though, could i use stearic acid or more cetyl alcohol?
Thanks! You really need the e-wax. It’s available on Amazon.
Try finding another emulsifier
Thank you I love for generosity and expertise. How many ounces does this make?
Thank you! It’s my pleasure. About 23 oz.
Hello, I love your video and end result. I have emulsifying wax that’s a combination of Cetearyl Alcohol and Polysorbate 60. Do I still need the Separate cetyl alcohol to mix with my emulsion wax? Thank you!
Thank you! Not at all. Just replace it with additional eWax. I just like the feel of it with a little additional Cetyl alcohol. Smooths out the wax a bit.
@@TyarsEssentials Thank you for your response! Do you use refined or unrefined Shea and Cocoa Butter? Does the unrefined have too strong of a smell?
@@goddessthings6920 I used refined Cocoa Butter, but unrefined Baraka Shea butter, it really doesn’t smell Al all.
@@TyarsEssentials Thank you!
Hiii , thank you for the recipe , I would like to know which preservative did you use please ? ♥️
You can use Optiphen.
Does it get thicker as you let it cool down? It had more a lotion look.
Yes, it does, it's more like a thick cream than a lotion.
Thank you for sharing. I was wondering how you calculate the water & aloe portion? I have a body butter recipe & would love to turn it into something similar 2 yours. I appreciate ur time & help. Be blessed
I didn’t see you adding the Shea butter only the Cocoa butter ..
Thank you for this formula . What kind of emulsifying wax is it?
My pleasure! It’s by Milliards found on Amazon.
Could you link where you got your blue measuring cups they’re beautiful
I think I picked them up at Hobby Lobby. Thank you!
HI, could I just use an aloe vera
gel instead of the liquid? Thanks
Aloe vera gel sometimes has additives that I am not sure how it will effect the consistency of the body butter. Maybe try it with a small batch.
@@TyarsEssentials i used the aloe gel the 2nd time i tried to make this and it was a mess. thanks for the recipe. good job
it was running and just couldnt imagine it. but im pass that now. it was just a try
Use microwave only for your use. Some scientists say it changes the composition and I feel that to make people feel comfortable with using the microwave, they walked it back over the years. Thanks for the video though.
Thank you! Yes, you can also use a double boiler method to melt oils if you are uncomfortable with the microwave.
Hi I love how detailed you were in this video. I saw other videos which those youtubers stated you shouldn't use no more than 1.5 % preservatives in your products. So if you're making a big batch (let's say to fill approximately 20 jars ) would you put more than 1.5% or is 1.5% the perfect measurement no matter the amount of product you're making?
Sorry if this is super long lol I'm just so lost when it comes to preservatives
Thank you for the compliement! Yes, I do about 1 percent, no matter the size of the batch. Just be sure its thoroughly incorporated.
And also use the suppliers recommendation guidelines for preservatives and EOs/FOs
Hi there can this be used in hair?
If you want to make a body butter with water but thicker and a bit less 'loose' which ingredients would you add more of?
I would suggest checking out this little cheat sheet, and adjusting the percentage of hard butters and oils. cheatography.com/emmajane/cheat-sheets/ingredient-ratios-for-lotion-making/
Beautiful and creamy, what is the name of the preservative you used please and so grateful for the recipe
Thank you so much! Optiphen is the preservative. You can find the recipe in the description of the video. ;-)
@@TyarsEssentials looks very rich and creamy! Do you mind me asking how long it took you to formulate the correct amounts of each ingredient?
@@morpro4u I based it off the barrier cream in this little cheat sheet... cheatography.com/emmajane/cheat-sheets/ingredient-ratios-for-lotion-making/
@@TyarsEssentials ty...I skimmed over it and I found it helpful as a good stating point as always you has to account for Extracts,EOs/FO any other additives etc
@@morpro4u Exactly!
If I wanted to make a multicolored body butter what step or when would I add the color?
I would add it, when you add the fragrance oil.
Do you have to weigh the water after heating to replace any lost while heating? Thank you!
No, it's already accounted for.
I have a question? Why do you add a preservative if you are adding a 100% vegetable glycerin, which is a stabilizer and preservative in itself?
Hi! Good question. I myself have not heard that glycerin is a preservative. So, I’m not sure about that. But, I add a paraben free preservative to all of my products that have water content for safety.
Theres more water than glycerine so it would mold
Cali baby
@Tyars Essentials Hello gorgeous, is the preservative used broad spectrum? In your previous reply to a comment about adding vitamin E, you've mentioned you'll try it. Have you? If so, when you added vitamin E, what was the percentage? Also can I use essential oils and place of the fragrance? If so, may you please provide the percentages Please and thank you 😊
I use optiphen. I am not sure of the percentages off hand. I'll have to work on that. ;-)
I Dont have avocado oil can I use grapeseed or sunflower oil?
You sure can. ;-)
Love the video and recipe but why are you calling this a body butter when it is a lotion?
Thank you so much! It's more of a marketing decision. You'll notice a lot of commercial body butters contain water. They have chosen to do that for shelf stability. And, consumers are attracted to the whipped buttery texture, so it is a descriptive word that allows the consumer to know what the product will feel like before purchasing and using it. It's a marketing term more so than a literal term. I hope that helps! :-)
This looks amazing I would want to try it out this weekend but is Cetyl alcohol need can I just use more Ewax (only because I don’t have cetyl alcohol) also will it still thicken up if I use like a kitchen aid instead of the hand mixer??
I would try a small batch with the Kitchen Aid, I am not sure if it will reach emulsion. Yes, you can substitute a bit of e-wax for the Cetyl Alcohol.
Nicee. Where did you buy your spatulas?
Thanks! I got for 40% off at Hobby Lobby!
❤️
So this won’t melt at all?
Thank you for sharing! But what kind of preservative did you use for the 7 grams?
Sure! I use Optiphen.
@@TyarsEssentials thanks so much for sharing!
Hello dear. Which preservative you used?
U didn't put it in the freezer or something to get hard before whipping?
No, the process is like making a super thick lotion.
please what oil can i replace avocado with? Avocado oil is pretty expensive here. i love your recipe. thanx
You can use Olive oil as they are both "similar" in terms of consistency.
There are multiple oils that can be used. Its just based off your personal preference. Search natural oils on google
