I bought blue spirulina powder 2 weeks ago and I added it to my handmade retinol moisturizer. I only added around 1%. It seems to give a nice glow to the skin.
Hello dear I thank you for sharing with us your recipe. What is the inci name for the emulsifying wax you used. And why did you use a mixer not a blender, is it because a mixer will give that whipped effect.
Thank you so much. It can last anywhere between 6 to 18 months, provided it is stored properly and preservative is used but regularly check for any changes in smell and texture, as these can be indicators that the body butter is no longer good to use.
Thank you mam . . I tried this recipe again, this time oils are seperating when I whisk.. I don't know what mistake I did... Can you please help to correct the recipe mam...
@@sharnithi100 The recipe is accurate, and many others have successfully made this cream without any issues. I’m unsure what might be going wrong on your end. As demonstrated in the video, all the ingredients do mix well together. If you’re experiencing separation, it might be due to a specific step or ingredient variation.
@@sharnithi100 To avoid separation, ensure both the water and oils are heated to the same temperature before combining them. Whisk them together vigorously to create a stable emulsion. If the mixture starts to separate, gently reheat it while whisking continuously to help it come back together. It’s also helpful to check that you’re using the correct proportions of water to oil as in recipe. Consistent, thorough mixing is key to achieving a smooth and stable cream. Hope that helps.
Sylvie, I enjoyed this video so much! very helpful. I have 2 questions - If I don't have aloe vera gel, do I need to add 30gr more of the water? And can I substitue arrowroot powder for the guar gum? Thank-you!
If you don’t have aloe vera gel, you can add 30g more water, or you could replace it with a similar hydrating ingredient, like aloe vera juice, rose water, or cucumber hydrosol, depending on what you have available. Arrowroot powder isn’t a direct substitute for guar gum, as they serve different functions. Guar gum is a thickener, while arrowroot is more of a softening agent for powders. For thickening, try xanthan gum or another gum if you have it. But if you're okay with a lighter texture, arrowroot can work as a mild alternative.
Wow, that looks divine. I would love to make it however I only have aloe vera juice and aloe vera powder. Will it work with one of those or do I need to order aloe vera or make my own aloe vera gel because you did show that video thank you so much for your, hard work and for sharing all your beautiful creations
You're welcome! Aloe vera juice or powder can work as substitutes, but the texture might vary slightly. Experimenting with the proportions can help achieve the desired consistency. Making your own aloe vera gel is a great option too! Thanks for your kind words, happy crafting and enjoy your homemade body butter!
This is so beautiful, can the blue spirulina be substituted with blue tansy oil. I absolutely love everything you make. I have not tried anything yet, but now I’m ready to give it a go. You’re amazing 😊
Thank you! The blue spirulina phycocyanin in my body butter is remarkably stable. If you prefer an even more vivid blue colour, you can certainly experiment by adding more blue spirulina. I have carefully crafted this product to offer both visual appeal and effective skincare benefits.
Looks lovely! I only have green spirulina but will the seaweed smell remain? You may want to edit a mention to check supplier's recommendation for % of preservative needed as all preservatives aren't the same. Also to use the safe usage rate as recommended by the IFRA.
Thank you. As I'm not a seller, IFRA regulations don't apply to this recipe. DIY makers often ensure proper preservative percentages. Despite containing spirulina, there's no seaweed scent; only delightful essential oil fragrances prevail. This recipe yields a perfect, luxurious body butter.
Sylvie, I went to put all the %'s that you give with each ingredient into a batch calculator so I could print & save - but the % keep coming up to 183 instead of 200?? what am I doing wrong? I watched the video 5 times before I bothered you lol
The percentages given are based on a 386.5g batch rather than a standard 100g. To calculate percentages that add up to 100% for any batch size, take each ingredient’s weight, divide it by 386.5, and multiply by 100. This will give the correct standard percentages that a batch calculator can use, ensuring everything totals to 100% without errors. I don't add % anymore as i should have done this based on 100g, early video of mine now done differently. Thank you
Thank you. Yes, I have a Tallow Face Cream: ruclips.net/video/1VxV_5lruok/видео.html Annatto Face Cream: ruclips.net/video/6N0GdS0Jdgc/видео.html Kokum Face Cream: ruclips.net/video/0IY59kxutqg/видео.html I may have a few more also on my channel
I think what she is saying is that the percentages total 178 and the grams total 375.5 so it isn’t adding up properly. Perhaps just some typos on the numbers…
The ideal pH for my blue spirulina body butter should be between 4.5 and 6.5 to match the skin’s natural pH and ensure it's safe and gentle. Since water is present, it's essential to test the pH of the final product using pH strips or a meter. If needed, adjust it with a pH modifier, like citric acid to lower it or sodium hydroxide to raise it, to keep it in this ideal range.
Within my personal recipe lies a harmonious fusion of exceptional elements meticulously chosen to enhance both the beauty and health of the skin. Notably, a remarkably stable and perfectly balanced body butter takes centre stage, which I continue to employ with utmost satisfaction. Allow me to emphasize that this body butter holds a special place among my most cherished favourites, as its deeply hydrating and delightfully lightweight nature surpasses all expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend you trying this before judging it.

Blue spirulina can impart a radiant glow to the skin due to its rich antioxidant and nutrient content, providing a vibrant and revitalized appearance.
This came out absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much
Looks like yummy cake frosting 🤤😀

You are welcome. I used Emulsifying Wax BP, I used a whisk as i think it works better with body butters, but you can use a hand blender if you prefer
I tried your body butter.. it was awesome.. thank you so much for sharing your recipe what will be the shelf life of this recipe mam???

Beautiful color, didnt the blue spirulina phycocyanin fade away or discolored overtime? I’m curious how stable it is.

I want to play around with blue spirulina one day. I don’t understand the percentages.
Blue Spirulina is a lovely natural blue pigment adds a captivating visual appeal to skincare products.
