- Follow me through this new recipe of adding kokum butter to my body butter! This butter has a higher melting point allowing shipment in warmer weather.
Body Butter Recipe
15% Shea butter
30% Kokum butter
5% mango butter
30% oils of your choice (i.e. jojoba oil, pomegranate oil, sweet almond oil, MCT Oil, sunflower oil, pumpkin seed oil, cranberry seed oil, argan oil, apricot kernel oil, avocado oil)
5% BTMS 50 (adjust to a lower 2-3% if desired) (emulsifier that locks in moisture)
1% vitamin E (antioxidant)
1% Optiphen (natural preservative)
2% aloe extract (smooths the skin)
1% all-natural fragrance oil
5% - 10% arrowroot (start with 5% and add more if desired. If you lower to 5% rather than 10% then add more oils [ie. 35% oil instead of 30% to compensate])
NOTE You can use ounces or grams because this recipe is based off percentages. I hope this helps!

Just discovered your channel and thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for watching! I've got so much more to come. Just trying to find the time to fit it all in.

Thank you!!! My family is a mess. It's always live in this house. 🤣
Love your video. What are the measurements for your ingredients? Do you use oz or g? TIA
Thank you so much! I'll post the recipe in the description box. That way it will be easier for you and anyone else who wants to know locate it.
@@jenaerose1 Thanks
Hi, I just watched your video & love how simple you explained everything. I'm starting my journey to creating my own body butter, and this is so helpful. Where do you purchase your ingredients? I don't know where to begin. I have no guide in terms of high-quality products or companies that you recommend. I also don't want to run into discoloration with my butter turning yellow. Help! Any advice & tips you can give would be greatly appreciated! 😊
Hi @RealRockinRobyn! I am so excited for you. I absolutely love making these products. There are several reputable suppliers in the U.S. that you may be able to purchase from like; Brambleberry, Candle Science, Lone Star Candle Supply, Virginia Candle Supply, Amazon (but be cautious on who their supplier is), Makesy, Nuture Soap, and Lotion Crafter to name a few. I would definitely try to find a supplier that is close to your location so that you can cut down on shipping costs. I do get a lot of products from Amazon (free shipping with Prime) but I just recommend to do a little research before you purchase. I hope this helps! P.S. Some of my more recent videos have the links to the supplies that I purchased. Thank you for your comment.
@@jenaerose1 Thank you so much for your reply! I will definitely look into the companies and continue supporting your channel. 😊
@RealRockinRobyn I almost forgot two major suppliers I use, Bulk Apothecary and Natures Garden.
@@jenaerose1 Thanks for the additional info!
Does it stop stiffening after a while or rather oes it remain fluffy all through
use
Hi there! I noticed it stopped stiffening after 1-2 days. For me, it felt like a heavy cotton candy. Lol, it's so hard to describe. But I did like how it felt. But I was just wanting to duplicate something a little more silky and smooth. Check out the emulsified body butter video! :-)
Hey girl I used kokum butter with isopropyl myristate and sour cherry seed oil. It was my first time using kokum. It looked and felt so soft and fluffy like whipped cream and then when I went to pipe it, it turned so liquidy. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Should I use less oil or more kokum? Help!! Pls!! Haha
@briissoawesome NICE!!! I have some isopropyl myristate in stock so I think I may try that. I don't have cherry seed oil so I will have to see how I can get my hands on it.
@@jenaerose1 I bought it from new directions aromatics. Do you have any suggestions or thoughts on why my body butter turned to liquid when I went to pipe? I used kokum and isopropyl myristate and the sour cherry seed oil. I didn’t use much oil so I was very confused on why it ended up melting while I was piping. I also used arrow root in the recipe. How can I keep my butter from melting while piping? Or at all lol
@briissoawesome I am sorry I didn't scroll down to the end of your message. If your butter is melting fast I would decrease your light-weight oil. 30% is okay for cold months, but since it's getting warmer 5-10% may be better. I would also recommend increasing your hard butters as well such as shea butter (MP 89-100 F). Kokum Butter (MP 90 F). Mango Butter (MP 86 F). The temperature of your house may also make your butter vulnerable to melting. Another option may be to look into an emulsified recipe for the warmer months. Sorry so long, but I hope this helps. Thank you for your comment and question.
Why do you use an emulsifier when you do not use any water?
Hi! Great question. I mainly used the emulsifier as a conditioning agent and because it's great for locking in moisture and it has a very high melting point. Also, emulsifiers are used to stabilize two or more liquid ingredients that normally would not mix together and hold their structure. For example, at room temperature my oils are liquid and my butters are solid. Without an emulsifier, these can begin to separate over time. The emulsifier helps blends these together so hopefully I won't get any separation. I actually still have that jar from this video and there is no separation, yay! I also have an anhydrous body butter made without an emulsifier, I put it in the sun, then let it cool back down to room temperature and BAM...it separated. I guess there is really no right or wrong answer because both butters moisturize very well. So it's more of a user preference. This was my first trial with an emulsifier in an anhydrous mixture so I was really curious.
Can it be without preservatives?
Sure! This recipe doesn't contain water, so it can be made without a preservative.
Hi, what type of aloe extract did you use?
Hi @correshasteadwell, I purchased my aloe extract straight from Bramble Berry. It's the reformulated one that contains triglycerides of caprylic/capric acid instead of canola oil.
@@jenaerose1 thanks so much
Why must it be wait for 24 hours before using it after mixing?
Hi!! I prefer to wait 24 hours to let my my ingredients fully set. However, it's not actually necessary. 😉
How many jars did this recipe make
Hi! This was a sample size that I made to experiment with a new recipe. I think it came out to four 4 oz jars.
Can this be pipped?
Hi @barbaralee1704. This butter was really thick and sort of stiffened up after it settled. I don't think it would be easy to pipe. I was able to scoop it easily though. I hope this helps. Thank you for your comment.
