When you said I hope you make it and sell it!!!!!!!!! I was like Wow she’s a real one. So many people never want to share because of fear, but what we don’t realize is that our gift will make room for us…… We will always have opportunities to make money & get money we prosper more in life weather Health or Wealth when we share because we have our hands open to receive not closed cause we don’t get much with a clutch fist. Each and everyone of us will reach people that others won’t so no one is stealing any clients or anything like that. God Bless you❤❤❤❤ and Thank You
aw, thank you so much for your comment - it really did touch my heart. It is so sweet of you to take time out of what I am sure is a busy day to offer words of wisdom, encouragement and blessings - thank you 💞💞💞
Amen, my sistah❣️ A closed fist can neither give nor receive! People will tell you they made a million $$$ but won't take you by the hand and show you how to do it. I guess they'll take it to the grave to be buried with them. Never allowing that tree to flourish on the earth. Or they will but it is monetized! Kudos to you Walnut Creek Bath Boutique for breaking the mold❣️
Update! Bought and gave this to a very picky SIK...she gave me feedback today! Oohing and Aaahhing! Hit the bell homerun! 'Not greasy, soaks right in, feels amazing'...are a few of the things she said! AGREED! Phenom! Thank you!
This is my first visit to your channel, I was reading the comments, they are filled with love and respect for you Tammy, and that tells me a lot about you without knowing you. Thanks for keeping it real. P.S. I've just subscribed.
Hands down one of the best tutorials for making whipped body butter. The tips were amazing. I will def incorporate more refrigerator time as you did for my batches.
This looks luscious, I might make this one, Mango butter and all butters are soooo expensive here in New Zealand, the last butter I made which was more shea less Mango worked out to be $21 a jar to make, that's crazy! I think I will just make it for my family and not sell it. Thanks for the recipe and congrats on making 400 now!
I love your Channel Tammy because your channel is so real. You never panic and always smile even when things go not quite right. I think I would love to make this because it's not greasy. Hopefully I can get pumpkin oil readily in Australia. Your Body butter looks so luxurious.
Aww, thanks Tanya! I appreciate that! I have a trick if you can't get pumpkin oil - the trick is to go on to New Directions website and search any ol' oil you want to use. They have a great section that will tell you the absorbency of most oils - here is what it says about pumpkin: Absorption: Organic Pumpkin Seed Oil is readily absorbed by the skin. So any oil (or butter) that you want to swap, check here and if it states "readily absorbed" you should be good to swap for a non-greasy formula! Good Luck!💗
Bless you Tammy you’re very generous sharing your recipe. I am about to start my own body butter and your video is very detailed and I love how explained everything. Thank you you are a star
Wonderful video I’m so impressed I made it and shared with my senior group of ladies at church everyone was so impressed with it I find my self having to make more so watched your video few more times to be sure I followed your instruction to a T I’m proud to say my second round looks as lovely as my first now I’m hope that’s a good thing thst I’m getting request for more by my friends a couple of them have grandchildren as well and used on them snd such dry skin very impressed my self snd do thankful for your love and sharing Yes most of us are so tired of buying shelf products eith tons of chemicals added we can’t even pronounce
I’m very turned off by greasy body butters…but I love how luxurious they are. I’m thrilled to have found you! I’m making this recipe for a Mother’s Day gift to my mom..and myself 😆 thank you!!
Thank you for this tutorial with recipe. I love mango butter too, plus I add a little kokum butter and arrowroot powder to mine to help counteract greasiness. I was wondering if you could explain why it went back to the fridge so much.
Thanks for watching Debbie! Oh Kokum butter sounds lovely! I have some but only used it in shampoo bars. It went back into the fridge so often because that is something I saw Marie at humblebee and me do for a lovely final texture. I find that it holds the fluffiness better when put in the fridge. She actually whipped it every 10 min, but as my batch is so much larger I put it in closer to 30 between whipping.😊
thanks for the tip Lindsay! I usually end up putting the bowl in the freezer for the first 20-30 min depending on the size of my batch. Game Changer! 😊
Over the years I have made mine in bulk like this and then pop into a 5 lb lidded bucket and simply scoop out what I need to make batches of whipped :)
Thank you for this recipe!! It's fabulous. I'm just sticking my toes in making my own body care and skincare. This is a great starting point!! I'm taking all the notes I can!!
Good morning Sunshine! I loved your realness, as you showed honesty and beautiful joy in all you shared with us. I'm exploring the ideas of nature for whole body wellness.

Love from Nigeria Tammy. I make avocado body butter for kids as well without water. I love this your method very much. I will try it and also sell it. Thank you very much. God bless you.
Hi Beatrice - all the way over in Nigeria! 😀Thank you so much for your comment! I love the idea of avocado body butter...I mean really - I think that sounds so lovely. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, I really do appreciate it💖
haha thank you for letting me know that! of course I had to go watch 9:07 and see what I said/did to prompt that 😂😂 - yep - just me here doin my thing (and making mistakes and messes along the way!) 💗
Now, this is a tutorial!!! I live in Jamaica and we thrive for the sun-kissed glow! This will be the icing on the cake. Thx for sharing. (Edited: u have a subscriber from the islands) u rock!!
Have you ever just used arrowroot to combat the greasiness? If so, what are your thought on using arrowroot? Is it good for your skin or does it make any difference?
Hi Diana! I did use arrowroot powder the last time I made this (I think it was at 1%). I may have noticed a bit of a difference and I may include it from this point on as it is really good for skin. It is especially good for irritated skin. It also help moisturize skin. It really is a win win 😊
I never heard of pumpkin seed oil. I'm going to try that. I heat my mango and shea in the sun during warm months and cool in the fridge before whipping. Seems like I had grittiness when I used the freezer...not sure if that was the reason. Thank you so much for your channel. It's great!
Hi Cora! I'm so happy you found me!! Thank you for your kind words! What a great idea to heat your butters in the hot sun! That has to be more gentle than a stove or microwave!! I use the freezer because my batch is usually too big to do much in the fridge, I'm not sure if that would cause graininess or not though. Those butters sure are picky LOL (give that pumpkin seed oil a go, I think you will love it!!) 💗
Hi Tammy. I’m back!! I tried your recipe with one exchange-pumpkin for argan. Just like you said, our skin behaves differently and do my research and see what my skin likes. (Think that was a different video but your advice-which is spot on.). That was my first attempt. Made 6oz. Lol. Used it all. Batch 2: added one tiny tweak: a wee bit of arrowroot powder and for me, that was the magic! I only make enough for me (hobbyist) and I love being in charge of what is in my soaps, lotions and butters. Thank you again for being so gracious to share your recipes and fun as you make your items. PS. You are so lovely on screen and well, to me-you are so knowledgeable and a pro! And the best part, relatable! Someone I would love to share a cup of coffee and share laughs over the adventures of getting items in. USPS has sent my boxes (small ones) to every USPS PO Box but mine. I do feel for them-the pandemic has trebled their work. Again, all the best!
Oh I am so happy you are liking the recipe!!! I like you Argan switch! I have actually thought about adding a bit of arrowroot powder to my next batch. I kinda love it as it is but I'm also one that is always thinking "I could make this better" LOL I appreciate your taking the time to give me such encouraging words - that really means a lot to me. I actually feel the same way when I am talking to you guys on camera - I'm just gabbing away like we are sitting there figuring things out together. I also feel for the postal workers - and pretty much every worker actually. Shortages of workers are making everyone's job a bit harder.🤔💕
Thank you for sharing. It’s awesome to share!! 🙏 🙏 I would love it if you are willing to share any recipes for curly hair products. (My partner has curly hair)
I am working on a shampoo bar for curly hair that I hope to share soon. Also I am working on testing a co-wash that would be great for curly hair. Thanks for watching!!
Thank you so much for sharing lovely tutorial. I will attempt to make a small batch because you said it was not greasy especially in the hot climate like New Delhi India at the moment it is 42 Celsius.
Thank you! but I want to caution you - these are going to be heat sensitive - if your making them for yourself and they won't leave your home (as long as there is air conditioning) you should be fine. But with that temp they will melt really fast and then set up again and be all grainy good luck!
Oh my God this is incredible since i have been watching some other videos this is my fav nd i will use your recipes to start my business in SA ,thanks a lot dear ❤
I am new to body butter - in fact I haven't made it yet, but I like the sounds of this formula! I have a friend who prefers regular body butter as opposed to "whipped" body butter. Can you tell me the difference between the two? I have searched the web and cannot find an answer. This is a learning experience for me! Can this recipe be used as a regular body butter instead of the "whipped" version? Thanks for whatever help you can give me!
Hi Marylu! That's a great question, honestly the only difference (as far as I know) is literally as you would think. One you whip, this puts air in the product and gives it that fluffy almost spongy texture. For a non-whipped butter you would let it cool somewhat and pour into jars while still in the liquid form. This gives the butter a much firmer texture. Then you have some people that call a cream an emulsified body butter, this is more like a lotion in texture. Yes, this recipe can be made without whipping! I haven't tested this so if you make it like that I would love to hear what you (and your friend) think!😊
Hey, these are lovely, so creamy and fluffy 😍 wow! I agree with you, True Body Butter just has butters and oils and no water 👍🏻. Congratulations on 400 Subscriber 🎉 Thank you for sharing your recipe, have a wonderful day 💕 Take care ✨
do you have a smaller recipe that I could try ? I have made so many creams that don't work, so having a smaller recipe would be so helpful. thanks so much and I look forward to hearing from you.
Well, if you look in the description box the percentages are there for you to scale up or down. If that is a little confusing (I couldn't do that without a software - me and math - we don't like each other LOL) just take the amounts and keep dividing by half until you get to the size you are comfortable with. Good Luck!
Great video! I’m a newbiee at making body butter and will try your recipe in a small batch. My butter thens to go hard after refrigeration and whipping and I have to start all over. I’m determined not give up. 🤔😊
I would suggest lowering your butter % and increasing liquid oil just a bit at a time. also some butters will set up harder (kokum is super hard while shea is super soft the good news is it is easy to melt back down, adjust, and then start over - good luck!🤗
I just love your work. Can't wait to try this recipe. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us. I'm the same I'm trying to find the best non greasy body butter. Have a great day. Congratulations on your growth
I add a lil kaolin clay for a lil better whip up like frosting.. it also takes the greasyness away. It definitely works. If you don't have that use corn starch.
Tammy, So looking forward to trying your recipe. I have one I use but it is always great to try new things, you might always find something you like better. If you add a few tablespoons of tapioca or arrowroot starch to your body butters it really helps with that greasy feeling. It doesn't seem to affect the consistancy or texture. I also find it takes a few days before you notice the effect but just a FYI. Congrats on your subscribers. You really are so bubbly and sweet it is like spending time with a best friend. Thanks for sharing Tammy
Aww, thanks Janet!! That is so sweet of you! I have thought about adding a starch but really I just don't see the need for it. I have also thought about adding some stearic acid because the melt point on this recipe is pretty low so shipping in summer or outdoor shows is out for me...
I love pumpkin seed oil. Especially for my scalp and hair. I’m trying your recipes. Definitely agree with body butters do not have water. It seems to be a newer trend to name thicker lotions as butters. New subscriber btw.
Thanks for sharing Tracy! I haven't used pumpkin seed oil for my scalp/hair - but I love the idea of it!!! hmm, no you have me thinking 😆 - thanks for subscribing, I'm so happy you are here!!
I just now found your channel and this older video popped up on you tube. This is very interesting. How long will your products last? I watched another video of a lady making chamomile lotion and she said she added a preservative because otherwise it wouldn’t last very long. Thanks for sharing how you make this. I’d love to try making some.
HI Pam! I'm so glad you stopped by and watched my video! You don't have to add a preservative to this recipe as there is no water added. Also there is a low chance of water being introduced to the jar with wet hands. This jar will last a good year, but that also depends on how old your oils are. Vit E is added to help the oils/butters from going rancid too quickly. Let me know if you try it or if you have any other questions!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I plan on making it this weekend. My question is can I make a big batch and store it in one big container and only scoop when I get an order. I will be using different scents per order. So basically this would be my base. I love your videos. You are so down to earth. I am a new subscriber.
Thank you so much for your help! I've been having so much trouble coming up with a recipe, either too greasy or grainy 😩I was wondering if adding powdered goats milk make it grainy or what are your thoughts? I read many great benefits from it as well!
I don't think I would add it goat's milk. The powder would not do much for the skin unless it is reconstituted in water (in my opinion) and then you are looking at a lotion situation instead of a butter.
Because it's mango butter does it need a preservative? Have you ever had issues with mold? My second batch got moldy so not sure if it was due to condensation on my end.
@@bluecindy15 I have not had issues with molding. I don't think the mango butter makes a formula need preserving. I will say that since making this video I have learned that we should not put hot ingredients in the fridge/freezer. The condensation can cause problems. I now let my mixture cool down close to room temp before putting it in the fridge. I think one of the things to watch for is that not cooling quick enough can cause shea and mango to go grainy. I think next time I might just add it to an ice bath. That way it cools quickly and the condensation can go into the air and not back into the bow. Hope that helps!!
I must say that I was surprised to see ‘organic’ Pumpkin Kernel Oil come in that plastic bottle. Looking at the volume of your supply you must be fortunate in the States for it not to be too expensive. Here, a good quality, pure Pumpkin Kernel Oil, I last saw, would set me back $67 for 500ml in a dark glass bottle. Great stuff! // Well done on abandoning the use of colourants- the body doesn’t want or need them. How about rethinking the use of ‘fragrance oils’ - they are neuro toxins. Pure Essential Oils are extracts from the benevolence of Mother Nature Herself and used with respect and research are by far more beneficial and enjoyable than any synthetic creation by man. 😊
@@brigidlaffey7343 I don't use it on my face, but I suppose you can. I mostly use it as an aftershave lotion. Also any dry patches are areas, like elbows and feet. :)
Hi How do you seal your hair curls naturally? Please advice if you do use any natural formulation without chemicals 😊 You have such a beautiful curls !
Thank you! That is very kind of you 💕I use both natural (my shampoo and conditioner bars) and then store bought curl creams and gels. I also used to deep condition my hair every week but am down to just once a month or so. I spend a good amount of time on them once a week and then very minimal the rest. But I learned to sleep in a bonnet and a silk pillowcase, I don't use a regular towel (microfiber only) and I have learned how to refresh them better. But I still have a few frizzy days a week - don't let me fool ya 😂
Thank you for sharing this recipe with us i will try to make one for me. Can you tell me please do you have to be licennced to sell creams soaps sprays do you have to have a degree or something like that. Thank you.
In Indiana I do not have to be licensed in the sense of say a schooling or testing (like a nurse would) or anything. I do have to have a merchant license to sell and collect sales tax to the state. I think every state/country has their own rules though.
Thank you for sharing, beginner here and interested on making my own natural y healthy products, can you tell me do you use refined or natural butters?
I use refined. I personally don't want to fight the strong scents that unrefined brings to the product. But some people that are wanting super natural products will use unrefined. Good Luck!!!
Does the heat affect the vit E, is that why you waited till cooler to add? Seems like it would have mixed better with everything when it was more fluid, but I dont know if that would be ok. great video
thanks! I have learned since making this video that vit E is much less heat sensitive than I knew. I now add it to my heated "anything" because you are completely right, it mixes in way better that way. Thanks for watching!! 🤗😀
Thank you for sharing a recipe!! I want to try this recipe but not buy in large quantities until I do. I looked at pumpkin seed oil besides Soapers Choice and what I saw was colorless. Does that matter? It was not organic.
I believe there are different colors from different suppliers. I buy from Soaper's Choice and it is a dark green, I believe Wholesale Supplies Plus has it that is more of a pale yellow. I would suggest looking around at where you buy oils from and seeing what they offer. I have learned to embrace the color, but I remember when I first started using it I was not sure about it! Good Luck!!
300 subscribers? That will go up quickly! You’re amazing and REAL ❤️. I didn’t read all the comments so I apologize if someone already asked this but does this recipe ship ok without melting during these hot summer months?
Hi Rose! Thank you for your sweet words!💖💖💖 - for shipping - that is a hard no, LOL - this is pretty heat sensitive. Outdoor shows in the summer, no, shipping in the summer, no - but I have had success shipping in the winter. I am going to work on having a second formula that is more heat stable next year (I hope). I love this one so much I hate to change it, but I do loose sales due to not being able to ship in the summer🤔
Hi Sneha! You can really use any oil that you prefer. I try to make this as non-greasy as I can so I would choose an oil that has a fast absorption rate. If you check out new directions website they have a really good section on their oils and butters that will tell you if an oil is fast absorbing or not. It is my go-to for that info. - here is a link to show what I mean, scroll down to the absorption section: www.newdirectionsaromatics.com/products/carrier-oils/pumpkin-seed-organic-carrier-oil.html good luck!
Thanks!! My best thought would be (if you have trouble using the percentages) is to take my amounts and just keep halving everything until you get to the size that works for you. Hope that helps some!
Hi. Is there a substitution for pumpkin seed oil? I do not care for the dark colour or scent. Sadly I am migraine prone and certain scents trigger migraines. Would jojoba or argan oil be a suitable swap? Thank you for the lovely recipe! Best regards.
Hi RT - for this formula I would say any fast absorbing oil will be a good replacement - I love to look at New Directions for this info - I checked argan and here is what it says: Absorption: Absorbs into skin at an average speed, leaving a slight oily feeling on skin. I prefer to have oils the state "readily absorb" but if you are good with a more oily end product it would be fine to use. Hope this helps!😀
My daughter and I really enjoyed watching you and your video and thank you for sharing your recipe. We are going to try out your recipe. I was wondering if you could suggest the best place for us to buy the ingredients including a place to purchase scents. We do have our business license to purchase wholesale. Thank you.
Hi Tammy! If you are buying ingredients in an amount around 16 oz or less I would say Wholesale Supplies Plus or Bramble Berry. Natures garden would also be a good place. they all have ingredients and your packaging. If you are buying in a larger amount (over 7 pounds) I would suggest Soapers Choice. They have the best prices and the best shipping times. Thanks for watching!!💖
Thank you for sharing the recipe. Im just getting into making organic skin care and every other video i saw was using esthers or conservatives or chemicals i cant even pronounce. I will make it. Maybe we can share experiences :)
You can but I don't. Since there is no water in the formula and no real worry of water being added to it while using I don't think it is necessary. I hope it turns out for you!! 💖
Yes! it is very soft and spongy! But this has a lot to do with how long you mix it. It can be tricky- no enough and it gets pretty firm and hard to "scoop" . Too much and the butter will deflate over time leaving it looking odd in the container, like you shorted someone on product. (I've done both!😆)
Thanks Yvette! I split the batch into 4, each with 16 oz each - that gave me a total of 6 4 oz jars with about 3 oz in each. (for each scent) - total recipe yielded 24 jars Hope that helps!! Thank you for watching😊
You mentioned that Shea butter is grainy, well, if you over heat that butter it will be grainy. I would suggest you wait to add the Shea butter AFTER you have heated the other oils, so to no overheat it, and let it melt gently.
When you said I hope you make it and sell it!!!!!!!!! I was like Wow she’s a real one. So many people never want to share because of fear, but what we don’t realize is that our gift will make room for us…… We will always have opportunities to make money & get money we prosper more in life weather Health or Wealth when we share because we have our hands open to receive not closed cause we don’t get much with a clutch fist.

Your so right, body butters doesn't contain water. Love the video :)

Hi Diana! I did use arrowroot powder the last time I made this (I think it was at 1%). I may have noticed a bit of a difference and I may include it from this point on as it is really good for skin. It is especially good for irritated skin. It also help moisturize skin. It really is a win win 😊
I never heard of pumpkin seed oil. I'm going to try that. I heat my mango and shea in the sun during warm months and cool in the fridge before whipping. Seems like I had grittiness when I used the freezer...not sure if that was the reason. Thank you so much for your channel. It's great!
Hi Cora! I'm so happy you found me!! Thank you for your kind words! What a great idea to heat your butters in the hot sun! That has to be more gentle than a stove or microwave!! I use the freezer because my batch is usually too big to do much in the fridge, I'm not sure if that would cause graininess or not though. Those butters sure are picky LOL (give that pumpkin seed oil a go, I think you will love it!!) 💗
Hi Tammy. I’m back!! I tried your recipe with one exchange-pumpkin for argan. Just like you said, our skin behaves differently and do my research and see what my skin likes. (Think that was a different video but your advice-which is spot on.). That was my first attempt. Made 6oz. Lol. Used it all. Batch 2: added one tiny tweak: a wee bit of arrowroot powder and for me, that was the magic! I only make enough for me (hobbyist) and I love being in charge of what is in my soaps, lotions and butters. Thank you again for being so gracious to share your recipes and fun as you make your items. PS. You are so lovely on screen and well, to me-you are so knowledgeable and a pro! And the best part, relatable! Someone I would love to share a cup of coffee and share laughs over the adventures of getting items in. USPS has sent my boxes (small ones) to every USPS PO Box but mine. I do feel for them-the pandemic has trebled their work. Again, all the best!
Oh I am so happy you are liking the recipe!!! I like you Argan switch! I have actually thought about adding a bit of arrowroot powder to my next batch. I kinda love it as it is but I'm also one that is always thinking "I could make this better" LOL
I appreciate your taking the time to give me such encouraging words - that really means a lot to me. I actually feel the same way when I am talking to you guys on camera - I'm just gabbing away like we are sitting there figuring things out together. I also feel for the postal workers - and pretty much every worker actually. Shortages of workers are making everyone's job a bit harder.🤔💕
Argan oil sounds lovely! Would you be willing to share what ratio/percentage you added the arrowroot at?
Loved watching this! Huge fan of body butters, natural products and scents. ❤❤❤
thank you! and thank you for watching!!! 💞
Thank you for sharing. It’s awesome to share!! 🙏 🙏
I would love it if you are willing to share any recipes for curly hair products. (My partner has curly hair)
I am working on a shampoo bar for curly hair that I hope to share soon. Also I am working on testing a co-wash that would be great for curly hair.
Thanks for watching!!
Thanks. Can’t wait to watch and try it 🙏
Thank you so much for sharing lovely tutorial. I will attempt to make a small batch because you said it was not greasy especially in the hot climate like New Delhi India at the moment it is 42 Celsius.
Thank you! but I want to caution you - these are going to be heat sensitive - if your making them for yourself and they won't leave your home (as long as there is air conditioning) you should be fine. But with that temp they will melt really fast and then set up again and be all grainy
good luck!
Great thanks for sharing! I love mango butter as well one of my fave ingredients for body butter
It's the best right?!😀
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique absolute best! I can’t wait to see more of your content! Have a great one
Oh my God this is incredible since i have been watching some other videos this is my fav nd i will use your recipes to start my business in SA ,thanks a lot dear ❤
aw thank you for sharing! That really makes me feel good and it is kind of you to take time out to tell me that! Good Luck in your business!!! ❤️
I am new to body butter - in fact I haven't made it yet, but I like the sounds of this formula! I have a friend who prefers regular body butter as opposed to "whipped" body butter. Can you tell me the difference between the two? I have searched the web and cannot find an answer. This is a learning experience for me! Can this recipe be used as a regular body butter instead of the "whipped" version? Thanks for whatever help you can give me!
Hi Marylu! That's a great question, honestly the only difference (as far as I know) is literally as you would think. One you whip, this puts air in the product and gives it that fluffy almost spongy texture. For a non-whipped butter you would let it cool somewhat and pour into jars while still in the liquid form. This gives the butter a much firmer texture. Then you have some people that call a cream an emulsified body butter, this is more like a lotion in texture. Yes, this recipe can be made without whipping! I haven't tested this so if you make it like that I would love to hear what you (and your friend) think!😊
Is the best body butter I’ve seen on UA-cam. Absolutely amazing
Wow, thank you! That means a lot to me! I'm so glad you like it!!♥😀
You seem so happy! Beautiful soul! I'll be trying this soon!
aw, thank you! That is very kind of you to say🤗
Really cool, I will definitely try this formula. I really appreciate your knowledge and input.
Please do! Let me know how you like it if you do!🤗
Hey, these are lovely, so creamy and fluffy 😍 wow!
I agree with you, True Body Butter just has butters and oils and no water 👍🏻.
Congratulations on 400 Subscriber 🎉
Thank you for sharing your recipe, have a wonderful day 💕 Take care ✨
Thank you so mch!!♥
Thank you so much for this recipe it’s the best, I will try to make it at home
Most welcome 😊 Hope it all goes well for you!!

Peppermint and vanilla for the scent
And castor
oh that sounds absolutely lovely! Peppermint and Vanilla?? I like the sound of that! Thank you for sharing🤗
Thanks for sharing the recipie, I will make it for myself and family :). Greetings from Poland :)
You are welcome 😊 I hope you like it! 🤗💗
do you have a smaller recipe that I could try ? I have made so many creams that don't work, so having a smaller recipe would be so helpful. thanks so much and I look forward to hearing from you.
Well, if you look in the description box the percentages are there for you to scale up or down. If that is a little confusing (I couldn't do that without a software - me and math - we don't like each other LOL) just take the amounts and keep dividing by half until you get to the size you are comfortable with. Good Luck!
Great video! I’m a newbiee at making body butter and will try your recipe in a small batch. My butter thens to go hard after refrigeration and whipping and I have to start all over. I’m determined not give up. 🤔😊
I would suggest lowering your butter % and increasing liquid oil just a bit at a time.
also some butters will set up harder (kokum is super hard while shea is super soft
the good news is it is easy to melt back down, adjust, and then start over - good luck!🤗
I just love your work. Can't wait to try this recipe. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us. I'm the same I'm trying to find the best non greasy body butter. Have a great day. Congratulations on your growth
You are so welcome! thank you so much for your comment!!🤗
This video helped me so much , I’m starting my body butter business 😊
oh I'm so glad Leshia! Good Luck in your new business!!! 🤗
Adding body butter and scrub to my small business so this helped so much
I'm so glad! Good luck with your new line!!🤗
I add a lil kaolin clay for a lil better whip up like frosting.. it also takes the greasyness away. It definitely works. If you don't have that use corn starch.
That's a great idea! Thank you for sharing Starla💖
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique your very welcome
Just discovered this and subscribed. Will try your recipe. You have such a nice, warm vibe too. Thank you
aw, thank you so much for your kind words! 💗
Hello, Can you tell me the size of the amber jars you purchased or share a link to them? Thank you so much for the video!
Tammy, So looking forward to trying your recipe. I have one I use but it is always great to try new things, you might always find something you like better. If you add a few tablespoons of tapioca or arrowroot starch to your body butters it really helps with that greasy feeling. It doesn't seem to affect the consistancy or texture. I also find it takes a few days before you notice the effect but just a FYI. Congrats on your subscribers. You really are so bubbly and sweet it is like spending time with a best friend. Thanks for sharing Tammy
Aww, thanks Janet!! That is so sweet of you! I have thought about adding a starch but really I just don't see the need for it. I have also thought about adding some stearic acid because the melt point on this recipe is pretty low so shipping in summer or outdoor shows is out for me...
Nice!You definately love doing this!Another benefit is that you get to exercise..
Most definitely!😆
this is amazing! you should split the batches so it can cool faster!
dang! Why didn't I think of that!?!? 😂
Wow! That’s a lot of work!! Ty for sharing your video.
yes, it was a full day! I'm better at my process since this video LOL
I had to learn to be - whew!!😂
Thank you this is so kind of you

Thank you so much for this tutorial and recipe. I am going to give it a try! How much Vitamin E oil did you add? Thank you!
I'm glad you are going to try it! Hopefully you love it as much as I do. I use 1% Vit E. - good luck!! 🤗
Oh my goodness THANK YOU!!!
You are very Welcome!!!😊
I love pumpkin seed oil. Especially for my scalp and hair. I’m trying your recipes. Definitely agree with body butters do not have water. It seems to be a newer trend to name thicker lotions as butters. New subscriber btw.
Thanks for sharing Tracy! I haven't used pumpkin seed oil for my scalp/hair - but I love the idea of it!!! hmm, no you have me thinking 😆 - thanks for subscribing, I'm so happy you are here!!
I just now found your channel and this older video popped up on you tube. This is very interesting. How long will your products last? I watched another video of a lady making chamomile lotion and she said she added a preservative because otherwise it wouldn’t last very long. Thanks for sharing how you make this. I’d love to try making some.
HI Pam! I'm so glad you stopped by and watched my video! You don't have to add a preservative to this recipe as there is no water added. Also there is a low chance of water being introduced to the jar with wet hands. This jar will last a good year, but that also depends on how old your oils are. Vit E is added to help the oils/butters from going rancid too quickly. Let me know if you try it or if you have any other questions!
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique thanks so much!
I agree with you. No water should be body butter
I know, Right?!?! 🤗
yay!! I have all the ingredients :) Thank you for sharing!
YAY! Hope you like it! - let me know how it goes for you! 💗
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I plan on making it this weekend. My question is can I make a big batch and store it in one big container and only scoop when I get an order. I will be using different scents per order. So basically this would be my base. I love your videos. You are so down to earth. I am a new subscriber.
thank you so much for subscribing and your sweet words! Yes you can store it as a base! I actually just did this and it works perfectly!
Good Luck! 💗
thanks for the video! always was curious about making my own. your source materials list is helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!🤗
Thank you so much for your help! I've been having so much trouble coming up with a recipe, either too greasy or grainy 😩I was wondering if adding powdered goats milk make it grainy or what are your thoughts? I read many great benefits from it as well!
I don't think I would add it goat's milk. The powder would not do much for the skin unless it is reconstituted in water (in my opinion) and then you are looking at a lotion situation instead of a butter.
Because it's mango butter does it need a preservative? Have you ever had issues with mold? My second batch got moldy so not sure if it was due to condensation on my end.
@@bluecindy15 I have not had issues with molding. I don't think the mango butter makes a formula need preserving. I will say that since making this video I have learned that we should not put hot ingredients in the fridge/freezer. The condensation can cause problems. I now let my mixture cool down close to room temp before putting it in the fridge. I think one of the things to watch for is that not cooling quick enough can cause shea and mango to go grainy. I think next time I might just add it to an ice bath. That way it cools quickly and the condensation can go into the air and not back into the bow.
Hope that helps!!
Does corn starch have the same effect on the greasiness of the butter or is the arrowroot best to use?♥️
I honestly don't know. I have never tried it and I don't think I have ever seen anyone else use it.🤔
I really enjoyed watching you make this. Thanks for sharing your recipe I’m going to try it 😄
Hope you enjoy Trina! Thanks for watching!!

I make my body butter the same way you do lol great minds think just a like .. I love thick luscious body butter too and not greasy
YES!~ I love this one so much! Thanks so much for watching!🤗
I must say that I was surprised to see ‘organic’ Pumpkin Kernel Oil come in that plastic bottle. Looking at the volume of your supply you must be fortunate in the States for it not to be too expensive. Here, a good quality, pure Pumpkin Kernel Oil, I last saw, would set me back $67 for 500ml in a dark glass bottle. Great stuff! // Well done on abandoning the use of colourants- the body doesn’t want or need them. How about rethinking the use of ‘fragrance oils’ - they are neuro toxins. Pure Essential Oils are extracts from the benevolence of Mother Nature Herself and used with respect and research are by far more beneficial and enjoyable than any synthetic creation by man. 😊
wow that is expensive!😱 That bottle cost me about $67 or so and it is 7 pounds! 😊
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique 😮Wow! Amazing. 😊 P. S. Do you use this Butter on your face, or simply as named, upon your body?
@@brigidlaffey7343 I don't use it on my face, but I suppose you can. I mostly use it as an aftershave lotion. Also any dry patches are areas, like elbows and feet. :)
Hi
How do you seal your hair curls naturally? Please advice if you do use any natural formulation without chemicals 😊
You have such a beautiful curls !
Thank you! That is very kind of you 💕I use both natural (my shampoo and conditioner bars) and then store bought curl creams and gels. I also used to deep condition my hair every week but am down to just once a month or so. I spend a good amount of time on them once a week and then very minimal the rest. But I learned to sleep in a bonnet and a silk pillowcase, I don't use a regular towel (microfiber only) and I have learned how to refresh them better. But I still have a few frizzy days a week - don't let me fool ya 😂
Thank you for sharing this recipe with us i will try to make one for me. Can you tell me please do you have to be licennced to sell creams soaps sprays do you have to have a degree or something like that. Thank you.
In Indiana I do not have to be licensed in the sense of say a schooling or testing (like a nurse would) or anything. I do have to have a merchant license to sell and collect sales tax to the state. I think every state/country has their own rules though.
Thank you for sharing, beginner here and interested on making my own natural y healthy products, can you tell me do you use refined or natural butters?
I use refined. I personally don't want to fight the strong scents that unrefined brings to the product. But some people that are wanting super natural products will use unrefined. Good Luck!!!
Love this 💝 Love you 💕 New subscriber 🙌🙌🙌 Now I have to go find me some pumpkinseed oil ✔️✔️
Thanks for watching and subscribing! And for your sweet comment 🤗💕
Does the heat affect the vit E, is that why you waited till cooler to add? Seems like it would have mixed better with everything when it was more fluid, but I dont know if that would be ok. great video
thanks! I have learned since making this video that vit E is much less heat sensitive than I knew. I now add it to my heated "anything" because you are completely right, it mixes in way better that way. Thanks for watching!! 🤗😀
Thank you for sharing a recipe!! I want to try this recipe but not buy in large quantities until I do. I looked at pumpkin seed oil besides Soapers Choice and what I saw was colorless. Does that matter? It was not organic.
I don't think it makes a difference. the last time I bought it I bought the clear and it was all fine.
Good luck!! 🤗
You can get pumpkin seeds oil at Walmart in the baking section
Thank you for the excellent tutorial! I am interested in trying the pumpkin seed oil but would like to avoid the tint. Do you have any suggestions?
I believe there are different colors from different suppliers. I buy from Soaper's Choice and it is a dark green, I believe Wholesale Supplies Plus has it that is more of a pale yellow. I would suggest looking around at where you buy oils from and seeing what they offer. I have learned to embrace the color, but I remember when I first started using it I was not sure about it! Good Luck!!
Great job. Love the steps.
thanks Joanne!! 🤗
300 subscribers? That will go up quickly! You’re amazing and REAL ❤️. I didn’t read all the comments so I apologize if someone already asked this but does this recipe ship ok without melting during these hot summer months?
Hi Rose! Thank you for your sweet words!💖💖💖 - for shipping - that is a hard no, LOL - this is pretty heat sensitive. Outdoor shows in the summer, no, shipping in the summer, no - but I have had success shipping in the winter. I am going to work on having a second formula that is more heat stable next year (I hope). I love this one so much I hate to change it, but I do loose sales due to not being able to ship in the summer🤔
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique Thanks again! I completely understand not wanting to change your recipe as I have one of those too ;)
Thanks for the content friend! I’m going to
Try this..
I hope you like it as much as I do!! 💕
Thank you so much for the amazing recipes. 😇💞 What can I use instead of Pumpkin seed oil ?
Hi Sneha! You can really use any oil that you prefer. I try to make this as non-greasy as I can so I would choose an oil that has a fast absorption rate. If you check out new directions website they have a really good section on their oils and butters that will tell you if an oil is fast absorbing or not. It is my go-to for that info. - here is a link to show what I mean, scroll down to the absorption section: www.newdirectionsaromatics.com/products/carrier-oils/pumpkin-seed-organic-carrier-oil.html good luck!
I love real world tutorials. New follower and I am happy watching your tutorials.
aww, thank you so much! I really appreciate that and am happy you are here!!! 🥰
Can you formulate a much smaller batch please.. it looks divine!
Thanks!! My best thought would be (if you have trouble using the percentages) is to take my amounts and just keep halving everything until you get to the size that works for you. Hope that helps some!
Hi. Is there a substitution for pumpkin seed oil? I do not care for the dark colour or scent. Sadly I am migraine prone and certain scents trigger migraines. Would jojoba or argan oil be a suitable swap?
Thank you for the lovely recipe! Best regards.
Hi RT - for this formula I would say any fast absorbing oil will be a good replacement - I love to look at New Directions for this info - I checked argan and here is what it says: Absorption: Absorbs into skin at an average speed, leaving a slight oily feeling on skin. I prefer to have oils the state "readily absorb" but if you are good with a more oily end product it would be fine to use. Hope this helps!😀
I keep coming back to this recipe lol soo creamy
YAY!!! I'm so glad you like it! 💖
Awesome video 👏, where do you buy your oils from?
Website please!
Hi, thank you! I get most of my oils from Soaper's Choice - www.soaperschoice.com/
I have to try it. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️Looks delicious to eat. 💕💕💕💕
You are welcome! It really is lucious! 💖
My daughter and I really enjoyed watching you and your video and thank you for sharing your recipe. We are going to try out your recipe. I was wondering if you could suggest the best place for us to buy the ingredients including a place to purchase scents. We do have our business license to purchase wholesale. Thank you.
Hi Tammy! If you are buying ingredients in an amount around 16 oz or less I would say Wholesale Supplies Plus or Bramble Berry. Natures garden would also be a good place. they all have ingredients and your packaging.
If you are buying in a larger amount (over 7 pounds) I would suggest Soapers Choice. They have the best prices and the best shipping times.
Thanks for watching!!💖
Thank you for sharing the recipe. Im just getting into making organic skin care and every other video i saw was using esthers or conservatives or chemicals i cant even pronounce.
I will make it. Maybe we can share experiences :)

I hope you do Milly!!! Good luck with it! 💖
Hi! Thank you for the recipe, I'm going to make it this week. I am wondering if I should add optiphen to the batch?
You can but I don't. Since there is no water in the formula and no real worry of water being added to it while using I don't think it is necessary. I hope it turns out for you!! 💖
Thanks for sharing this. Definitely want to try your recipe.
Please let me know if you do and how you like it!💖
Awesome video! What is your suggestion to use to wipe off the jars after filling? Also, what size bottle is that of fragrance oil in the video?
I just use some 71% alcohol on a paper towel to clean the jars. That was a 16 oz bottle in the video. Hope this helps!
Love this
thanks! I love them too 🤗
Beautiful! The million dollar question. After 3-4 days does it harden? I know it will some but will it get very stiff?
Yes! it is very soft and spongy! But this has a lot to do with how long you mix it. It can be tricky- no enough and it gets pretty firm and hard to "scoop" . Too much and the butter will deflate over time leaving it looking odd in the container, like you shorted someone on product. (I've done both!😆)
Great tutorial! I really loved watching this. For this batch... how many 4oz jars were you able to fill?
Thanks Yvette! I split the batch into 4, each with 16 oz each - that gave me a total of 6 4 oz jars with about 3 oz in each. (for each scent) - total recipe yielded 24 jars
Hope that helps!! Thank you for watching😊

You mentioned that Shea butter is grainy, well, if you over heat that butter it will be grainy. I would suggest you wait to add the Shea butter AFTER you have heated the other oils, so to no overheat it, and let it melt gently.
