TRANSCRIPT:
Today I'm going to show you how to make a rose infused Kokum Butter. And we're gonna need dry rose petals, almond oil, rose absolute or rose essential oil, pink mica and of course our Kokum Butter.
When we infuse oils we like to do big batches so you can have extra oil for different recipes. So today we'll be using 8 ounces of almond oil and 1 cup of dry rose flowers. We're going to completely cover the rose petals with the almond oil. We have the oil and the roses infusing in a double boiler system at low heat. It will be there for at least two hours infusing, but four hours is ideal.
So I've run the oil that was infused with the petals through a strainer and there's the oil infused. It smells delicious, those little speckles are leftover flowers. If they bother you or you don't want them you could just strain it again through a coffee filter or similar cloth.
And here we have 3/4 of a cup of the rose infused oil and 1 cup of cut-up Kokum Butter. We have the Kokum in our usual double boiler system, and we're pouring in the oil and let it all melt.
Here is our melted Kokum butter and the rose infused oil. I will put it in the freezer for about half an hour until it is partly solid.
So here it is, I took that out of the freezer it was there for about an hour. So you will want to leave it between 30 minutes to an hour until it mostly solidifies, but it is still soft to the touch, and you can tell from my fingerprints that it is soft to the touch. So now it is ready to be stirred or whipped.
Before we add the optional essential oil and mica, I'm going to stir it up a little bit to make it creamy. I have added rose essential oil and glittery pink mica.
Look how nice and soft it is, it looks just like whipping cream, I love it.
So kokum butter is a healing butter, great for dry skin. Almond oil and roses are completely soothing so your skin will love you.
I use this recipe on my arms, chest, legs, feet and face every night before bed. I will never buy store brand lotion again. I love to make my own. Im going to make the anti aging cream next.
Fabricated Reality does this get really hard over time or does it still retain some softness?
@@chuchisbestlife9396 stays soft. Its firm but as soon as you touch it its melting.
Are you still using it?
I just ordered the ingredients ❤
YAY!!! You'll love this so much, we can't get over how awesome this body butter is.
Where can I purchase the mica scooper? It is beautiful
Thank you for this simple and versatile recipe. I am certainly trying this. 🙏🌹
Let us see when you do!
Awesome video. Thank you
Can I use rose petal powder instead of rose petals in this recipe? And smthg else like beetroot powder instead of pink mica to bring out the pink colour..
Yes.
I love this thanks for sharing
When you use kokum butter, whip it and everything, and add allyour product does it go back to its natural state (Harder butter) when it is cooled?? If so can i add a softer butter to make it less hard?? if so which butter would you recommend for a more softer creamier whipped butter? Thanks in advance
Yes that happens which is whily u need to balance the quantity of your Kokum butter with 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 parts of a softer butter (shea) or carrier oil such as coconut, olive, almond, jojoba, avocado, etc depending on part of body you want to use it. (Comedogenicity etc) Enjoy.

Ty for your suggestions was wondering why my cocoa butter came out whipped after I place in containers then hardens afterwards good but I want more moisturizer texture Ty again 😁
Sorry so many questions these butters look creamy but are they greasy when hit the skin if so if want non greasy cream can you add arrowroot to mixture . Thank you
Yes, add 1 tablespoon of arrowroot powder to this recipe, slowly and through a sieve so you don't get clumps. Also, these body butters are meant to use in very small amounts, they are 100% butters and oils vs the lotions we are used to, which are about 80% water and 10% oils/butters.
I tried this recipe yesterday, I replaced almond oil with avocado oil and the body butter became hard overnight. I don’t like the consistency, so I am going to te melt it and add almond oil to see if it gets creamier.
Definitely try a bit more oil. Your humidity levels and things like that can play a role!
Is there a way I can reintroduce the rose petals so that they don’t go to waste
You could mix the rose petals with 2 cups of epsom salt and make a relaxing bath soak.
Great ideas
What other Butters would you suggest to use instead of the Kokum Butter? Also can I use gear gum to make less oily on the skin?
You can use any butters, but the formula and percentage of butter will change a bit if you want the same consistency. Look for our other videos for ides :) and yes, guar gum or other thickeners work in cutting down the oily feeling, make sure you experiment with a little bit at a time and add it to the whipping step, not to the melted butter. Add in a powder using a sieve so that the powder is not clumpy at all.
Better Shea Butter thank you!!!
Can butters be used as face cream too great receipes thank you
Yes, all our butters can be used as they are for body and face moisturizing.
Some butters and oils can clog the pores
Can i add grapeseed oil and tea tree oil in this?
Yes! Replace the Almond oil with grapeseed, and Essential Oils are always a personal choice.
@@Isabella-lm5ep almond and grapeseed oil both can be used together?
Thanks
Have you got a face moisturiser receipe on your site as i only want small amount so I try to half everything at what stage do I add Aeroflot thank you again
Try this one:
bettersheabutter.com/heavenly-day-night-face-moisturizer-recipe/
Can this be done with lavender or chamomile flower?
Yes!
Can i use this on my face everyday?
Yes, it's wonderful as a daily face moisturizer!
Very nice. Do you think 4hrs is ideal for most herbs/flowers etc?
Is mica safe for eczema, psoriasis etc?
New sub😘
4 hour is ideal, yes. The mica used in this formula is so minute, I don't believe it will affect your skin, but what do I know, I'm not a doctor :/
@@BetterSheaButter
😂Not a dr?
Thanks for info. I want to start my business but I'm going to take a formulation class first. I've dodged chemistry and now I have to face it head on lol
Thanks for info 😘
Does the almond oil separate from the kokum butter after awhile? Also can this sit out at room temperature? thanks for the video!
No, oil does not separate, only water would - but we don't have it in this recipe. Also, sorry about the super delayed answer, I just saw your comment.
How long will it keep for?
Amazing! Just 1 question. Can i add vitamin "e" to preserve the cream?
Hello Lina, you do not need a preservative with this formula since it does not contain any water, however our customers have mentioned that they like to use Vitamin E for its antioxidant qualities to boost their formulas :)
Can you replace the Kokum butter with Shea Butter? And what is the shelf life?
Yes you can use shea butter instead of kokum, but because shea is a softer butter, the final result may be a little softer overall. But you will love it
Hello. I see this post is from two years ago but I made it just today. It came out very greasy I’m wondering, if in fact you even see this, if you could help me resolve my issue. I substituted the almond oil with half almond oil half avocado. Do you think that is where I made my mistake? I also added arrow root to try and take some of the greasiness away without any luck. Any suggestions? Thoughts?
Hi!! I'm glad you found our video :) Avocado oil has a comedogenic rating of 3, which means it is very likely to clog pores, as well as feel heavier and more oily. Arrow root is a great ingredient, but really can't stop all of that oil. If you can manage to double the recipe instead of re-making it and just add a non comedogenic oil instead of avocado oil, that could do the trick! Almond oil and apricot oil are both great.
Hi, how much quantity does this recipe make in oz?
Could you also make one using pistachio or pomegranate?
I filled about 4 4-oz jars with this recipe. You could definitely try a pomegranate or pistachio fragrance oil instead of the rose EO
hi... is there any substitute for almond oil? can i use sunflower oil?
Yes, that would work.
@@BetterSheaButter thank you :)
Do you have any specific brand recommendations for the rose absolute essential oil? Price does not matter I just want great quality. thanks in advance
Hi there! I really just run to my local Whole Foods and grab what they have. But there are many online! Always check reviews and make sure it's pure.
Where do you purchase your micas?
Amazon
What is shelf life of this without any preservatives?
When you make it take a look at your ingredients. Whichever product has the soonest expiration date, that will be the expiration date of the final product :)
Hey
Thanks for your video
Does the mica form part of formulation? X
Mica powder is too light to measure in weight, just add enough TSP or TBSP to your formula to give it the shade or color you desire.
Hi, I am curious to know how many jars does this recipe fill? I also have other questions as i am getting ready to launch my body butter business. do you have an email i can reach you personally?
We didn't keep record of how many jars it fills, it was enough to show how to whip it for a tutorial. You can email info@bettersheabutter.com with any questions you have :)
If halved all amounts would it come out ok
Yes!
Hi
My skin is oily and acne prone. I want to try making some body butter or body lotion for myself. I haven't used any cream on my face all my life. Please suggest me a recipe 🙂
Also from where can I buy other products like mica as u don't have them
I would start with 1 ingredient only on your skin, try pure shea butter and rosehip seed oil, just alternate them one in the morning and one at night. If your skin likes them, you can then start formulating your own recipes with only a few ingredients and nothing synthetic. We have tons of recipes on our blog and here on youtube, most of them would honestly work for both body and face. Mica is easy to find on Amazon.
@@BetterSheaButter thanks for your reply.. I am gonna order it today from Better Shea Butter. Have read some really good reviews on your raw Shea Butter.
Do these butters stay creamy or do they solidify eventually?
Everything with a butter gets more solid after it settles. This formula stays pretty soft, but still harder than right after it's whipped.
Please how can I get some of your ingredients to buy in Ghana for my small skin care business
So sorry, we are only in the US
after you infuse the rose what can you do about the rose i dont want to throw them away.
There are many uses for roses - but you can blend them in a blender and include them in body butters if you don’t want larger pieces ❤️
How long do you whip? My batch is still loose after 30 mins of whipping
When you say loose - what do you mean exactly? You can cool before whipping to stiffen it up a bit if it's more liquid-y!
Hi is the kokum butter supposed to smell like chocolate or not it’s unrefined but I’m not sure y after I still put fragrance it smells like the butter still
Hi! Cocoa butter smells like chocolate, not kokum.
@@BetterSheaButter sorry I meant cocoa but do the butters all have to be unrefined I think I got the cocoa butter pure not unrefined so maybe that’s the problem
@@Victoriavalenciaa unrefined (what we have) smells strongly of chocolate - refined butters lose some of their beneficial properties in the refining process so we prefer unrefined
@@Victoriavalenciaa feel free to email ashley@bettersheabutter.com for further help! :)
@@BetterSheaButter thank you I will do !
Can I use argan oil instead of almond oil?
Yes ma'am!
Where can I purchase these products please?
bettersheabutter.com
Why Rose petals?
Meant arrowroot.
What about rose clay?
And a preservative?
We don’t use any preservatives 💕 I haven’t worked with rose clay before, but it sounds like something that would harden the recipe
