I've noticed that when I whip my body butters for longer at a lower speed they don't go grainy. So, slow and steady wins the race I guess? I'm so corny. LOL
You are doing the right thing. Shea butter woman producer told me it is the way to go.
Thank you so much Marie, for sharing your knowledge and being such a wonderful teacher. Love and gratitude to you sweet lady. 💕🙏🏻🌿🌎💕
Thank you so much for this video. I've had body butters go grainy a lot. It is definitely a trial and error thing. Thanks for all the great tips.
I don’t have my own tips but I did want to say that I tried the trace method you mentioned here and in other videos when I made your Eucalyptus & Mint Foot Butter and it is just so luxurious and smooth as silk!!! Once I get up the courage to make other butters, I will try it every time :)
Thank you for sharing all this information for free 🙏🏾💕💕💕
Hello Marie. My first attempt on producing butter was your ´´ whipped lavender butter¨.It came out just great !!! After pouring it into pots I realized there was hard white butter at the
bottom of my mixing jug. Your video is excellent !! Thanks soooo much for sharing
I absolutely love your videos and website. They are very informative and helpful yet don't make a newbie feel incompetent. Thank you so much for your share of knowledge.
❤️ Thank you so much for your kind words, Amy! I'm thrilled that you are enjoying learning and making with me 😄
This is just perfect. The last batches I made was grainy. Sand like texture. Thank you for this Marie.
You're so welcome! I hope you can save 'em :)
Always helpful, professional, educational, inspirational. Thank you so much for all your hard work, generously sharing your exceptional expertise and wisdom. Appreciate all you do very much. Mucho Gracias
Thank you so much! ❤️
THANK YOU for this!!! Now I feel better about making my holiday lip balm for friends!! I tested it on my own butter mix and it finally worked!!! ❤️
Love the your explanation of fats and processes like trace in terms your audience can understand with your bubbly personality. Demonstrating how to fix this problem with samples and visuals of the real thing is very helpful. Thank you.
I'm so glad you found it helpful! :)
My goshhh i needed this video ! Thanks Marie : D
Also had to point out that your hair looks so magnificent !!

Great Video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Geat info! I agree, quality, clean bees wax is an excellent stabilizer!
Just now prepared a shea butter soy wax lip balm. The texture is good so far . Gotta see the texture after few days . My butter which was fine a few days back has started melting now !!
Thanks!
Hi Marie, thankyou for the wonderful video ,can you guide how can we fix graininess of whipped body butters
Thanks for the tips! I have some tattoo butter that is (you said it!) a mix of mango and shea butter with some other stuff. My first tub of it was beautiful. It was smooth and creamy, even though it did go totally liquid after being in the car heat during the summer. I didn't do anything special to cool it, it just solidified smooth. Second two tubs arrived grainy and nasty. They look just like your forced grainy batch. It melts when rubbed in and seems to be okay, but it's just not a nice skin feel.
You really explain all the things that worry us, thank you so much, I would love to see you working with cupuacu butter, which is amazing for the skin but is quiet inestable, ❤️❤️💥💥 greetings from Bolivia
Made my 1st base make up. Ekkksss I was so pleased
Congrats!
Lot more to it than I figured. Thx!
Yes! I thought this would be a quick video but once I had it all scripted out... nope 🙈
@@HumblebeeAndMe had a batch of cbd cream go grainy on me, think it was from the clay mix going in the blender at higher temp than it should have. The formula also came out greasy possibly from using a different coconut butter. Fixed it with a double boiler remelt then whipped/mixed it all while in an ice water bath and got it to where i wanted it. I brought the greasy feel down by adding some shea and mango butter at the same time and its good to go. Thanks for all the info!
Wow that was great info. Can you plz take a video on how to avoid frothy cream / lotion. Thank you ❤️
I'll keep it in mind-thanks for the suggestion!
I love your channel so simple to follow but packed with good information. I had a question, I'm about to embark on my first whipped shea butter. I want to use your 4 ingredient recipe. I want to use both Shea butter and Mango butter but the mango butter I ordered online is grainy. Should I melt it first on its own then add it to the Shea butter after both have melted or can I just measure them out and melt them both together. How do you deal with grainy mango butter before you have already started the heating phase?
Awesome video thx!
Glad you liked it!
How to make body shop lip balm
Thankful for these tips. I purchased a 1 kg of Sweet Almond butter and it was grainy/sandy (purchased it at clearance price but wasn't informed it was like this was told it was on clearance because of overstock of the product)
@ChristinaEdwards I've never worked with that butter but you can melt a small amount like a teaspoon size. Try to stir it & see the texture as it cools. It may just be how the company processed it or the different temperatures it went through during shipment. Don't give up on it.
Thank you for vídeo is very excellent... congratulationts 💖🙏
Thank you! 😃
@@HumblebeeAndMe whit the greatest of tastes...God bless You 🙏
ThanQ ❤
I am going to buy your book through Amazon.
Thank you so much! ❤️
My recipe did not solidify at all, so I added stearic acid. Cooled it and whipped it light & creamy. It turned a bit sandy. It was for me so I will use it. So back to the drawing board.
I bought an 8 oz tub of refined shea butter from Sulu that I really liked. It was smooth and easy to appy at room temperature. I then bought a 3 lb tub from Sulu but it was gritty. So I used your directions to heat and cool it. The grittiness was gone, but now the butter is much harder and I have to scratch the surface to get "shavings" that I can apply. And it now seems much greasier than the orgiginal product or the grainy product before remelting. What caused these changes in its qualities?
Thanks,
Doug
Oh yeah Too many times. I’m impatient. Actually I bought a body butter recently from lush that had grains in it. The limited edition Lime body butter. I’m not sure if it’s by accident or design. I didn’t read anything about lumps on their website.
So if I wanted to add cbd to my pre-made whipped body butter just light re melt the body butter and add oil??
So helpful, thank you. My body butter seem to look and feel like a mouse/ yougart consistency/ texture. Do you think that's alright bubbles when I'm mixing the whipped butters? ❤
If you like the texture then it's ok!
I have this happen with my hydrating balm. It's high in beeswax, but also contains soft butters. It didn't go grainy right away. It took weeks, but now it's like sand. Will try to bring to trace and see how it goes. Thx
Me too my balms go grainy after a while
me tooo ....I asked ever where but no one new
@@sylviayakubu6575 I did some research and found that it was because of the high percentage of butters that I used. They reccomend that you keep butters under 10% in balms. My balm had about 40% butters. So I reformulated and reduced the amount of butters and increased my oils and now it doesnt go grainy.
You are a 💎 gem this coco butter has been the worse! Lol
I'm so glad you found this helpful! ❤️
How would the cooling process work for extremely large batches of emulsified body butter? There is not enough space in the fridge or freezer for the tub we make Body butter in.
Thanks for your excellent work.
Are there any specific butters that go grainy in the base combination?
(I hear your advice on soft butters - which ones in particular?)
All of them, I'm afraid. Any butter-even brittle ones-can go soft in the right (or wrong) formulation + circumstances.
@@HumblebeeAndMe much appreciated. I'd love to contact you about a tattoo butter we have developed and our experience in eradicating graininess! Though it does have an aqueous component, seems the same ideas and rules apply.
Regards from the UK.
I know this is an old post but I tried to make a body balm with and without butters. Without butters, my balms are grainy from the beeswax. I'm assuming temperature has something to do with it but any way to do this so they're silky without little chunks? ❤
can adding a mica make body butter grainy? Thanks!
hello, thank you so much for the video ,I also take courses at Formula Botanica, i'm always struggeling with my balms and body butters even after doing this trick ( stiring to the trace) any advice please !!
I have found that placing mine in the freezer opposed to the fridge has helped. Like flash cooling ;)
Can I re melt my body butter and re whip it?
@humblebee & me How about shock cooling a wax-butter product. would this help prevent grainyness because off the saturated and unsaturated ingredients have less time to search for their friends in de endproduct?
It can work! The only way to know for sure is to try it and test it over time :)
I used shea and cocoa butter, beeswax w/vit e oil and a little coconut oil. At first it was perfect. So moisturizing, blissfully smooth but almost 2 weeks later it turned a little grainy. Uuuggg. It is winter here so not to hot but after pouring I did not refrigerate either, I just let it cool naturally. I wonder if I refridgerste after if it will make a difference? So disappointed. But now it's in the tubes. It's about a 12 tube recipe but I am not sure if can get it back out and try to reheat or if can get a trace and still get it poured in time. So upsetting. I was going to give for Christmas gifts but that's tomorrow so that's out. Even after all the you tube videos, I watched not once did anyone mention the possibility of graininess happening. I am on such a tight budget so I am just wanting to save what I created.
:( as cannot rebuy tubes etc. I am not comfortable giving out grainy lip balm. 12 tubes to much fif me to use Any ideas on best way to approach this anyone? Things can use around the house? Has anyone had this problem and able to correct?
did you manage to fix it?
Mine keeps seperating. Or becoming like paste as it set up
So for a pour butter, stearic acid AND Beeswax need to be added in order for it to be a bit heat proof?
No; that's like saying cookies need brown sugar and honey in order to be sweet. It's definitely possible to use both, but you do not need to :) It depends on the formulation and what you're trying to achieve.
Hi Marie , hope you are doing well. Please share your fitness secret would love to know. ❤
I would love to have "Modern Cosmetics" is just sooo expensive 😔
Is this something that can happen in an emulsified cream?
In theory, I suppose, but I've never encountered it. The blending while cooling required for emulsions + the dilution with water and the emulsion will all help prevent graininess.
Please do you have to check ph if it’s emulsified body butter?
It's a good idea, and a must if you've included pH sensitive ingredients. This is true for all hydrous products :)
@@HumblebeeAndMe thank you.
I feel like shea butter doesn't need to be melted that it can be added after you melted all the other stuff
It depends on the formulation, but yes, that is definitely an option! A partial cold-process, if you will :)
❤
Hello dear..canvu pls share niacinamide serum and salicylic acid serum formula plsss..
I'll keep it in mind-thanks for the suggestion!
@@HumblebeeAndMe thank you so much for your reply ❤...love from India🤗
I just shared a salicylic acid formula-check it out! ❤️
Is ucuba butter good for lotion or body butter.
???
Yup!
My tinted lip balms are going grainy after a few days but my clear lip balms are fine, what is it that I’m doing wrong?🤔
I'm afraid I have no idea with so little information.
@@HumblebeeAndMe i use the microwave technique for heating and refrigerator for cooling. I also use red iron oxide as pigment sometimes.
How do I fix a body butter that contains a lot of arrowroot powder? There is a feeling as if it has sandy texture😢
I'm afraid that's probably a chuck-it-out situation; you're not going to be able to remove the powder or mask it.
Make sure the powder is equally micronised to the smallest amount
@@ClubNoisebandany recommendations
Why you are so cute?? 🤧❤️❤️❤️
HELP, why does my calendula chapsticks feel grainy & yet the exact same batch going into pots is perfect 🤦♀️ plz help, Jody
I'd guess it's to do with how they are cooling; tubes will cool at a different speed than pots. I'd experiment with putting the tubs in the fridge or freezer to cool and see if either of those approaches solves it :)
hello, is there anyway to private message you? I have a few questions, many thanks
