To those of you who have made unnecessary and mean spirited comments .. WHY? If you don't like what you see and hear why not change the channel and do your homework. Many of the criticisms I have read here reveal a lack of information. Those of us who regularly watch Kim's videos love her chit chat and wouldn't want her to change. She is giving and kind. This is only directed to those who have made the very rude and unkind comments. There is way too much of that in this world today and not enough people like Kim..
I think she is a very nice and warm lady its soo nice that she is trying to help people. Having said that, if someone wants to share their thoughts to correct something that they believe she did incorrectly then that's called advise, not bullying. However a person should most certainly have the best manners doing so (advising). ♡♡♡
Yes, she is encouraging and likes to show and help pple, why down someone who is on here to show you and teach you how to grow, be uplifted and talk up to pple, get people's vibes up not pull them down...The way I see it if your not here to learn and don't like it then don't bother making a comment at all, I know i've learned so much in the past few weeks that I've been able to watch and I'm grateful for people out here trying to teach people how to make their own products to save them from chemicals that cause cancer and death, so she also looks at it to save your skin literally....
Can't stand mean people or bullies....if you don't want to put your butters/oils in the microwave, then don't!! She is sharing her recipe and her time to help you. You might want to be grateful that there are people like Kim in the world. Thanks Kim for all your videos and your sweet spirit. You rock!

I live in Washington DC, new to making soap. I have made my own body butters for 4-5 years now. I enjoy watching all of your videos from soap cooking to the body butters. Thanks for sharing your wedding video with us also and I adore your accent you remind me of my mom be blessed
I came here to see a recipe for whipped Shea butter and Ieave going "Wow. That is really cool." Really cool to see the process of producing, packaging and labeling.
This was my goal and is my goal with teaching so many people how to make soap...to help them make money in difficult times! What a wonderful example of a self-starter you are! Way to go Kim!

I don't know if your company is still around as this is 2019, but I wanted you to know that I loved the entire video. Your description and directions were clear and easy to follow. You answered a wonderful question I had about a preservative. In the comment section, I saw where someone must have posted a negative comment. Please ignore it. Your information was thorough and full of quality and I applaud you. Your video will be saved so that I may use it as if you are the professor looking over my shoulder to guide me. I loved all of the info on how to keep everything sanitized. As much as I love Pinterest, you gave essential details about sanitation that I had not seen in other little short descriptions, Prayerfully, you are still around as I look forward to sharing my outcomes with you. I don't know that I could ever get to a place of selling but I'm looking forward to making and giving them as gifts. Also, I loved that you shared the company where you got your products, be it a company or Wal-mart. Take care and I hope to communicate again.
Yup we are still standing so far lol now I have a store. Cornerstone Market in my home town. Still sell my creams. Thank you for taking the time to write such a awesome comment. Big hug. See www.kimberlymcnutt.com and www.soapykisses com
I've been viewing videos for two weeks now on different shea butter recipes. Yours was by far the most detailed and clear. I like the way you stress how important sanitizing your utensils are. I also appreciate the care that you put into preparing everything. I will be giving this a try to see how I make out. Thank you so much.
Thank You sooooooo much for your videos. They were very transparent and informative. I am aspiring to start a company myself. You somehow relieved me of some fears of rejection. This is something that I really want to do. I was diagnosed with MS 13 years ago and it seemed as if all of my hopes and dreams had died, but they are now resurrecting along with my faith. All things are possible to them that can believe. I can't run just yet, but I can definitely believe I can. (:)! Thank you again.
This was SOOOO helpful. I started making whipped shea butter as gifts for my clients, family & friends. It was such a hit that once they ran out they wanted more!! So I recently started selling it. But I had no idea how to properly measure/weigh my ingredients. Also I love how you keep track of your recipe verses trying to write everything in a notebook like I have been doing!! Thanks a BILLION!!!
great recipe! I would use the double boiler to heat my oils, but I am loving the way everything is explained and you reinforce keeping everything clean. thank you!
thanks so much! I normally hate "chatty" videos but every thing you talk about is gold advice and insight. I'm waiting for my preservative and ewax to arrive to make my first lot of lotion (not your recipe) but was feeling so stressed about the world of adding preservatives, I did have a look at the soap calc too! but couldnt find a way in my head to have it help me calculate the percentages for preservative as I need 0.05% of my recipe. Anywhoo - thankyou for all of the thorough talking throughout your video!!
Thank you SO MUCH for this recipe! It is one of the most thorough tutorials I have seen on you tube and I love that you include every single step from start to finish- Awesome!
I loved your video and I especially loved you talking all the way through explaining he entire process. I started watching and I couldn't stop. I'm glad you didn't use cocoa butter because I am allergic to cocoa butter. Thank you for posting.
Thank you for mentioning SKS Glass & Bottle. I googled them and they are in my town! What a stroke of good fortune! And...wait for ... it turns out it’s less than 5 minutes, maybe 3, from my house. How cool is that! I’m a beginner and I enjoy your videos immensely and appreciate you taking the time to help a newbie like me!
Have been wanting to make this for ages. Finally, tonight, I made it. Tweaked it a little with fragrance and preservative (i'm in UK so don't have Germaben). I and my family are now in love. My 16yr old put her finger in to get some out and did a double take saying "oooh, its mousse!!!, wow, thats gorgeous", and my hubby thinks its his new favourite lol!! Thank you so much for this video Kim. Please keep it up. Helen xxxx
Thank you for your patience in explained everything very well, I love your videos and would like to say thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience, not everybody do that, you share not just the way of how things are made but as well you share the recipe. Thank you for being so generous.
When my product line become globally distributed, I'll be flying you in for a front row seat for the ribbon cutting. I appreciate you and your channel!!
EssentialSoap , have you considered the double pot or boil method to melt the ingredients? I recently read that placing goods in the microwave kills some of the nutrients in them. Sure, it will make the process longer but with this recipe, I'm sure it's still worth it! Xoxo
I like your videos I have seen allot of them and you are very nice and have a sweet calming voice. I feel I can make these easily. Thanks for the info. Most people are so secret with how they make stuff. AWESOME THANKS
I love watching your videos Kim. Thank you for sharing and teaching us all so much :) I'm going to try this recipe. It looks amazing and looks worth way more than $5.00.... There's some pretty lucky people living near you!
Hola soy de Puerto Rico y me encanto el vídeo estoy aprendiendo a hacer las cremas me encanta todo esto! Thanks for the vídeo its the best one ever see!
I've looked at a LOT of recipes for body butter on the internet. You are the first one I've come across who points out the need for sanitary practices. And I like your style. A great video. ;o)
I made some using this same recipe and started using it within 24 hours. Since there is no Lye in it...and only the butter and oils...was no reason to use right after making it...and it felt wonderful on my skin...
It is a beautiful thing when you can do the things that you love to do and get paid for it,that's when you have truly arrived as a human being in my book...
Lily of the Desert also makes a cosmetic grade aloe vera gelly that I love. I know you wanted to keep the other ingredients down in the aloe vera. If you haven't looked into this yet I think its worth a try as I think it might work for you.
Thank you for all your videos. I’m just starting! I finally found something I love to do! My goal is to sell Soap, Body Butters, I love that you can do so many things! One day I want a shop! Already got the area in mind! Cuter goal! I’m now trying to learn all the legal things you have to do. Maybe you can do a tutorial on it! You make things so easy to understand. TIA!
@@EssentialSoap does that scale not have a rare button? Mine does that way I don't have to turn it off then turn it back on ..just was curious is all! Great video btw
Love pure natural products! That product is animal cruelty free. This is also pure natural products and that built your fairness. By using these natural products make attractive and lovely.
I just love your videos! I ann new to soap making and you explain things so well that I think i could do this! Thank you for the time and effort you put in to this. God Bless!
Hi Kim! Thanks for sharing. I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but if I click on one of your videos, it only shows a bit then goes to another one and another one, etc. I finally got this one to play all the way through, though.
Hi. I'm not sure if you figured out the problem yet, since this was posted 3 weeks ago, but UA-cam added a feature that appears in the top right corner of the screen that has something to do with "Auto Play." Locate that button and turn it off for it to stop skipping to the next video.
Great video. My only concern was placing the fats in the microwave to melt. Considering all the steps you took to prevent contamination and the quality of the items used, a double boiler may be a better option; you can use the same bowl and it would re-sterilize in the boiling water during the process. I do not trust microwaves because they may harm the nutritional properties. Why go through all that work and take a chance? Other than that,,,, great video.
CoreLigaments when I took microbiology I cultured the microwave at the college (which was filthy inside) and the pay phone. The microwave grew nothing to my surprise but the phone grew all kinda of horrible things that aren't even supposed to be able to live on surfaces for very long. I'm assuming the radiation and heat must kill everything or it should of grown tons of stuff. FYI
I made the whipped butter Cream and it melts like butter so it's better to use a sick or cream so it doesn't melt to nothing .so that's why people like the less whipped it's more of a thicker which makes it nicer and last longer🤗
Kim, I love your videos more than most others here. But I can't find a video on how to make soap using aloe vera liquid. How is the aloe used? Is it replacing the water? or is it added after trace? Please make a video for those of us who need this. Thanks much!
Ok thanks. i did enjoy your vid. And on your issue about the whipped butters deflating, They need to be whipped for about 45 mins to an hour or more to stay fluffy
Thank you so much for your advice and NO ! I do not want to cut corners. Just making sure on the preservatives before I purchase the materials needed and what would be best for the body cream. One more question, is that preservative Germaben also used in Body scrubs ?? Thanks a ton !!! XOXO
Kim, you do GREAT videos...this was the first time to make lotions for me!! I thought it turned out like yours, except when I put it on the skin it melts immediately leaving a oily finish...is that what it should do?? Thanks for all your work! Hugs
you have taught me so much. I really do appreciate you and I will go to the site and purchase things to pay you back. I also plan to puchase some of the soaps from you, but enjoy learning how to make them as well. thanks so much.
I really like that you use the scale to be precise. Your great! Also that you share your connections where you get your products I really appreciate it. I have heard that olive oil is not good to heat up because it changes the molecules and it becomes unhealthy for our body. So to use almond oil or ghee and also to use unpasterized honey. I would like to know what you think about it. Thank you
#1. Could you use a stick blender, or a hand blender instead? #2. When you put in the preservative, you said it was .03 oz, and it showed it on the scale, but when the video came back on, the scale measured .08 oz.?? Did you add something else? Also, you should get a scale that has a plug so you don't waste batteries and one that has a zero button, to zero it out. I bought mine on Amazon and I love it. Tossed my battery operated one to the side!! Thanks for being so thorough in your video!
you did an amazing job here! I was really impressed. I am hoping to just make something for my personal use and just finished reading The Idiot's Guide To Lotion Making. It was a little confusing but, your video brought it all together. Thank you so much!!
I love your videos. I've learned a few things from you about essential oils. Keep up the good work. I did order some soap and can't wait until I get them.
Kim, thank you for the video. I have one question: In your video you weigh the preservatives 0.3 but recipe calls for 0.03, tea tree 0.06 and video 0.6...little confusion here for me. Which to use?
Like the video and understand about the body butter melting in the heat. Was at a craft fair and unfortunately didn't realize my body butter was undergoing a transformation in the 90 degree heat. Didn't have double-walled jars and it melted. I worked so hard on a great product. Just wondering though even if I had the double-walled jars what would happen once the customer bought it and then between that time and the time they got home. I wonder if it still would stay intact. I would hate for them to get it home and then find it was watery and not a good consistency. It would make me look bad. Not sure if selling this type of product in the summer is a good idea. Even shipping it is quite a challenge because of the time it would take to get to the destination and the heat of the trucks and such. I love body butters but unless there is some kind of cooling system, I'm afraid this might not be a good selling product in the summer.
At 15.43 what did you add between the preservative and the tea tree oil? The preservative was .3 then before you put in the tea tree oil the scale was at .8. I really enjoy your video's. They are so informative. Janice
I loved your video! Thank you for all the great information.I've been doing so much research it's coming out of my ears and you've just answered all my questions in one video. So excited to give it a go.
Very interesting but how do you know what percentage to put on the label. For example: honey 20%, olive oil 35% etc. how can that be determine? I like the fact that you are very careful with sterilizing. Thank you for all the videos.
I Just did the body butter and it is way more solid than yours was. Can you please recommend what I should do? Should I remelt and or just add some sort of liquid? Thanks
Excellent video & product Fantastic to see a Soap Maker use Unrefined Shea Butter, instead of Refined. As once it has been Refined it is it has Peroxide & all the Eccellent vitamins that are so good for your skin taken out of it,because they also over heat Refined Shea Butter which also takes all the Fantastic benefits for your skin! What a great Product at such a cheap price. If you see white Refined Shea butter you know it has had Peroxide put through to get it white & overheated, which defea
Thank you for posting. This is an informative and illustrative video on making body butter. I can tell you have put some time into the project. I will be making body butter soon, and am researching tools, process, and ingredients now. Recommendation: don't use UA-cam image stabilizer as it makes videos funny looking.
I love your videos. I like the way you take your time to describe the process. I was wondering with this body butter do you have to let it cure like cold process soap or can it be used immediately?
You are brilliant. I wanted to make this recipe for my friends. can I sub the tea tree oil for other essential oils like lavender? I am trying to make this recipe as natural as possible can you omit any of the glycerin or sub a more natural preservatives? Thank you so much for your knowledge!
Your Lesson was so excellent in detail and I am so thankful and very,very grateful your knowledge that you are sharing with the world. Can you please send me the proper spelling of the company you bought your Preservatives from. Thanks in advance and keep up the GREAT WORK :):) Namaste!!!!
Hi Super informative vid. Wondering if I could use Lavender EO instead of Tea Tree...just so not a fan of it's fragrance I know if great stuff but the smell is a turn off. Thanks so much
I watched this video this morning and as usual, it is terrific! I have enjoyed your website and the information you share. Keep posting, Kim! PS - Your body butter looks absolutely wonderful!

Thank you so much for your advice and NO ! I do not want to cut corners. Just making sure on the preservatives before I purchase the materials needed and what would be best for the body cream. One more question, is that preservative Germaben also used in Body scrubs ??
Thanks a ton !!!
XOXO
Thank you for taking the time to make this!
Kim, you do GREAT videos...this was the first time to make lotions for me!! I thought it turned out like yours, except when I put it on the skin it melts immediately leaving a oily finish...is that what it should do?? Thanks for all your work! Hugs
you have taught me so much. I really do appreciate you and I will go to the site and purchase things to pay you back. I also plan to puchase some of the soaps from you, but enjoy learning how to make them as well. thanks so much.
I really like that you use the scale to be precise. Your great! Also that you share your connections where you get your products I really appreciate it. I have heard that olive oil is not good to heat up because it changes the molecules and it becomes unhealthy for our body. So to use almond oil or ghee and also to use unpasterized honey. I would like to know what you think about it. Thank you
Hi Kim, thank you so much for this video and this body butter recipe! I absolutely love this body butter.
this is amazing. i have learned a lot today thks a lot for this video, good job
Thank you so much for going into all of this detail. Very thoughtful and beneficial.
#1. Could you use a stick blender, or a hand blender instead? #2. When you put in the preservative, you said it was .03 oz, and it showed it on the scale, but when the video came back on, the scale measured .08 oz.?? Did you add something else? Also, you should get a scale that has a plug so you don't waste batteries and one that has a zero button, to zero it out. I bought mine on Amazon and I love it. Tossed my battery operated one to the side!! Thanks for being so thorough in your video!
I love the video. I am so ready to get started.... thanks for sharing your talent and skill
you did an amazing job here! I was really impressed. I am hoping to just make something for my personal use and just finished reading The Idiot's Guide To Lotion Making. It was a little confusing but, your video brought it all together. Thank you so much!!
I love your videos. I've learned a few things from you about essential oils. Keep up the good work. I did order some soap and can't wait until I get them.
It is now 2021 and I'm watching your video for the first time. Are you still making soap? I looked at your ETSY store and I didn't see soap.
Very nice! Just a tip, you don't have to turn the scale on and off, just press the tare button and it will zero out for you. :)
Kim, thank you for the video. I have one question: In your video you weigh the preservatives 0.3 but recipe calls for 0.03, tea tree 0.06 and video 0.6...little confusion here for me. Which to use?
She probably added the extra zero on accident. I would just do what she did in the video and put 0.3 and 0.6 oz
Like the video and understand about the body butter melting in the heat. Was at a craft fair and unfortunately didn't realize my body butter was undergoing a transformation in the 90 degree heat. Didn't have double-walled jars and it melted. I worked so hard on a great product. Just wondering though even if I had the double-walled jars what would happen once the customer bought it and then between that time and the time they got home. I wonder if it still would stay intact. I would hate for them to get it home and then find it was watery and not a good consistency. It would make me look bad. Not sure if selling this type of product in the summer is a good idea. Even shipping it is quite a challenge because of the time it would take to get to the destination and the heat of the trucks and such. I love body butters but unless there is some kind of cooling system, I'm afraid this might not be a good selling product in the summer.
I totally followed your link and went on a shopping spree @ Essential depot. ... hope it helps us both !!
Thank you for sharing! I make soy candles, and am looking to expand and learn how to make other things. This looks like it is a lot of fun!
At 15.43 what did you add between the preservative and the tea tree oil? The preservative was .3 then before you put in the tea tree oil the scale was at .8. I really enjoy your video's. They are so informative. Janice
I loved your video! Thank you for all the great information.I've been doing so much research it's coming out of my ears and you've just answered all my questions in one video. So excited to give it a go.
wow very lovely, i like your video. Thanks for sharing
I enjoyed this video, very informative
when i get better soaper, i want to try body butter it looks yummy
Awesome can't wait to make a batch for my entire family. Thank you, for the recipe..
This was an excellent video. I really appreciate U sharing all this info. This has helped me a great deal.
Hi, love all your videos and im going over them again and again.... lol
Why so little Vitamin E ?? Can we use more ??

Love this video. Just wondering, can I use a fragrance oil instead of tea tree oil?
It's really best video , I ever seen,many many thanks
Very interesting but how do you know what percentage to put on the label. For example: honey 20%, olive oil 35% etc. how can that be determine?
I like the fact that you are very careful with sterilizing. Thank you for all the videos.
I Just did the body butter and it is way more solid than yours was. Can you please recommend what I should do? Should I remelt and or just add some sort of liquid?
Thanks
Excellent video & product Fantastic to see a Soap Maker use Unrefined Shea Butter, instead of Refined. As once it has been Refined it is it has Peroxide & all the Eccellent vitamins that are so good for your skin taken out of it,because they also over heat Refined Shea Butter which also takes all the Fantastic benefits for your skin! What a great Product at such a cheap price. If you see white Refined Shea butter you know it has had Peroxide put through to get it white & overheated, which defea
Leonarda absolutely loved this video
Thank you for posting. This is an informative and illustrative video on making body butter. I can tell you have put some time into the project. I will be making body butter soon, and am researching tools, process, and ingredients now. Recommendation: don't use UA-cam image stabilizer as it makes videos funny looking.
I love your videos. I like the way you take your time to describe the process. I was wondering with this body butter do you have to let it cure like cold process soap or can it be used immediately?
God bless your soul!
Good video. Thank-you so much for sharing and teaching.
You are brilliant. I wanted to make this recipe for my friends. can I sub the tea tree oil for other essential oils like lavender? I am trying to make this recipe as natural as possible can you omit any of the glycerin or sub a more natural preservatives? Thank you so much for your knowledge!
Thank you so much for your video. I Love it.
