I am so thankful to have seen your video. My hands were damaged by hand santizer. The skin got hard and leathery then blood started to ooze out. I tried everything and it didnt work. Finally i watched your video and made a batch
The shea butter is amazing. A month in using it my hand has completely healed. I did exfoliate some of dead cells on my hands after it healed to aid in the process. I am just so thankful to have my hands back to normal and it is now so smooth.
Thank you so much for making homemade products that doesn’t take so many products. Making it simple!
Love love LOVE your videos! You’re so straight, clear and thorough with the videos. So happy I came across you. Can’t wait to makes this cream. Love that I’m just learning about essential oils!
Thank you so much 😊
Add Roman Chamomile as well as lavender, smell is amazing.
thank you so much!!! I am going to make this tomorrow
Can't wait to try this! Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Love this video the most. Makes the best moisturizer EVER!
Yay I am so glad!
This looks totally luxurious and I can't wait to make this for my daughter and myself. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe.
You are so welcome!
@@ouroilyhouse even though it doesn't have water incorporated it's better to be safe then sorry and go ahead and add a preservatives in the event that moisture does accrue.....there are natural preservatives such as Optiphen,GeoGuard few others can't think of all of them at the moment..honey is also a preservative..course as always I recommend people do their own research....looks like a awesome body butter! Benzoin is also great for blemishes and rashes,heard hemp oil as well....all a matter of experimenting!
Thank you @@ouroilyhouse
So simple and easy!!! I am gonna try it!!😊
I love this gonna try it
I bought a melting pot that plugs in and am making this lotion right now. I’m so excited to fill personal size small jars for my friends for Christmas! I even fill a larger one for myself to keep by the bed for my feet. Super soft when I wake up! 😊
Made this for first time today. Wonderful!🐾🥰
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great info. I made my first batch, and this lotion is SO much better than commercial products. I have lymphedema in my legs, and my skin is very sensitive and prone to infection. Lots of soaps, creams and Epsom salt give me rashes and makes my skin itch. Someone at my local health food store recommended that I try making my own lotion with shea butter, and this video was the absolute best I found. So often when I try DIY home remedies, they don't work, but these instructions are SPOT ON!
I'm so glad!!!
Been using this for a good 3 months and its really good and not oily maybe bc i put more tablespoons to my taste which is what I want. I used cornstarch as its locally everywhere. This is a really simple video and as someone who doesnt want to use products with the term “fragrance” which even tho the US regulates there are still chemicals that can affect the body such as becoming infertile, and usually those are banned in other countries. So knowing whats in the things I use is important to me.
So glad you like this!
Hi. Do you use cornstarch in the same way that arrowroot was used in this recipe? I don't have any arrowroot but I do have cornstarch
@@joannedavies9235 yes it can be used the same way
This looks like so much fun to make. I love your diy videos. I like to know what’s in my products
Thanks so much!
I'm so glad you made this! All the other video's I seen used "emulsifying wax", and I really don't want to put anything that is not natural in my lotion. Thanks again! I'll have to check out more of your videos!
Thank you so much!
Would beeswax work?
I am for sure going to try this! I probably have the dryest skin I have ever known! Lotion on store shelves cost more than it can handle!!!
Hope you like it!
I really enjoyed
Will be trying this soon. First time hearing of adding arrowroot powder in. Awesome 👏🏻
It is a game changer!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much. ⚘👏🏽🙏🏽
I love this so much. Currently working on this but I left it in my freezer too long so I’m waiting for it to warm up a little bit. 😅
Brilliant thank you
Can’t wait to make this. Thanks for sharing your recipe!!
My pleasure 😊
Thanks for sharing! I enjoy watching your videos.. I have learned so much from you! 😘..I am new to Essential oils, and I like to get the best use out of my oils being on a Social security budget !!
You are so welcome!
Love your video!
Thank you!!
Thank you ! 😎. God Bless ~
Thank you for the 💡 May I know roughly how long is the shelf life once its done?
I’m excited to make this !
Thank you sharing this video I have had eczema for years and I've been trying to find a cheaper alternative I'm going to try this recipe
How did this work for you?
Loved the video yours is way less confusing compared to other videos lol! Can’t wait to try! Do you have suggestions if you do want to ship but don’t want it to melt?
Thank you! Just make sure it is an airtight container so it won't leak. It will set back up when cooled.
I measure everything by grams or ounces. It's easier for me and I think it's more accurate
I love yr simple videos they are so helpful... I do have a question tho why did my attempt go hard after whipping?
How long you whiped your butter? Ty. You amazing!
I like the oil base that kind stick so will it still have that feel ?if I use arrowroot?thanks
❤ Your video! I’m looking for natural products.
I’m going to make this today I don’t have coconut oil. I will try almond oil.
Almond oil won't work as coconut oil solidifies and almond oil stays liquid.
How about jojoba oil
Can I use sunflower seed oil instead of coconut. Or maybe Olive oil
Thank you for the video, wonderful explanations and recipes. I love all natural products. For the hand cream - Instead of arrowroot powder, can I use cornstarch powder instead ?
Yes!
Can i use oats flour instead of arrow too
Luscious🎉🎉🎉🎉
I knew i didnt have to use beeswax or emulsifying wax, thank you!
You're welcome!
As a soapmaker I have these ingredients so thought I'd have a go at making this lovely looking lotion. Unfortunately it's still very oily despite the arrowroot, and even doubling it didn't noticeably decrease the oily nature of the lotion. I love every other aspect of the lotion however; the simplicity, natural ingredients and options to scent to own preference.
I have the same problem. It is so greasy I can't use it. I have oily skin so it feels awful on me. Which is unfortunate because I got some excellent ingredients I wanted to use in it.
Add more butter and more arrowroot to make it less greasy. Be careful not to put too much arrowroot, it becomes grainy.
I personally omit the coconut oil & it comes out perfectly 🙂
Of course it's extremly greasy: it's made out of all oils. The coconut oil isn't all that great for anything except feet and legs - and never on the face, as it is a good way to get clogged pores and acne of all types. (not on back, shoulders, etc, either, for anyone who has gotten acne in the past).
Hello! How does this hold up in the hotter months?
I have a question, how would you add aloe vera to a lotion, and what aloe would you use?
Love your addition of Arrowroot powder to reduce the greasy feeling. is there a reason why you chose arrowroot rather than tapioca starch or corn starch?
Either of those would work!
@@ouroilyhouse thanks!
Can you use fullers earth?
Question 1: So the purpose of the arrowroot powder is to make it more like a lotion, right??? Because months ago I bought pure shea butter and it never my skin never absorbs it.
Question 2: can I use corn starch instead of arrowroot powder???
When I stick it in freezer, it takes much longer than 20 minutes to get to that texture. Do you use a deep freezer or regular double door fridge/freezer? I would love to see the actual process of sticking into freezer. Love your videos!
I just have a regular freezer with double door fridge/freezer. You can leave it in longer if needed.
Maybe up the cold setting on your fridge/freezer
Question , i have a bottle of lotion that was my moms there isn't very much of it left i can't get it any more , can i mix it with shea butter to make more of it ?
What’s the botanical name for the lavender you used?
I JUST found your channel. This video is so wonderful that I will use your link to purchase ingredients to make this. Also, just subscribed. Thank you!!! ❤️. EDIT: Can you also use this on your lips?
Thank you!! Yes, you could use it on your lips!
@@ouroilyhouse Thank you so much for your reply! Can’t wait to make this!
I see lot people use liquid coconut oil to their and it b very fluffy ..did u say it wudnt work or what was the bad side of it?thanks
Thank you so much for this very easy DIY shea butter lotion. Just a quick question. Can I replaced coconut oil with other oils?
Try Cocoa Butter. You need one that goes from a solid form into a liquid once heated like the coconut oil does.
Can the Shea butter cream melt on hot days if u were to ship it ?
Any ideas, what can I use instead of arrowroot powder? I don’t like it greasy
what can yu use if you are allergic to coconuts. thanks I really appreciate your videos
Hi, is coconut oil the best possible oil you can use in this body butter? Or is there a better more moisturising oil I can use? Thank you in advance ♥️
Shea butter is good!
Any suggestions on how you clean the dishes afterwards from the oils?
Thank you
I use boiling water and a paper towel.
Can you use this on your face? X
How do you keep the shea butter from getting grainy?
Ive been following & making your recipes on your website for a really long time, i cant believe i never knew about your youtube channel!!!! Pleeeeease can you pretty please with a cherry on top - make a video tutorial for the no smudge mascara recipe you have???? Ive attempted ut 3x and i keep having to throw it out because i just dont know what texture/consistency its supposed to look like in the bowl before i put it into the tube, and then i try using it with my brush and its been an epic fail all three times!! Sometimes im a much better learner when its visual, this is definitely one of those times!!!! 😭😭
This may be a silly question but is arrowroot powder , cornstarch?
I love your videos btw - my new favorite channel ❤
Awww thank you!!! It's not the same, but similar.
Hi I really wish you can give the recipes in oz is hard to mesure a cup with solids
Hi,
Thank you for sharing the ingredients. Just wondering will it go off? How many months will it last for? Thank you.
Maybe store the extra in the frig until you're ready to use.♡
What is arrowroot powder for ?
I'm in the philippines so the weather here is hot like 39-42 degree celcius, how can I not make it easily melt if my courier will ship it within 2-5 days? Im planning to start a business using this recipe thanks a lot
Hi nice video. What would be a good substitute to replace coconut oil in my DIY lotion? It is a little itchy on my skin when I use coconut oil. Do you have any suggestions I can try out? Thanks
Jojoba/Argan
You can use cornstarch instead of arrowroot powder.
Can you use aloe in the recipe
Your sister is also a UA-camr right? You both look so much alike ❤
Can I use this after exfoliating my body?
At times, I am sensitive to essential oils, but when I do use them in soaps, it’s good for me.. can I use a lesser amount in my lotion ? I am allergic to too much of fragrance but at the same time, want my lotion to smell pleasant:).
Yes you can use less or take them out all together.
Good evening I’m sorry for commenting so late. Is it ok to use an aluminum bowl?
I used 3tbs of arrowroot powder and it was still very greasy. I did realize after i did it that the powder was expired i didn't think arrowroot powder could go bad but could the possibly be why so greasy?
Will this help with KP? Looking for non greasy. Also can beeswax be added or is it even needed. Thx
Hi is the shea butter you use unrefined and is the coconut oil unrefined with the natural smell or are you using all refined/deoderised products? I'm planning to make some for a friend but not sure how it will smell at the end in combination with the lavender
Essential oils really work to clean that smell.
Nice video. Please whats that powder you added? What other powder can be used?
She added arrow root powder but you can use corn starch
Question - do you use separate bowls and mixers than you use for cooking food? Is shea butter easy to clean off of the tools?
Can I use white kaolin clay in place of arrowroot powder? Or french green clay? Don't they both have good skin properties?
I have not tried that in the lotion. However,I have two clay mask recipes using those on the youtube channel.
so what it approx final amount- 16 oz?
Anyone know What can I used instead of Arrowroot?
Coconut oil has one of the highest comedogenic ratings, which means it is not easily absorbed by the skin. Best to use an oil like grape seed, olive, jojoba, or sweet almond.
Without coconut oil it will be too runny. Coconut oil helps it to solidify.
Using some cocoa butter or mango butter will make the product solidify.
@@youneverseeanoldmaneatinga7416 It going to solidify regarless but it will take more time.
Hi am looking for face cream I have lupus and it very dry and brown patches and I like to use natural products🙏💐🇿🇦
Can I use immersion blender for whipping the cream?
Yes you can!
could i replace the air root powder for just normal flower?
You can replace with cornstarch.
Can I substitute arrow root powder with corn starch?
Yes!
I cross stitch would this lotion recipe stain my cloth while stitching?
Is there any substitute for arrowroot powder? Can tapioca powder be used instead?
Or cornstarch
Love it. Where can i buy those wooden spoon?
I got them at world market.
Can I use a stainless steel bowl over the boiling water pot or does it have to be glass to prevent burning?
Stainless steal works too!
Hello! Can you suggest a substitute for arrowroot powder?
Cornstarch
I was doing my own body butters but worried about the hygiene of shea butter and that it’s hand crafted. I am okay with the smell but sometimes I do get some weird bad smell. Any advise ?
Hi love your recipe but I wanted to know do I really need to heat the oils ? I usually blend them
I have always done it this way to get them mixed together.
Can you add mica or pigments for different colors
Yes
Hey i notice after w while my lotion deflate (went from white and airy to a thickened and yellow paste again), how can i prevent this and keep the air in it? Thank you!
Would an aluminum bowl work instead of a glass bowl? Thanks for the video!!! ❤️
Yes
Does vitamin E oil you use have a scent? I don’t want to put lavender oil when I try it.
No it does not have a scent.
Hi Laura - is it ok to add in magnesium oil? If so, how much? Thank you!!
Yes! I have a magnesium lotion recipe on the blog!
@@ouroilyhouse thank you! I made that one and it came out more of a solid consistency vs whipped. Ha. Maybe too much beeswax?
Hi if I were to make this as a present for family, how do I know when does it expired?
Recipe makes how much? Jar size?
Do you store your arrow root power in refrigerator?
I keep mine in the pantry.
