Something to note for future reference: Vitamin Oil is not a preservative. It will not prevent mold, yeast and other bacteria. It is an antioxidant, which means it will prevent the oils for going rancid and it is added after whipping (cool down phase) along with the essential oils because they are heat sensitive.
@@gamegang6275 u only need to worry about mold, yeast and what not if u use water in your solution (but if u do look up natural preservatives, i use germall plus). If ur body butter is completely oils then all u need is Vitamin E.
Shea butter isn't a little bit thicker than coconut oil, it's A LOT thicker. The reason yours is so soft, and white is because it is refined. Unrefined Shea butter (usually ivory or yellow in color) is very hard and usually needs to melted over a double boiler then refrigerated before it can be whipped up.
I found some 100% pure unrefined shea butter at tj max and it is in fact yellow in color. I'm melting the shea butter with a double boiler method right now. Im putting into a Mason jar (disinfected) since the plastic tub they came in would warm with the heat.
Just made this with my granddaughter. We double the batch so she could take some home. It turned out great so we are making one more batch. The fist batch we scented with Rose Oil. The second I’m doubling as well then dividing and doing half with lavender and the other half with the Panaway essential oil from Young Living that I use for pain in my legs. It can be my carrier oil and give me all the benefit of the moisturizers. Love it.
After trying the melt and freezer method a few annoying times , I found out that you don’t have to do that ! You just add your oils and beat and blend ! No more arduous time consuming steps and it turns out just fine !
I just have to say that I ABSOLUTELY love your body butter tutorial! I truly appreciate how you cut to the chase and went straight to demonstrating the process without all the blah-blah-blah (sooo annoying!). I am using your video as my guidance for making a variety of body butters and will be giving the most awesome gifts to my beloved family & friends. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I made some for my expecting sister and a girlfriend. Their bellies looked great during their pregnancies and after. They want me to make more and so do their Moms :-) Everyone in my family with dry skin and eczema are excited to use this. I am now looking for a version with out nut oils since my new born niece who has eczema and is allergic to all nuts. The version I make for her will be truly special.
I would never use essential oils for a baby with eczema. Unlike what she said in the video, essential oils are not calming for the skin, essential oils of any kind can be highly allergenic. Ask any dermatologist, they are the most common cause of new allergies. No dyes, inks, perfumes or such.
Great Video clip! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you heard about - Parlandealey Slim Figure Process (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a good exclusive guide for learning how to improve your body with a customized keto plan minus the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my m8 at last got cool results with it.
Vitamin E is a thick and viscous oil that is super easy to mix into lotions, liquid oils, and even bath bombs for its skin-loving properties. It is a wonderful anti-oxidant, but it isn’t considered a preservative because it has noantimicrobial properties to it. Many home crafters use it thinking it will preserve their products, but all it can do is extend the life of the oils in your product (similarly to ROE and GSE).
Just FYI... I make my own body butter ALWAYS. I do not let it get as firm as you do. I set it in the refrigerator JUST UNTIL it gets a nice ring around the outside and the inaide is cool, but not hard. I use my Kitchen Aide to whip it! It is the most velvety, fluffy butter ever! I put it in small Kerr jars and place all but one in the refrigerator. I keep one in my bathroom and I've never had a problem with it melting, even with hot showering. Just be sure to NEVER get water in it. When my jar is empty, I take out another one from the fridge.
It is a lovely DIY. I'l make it for my mums birthday. Thanks for your videos...You are amazing! ( sorry for my writing english, I'm from Czeh Republic)
I have NEVER whipped something so long in my life and it's not close to whipped..I put it back in the freezer a couple of times because it was getting hot from all the whipping. I could have made 4 DIY baby blankets in this time. I followed the recipe to a tee! I will try another recipe.
hi Emilie, I just found your channel : ) You want to add in a bit of tapioca powder/starch or corn starch, something to soak up some of the greasiness. It cuts it down while still allowing it to soak in to the skin :) Nice video's, thanks for making it :)
Oh my goodness is there anything you can’t make? I watched all of your Fairy videos and now I’m going to start watching the rest of them. I’m definitely going to make this Body Butter, I’m going to triple the recipe and use my KitchenAid stand mixer. I know several people who would definitely benefit from it. My Son also has Eczema he’s has something to do with his RA. (rheumatoid arthritis) He’ll have to apply it himself, being that he is 32 years old. 😂🤣😂 Seriously, l’ve literally spent hundreds of dollars buying him every single moisturizer on the market. But, l’ve never tried making my own. Thank you so very much. ♥️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks for sharing. I was looking for a recipe to use in my Viramix. That would liquify and whip as well. You would have to liquify it first and make sure it is almost frozen because the Vitamix could cook it on it’s own
Hi Emilie, great video, you body butter loos incredibly luscious and I am so excited to make some for myself. I am actually looing for some recipes for these and scrubs to make as DIY Christmas gifts. I am so excited to get started. I was hoping you could tell me if the mason jar you used in this video is the 4 or 8 oz. size. Thanks so much, take care!!!
Thanks for the video. I made sweet orange last year. This year I'm going to make your recipe. It looked beautiful and I am sure it smelled divine. (despite all the peeps fussing about you using the microwave to warm your frozen oils 🙄). Thanks again for this great video.
Vitamin E oil is an antioxidant and WILL help to prolonge the shelf life of oil-based products because of its anti-oxidation properties. However, Vitamin E oil is NOT a preservative, and should never be used solely as a preservative.
I cant wait to make some of this for myself to try. I never had such dry skin as I have now the last few years. It seems to be worse now in the winter, it doesnt help that I live in Minnesota and it gets so cold here.
@ShizumaDEATH no it's the radiation, that alters the cellular structure of the ingredients Pointless to use good ingredients IF your going to destroy them with a poisonous microwave 😰
Start by melting the Shea butter and coconut oil. You can do this in the microwave or over a double boiler on the stove. ... Add your whipped DIY body butter to clean and dried jars.
The butter seems to be really awesome. But needed one clarification, regarding the quantity of almond oil used. As you first showed the measuring cup (red one) which is 1/2 cup and while adding the almond oil you mentioned 2 tsp (you added the quantity twice of the 1/2 cup) So which is to be considered. Please clarify
You failed to mention that the essential oil needs to be skin safe and not just any essential oil that you can find. Most essential oils that you find at the store are not skin safe and are meant for oil diffusers.
It has a lovely texture. How long do this mixture last without going bad? Is it better to keep in the refrigerator? My concern is if I decide to sell some, won't there be any problem?
I love this one. I made it twice already but I also add pure cocoa butter (hard texture melted with the shea butter and coconut oil) and it smells delicious! I am confused a bit by this recipe because there was mentioning measurement cup of 1/2 cup but I didn't see it used for anything. Am I missing something? What was the 1/2 cup for? It was 1/4 coconut oil and 1/4 shea butter so what's the half cup for? Anyone?
Looks very nice!! Is it ok to put in the microwave?? I was taught that THE molecules changes when you heat the oils from the inside, and that that might ruin the nurishing in the oils? Just curious 🤗 🧙herbal educator
Thanks Emilie. I love your videos. I love the smell of lavender and was putting it in all my homemade creams until I saw on another youtube video that it makes your skin more sensitive to sun exposure. ie. it'll make my skin more prone to damage from sun exposure. Have you ever heard of this?
+Leslie Weir Hi! I am guessing it turned out creamier from whipping it a lot, or it could be that the oils warmed up too much and started to melt a bit, giving you a creamy texture. I am sure it will work beautifully! You can always try scooping it out of the container, freezing it for a bit, and then re-whipping it. Let me know how it turns out!
Thx for uploading. Did want to mention however, microwaving may want to be avoided as it kills or could kill all the important living properties within the oils that are beneficial to you. (Same with microwaving your food - you're killing all the enzymes and important stuff)
Love this recipe! Did you know that Isopropyl Myristate removes the heaviness of the butters? I recently started adding it to my recipe, it’s a wonderful ingredient:)
Your vid came up in my list to watch & I'm so glad I did. I get really bad winter dry skin & itch so I'm going to try this. I'm not a fan of lavender, floral scents bother me & cause migraines. What other scents would you recommend that would smell nice with the butters? I am subscribing as well
+Eileen Considine I use the Organic Shea Butter from Now Foods. I purchased it at Whole Foods. Here is a link to where you can purchase it online. Thanks for watching! www.amazon.com/NOW-Foods-Shea-Butter-7-Ounce/dp/B000F4J8VI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449612143&sr=8-1&keywords=now+food+shea+butter
Hello, this body butter recipe is so good and I tried at home. My oils when whipped came a lot more watery than thick. How can I make it creamier? And I followed the instructions as you said for the making.

Unpopular Views yea the Shea butter I have is super hard and I need to melt it to use it
priscilla nazar word. she could have whipped that as is...no heat.
I use unrefined and just mash it with a fork and add in the other oils before I whip it. It still gets fluffy just takes longer.
Did know Nilotica Shea butter?
I found some 100% pure unrefined shea butter at tj max and it is in fact yellow in color. I'm melting the shea butter with a double boiler method right now. Im putting into a Mason jar (disinfected) since the plastic tub they came in would warm with the heat.

CHRISTY CAMPBELL how is it stored and how long it lasts thank you
Ms.West here)where does she get her essential oil?
Jim West you can get essential oils in Whole Foods
After trying the melt and freezer method a few annoying times , I found out that you don’t have to do that ! You just add your oils and beat and blend ! No more arduous time consuming steps and it turns out just fine !
I made this about a year ago , for my grand daughter and her mom wanted more! So I’m using this recipe again. I like it a lot .

Tina Johnson olive,avocado,or grapeseed would work
I use grapeseed oil

If you don't mind me asking how did this body butter help the pregnant women?

Your voice is so peaceful and lovely to listen too. Great video thank you
I love this mixture, I have made twice. But, I didn't melt it down and it turned out the same. Very
smooth and creamy.

Great idea using the Vitamin E caps as a preservative. At least it sounds good. I will try it and see.
I made this and added a liquid illuminator☺
Gold Chyna what were the results?
courud7346 she looked like a brand new bottle of holo
Gold Chyna Hi 😊 Can you please say how long this lasts for?
Gloria Robbins probably 6 months to 2 years
Karen Pinckney holoooooo!!!!
Theraputic oils to add in recipe are hemp & argan oils
I have NEVER whipped something so long in my life and it's not close to whipped..I put it back in the freezer a couple of times because it was getting hot from all the whipping. I could have made 4 DIY baby blankets in this time. I followed the recipe to a tee!
I will try another recipe.
That texture is soooooo satisfying I cant wait till my butters come to make mine!!!
I love your very well documented tutorials from body butter to satin roses. Thank you.
hi Emilie, I just found your channel : ) You want to add in a bit of tapioca powder/starch or corn starch, something to soak up some of the greasiness. It cuts it down while still allowing it to soak in to the skin :) Nice video's, thanks for making it :)
how much starch? I'm finding mine is too greasy
corn products are terrible for the skin please nothing from corn.
Tony Trilex what can we replace corn starch with?
elus 11 you can use potato starch or the tapioca
how about arrowroot powder?
I love making this stuff. I will never use lotion again and it is my best selling item!

I came across your channel today I love your videos
I can't wait to make this :) thanks

Your video was the best one i ever seen. You explain what i needed to know for long. Great job. Thanks for this video
Thank you! Happy to hear this tutorial was helpful. xo
Putting the butter in an reusable pastry bag would be much easier and cleaner to fill those jars.
I LOVE this!! I can't wait to try it!!! Thanks so much for the great tutorial and recipe!!
GREAT VIDEO!!!! Love the SIMPLE steps to make the Cream, Thank You!!!
I made mine today and it didn't come out like whip cream but it was okay. Thanks for the video.

This looks awesome can’t wait to give it a try with maybe some clary sage and red clover. Mum is struggling with menopause symptoms and dry skin.
Can't wait to try this. Thanks for sharing😊!
Thank you ...been looking for a lotion or body butter recipe...I love lavender too. I use it in my laundry soap also
Awesome! I will need to try this. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Emilie for this great video. I'm learning so much from you.
I cant wait to make some of this for myself to try. I never had such dry skin as I have now the last few years. It seems to be worse now in the winter, it doesnt help that I live in Minnesota and it gets so cold here.
whip, whip, whip, (nae nae)
Kylie F ayeeeeeee😂😂
Army Where you attt?!?! 🤣🤣🤣
@Black Oceans lol
@Black Oceans KXHXCJFH
super simple wow !!! thanks I can't wait
thank you I made this and it is great thank you. I used a scent for stress relief that I made with only true essential oils this cream is lovely
+Enchanted Studio's Sounds lovely! Thank you for watching! :)
Microwave? No, No!
Maranatha great advice. Put your all natural ingredients in a radiation environment...the microwave.
@ShizumaDEATH yes that's why it took her a long time to whip it. It should only take 10 minutes.
@ShizumaDEATH no it's the radiation, that alters the cellular structure of the ingredients
Pointless to use good ingredients IF your going to destroy them with a poisonous microwave 😰
@ShizumaDEATH You also don't want to put in the microwave because it will break down some of the nutrients.
Start by melting the Shea butter and coconut oil. You can do this in the microwave or over a double boiler on the stove. ... Add your whipped DIY body butter to clean and dried jars.
I use doTerras EO Lavender, which I find soothing, I would beware of cheap EO.
craftyladydi i
I can't wait to try this!
Great video, awesome work.
Thank you!
This looks really good!
Love that I will try that as long I have the ingredients
busting my kindneys at "this LITTLE knife"... LOLOLOL!!!!

Skipper the boiling and preserve the raw oil and just wip! I you heat it.. Do it much more gently, the oil should not turn dark
I spend a ton of money for specialty body butters. I'll give this a try. New subie.
Love this!
I'm going to try this one next 😊
You failed to mention that the essential oil needs to be skin safe and not just any essential oil that you can find. Most essential oils that you find at the store are not skin safe and are meant for oil diffusers.
omg u sound like Selena Gomez....kinda....I loved this, it feels awesome!
i love ur diys!!! thank u
Silvana Filippi Thank you so much! I appreciate your support! xo
I can't wait to make this at home!
How do you store it? And what's the shelf life?
shea butter and coconut oil is good 24 months after opening, so should most oils
If you have eczema, definitely skip on any fragrance and essential oils.
I am going to give this a try. Thank you for sharing.
It has a lovely texture. How long do this mixture last without going bad? Is it better to keep in the refrigerator? My concern is if I decide to sell some, won't there be any problem?
I made this it is absolutely beautiful thank you so much
eczema is form wheat/dairy intolerance and also fragrance intolerance
This is a good and easy recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you enjoy
I love this one. I made it twice already but I also add pure cocoa butter (hard texture melted with the shea butter and coconut oil) and it smells delicious! I am confused a bit by this recipe because there was mentioning measurement cup of 1/2 cup but I didn't see it used for anything. Am I missing something? What was the 1/2 cup for? It was 1/4 coconut oil and 1/4 shea butter so what's the half cup for? Anyone?
Thanks for the recipe I'll be definitely be trying this!!✌❤🇺🇸
Looks very nice!!
Is it ok to put in the microwave??

Can cocoa be added? I made a recipie and it didnt turn out as thick 😣 and i blended it forever. Does this feel oily?
If it's not very thick you've used more oil then needed just add in more Shea
The bowl needed to be cooler
I LOVE this recipe
if I made that, I would have eaten half of it!!looks so good to eat
Thank You , Thank You and Thank you!!! I am a fan of natural product...
Mine turned out a lot creamier than yours. Did I whip it too much?

I also do NOT pour "essential oils" to my butter or cremé, since essential oils are damaging to skin!
how long does it last? do you use any preservatives? if you do, which one?

(Same with microwaving your food - you're killing all the enzymes and important stuff)
Omg I will try this I love essential oils 😍😍
What other fragrance oils are soothing for the skin? As a man, I do not really care for the smell of lavender.
I noticed in the video you show a 1/2 cup measure but it was not used, did I miss something? Love the video and the cream!
Love this recipe! Did you know that Isopropyl Myristate removes the heaviness of the butters? I recently started adding it to my recipe, it’s a wonderful ingredient:)
I wonder if using a piping bag with a large tip would make filling the jar easier and cleaner?
Love your body butter so easy to make omg skin so skin
Good stuff. Good info. Also your fingernails are manicured perfectly. Do you do them yourself. If so, any tips ?
Looks awesome! How long does it last?

-this is really nice-
What brand of Shea butter do you use and where do you buy it? Thanks one of the better videos on this!

+Emilie Lefler Thank you so much your videos are great!
Great video! thanks
does this melt during the hot summer?
I am pretty new to this. Please what is the approximate shelf life and what preservatives can be used to extend the shelf life. Thank you
I tried it and it wasn’t as creamy or whippy as yours mine was really oily but I followed all the steps
that was so good I will try it
Hello, this body butter recipe is so good and I tried at home. My oils when whipped came a lot more watery than thick. How can I make it creamier? And I followed the instructions as you said for the making.
I am from India, the climate is not so cold here.
Thank you! Great video. Does the body butter get a bit more firm the next day? I notice mine gets more firm as time passes. Thanks.
Thank you loved it
If I use just coconut oil and no shea butter, does it become the same consistency?
Is it necessary to melt the butter and the coconut mixture? Would have the same effect if I whipped it from solid form?
yes, it doesn't matter
It blends better if you melt them first.
How is this stored? In the fridge?? Or can I leave on my vanity?? If I do, will it melt??? Thanks..
I don't have shea butter😣 can use anything else instead shea butter?
Love the video. Thank u
