DIY Body Butter with Coconut Oil

[@triveym1]

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]

Thanks your comment was very helpful. What would you recommend to prevent those things?

[@allieharmon3926]

@@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.

[@unpopularviews3376]

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.

[@priscillanazar1152]

Unpopular Views yea the Shea butter I have is super hard and I need to melt it to use it

[@tiffiebaebee]

priscilla nazar word. she could have whipped that as is...no heat.

[@LK-sy3kl]

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.

[@nadaarien]

Did know Nilotica Shea butter?

[@delilah022809]

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.

[@christycampbell6856]

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.

[@adalizbazan658]

CHRISTY CAMPBELL how is it stored and how long it lasts thank you

[@jimwest143]

Ms.West here)where does she get her essential oil?

[@annettecasals]

Jim West you can get essential oils in Whole Foods

[@annab5961]

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 !

[@tinajohnson9631]

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.

[@queenie_the_virgo]

Tina Johnson olive,avocado,or grapeseed would work

[@christineoneal666]

I use grapeseed oil

[@mp5249]

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.

[@alexisderyiades9863]

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

[@jonathanecheverria1885]

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.

[@amandah2412]

Your voice is so peaceful and lovely to listen too. Great video thank you

[@maranatha9646]

Microwave? No, No!

[@bettyboop2468]

Maranatha great advice. Put your all natural ingredients in a radiation environment...the microwave.

[@aichan95]

@ShizumaDEATH yes that's why it took her a long time to whip it. It should only take 10 minutes.

[@malibudolphin3109]

@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 😰

[@LunaticTheCat]

@ShizumaDEATH You also don't want to put in the microwave because it will break down some of the nutrients.

[@pamelahousel3147]

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.

[@lynndowney4107]

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!!!

[@nainamassey6160]

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

[@ceridwengriffith4344]

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 .

[@papatutti59]

Putting the butter in an reusable pastry bag would be much easier and cleaner to fill those jars.

[@angel_1977]

How do you store it? And what's the shelf life?

[@rachelgarcia91]

shea butter and coconut oil is good 24 months after opening, so should most oils

[@craftychickkyle]

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.

[@abbeyp8834]

Can cocoa be added? I made a recipie and it didnt turn out as thick 😣 and i blended it forever. Does this feel oily?

[@JazzMaineVelandPublicFigure]

If it's not very thick you've used more oil then needed just add in more Shea

[@germain100ful]

The bowl needed to be cooler

[@martineznp]

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!

[@jackiehill4752]

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.

[@noratk]

Jackie Hill hello how long did the whipped state last?

[@aabidahl3312]

You know you can just put it in the fridge instead of the freezer, right? 😂

[@Peoplehatethetruth]

Aabidah L yes but for the sake of the video the freezer is quicker. The fridge would take a long time

[@yassiryassin5337]

Use the freezer the fridge will take a long long time

[@carlechevarria2226]

Great idea using the Vitamin E caps as a preservative. At least it sounds good. I will try it and see.

[@YoutubeInes]

You lose energy when you put a hot thing in the fridge.

[@peppercreations4036]

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 :)

[@karynyates9807]

how much starch? I'm finding mine is too greasy

[@tonytrilex2555]

corn products are terrible for the skin please nothing from corn.

[@elusnuga]

Tony Trilex what can we replace corn starch with?

[@pamelasertich9850]

elus 11 you can use potato starch or the tapioca

[@TreiaSaint]

how about arrowroot powder?

[@kjsoapandcandlecompany3644]

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.

[@karronlaneNOLA]

does this melt during the hot summer?

[@BbyGrlLes]

Mine turned out a lot creamier than yours. Did I whip it too much?

[@UntidyArtist]

+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!

[@MultiWhitney14]

DO NOT microwave and that Shea butter is refined ! The real one is yellow or light yellow

[@pamelasertich9850]

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

[@rajivenkatesan6096]

We can use this for making concealer?? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@joannamail]

Not all of the implements shown at the beginning for what you will need, were actually used. Did I miss something? I watched it a few times and still did not see all the implements being used.

[@carolynlaird4105]

Can you give me a list of your ingredients.

[@pattyhackett1]

Theraputic oils to add in recipe are hemp & argan oils

[@ImJustEBaby]

If we don’t have an electric whisk, can we put it in a blender?

[@alphafish4756]

Use a manual whisk

[@ValerieCamina]

Awesome! I will need to try this. Thanks for sharing.

[@kailjoyce87]

She couldn’t of used a bigger pot 😂

[@bryanroshan7787]

Wont it deflate with time or with changes in temperature? :D

[@aspensplace3293]

What other fragrance oils are soothing for the skin? As a man, I do not really care for the smell of lavender.

[@emmsession8981]

Have you done anything in 4 years? I don't see any recent comments. Hi.

I don't have shea butter😣 can use anything else instead shea butter?

[@fashionablylathered3843]

I love making this stuff. I will never use lotion again and it is my best selling item!

[@carlaweems72]

Just curious - does the finished product STAY IN ITS WHIPPED FORM??? Or will it eventually become "liquidy" again.. thanks in advance.. :-)

[@XxiiCoookiesiix]

What can I substitute the almond oil for... i have family members with allergies

[@jasminaj...]

Castor oil

[@jasminaj...]

You can use Castor Oil.

[@MeadowFonger]

what if you dont have vitiman capsoles

[@InviteTheLightReadings]

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)

[@elyh2159]

Do you have to keep it chilled?

[@karentucker8629]

New subscriber I love this yummy

[@JessicaMary0702]

"lavender essential oil balances the skin" what the hell does that even mean 😂😂😂😂😂 it's just for smell.

[@Alexandra832]

it has a lot of beneficial properties for the skin, it is soothing, antimicrobial and relaxing, its good for acne, eczema, for wrinckles and wounds. check it out :)

[@pamelahousel3147]

Soothes eczema and dry skin Since lavender has antifungal properties and reduces inflammation, it can help keep eczema at bay. Lavender oil can also be used to treat psoriasis. The lavender oil helps cleanse your skin and lessen redness and irritation.

[@sonorasenora5911]

Thanks for video...you know, some of you chicas need lessons on politeness...one CAN share and exchange knowledge and ideas without superior attitudes that scream "dumb ass"...

[@madspiegelman]

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.

Thank you Emilie for this great video. I'm learning so much from you.

How to store this body butte? In refrigerator or outside

[@janedoe805]

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. ♥️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@witchhazel8583]

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

[@royalicing8603]

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.

[@kokilavanipadmanaban9724]

Can i use coco butter instead of shea butter

[@ashulovesmusic]

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

[@glamrouzGlamZ]

Do we add any preservatives? I'm new to this lol or does it not go bad right away

[@elizabethcolleen1012]

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).

[@irene1412]

Can I use food colouring and normal yellow butter for this?!

[@emilymccune6528]

I ordered Shea butter offline and it's very hard. It's not in butter form like yours, more like hard wax. Would the measurements stay the same? Thanks!

[@UntidyArtist]

+Emily McCune Hi! Shea butter comes in a lot of different forms. I have also used shea butter that is in more of a solid form (like hard wax) and it worked out just fine. The measurements will stay the same. Thank you for watching! Happy crafting! xo

[@brookeaustin674]

I made a similar one.. it was really greasy.. I didn't like it.. is this one greasy? if so how can I fix that?

[@peppercreations4036]

+Brooke Austin hi Brooke, you want to add some starch of some sort to it to cut out on the greasiness. you would add about 2 tablespoons per lb of oils/butters. Hope that helps.

[@Nelliescake]

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?

[@jeanettejarvis6016]

how can you keep it wipped mine went flat i live in florida

[@UntidyArtist]

+jeanette jarvis Warm climates tend to make the body butter melt and loose its whipped consistency. You can always scoop it into another container, freeze it for about 20 min, and then whip it again. Hope this helps! :)

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?
