DIY: Making Your Body Butter Less Greasy/ Tips & Tricks

[@rebeccamiller3248]

Thank you this was incredibly helpful. Been trying to lower the oil for an elderly friend who needs help with rough skin but does not need so much excess oil. I discovered body butters years ago. Older sister was in biracial marriage. From birth I have suffered from poor circulation and chronic cellulitis infections. While the antibiotics helped with infections my skin became so damaged. I used cocoa butter but it had no effect really. My sisters mother-in-law gave me my first sugar scrub and body butter. Vanilla cinnamon and brown sugar. It smelled heavenly for that alone I would use it. What made it better my skin started looking like human skin and not pinkish grey tan elephant hide. I never looked back. You could not buy this stuff then. But what I wanted was hard to find that wasn't like the stuff originally. My sisters MIL passed. Sweetly she made me a copy of her recipes even added notes for changing cosmetic colors for my brighter than a day in the snow white dry as ash skin. Before anyone gets offended. I use these recipes to help all. I don't sell any cosmetic products I make from these recipes. And when I die this recipe book goes back to my nieces and nephews. She never told me I couldn't sell stuff. But she never did so anyone's going to do it then it will be her blood kin. They know I have a copy and I make everything they ask for. But this is an art form creating these homemade butters and creams and cosmetics. Many in society don't understand. These things are not just superficial coverups. In mine and many others it's healing and health to us. So I respect it and where it came from.

Could use use measurements instead of percents?

I loved your video! From your soothing voice, the information, and especially the pace, everything made me feel so comfortable and I can rely on your knowledge. Thanks!❤

[@byrself3005]

Thank you for the tips! Can you make a video showing how you clean your tools after making your body butters? Like your mixing bowls, spatulas, spoons, etc.

[@ashagreaves106]

Might I suggest soaking everything in hot water. It generally works well for me

[@hostiles1]

disinfect using isopropyl alcohol --> spray the tools & then, use tissue to clean it

[@zanb8830]

All hero's don't wear capes, you prove that! You just saved me!!! I've been so mad and boggling my mind of wny my skin is so good from making my own body butter but I'm still getting white/black heads ugh. I been using wheat germ oil for my face and a body butter to moisturize smh! Thank you, not one video, article or peer reviewed study said anything about the Comedogenic Scale!!!! Also, why don't you use xanthan gum instead of arrow root?

[@More_gud]

xantham gum is a thickener and works best in lotions when you want to use less of an emulsifier.

[@memishere]

Did you melt down your butter first? It looks as though you started with just blending your butter first, then added the arrowroot. Is that correct?

[@shadevrutaal]

Can you use it in the hair if adding arrowroot, cornstarch or tapioca?

[@dianalepan702]

Will the body butter harden or will it stay soft

[@ahagood96]

I really like your formulas! You have various recipes that are good for every part of your body and it's amazing.could you also a hair milk/ lightweight moisturizer?

[@emilyegerue73]

Nice video. When is the next online training?

[@osamedennadi6309]

Thanks for the video. Is it tapioca flour or tapioca starch? They are different.

[@onyinye3851]

Thanks a lot for thos video ma'am. Can i use castor oil? Is it heavy on skin?

[@Shriti6363]

Hi... I like all your formulations... They are fabulous... Thank you... Can you please make a video on matte lipstick making tutorial... Please 🙏

[@godsfavour86]

Thank you! Please can I use arrow root for my DIY hair butter for thickener too?

[@nanadansoapau6956]

Thanks for the tips

[@999hotchocolate]

Have you ever used cornstarch? If so what were your results like?

[@ok2x]

arrow root powder works great but its been found to be high in lead in alot of sources :(

[@seekeroftruth1484]

Subscribed from California! 💐💚

[@Buttergirla]

Can this be applied to hair ? Or would the arrow root ruin it?

[@MarshMel-nc1rj]

hey Oce thanks alot for all of your efforts and great videos it answers alot of wonders my Q is if I use the corn starch will the cream has powder feeling and will it reduse the moistrizeration of the cream ?

[@CougarLyfe]

Hi @MarshMel, your skin will be soft afterwards using Cornstarch or Arrowroot Powder. The powders absorbs excess oil taking away the after greasy feeling. 🌹

[@giffty__]

What is that very white thing u added after adding Shea butter please 😊

[@OceNatural]

Arrowroot powder

[@lomitabramen4234]

Thanks ❤️ Very informative Have a question how make no melt butter

[@OceNatural]

You are welcome ! You can check out my emulsified body butter cream videos on my channel 💕

[@cherylcurtius9845]

Thanks for the website

[@phildonsmith3675]

Do you include the arrow root powder as a percentage along with your other oil ingredients?

[@melodyulbrich4115]

I feel grains of cornstarch in my butter. Now it just feels greasy with grains in it too. It’s mango butter, a little bit of liquid coconut oil (fractionated or something), and corn starch. If I heat it and add water and glycerin will it help?

[@ruthywil]

How do you prevent your butters from melting?? Some people uses cetearyl alcohol, is it necessary??

[@CraftySheenaa]

Thank you very informative

[@nikinice8571]

Why does mine not stay fluffy, day two it hardens

[@nubonyinclaris6048]

Can I use on my face

[@planetpisces]

Thank you so much!!

[@OceNatural]

You are welcome

[@lynettejoubert941]

Do you have a recipe for me have refund Shea butter jojoba oil

[@ruthywil]

Do you use Optiphen or Cetyl alcohol in this formula??

[@kidskid1203]

Good evening, thanks so much for this tip. Please I noticed that after making my body butter, the oil separated and settled at bottom of the container. Please what could be the cause.

Thankyou for not gate keeping 🥲

[@Feedthebeauty]

Well said sis ❤️

[@OceNatural]

Thanks 💕

[@francita0076]

Sis!! Thank you for this video! It was informative and to the point. Question: I just watched a video and they said to add a preservative like Geraben (I think). Do I need this to preserve the body butter? Thanks in advance ☺️

[@OceNatural]

You are welcome ! Some people add preservatives but I don’t since this doesn’t contain water . You can always add an oil based preservative if you choose to. Germaben isn’t oil soluble

[@francita0076]

@@OceNatural Oce, thanks for responding. I subscribed to your awesome channel!!

[@CougarLyfe]

@@OceNatural It is readily soluble at a level of 1.0% in both water/oil and oil/water emulsions, but not in water alone. They have one for oil and water.

[@OceNatural]

@@CougarLyfe Hi! I believe It is best used in emulsions/formulas with water and not only anhydrous formulas. I am only familiar with germaben II is there another version of germaben? This video formula is an anhydrous formula but for an emulsified body butter containing water I would definitely go with germaben if one is okay with the fact it has parabens

[@CougarLyfe]

@@OceNatural Hi Queen, how are you? I’ll have to go through my Amazing order history. As I said above, not paying attention because I new to the game. The one I ordered was for water base only, and I poured it into oil. No matter how much I blended the two never fused together. Anyhoo, I joined your Patreon group today. 🙏🏽🌹🥰

[@latoyaivey4518]

Are essential oils necessary when making body butter? Which essential oils would you recommend?

[@50shadesofnique60]

No they’re not love

[@UrslaNze]

Ma’am how can I thicken my body butter so it can stand piping?once it gets to the piping bag it starts turning watery.does arrowroot help?

[@OceNatural]

Please watch my detailed body butter video. I explain step by step how to make a body butter that you can pipe with examples. Here is the link to watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmimn2xriK2rn6csi=A5zi4A8T0uk5QLk1

[@LN-tp5rr]

What is the better making emulsifed body butter or body butter with powders ?

[@OceNatural]

All depends on preference . I prefer making emulsified butters

[@mariyaa111]

I just don’t know how much to use! I’m afraid I’m going to make way too much . 😂😂

[@thefire3465]

Where can I buy fragrance oils ? Please

[@OceNatural]

A few places I like : Natures garden , wholesale supplies plus and Brambleberry

[@thefire3465]

@@OceNatural thank you so much big sister

[@nickm9838]

Why do I find small little clusters in my butter?

[@breatheu]

Were all your butters melted completely?

[@Lauren-vd4qe]

improper heating/cooling

[@yaapallen8126]

Please are you in ghana

[@mzvon2s811]

Great vid! I am wondering if you would include your actual measurements for the butters, oils and fragrances, i.e. 16 ozs of butter, etc..? Thanks for sharing!

[@dziwornubelinda3846]

Great 👍

[@OceNatural]

Thanks

[@Actionfigure_fit]

Could you use organic unscented baby powder in the place of arrowroot or cornstarch?

[@foreigntay_]

No. Some people have bad reactions to baby powder.
