I am so glad I found you. You're like an answered prayer... You may not understand. I've wasted a lot of ingredients doing the wrong things, but your videos are righting all my wrongs ❤❤❤ thank you.

Humblebee & Me Just a question, since this has no essential oils in it, would it be okay for a pregnant woman to use? On the baby? I'm thinking it would be okay since there are no essential oils in it and the scent comes naturally from the cocoa butter.

[@kimberlyo2037]

I can’t wait to try this, I have a daughter who says that the body butter recipe I made feels to oily for her skin, I’m 61, so I need the extra oils, but I think this will be perfect for her Thank you for sharing, love your videos!

Hi , thanks for your lovely videos. I want to make body butter which will not melt in transport .. pls help Emulsified butter is the solution for that ?

[@paulahughes601]

I am in the process of making whipped cocoa butter lotion. Of course I had to try it in between whipping. Luscious, light and yummy. My first try. I did add EOs. Very light. Will never buy a lotion again. Can hardly wait for next recipe!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

OOOoh, lovely! Don't forget to check out my blog (humblebeeandme.com/)-I've been blogging for over 5 years while I haven't even been on KZbin for one, so there is TONS more content on the blog!

[@karenb3857]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!Good Morning! I made this yesterday and IT'S amazing!! Not greasy at all, which I love! My skin feels so soft. I definitely will be making more, lots more! I think i must be the only person that does not like the smell of cocoa butter. Maybe a little vanilla? Thanks so much for your fantastic recipes

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I'm so glad! If you don't want the cocoa scent from the cocoa butter, look for deodorized cocoa butter :) A touch of benzoin will bring a vanilla-like note, too!

[@karenb3857]

Humblebee & Me i just ordered the deoderized c.b !! Cant WAIT for it to arrive! Thank you

[@karenb3857]

Update - my deoderized cocoa butter finally arrived and i made this lotion this morning. I used a bit of Oatmeal, milk & honey frag oil and OMG, it smells amazing!!!

[@cataddiction7103]

I love cocoa butter because it is so easy to use. I added it to candles. :)))

That must smell amazing!

[@zitoonaful]

Hi what is the temp when you add the preservative?

[@livefreewithcyndylee]

I would have never thought of a recipe like this. I can't wait to try it. Is Ecomulse ok to use for this recipe? I might add a slight bit of coffee essential oil. Mocha latte body butter meringue sounds perfect for this time of year 😊

[@theseventhskyProd]

Do mind name the preservatives u use?

[@KiraKixxx]

Hi Marie, so grateful to have found your channel. I am struggling to find Liquid germall plus all the way in South Africa, is there perhaps a more accessible broad spectrum preservative I could substitute? thank you 🌸

[@elisabethdavid3926]

Kira Keulemans hi! I'm from South Africa too! There's an online store called fun with soap bases in Kempton Park. You can try them for preservatives they have alot of special chemicals for DIY cosmetics and they aren't badly priced either. 😃

[@tusmoabdi9954]

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thank you!

[@emiliea.1274]

Hi there! I have all ingredients, but need to order Germall plus from US (I’m from canada). Before ordering it for nothing, I would like to make sure I like the texture of this meringue. So if I omit the germall plus just to try it out, will I have still have a good idea of the texture? Or will omitting it change the texture too much?

[@46zxcv]

I'm still such a novice at this and find your videos to be excellent! I'm wondering if I simply need to be more patient with the cooling of my body butters and whip intermittently like you do. Trying that on the next batch. I'm not so sure I want to use cocoa butter - can shea be substituted or some other kind? Thanks so much. Pat

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks for watching! I would not swap out the cocoa butter in this recipe-we need a brittle butter to give the recipe structure :)

[@creeksidenaturalsoapssuds6479]

Marie can it be piped ?? Or will that reduce the air fluffiness ? I can't wait to try this. Some pretty sparkle for the holidays yum or pumpkin scent

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I wouldn't-I think you'd squash too much air out of it. Sparkle is definitely a good idea, though!

[@riverheaven8390]

Natural broad spectrum preservatives please Also natural emulsifiers?

[@folasupo-adesola4417]

Does it turn back into oil like regular body butter due to excessive heat? Also do you need to seal the can before putting on the lid if you're selling it.

[@yvonneyu6664]

Can I use it on my face?

[@mndoyon]

Hi Marie! Thanks for the Nice recipe! Do you know if it will stay whipped and fluffy for a long time? Of course if it is kept in a not too warm temperature.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

It usually keeps its texture for a month or two-in my house, at least, which is fairly cool :)

[@mndoyon]

Humblebee & Me Great! - I live in Québec... so, fairly cool also! I will definitely try it. :)

[@leahjadeturner6018]

Hi Marie 😃 this sounds amazing! I really want to try this. I measure in ml, as I don't have oz measurements. I melt down my butters before properly measuring my butter out properly. Please can you tell me what measurements to use in ml to do this please? X🥰 thanku xx

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

In order to do this I would have to weigh out all the ingredients, melt them down individually, and then attempt to determine an accurate mL measurement for each one, and I am not going to do that. Please buy a scale and start formulating in grams-it's SO much easier and WAY more accurate ❤️

[@kumastories4807]

Hello! I love all your DIY videos. You make it seem so easy but today i tried making my own bath bomb and it failed to mold. Sigh. DIY is difficult. Anws I was wondering if polysorbate 80 can replace the emulsifying wax... I am not quite sure how they differ. If you or any other users can enlighten me I would be so, so grateful. Thanks!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks! Bath bombs can definitely be a bit tricky; if they wouldn't mold I suspect they were too dry :) I've got an FAQ to answer your question: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/can-use-emulsifying-wax-instead-solubilizer-solubilizer-instead-emulsifying-wax/ :)

[@ampp3692]

Marie, is it a good idea to include some cocoa powder in it to make it chocolatey?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I probably wouldn't-the amount that you'd need to add to get a proper, chocolatey colour would likely colour your skin and leave cocoa-y streaks that I doubt you'll enjoy too much :P

[@elizabethrobbins8580]

BTW: You only get 1 whisk attachment for a hand mixer.

[@OmoyeniOdunlami]

Hallo. Can I replace Ritamulse in this recipe with LotionPro 165? Thanks

Kind of, but you'd need to make some adjustments. Please watch my deep dive into Glyceryl Stearate (and) PEG-100 Stearate to learn more!

[@Alex-hj1vk]

I tried it it was a nice lotion, but It wasn't light and whippy like yours. I had to add stearic acid to get the same consistency as yours.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

This one is more "marshmallowy" than light and whippy as written :)

[@sheronbrewer4255]

This is awesome! This is going to be for my pregnant daughter-in-law's belly! She will love it! Thanks!!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks, Sheron! Happy making :)

[@sheronbrewer4255]

Made this for Amy (DIL) and she loves it. Unlike most other belly balms, this does not leave an oily residue. After applying on myself I noticed there was a slight momentary watery feel & skid feel. Sort of like when you make a cream or lotion and it separates. Am thinking that I didnt leave the two jugs in water bath long enough, maybe they were not close enough in temp and WERE trying to separate. Thanks for this great recipe!

[@qonitamumtahanah6154]

It's so hard searcing for germall liquid plus. I am in Indonesia. I could only get opthipen. How's that sound?

Hi Marie. I’ve been binge-watching all your videos with excitement since I found you! I feel grateful to access such knowledge without any cost. Thanks for always sharing. I think you’re awesome and beautiful. 🦄😘😘 Please does almond milk count as milk when making lotion/body butter? I know animal milk is a no no. I would like to use almond milk in place of water. I’m trying to replicate ‘Amande Milk concentrate’ from L’Occitane. This lotion makes my skin shockingly soft but it’s expensive. 🙈 Please make a video if you think it’s possible. Thank you ❤️

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Almond milk is also a no-no-it's full of yummy food for bacteria. Looking at the ingredients list for this product, though, L'Occitane hasn't used almond milk, either: Water, Isononyl Isononanoate, Cyclomethicone, Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Methylsilanol Mannuronate, Triethylhexanoin, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Protein, Cetearyl Glucoside, Mannitol, Menthyl Lactate, Parfum/Fragrance, Carbomer, Sodium Polyacrylate, Glyceryl Polymethacrylate, Biosaccharide Gum-1, Methylisothiazolinone, Sorbic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate Se, Xanthan Gum, Benzoic Acid, Dehydroacetic Acid, Tocopherol, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin, Ppg-26-Buteth-26, Ethylhexylglycerin, Peg-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Polyaminopropyl Biguanide, Limonene, Linalool, Coumarin. It looks like they've included some almond protein, but that's a far cry from including actual almond milk!

@@HumblebeeAndMe why on earth is that stuff so expensive? It's literally a basic lotion!

[@laurierussel6073]

Hello Marie! Thank you so much for sharing your recipes! I have a problem with this one I hope you'll be able to help me iron out. The product will roll when I rub it between my hands. I only seem to have this problem with the products containing emulsifying wax. So you know what could be causing this? What adjustments can I make to avoid it? It happens when I use polawax or ecomulse/emulseimulse. Has this ever happened to you?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

That sounds like pilling, which I usually only have issues with in products that contain gums. The water absorbs/evaporates, leaving the gum behind, which creates a film that will pill up if rubbed. I don't see anything in this formula that would make it particularly pill-prone, though. Is there a chance you have other things on your hands? I know pilling can also happen with certain combinations of skin care products 🤔

[@laurierussel6073]

@@HumblebeeAndMe I haven't been using anything else when this happens, it usually happens over a larger area of skin or if I reapply multiple times. I notice the more water I use the less this happens! It's unfortunate because a thick body butter is sometimes nice too. I used the wax you reccommended in your blog post, I follow the links to get my ingredients so I think we're using the same product. Do you think it could be a temperature thing? I usually temp the oil phase at 155 F.

There are many different types of ewax, but you will have to use one of those. Please read through the FAQ (www.humblebeeandme.com/faq/) + Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/) to learn more!

This one goes sort of marshmallowy, and isn't a whipped body butter. If it's marshmallowy, you aren't doing anything wrong-that's just the recipe. You might want to check out my vanilla spice whipped body butter if you are looking for a soft whipped body butter :)

Would doing this with shea butter have the same results? Also, I only have emulsifying wax nf, so I'm going to give it a go and I'll let you known how it goes.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

No, it wouldn't-shea butter is much softer than cocoa butter and will not give the structure required for whipping. It'll still be a cool lotion thing, but it won't be as fluffy.

[@WickedWordzz]

Update, emulsifying wax nf seemed to work just fine. I love this cream. I cleaned and disinfected an old face cream jar and filled it and keep it in my purse.

[@guardianangels6547]

Final product was a little oily and dried quickly on skin, what can be done to make it more moisturising and less greasy as I live in India and we don't face very extreme winters here.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I'd make a different recipe; the things you are looking to change are defined by the very foundations of this recipe. Something like this is nice: www.humblebeeandme.com/lightweight-lavender-spruce-silk-lotion/ :)

[@lorinaylor9619]

What is the purpose of the vegetable glycerin?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

It's a humectant, so it helps attract water to your skin and keep it hydrated :)

[@marythe00001]

I made it with only few ingredients I had (vitamin E, cocoa butter, ewax, water and I did not have any preservative). The cream should be fine if used within week or so right?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Eh.... I'd probably say three days, tops. Think of it as home-made mayo.

[@Iwakeuptired]

Does it matter if you pour oils into water vs water into oils

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Not really, but I prefer pouring the water into the oils as the water comes out of its container more completely. Just make sure whichever vessel everything ends up in is large enough to mix in!

[@marisamonte419]

Can I use beeswax

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Definitely no-I made a whole video on it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpKYZ2xto8yVbq8&lc

[@mamapeach9244]

Hai Marie,can I use raw Shea butter?

No; this recipe does not call for shea butter, and you cannot use shea butter instead of cocoa butter when we need the structure of cocoa butter. I made a video on that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXiuZaChgbeLhK8 🙂

Okay! The vanilla cocoa lotion should though, right? Im looking for a simple, awesome recipe that will go through a pump top mason jar, for easy gifts.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Yup! You may want to make it a bit thinner by swapping out a few grams of cocoa butter for a liquid oil like safflower or sweet almond, depending on how good your pumps are :)

[@kathrynl.3915]

Thanks!

[@kathrynl.3915]

It worked perfectly!

[@Viki1808]

is there anyway to do this without the water?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Not really; you can make body butters using cocoa butter, but if you remove the water element (which comprises over 70% of the formula) you will be fundamentally changing the end product. I have heaps of body butter recipes here that you might like: www.humblebeeandme.com/make-body-butter/ :)

[@ddsisson]

I didn’t want to go through over 100 comments to find if my question was asked and answer so.... How does this hold up in the summer? Does it deflate and melt?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

The melting point of cocoa butter is 34°C; if the ambient temperature closes in on or surpasses that I suspect you will have issues.

[@beelover2827]

will the texture stay in a hot climate?

if i just make a body butter out of shea, cocoa butter, and jojoba oil melted together do i need a preservative? since there isn’t any water?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

No water, no preservative :)

[@ssonal21]

Thanks a ton for the lovely information !!

Thanks for this video! I will try this out but I have a question: will this melt down to an oil if in warmer climate and also does it keep its shape. If not, do you know any recipes or ingredients that will help lotion or this meringue keep its form?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hey! So, I have no idea. Calgary is not that warm, and I just don't get a chance to formulate in persistently hot weather-it's about as foreign to me as formulating on Mars. I have been thinking I should take a trip to Costa Rica for a month and make some stuff down there so I can find out, though, and call it a business expense 😝

I would really be glad if you did that...I live in the Caribbean and follow and make most of your products

For how much time, we can store it?

Can I use a different preservative?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Yup, just make sure it's compatible and you're using it at the correct rate :) You can learn more here: www.humblebeeandme.com/preservatives/

@@HumblebeeAndMe can we skip the step of beating and leave it like a normal lotion?

[@kathrynluddeke9021]

Can this be piped?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I suppose it's worth a try!

[@MommyUvOne]

Can I use this to sell? If I can, how do I master batch the ingredients for 2, 4, 8+ oz jars?

With the greatest respect, you shouldn't be selling products if you can't even formulate your own recipes. Marie teaches DIY here for you to make at home. You need to be studying cosmetic chemistry and learning how to formulate rather than copying someone else. What are you going to do if something goes wrong? Do you know the difference between emulsifiers? Do you understand essential oils and photosensitivity with citrus oils? Do you know whether to choose cetyl or cetearyl alcohol for a recipe? Do you know the usage rates for fragrance oils? Do you know how to get a cosmetic safety assessment? There's so much more to making cosmetics than it may appear. Please don't try to sell products without real knowledge.

Hello! Looking forward to an anti aging cream for some of your "older" followers.

Mary, what if I travel and cream going in the suitcase in the trunk , melts ???? I make a Gladstar Mary liqudos is 1 cup and 1 cup of fat with 30 grams of beeswax and the heat melts a trunk , how can I change this recipe and change beeswax by EWax ??? thank you Mary Sorry for my bad english, i hope understend 😳

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hey Teresa! I'm afraid I don't really understand what you are asking. You cannot use beeswax instead of ewax in anything, ever (www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/dont-like-sounds-emulsifying-wax-can-use-beeswax-plant-based-wax-instead/). If you want to raise the melting point of something, use more beeswax. I don't know what a "Gladstar Mary liqudos" is...? - Marie

[@TelesaE]

+Humblebee & Me I will look for someone who speaks English well and rephrase the question , sorry Mary and God bless you , you do not know how much I value your teachings

[@kelleyspartiatis4776]

@@HumblebeeAndMe she's using 1 cup of liquid (assuming oil but could be water and she thinks swapping out the beeswax for e wax will emulsify them. Looks like she's using cup measurements and then adding beeswax in grams.

[@jennysu355]

Love your channel! Just wondering if this recipe can live without the preservative? Try to stay out of it 😀thank you !

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hey Jenny! Please read through the Preservatives section in the FAQ (www.humblebeeandme.com/faq/) :) Happy making!
