It’s because of YOU I’m a Formula Botanica student! You, along with Yaya have inspired me beyond words!! Thank you for ALL of your videos! I’ve been hooked for years! Oh and I also bought your book, AAAMMMAAAZIIING!!! Love it, highly recommend to all!! And one last thing, LOVE the hair Marie! ❤

I was super excited to start, and my main reason was to improve my great grandmas family recipe into a more desirable product, but hearing all the chemicals and scientific names really intimidated me. Thankyou for explaining what each one does, and why it is needed. Definitely subcribing and coming back for more knowledge from now on.

I received a traditional whipped body butter from someone who probably just didn't know that there are better formulas out there. It's cocoa butter, shea butter, almond oil, coconut oil, and lavender oil. I tried it once and it felt like I'd poured oil out of a bottle straight onto my body. Not my thing. The only anhydrous butter I've ever liked was your sugar plum body butter. Mango butter is an amazing thing. Otherwise? Emulsions all the way for me! Aside from the lighter feel, my skin wants hydration, not just moisturization. I'm looking forward to the rest of this hot chocolate series. Yummy!

[@makeit2649]

Thanks for another lovely video and recipe.🥰 My only question is, what distinguishes an emulsified body butter from a thick lotion or cream? They both have the same basic ingredients, and follow the same process. Is the nomenclature personal preference, or is it a certain ratio of water to butters? Appreciate you very much!

[@jaymillaur_]

An emulsified body butter and and body cream is the same product. However a body lotion has a higher percentage of water in the formulation than a body cream

[@nsingh2155]

Hi Marie, thanks for another amazing formulation. Do we need to check the ph of every product we make using water? I saw you used ph meter in some formulations using actives but not all.

[@mokshalani8414]

I'm a beginner formulator & I keep coming back to this formula for inspiration (I kinda see it, along with many of your other body butter videos, as tutorials on working with challenging emollients). Is this formula beginner friendly enough that it can around fudged around with, *particularly by someone doesn't have an emersion blender or a pH meter at home?* I liked the large 30% : 70% oil to water phase, and the addition of winter care skin actives (I'm looking to add in Cholesterol & NAG for a little extra skin barrier support without the pH fuss). The challenging emollient that I want to play with is lanolin because that's what my very dehydrated skin craves in the winter, but I know I will be in redevelopment territory since few formulators are interested in troubleshooting it's challenges I don't know if I would still need to test the pH with the swaps/additions that I want to make, particularly when still working with sodium lactate, Ritamulse SCG, & Euxyl™ k 903, or if I can get a good emulsion going without an emersion blender. I'm probably going to try it anyway, just to find out, but I'm always seeking insight from the experienced

[@ariwibowo6381]

Hi, thanks for this video, I've been wanting to make body butter that is non greasy and had no luck until I found this on youtube. I made this and I use olivem instead of ritamulse, also i use geogard ultra and Nacetyl glucosamine. The finish product looks really good and not greasy at all! My question is, when I apply this on my skin it feels kind of wet, and a bit "heavy" on skin, although it's not as heavy as the unhydrous body butter. Is it how it suppose to be? Or did I do something wrong?

Hi! Have you read the Substitutions list in the free partner blog post? Generally... kind of? But it would be better to substitute if you can. At the very least, replace them with distilled water.

[@RemphMusic]

I always get kind of concerned when you add panthenol to your heated water phase. In my classes I've learned that panthenol is heat sensitive and can racemize when heated to certain temperatures. How do you avoid this from happening? You always seem so confident with all your ingredients so I'm curious. I really love this formula by the way, the only thing I do is I add all of my heat sensitive ingredients at the cooling phase. Have a great day

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Making Cosmetics & Lotion Crafter both include powdered dl-panthenol (what I use) in the heated phase and say nothing about it being heat sensitive (sample formulations include it in the heated water phase when there is one: lotioncrafter.com/blogs/skin-care/exfoliating-body-conditioner, lotioncrafter.com/blogs/facial-care/soothing-moisturizing-lotion-with-montanov-68, lotioncrafter.com/blogs/facial-care/hydrating-conditioning-gel-serum, lotioncrafter.com/blogs/hair-care/simple-luxurious-hair-conditioner). Formulations I've found from TRI-K and CoastSouthwest on UL Prospector include it in the heated phase as well. That's why I include panthenol in the heated phase-because the manufacturers and sellers of the ingredient tell us that's how to use it. I'm not doing anything special, just doing what the big guys do.

[@RemphMusic]

@Humblebee & Me Wow thanks for answering! I really didn't know that haha 😅 It's interesting though, I always tried to be as gentle with panthenol as possible because in my country it's labeled as sensitive ingredient. I need to do some research, maybe my panthenol is a different version 🤔 Have a great day 😀 Lots of kisses from Poland 🇵🇱

[@RemphMusic]

@Humblebee & Me Oh now I see 👀 I've found it on your website just now haha DL-Panthenol in powder form can be included in heated water phase due to its resistance to heating, what I have is liquid Dl-panthenol, which for some reason Is very heat sensitive. I wonder though what causes it.

I notice that you didn't include any of the tips that you gave in your recent video on making body butter formulations feel more expensive. What would you recommend swopping out to include any of those ingredients, i.e. clay, BTMS and liquid ester?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hi Shirley! The tips in that video are for anhydrous, or water free, body butter formulations. They are designed to counter formulation challenges that don't really exist with emulsified formulations like this one :) For instance, the inclusion of clay or starch in a body butter is designed to counter greasiness, but this formulation is already non-greasy because it contains far less oil than an anhydrous body butter does.

[@shirleyedwards1490]

@@HumblebeeAndMe Thank you so much. I am so looking forward to trying this one

[@celescole31]

Made this and it was divine! But once I added the cool down phase (preservative, etc) the butter started to separate :( is that because the butter didn't emulsify enough? I had to reheat and blend again to save it (phew!)

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

That's odd; did you make any substitutions? Was the emulsion fully cool and thick when you incorporated the cool down phase?

[@celescole31]

@@HumblebeeAndMe I used Optiphen Plus which is the only preservative I have on hand. I did omit Propanediol, vit B5, and Euxyl™ k 903 and replaced with your suggestion. It did cool down, but now I'm thinking it might be the blender - I didn't think it'd need that much power to blend so I used whist and milk frother (lol) at first, and then I switched to stick blender. I don't remember though if I reheated it the last time I made it (made 3 batches! so good!) or was it resolved by just using stick blender. I'll watch out next time!

Do you make anything with safflower oil? Ty

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Yes! You can find a list if you look up safflower oil in the free Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/) and scroll down. You can also use safflower oil instead of many different carrier oils. In this formulation you could use it instead of the apricot kernel oil. Generally, I'd say you can use it in any formulation that calls for sunflower oil, apricot kernel oil, sweet almond oil, grapeseed oil, or canola oil. Look up any of those oils in the Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia for even more formulation options :)

I calculate tocopherol to be included around 0.5% of the oil phase to protect it from oxidation, as seen here. This concentration is also supported by Modern Cosmetics: Ingredients of Natural Origin, A Scientific View, Volume 1.
