How to make Body Butters; Formulating for Beginners

[@TaraLeee]

A few things I forgot to mention in the video - I used 5% arrowroot powder and 5% corn starch. Highly recommend arrowroot powder over corn starch. Also, I highly recommend the addition of vitamin E in anhydrous products. I believe I talked about this in a past video of my “formulating for beginners series” Vitamin E keeps oils from oxidizing. Meaning it will help keep the oils fresher resulting in an anhydrous product that lasts longer. Always remember, vitamin E is not a preservative. It just helps oils last longer by delaying the oxidation process. When oils come into contact with oxygen it degrades the quality of the oil and eventually produces rancidity in oils.

[@Amari_by_Marris]

But wat preservative is used in facial oils that contain dry organic plants in them for more benefits?

[@safa3763]

Hi Tara Lee, I love your videos! Can you please show us how to make a lightening serum for the intimate areas in the body? Thank you so much ❤️

[@maritza5406]

Hi Tara, what do you recommend so that the body butter does not become hard after finishing mixing, which I can add to keep it soft and hydrating

[@kaylalhuillier1303]

Hi Tara! What percentage of vitamin E oil would you add to this formula and do you decrease any of the other percentages once added?

[@christineinatorres9211]

Can i use clays instead of the powder?

[@kristie5916]

I feel like most people want to keep their recipes/formulas/advice a secret, but I love people like you who share it for free! Total genuineness 🤗💓

[@TaraLeee]

Awwwh thank you so much! I love sharing what I learn with you all :)

[@TracyD2]

If they tell you than you won’t buy their products. I understand to a certain extent. Nowadays most things are researchable. It’s hard out there to make a living. 😩

[@TaraLeee]

The fact that I share my knowledge on formulating doesn't really make me scared that people aren't going to buy my products. A lot of people aren't interested in making their own products, they just like to watch and learn. & the people who do want to learn how to formulate, probably aren't going to buy my products anyway, because they make their own.

[@kristie5916]

TaraLee very true! I'm pretty sure 90% of those watching just like to be informed and learn but won't actually make their own products. I think if you aren't going to make a business out of it, it's not worth buying all the stuff to make it yourself, so it's better to buy from those who already are making it. Plus supporting small businesses is so dear to me ❤️

[@TracyD2]

TaraLee Not you. I’m talking in general. I’m mainly thinking about some instances in the soap making community I observed. It is their business to make and sell soap and a lot of them almost never give out their formulas. Their videos are more of a promoting than tutorial. Maybe it’s because most people that do look at those videos do make soap. I really don’t know. I was just answering in general why a person might not give it up.

I just ran across this video.. and it woke me all the way up!!! I needed that CB wax!! It’s perfect for me now!!! Thank you soooo much! I’m plugged in now!😘😘

[@jvtreed]

This was a great video! I have a question, how do you come up with the percentages for your butters? I know they have to equal out to 100% but how do you know the percentage of each ingredient you're going to use?

[@morginafinney5318]

It's based on batch size e.g. batch size you're trying to make is 200g you would do the percentages based on 200g being 100% hope that makes sense

[@dareal.playgirl]

I’m late but jus research each ingredient to know how much is recommend to use. Wherever you buy ingredients from online should have info that explains how much of a product to use in different formulations. Hope I helped

That's why I haven't started yet stuff is to expensive to try and figure out on my own... I'm confused

[@tiffanyvlogss]

Go futher down in her vedios, you will see the percentage heading vedio

[@morginafinney5318]

It's based on batch size e.g. You're making a 200g jar of body butter so you would use 200g as your 100% so 70% butter would be 140g in this example

Hi Tara! 💘 First want to say you are my inspiration to branch off and start my own skincare business! It's always been in the back of my head as I make all of my own skin care items but you break it down so well and are so thorough from your video to the description bar. Then you understand the science behind it all!! AMAZING! My question is though.. how can I create a butter including of course butter then esters, hardeners and natural oils like Vitamin E or Argan? I am trying to formulate off of your last advanced recipe of 50 % butter 25% c12-15 alkyl benzoate 10% coco caprylate 10% of cetyl alc or stearic acid 5% IPM Can I just trade in one of the esters for a natural oil? Like the c12-15 and just add in 20% of whatever natural deriving oil I choose? I hope this all makes sense!!! You've helped so so soooo much because I love learning the science of anything and you have me feeling so much more confident to start out on this new venture 💕

[@oliviagraves5327]

More info on butters: For those who don’t know, butters in their raw form (before you whip up your ‘body butter’ recipe) are sourced from nuts, beans, and seeds. So, butters can have a nutty aroma (if they have an aroma at all) or an aroma with the characteristics of the plant the butter is derived from (like cocoa butter smelling chocolatey). Smell can also depend on where the plant grew up. Butters can add viscosity to a recipe. Like Tara mentioned butters are moisturizers. You may hear them referred to as emollients which means moisturizer (put plainly). :)

[@TaraLeee]

Love this! Thanks! 😊

Do we add vitamin E to conserve body butter????!!!!!

[@oliviagraves5327]

@@dhahriassia3438 According to this video by Tara (kzbin.info/www/bejne/qniTZJagf8tmjpI) Vitamin E oil is an antioxidant. Therefore you can use it to preserve oil/oil based products. However, the moment water is introduced to the butter they opens the door for organisms like bacteria to make a home in the product. Tara said where there is water there is life. Which is true. If you are just making body butter for yourself vitamin E oil sounds like a reasonable preservative to use. If you make a small batch, even if you get water in it because your hands weren’t dry when you got some, you may end up using all of it before there is enough time for anything to go bad. I recommend watching Tara’s formulating for beginners playlists!!! She explains a lot of this stuff. Honestly because body butters are anhydrous and a lot of butters and oils have a shelf life of a year in the correct environment you may not need a preservative at all as long as you keep it dry. Good luck on your body butter making journey :)

[@petrinasantosprophetic]

Good video, though advice for making body butter, do not mix alcohol in your body butters because it tends to destroy the character of the butters growth process. Body butters come from the African history please research on that and see how it is formulated to not only give a luxury feel but to also give full benefit of the nutrients it provides.

[@melaninduh7962]

Exactly

[@dianeespinoza8647]

I don't think you are understanding which types of alcohol she is using in her body butter recipe. She is using a FATTY alcohol, that adds wonderful moisture to a product without being heavy or greasy. It can also bring body and thickness to a water based lotion. This ingredient doesn't cause any degradation to any of the other ingredients.

I started working on sugar scrubs and transitioning into body butter as well. I can tell from your video Sugar Scrubs and Body Butter are NOT the same thing. They do not even have the same ingredients for body butter. Body Butters depends mostly on how much oils and butter you add into them. Which is why I tried buying arrowroot powder to figure out how I am going to add into my products and as well as different oils like grape seed oil. I am trying to not make my Body Butter too oily since I add too much oil into my sugar scrubs I thought it would be fine to do the same for my body butters.
