Making moisturizing Shea Butter Body Butter that won’t melt in summer heat.

[@kimrawls5955]

Lovely consistency. This formulation is technically a cream lotion as it contains water. Body butters are anhydrous formulations. This means they contain no water and are comprised entirely of oils and butters. A preservative is usually not needed in body butters unless there is a chance that water might be introduced into the product. For example, using wet hands to apply the product or using it in the shower. The use of a antioxidant such as Vitamin E is highly recommended when making body butters as it will help to prolong the shelf life of the product. Vitamin E helps to prevent rancidity of. the oils and butters. Also, most if not all, preservatives have what is called a Flashpoint. This means they are only effective when used at the manufacturer's recommended temperature and below. If added above the recommended temperature they will 'burn off' and become ineffective. Again, the consistency of your finish product was amazing. As formulaters who are no longer novices, we often overlook the fact that people look to us for knowledge. A majority of these videos become tutorials whether or not they are meant to be.

[@TyarsEssentials]

Wonderful feedback, thank you so much! I love the idea of adding the Vitamin E. I will definitely try that. We market our "barrier cream consistency lotion" as a body butter to our customers because of the texture and because of the high content of wonderful butters. We steer away from the anhydrous version in the summer months here in southern California, because it's just too hot, and the butters will melt. An emulsified version is the perfect alternative. We always add the preservative at a temperature that will not burn off of course, because we want our products to fresh as long as possible.

[@morpro4u]

Even with an anhydrous product it's still a wise choice to use a presevatives so incase a client keeps their product in the shower or bathroom and accidentally gets water in the butter as it doesn't take much for bacteria to grow! Not a chance I would want to take!

[@theycallmekurn]

Thanks @Kim Rawls for your info, as I was just thinking the same thing about butters vs. lotion with water content. Education is key. Video was great, loved the breakdown of measurements

[@2good2btruette]

Hallelujah!! You've just eased my mind about adding water. I was not going to do it, even though there is a lot if issues with melting etc. No one has explained this type of recipe as clearly and simply, so I can understand, as you have. I am going to embrace water, even aloe juice now. Can't thank you enough. Annnnd, can't wait to try it!

Yay! I’m so glad. Let me know how it works for you. I’d love to hear about your experience with the recipe. Thank you!

The 1st batch, I put it in the freezer, then whipped it. It never flufed up, but it was amaaaaaaaazing! The 2nd batch, I didn't put in the freezer, and it whiped and flufed up. It doubled in size. Exactly what I really wanted. And just as amazing, silky, non greasy... perfection! I originally thought I couldn't reach this stage with water as an ingredient. But I am in Heaven!! I made 9 large jars to give as gifts to some of my ladies at my wedding. You're the best!! Thank you!
