Why is my body butter greasy? | Fix greasy body butter | How to make non-greasy body butter

[@mdml0]

I think this is a reason a lot of DIYers on youtube don't demonstrate actual skin feel in their body butter recipe videos. It looks simple and amazing in a jar with flower petals but upon skin application, you leave a greasy trail everywhere you go and everything you touch (people around you will know. lol). Also, you're going to want to wash your bed sheets more often. Emulsified body butter is the best. Thanks for making this video and sharing your experience.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

You've reminded me of one of the first body butters I made, following a recipe I found online. It was all in volumes-cups of shea, cocoa, and jojoba. It whipped up beautifully, but it was SO oily and I had SO much of it, oh my heavens. If it hadn't been for the pride/excitement of making it myself I can't imagine I would've used it 😬

[@mdml0]

@@HumblebeeAndMe I think we've all been through that phase. You apply it on your skin whilst trying to convince yourself it's amazing cuz it's homemade and "all natural" and you're gonna love it no matter what. 😬

[@michellew4737]

The problem is MOST people do not know how to use body butters. If you apply them right after you get out of the shower they work marvelously.

[@AVMermaid]

@@michellew4737 Agreed! Damp skin and butter is just so luxurious and relaxing. I love it! It just soaks in so much better too.

[@ellygatta81]

I don’t mind greasy body butters until I made my first one yesterday. It’s extremely greasy! Now I know what you are talking about.

[@melissapeterson4202]

I've only read your articles before today, today I decided to watch a video or two! So glad I've found you! I love how you explain so much! I'm just learning now, and you make it so much more understandable. Thank you for sharing so much knowledge!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Your comment has made my day, Melissa ❤️ Thanks for DIYing with me, and happy making :)

[@xp3rt34]

Could you please make a video on how to make body butter without melting and how to make it creamy...as well as the pros and cons of this method. Thank you. I absolutely love your content, written and video!!!

[@sharonhamilton6107]

Marie.. I worked pharmacy and i don't spit out names that fast. Wow. I made my best lotion ever. Non greasy... Quickly absorbed. I didit!!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hooray!

[@MsReemable]

Immediately bought your book. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@VoytenTechnologies]

You should make an app for your encyclopedia. And add the ability to sort/filter entries based on texture, absorption etc.

I've found butters that are incredibly absorbent, but not hydrating at all. Not only do they not hydrate, they dry out the skin. Don't all those chemical additives, isopropyl, propane, methane, cetyl alcohol and others, dry out the skin? Aren't all those things something that should never be added because they are harmful to the body? Mango butter is a very expensive butter, what is its substitute? Which butter actually hydrates dry skin? What is cocoa butter? Tnx 🌷

[@TheXenocorpse]

Are you applying them to WET skin? They won’t moisturize unless you hydrate your skin first with water, mists, etc

[@1337Cassie]

Lol who's putting propane in your butters? And then you're also complaining about the price of a high quality ingredient like mango butter lmao. Lady, sounds like you're going to have to pick Do you want mango butter or DEADLY TOXIC CHEMICALZZZZZZ

[@JustKrista50]

Most "dry" oils absorb right into the skin, which is what you want. A mix of dry and heavy butter makes a very healthy for your skin butter. Those chemicals are what oils and butters are made of broke down to a single chemical. Everything, including you, is made up of chemicals. It's been a year, so hopefully you've learned a lot more by now.

[@rmeez4336]

Heyyy your videos and the way u explain the steps is too good thank u so much I just wanna know how to incorporate a powder like starch into the greasy butter

[@bestiechlochlo]

Hi Marie! Thanks for all the tips. Can you remelt a body butter formulation that has arrowroot starch in it and make an emulsifies body butter? I made my frost batch and do find it too greasy for my liking and wonder if I can rebatch it on some way.

[@ellygatta81]

Have you tried using it just after the shower?

[@brendad.6332]

I wanted to ask the same question. 👍

[@brendad.6332]

I made my first and it came out greasy. Trying again. Do you recommend aloe in place of the carrier oil?

[@diane8181]

can you whip emulsified body butter?

[@lina_alt-hermann]

Thank you very much!

You're welcome!

Hi Marie! Can avocado butter be hot processed? I have a recipe for a body butter using avocado butter cold processed but I’d like to try a hot processed with a little cocoa butter. See you at the conference

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

All butters can be hot processed :)

[@brendad.6332]

@@HumblebeeAndMe can you reheat body butter after adding arrow root? Mine came out way too greasy using shea and mango. Not sure if I added too much of the carrier oil. I used almond oil and vitamin E in the capsule form. Thank you for all the great videos!! ❤️🥰

[@rachelkelly7071]

Hi Marie, just wanted to let you know I am a new subscriber from Australia and just love all your videos. Its so hard to find content out there if you do want to start making your own home products and i’ve got to say your videos have been very helpful, so thank you! Just wondering if you could give any advice on making a face cream for my 9yr old who has sensitive itchy skin. Should i just pick one of your face cream recipes and maybe add some essential oils that could help into that recipe? Cheers Rachel

[@kosisoezeanowi6436]

What's the water to butter or oil ratio when making an emulsified butter? Should the water be more than the oil/butter or the butter should be more?

[@farahali6512]

Hi !!!!! I was wondering if you can make a series of body butters or lotion for hotter climate?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I would love to, but I feel like I could only do that well if I lived in a place with a hot climate for a while (which I would also love!). Fingers crossed I can make that happen when international travel gets a bit easier :)

I just found your channel after making a batch of body butter. It feels greasy after trying it in its final solid form. so at this point can I add a powder to it or will it ruin the final batch. Thank u for all the info!

[@idywilson]

How can I make body butter not skid on skin when damp?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Lowering the melting point of the formulation can help, but it's also a good idea to remember that water and oil don't mix, so if your skin is very wet, the water and body butter won't be interested in hanging out. Happy making!

[@sigleysweets]

It’s all depends on how greasy you really want to be lol

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Definitely! It's all about being able to do what you want on purpose :)
