THE best body butter recipe I made over and over. I gifted to my co-workers for xmas. They are encouraging me to make it to sell. I wasn’t able to get my hands on the citrus Bonsai so I went for a coconut creamy fragrance instead. I will definitely keep that fragrance due to the many compliments I received. Thank you for sharing once again!

A suggestion… when refilling your pipping bag, flip the tip over and pinch it with a paper clip. No more loss or mess… Thanks for the video

The final result looks amazing ❤

Your measurements were so on point!! Thank you!😀

When you go to refill the bag, fold the tip over and put a clip on it. This will stop it from dripping out of the bag until your ready to fill the jars.

I have watched tons of videos but your video is easy and amazing. Loved your recipe. Thanku for sharing 👍

One of the best body butter making videos. Concise and to the point. 😊

I made this and it was absolutely amazing and luxurious a few years back. Plan on making it again today so I had to revisit the ingredients list😊

I’ve made this and it is absolutely lovely on your skin and I made a jar for my friends psoriasis and it’s really improved it xxx

I started a couple of years ago making this and giving to family and friends everyone loves it. I now sell it in our local Farmers Market and people love it. Thank You so much

2023..... just came to say thank you💕. Found a video with the comments on. Yeah. You have the patience of a Saint because people really don't listen. Those jars are not available.... lol😅😅😅. They're still asking. May 2023 be a blessing for you and your family

I continue to make this excellent body butter over and over (four time so far). I make half the batch and it lasts me for many months. And I always look forward to making it when I am close to running out, as I will do again this week. Thank you for such a brilliant moisturizer!

Haven't tried it jet, working on other projects right now but, on my list. great presentation.

I've been watching several people make their own lotions and body butters. This is by far the easiest for someone who has NEVER done this before or who is newly discovering they can make their own. So much more simpler than other people have made it out to be with emulsifiers and all this and that and PH strips 🤪. I just want to make me some lotion, geezzzz. You are by far the best! Thank you...

For me, I mix the jojoba oil with the arrowroot powder very well, and then add it to the butter as it’s melting that has helped it not be gritty. And it’s still less greasy.

I just finished making a lemon srub this afternoon, from a video about making sugar srubs. I ordered a container of African Shea butter and arrow power a few days ago from Amazon. Looking at this is soooo easy, other videos that make these whipping body butters drag it on and on. The one I made earlier got me smelling so good. and silky. I just finished making some ordered on Amazon so I need is the mango butter and I'm going to see what types of jars they have.

Good luck in making a batch! I haven't had much of an issue with melting, but it will melt in extreme heat. As you said most of us have AC so not an issue. When I made batches of this for sale, I always put them into our extra refrigerator just to be sure they didn't melt. As for altering the recipe to address this issue, I have no clue what advice to give you. So sorry. I always feel that a jar of this would be used up before melting becomes much of an issue. I also never shipped during summer months. I took pre-orders for fall. Hope this helps somewhat!❤️

Some people add in a hard butter like cocoa butter or less oil. I have tried my own formula as well as this one and they held up. You can also let your customers know that this is a natural body butter and it may melt in transit and if that happens, they should put it in the fridge for a few minutes and it will solidify.

It'll help you find one's you like. When formulating... I buy the dollar tree travel jars the really small ones plus a makeup remover cotton. Then dip a toothpick in the oil and wipe in the cotton pad. Then the next one and so on. Put the lid on for a few minutes. Then test the scent. Adding more.... once I gave something I really like Then I create using a full drop. Not dropper full. When ready Then scale up. I like Cedarwood and lime. 20 drops Cedarwood and 7 drops of lime. But that me.... also check Ulta and Sephora. Also smell all the candles... they usually give the blends.... Join the soaping groups on FB and and reddit. Hope this helps.
