This cream looks amazing, am very keen to try your recipe. Thank you 🐾🥰
i definitely recommend, you wont be disappointed :)
Hi. Did you have to use a preservative in your diy because of adding the aloe vera gel? I sure want to make your recipe! 😊
Thanks for sharing , very helpful
thank you!
I will try to make it because my other recipes are more oily but I’ll try this one
I just need a bigger batch 😅
I have made this a couple of times and I really like it. Could I substitute the shea butter for either cocoa butter or mango butter?
❤gorgeous absorption dear.
Thanks! It really is amazing 🤩
Can you follow this same recipe with she’s and mango butter?
Question
Can I use liquid aloe Vera instead of gel ??
Does it works for kids as well? Just wondering because all those oils you put in the recipe are really good for all the ages. Just to be sure I am asking. This is going to be my first time trying to make body butter your recipe is really good one very well explained including proper measurement.
It seems that the oils are higher than the butters
Aloe Vera gel adds water. Don't you need a preservative when you add any water?
Only if you are using fresh or organic/preservative free aloe then I would recommend adding some (Germall Plus is my go-to).
In this recipe I opted to use a store bought aloe gel, Fruit of the Earth. It's alcohol free and already has the preservatives needed. It works exceptionally well with this recipe! I have not used fresh aloe since lol (been making this exact recipe for over 4 years).
Great question, thanks for asking! I need to update my written recipe to talk about adding a preservative if using an organic or preservative free aloe gel.
@@ritastreasures Love your explanation, thank you.
How much Germall Plus should be added if using preservative free aloe vera?
that looks lovely! do i have to use all the oils shown here? im not a fan of coconut oil lol
Nope, feel free to swap out oils! You can substitute additional almond oil in its place.
Check out my DIY page, I have all sorts of alternatives to consider: www.ritastreasures.com/shea-butter-body-cream/
@Rita's Treasures hey there can this recipe be used In hair aswell?
@@raneshaleblanc2824 i would recommend using this right after washing your hair. while this cream is on the softer side of homemade shea butter it is still thick, so you would want to use it to seal in the moisture. a little goes a long way!
@@ritastreasures thank you
Can I add vegetable glycerin to this? If so, how or how much?
hi @bettyspencer3120
you can totally add vegetable glycerin to this recipe! i would recommend altering the recipe a little to add in the glycerin in 2 ways, either:
substitute the coconut oil with the glycerin (2 tbs) OR
instead of using 1/4 cup of castor oil, use 2 tbs of castor oil and 2 tbs of vegetable glycerin
hope this helps!
@@ritastreasures thank you so much for responding and giving me options!
That aloe vera gel has formaldehyde i wouldn't recommend using it.
I made this recipe but the measurements you provided do not work because I follow everything and the final result was too loose and oily
I couldn’t even use all the Aloe gel because the butter was too loose.
Sorry to hear that! This could have happened if the butter/oil mixture needed to be cooled longer.
I like mixing a glass bowl and placing it in my freezer until the top layer at least hardens. The cold bowl helps with hardening it further while blending in the aloe.. Taking it out too early will result in a runny mixture.
@@ritastreasures thank you beautiful for your reply and advice
I really really appreciate you
I love your recipe thou
I’m still using the shea butter and with time it got harder a little bit so it looks and feel better.
I’ll try to do it again
@@SheabaButters your welcome! i know the feeling of when something doesn't go as planned! i hope the advice helps you in the future. thanks for checking out my DIY :)
What about a vegan option plz
hi @gr8stuff8! this recipe is vegan :)... shea butter can sound misleading but it is made completely made from the nuts of karité trees
@@ritastreasures thanks. That helps alot
That's a lot of Aloe. A full bottle
That's because the aloe helps to achieve the super fluffy and airy feel of the body cream. And that wonderful absorption.
Aloe is FULL of amazing benefits for the skin too.. it's highly moisturizing and acts as a humectant (draws moisture from the air and puts it into the skin). It also has anti-inflammatory properties - works great for those with itchy skin, rashes, allergic reactions, eczema, you name it!
Of course you can always add less aloe gel to yours if you decide to try this DIY. Options are endless! 😊
You can also check out my DIY webpage it goes a little more in-depth about the ingredients and why they are chosen. www.ritastreasures.com/shea-butter-body-cream/
