Great recipe, and instructions are very clear. But it would be helpful if you would put links in the show notes regarding the equipment you are using...like those small stainless bowls.
Thanks for this useful video. Do I have to use corn starch? What if I don't include it? Will the shea butter harden over time if I use a ratio of 70% shea butter and 30%Almond oil? Thank you
I've been following ur videos for a long time now... Let me tell u.. u r a very good teacher.. n a great person. There is something special abt u.. the way u connect with ur audience.. It's unique.. much love to u..♥️
I wish I had found your video sooner. My 17 y/o dtr has eczema and OTC lotions either burn or offer little to no relief. I used your recipe (but substituted with hemp oil) and she said it immediately took the itch away. Your recipe has literally improved her quality of life as she has eczema on 70%+ of her body. Thank you sooo much!!!! ❤
I am so thrilled to hear it! I recommend oat oil as well-I've heard promising things from other readers and viewers ❤️ Please remember to check out my blog (humblebeeandme.com) as well-I've been blogging since 2011 while I’ve only been on CZcams since about 2016, so there are a lot more formulations on the blog. The blog is also where my ingredient encyclopedia and FAQ live, and they're both packed with tons of super-helpful information ❤️ Happy making!
This is SO GREAT! Thank You! I live in Florida so it is hot all year around and my whipped body butter always came up a bit runny no matter what recipe I tried...now thanks to you I realized why 🥰 the percentage rates and how you explain it is 💯👍Amazing. Just a small hint for the piping bag...use a small sandwich bag and cut the corner in an X shape to squeeze the whip out in a perfect shape in the jar 🥰 Thanks Again!
Love the fact that you give accurate weights and volumes so that we can follow your recipes. Nobody outside N America uses "cups", so your tutorials are perfect for me....
Thank you for this recipe! I've been on the hunt for a good, simple, body butter recipe for a long time. I used arrowroot and other carrier oils simply because it's what I had on hand and it still turns out great! It has the best texture! So silky. It quickly soaks into the skin which is nice. I highly recommend this recipe to people watching this video 🙂
I just bought your book too and I absolutely love it! I feel like all my questions about formulating have finally been answered. I love that all your formulas are easy too, nothing to crazy and ingredients that are somewhat easy to get.
@@HumblebeeAndMe I did have a question though, if it's not too much to ask. I was wondering about your lipgloss base (beeswax). Does it need to be yellow or white? Does that matter, I believe really the only difference is the color. Also, if we don't have castor oil or jojoba oil, can we supplement it for more of jojoba oil or any oil already used? for example, the beeswax base calls for 16g of castor oil, can I substitute that for more coconut or jojoba oil? Thank you!! you're honestly amazing.
@@HumblebeeAndMe Something related to haircare. Shampoo may be. All your videos are super informative and encouraging. So anything is welcome. Thanks for replying🙂
I know this video is a few months old but just wondered if you have a recipe similar to this but for cocoa butter. This is the first whipped shea recipe I have liked xx
While I love the consistency of body butter for winter time, I’m glad you showed the other consistency/lesser percentage versions because I need something for summer that can go in a pump bottle.
I made this for the first time. I think because I live in an extremely hot environment, the end product felt a little oily. I added a little arrowroot powder. Turned out marvelous. The testers I gave out were a big hit. Everyone loved it. I think I will increase my butter and reduce the oil. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
How much arrowroot did you add? It can get very hot and humid here in South Louisiana and I was already thinking of adding arrowroot to make it less oily
Just made this! And a spreadsheet (... because... I can't not haha). So excited to gift this to my mum for her birthday! Thanks for the beautiful recipe, Marie.
I made it today and this stuff is like silk on the skin. I would say this is really REALLY good for combination skin like mine.I don't recommend using it like an after shower butter tho. When it applied on wet skin white streakes appear.(silly me forgot I had cornstarch in it 😂)

I made this yesterday and it turned out very nice! I used arrowroot powder instead of cornstarch but had to use a lot more then the recipe called for (double the amount). It may have been the heat (over 30°) or maybe cornstarch has a different effect then arrowroot. Either way, I really like the feel of it! Thanks!!!
I just tried it out....and it is amazing!!! I just love it I am thinking of shifting permanently to this body butter Could not get any better I love what you do
Thanks so much for sharing the different ratios of shea butter and how they whipped up. it was very helpful to see how the higher concentration of shea made for a more whipped product.

Hi. I love your videos. Quick question: can I add glycerine to a whipped butter that doesn't have any water, just butters and oils? If so, do I need to add a preservative or will it be safe with just the butters, oils and glycerine? Thanks
Hi Marie. A few weeks ago, I made something you posted then forgot to pin or write down the recipe. It was so perfect but now, even with searches, I can't seem to find it. It was a body butter that was cold processed and the main butter was mango butter. Could you possibly point me in the direction of that video. Thank you in advance. Valerie

Thanks so much for this simplified recipe! Going to try it very soon! Randomly off-topic, I just realized who you remind me of: an actress named Bonnie Urseth. She was on a "Family Feud" episode of "Mama's Family"
Great video!! :) Can you make a video on different formulations after they’ve set? How they harden, etc? I’ve been researching how to formulate, and only see the product being shown immediately after whipping, and not after it’s been stored. Do they deflate, harden, etc?
If the formulation changes meaningfully after a few days I always try to show it-there's no hard rules on how formulations will change/set, it will depend on your environment + formulations. You will always just have to try it and see what happens :) Part of my development process is trying to make sure it doesn't change much!

Hi! Can we use this on hair? I plan to make this ising jojoba oil instead of sunflower oil. Thank you for this super informative and very detailed video.
Hey! You'll find the answer to your question in my FAQ on my website at www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/can-i-use-this-product-on-a-part-of-my-body-other-than-where-the-title-suggest/ 🙂 Happy making!
If I wanted to, could I add BTMS-50 to this?? Or does BTMS-50 work only or best with hydrous/water-inclusive recipes that call for emulsification? And can I heat the BTMS-50 alone in the microwave/oven/double boiler/stove top, or do I have to mix it with a heated oil in order for it to melt completely & properly blend with the room temperature shea butter 🧈? And if so, should the shea butter already be partially or completely whipped BEFORE I add the melted BTMS-50, or does it not matter if the shea butter is solid or not?
I added 75 GM's of Shea and 40 GM's of oil still not solid. It's stilly "lotiony" i tried the 45 Shea and 40 oil composition, add them kept adding Shea for thickening but didn't work. Help please?!
Hi, thank you so much for your super cool tutorials. And this shea butter looks absolutely heavenly. But, can I use an alternative butter and oil in this formula? Something like cocoa butter and Sweet Almond or grape seed oil? Thank you
You'll find the answer to your question in the blog post that's linked in the description box below the video ;) If you're not sure what that means, read this: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/whats-the-description-box-on-youtube/. Happy making!
Hi, tried the same quantity as mentioned by you but the butter is still too greasy and in liquid form. I stay in India and of course the temperature is too hot here. Please suggest do I increase the percentage of the Shea butter ?
Hey! You'll find the answer to your question in my FAQ on my website at www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/i-made-one-of-your-body-butters-and-its-really-soft-oily-its-separated-what-happened/ 🙂 Happy making!
Is it safe to assume for larger quantities just multiply the given measurements by however many time you want the total to be? So, for instance if I wanted to make 4 jars. Would I multiply all the measurements *4?
Generally yes, but please read the blog post-I provide much more thorough guidance on scaling (to any amount-not just doubling/tripling/etc.) there in the Substitutions list ❤️ Happy making!

Hi can you explain why when I make my body butter it tends to bubble up or looks bubbly. I don't heat it and I used different oils and pigments form Tkb
It would be a 1 for 1 swap for the cornstarch-I'll always tell you if you have to change up the % for a substitution, it would be rather confusing if I didn't :)
Hi Bobo! Shea does not need to be heated/melted, and melting opens it up to going grainy. Have you read the free partner blog post yet? ❤️ It contains HEAPS of extra details. I also recommend this post to learn more: www.humblebeeandme.com/why-is-my-body-butter-grainy/. Happy making!
I found this to be very greasy. I guess I can use this when my skins very dry before bed. I did rub a small amount on my daughter's eczema to see if it helps
It's never a good idea to just drop out 10%+ of a formulation; perhaps look at my Whipped Shea Citrus Body Butter instead? www.humblebeeandme.com/whipped-shea-citrus-body-butter/
Awesome! I have a question, when your making body butters do you just say I want 50% or 55% of my recipe to be butter then you calculate the grams from there
Great video Marie as always. Another one I'll have to try. Marie I was wondering if you could help me please? I recently bought 100% niacinamide powder from The Ordinary. They recommend adding a quarter scoop (scoop included - teeny weeny little thing) to four drops of a serum to give between 10-15% concentration. However, the scoop is so ridiculously small it is absolutely impossible to figure out what a quarter scoop is. Could you recommend a way to make up a 10% serum at home using 100% niacinamide powder? I think it would be easier if I could make up 30ml in advance or even 15ml. At least I'd have a better chance of getting the percentage correct instead of the guess work they've left us to. Everyone is giving off reams about the scoop so I reckon it'd be a really popular video if you were to make one. Any video listing the ordinary gets thousands of hits by the looks of it. And this one is causing so much consternation (unusual for them as everyone who uses their products - including me - loves them) I already know there are a lot of people looking for a way to safely use this without causing any irritation from sprinkling too many grains into their four drops of serum. Thanks for all your great videos and info. You're a gem.
I'll keep it in mind :) In the meantime, I would recommend a scale rather than a scoop. Have you tried looking up niacinamide (Vitamin B3) in the Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/)? There's more info + links to formulations using it!
Hi, thanks for this lovely video. I would like to try and do this, can you tell me how you measured 0.2 grams of Vitamin E? I can only find Vit E Acetate where I live, is that the same thing to what you used? I had a look at your website and didn't find info on Vit E Acetate. Thanks in advance!
Hi, I'm not sure if this question was already answered but, I want to sell body butters (anhydrous ones) and I plan to use a preservative but I'm not sure if I should add an emulsifying wax to it? I hear it'll help make it less greasy, and settle on the skin faster. Do you recommend using one?
Thank you for this useful video. Can I follow this without using the corn starch with a ratio of 70%shea butter and 30% almond oil? Wouldn't the mixture harden over time? Thank you
You'll find the answer to your question in the "Substitutions" section of the partner blog post. It's linked in the description box below the video ;) If you're not sure what that means, read this: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/whats-the-description-box-on-youtube/. Happy making!

I know this video is a few months old but just wondered if you have a recipe similar to this but for cocoa butter. This is the first whipped shea recipe I have liked xx
While I love the consistency of body butter for winter time, I’m glad you showed the other consistency/lesser percentage versions because I need something for summer that can go in a pump bottle.
Glad it was helpful!
Baraka is amazing Shea butter. It works so well on it's own to sooth dry feet and it's always smooth and beautiful.
It is so lovely & Wayne is so helpful!
I made this Whipped Shea Butter today. It's smooth and not too sticky and oily. thank you very much for sharing this very good and easy formula.
I made this for the first time. I think because I live in an extremely hot environment, the end product felt a little oily. I added a little arrowroot powder. Turned out marvelous.

How much arrowroot did you add? It can get very hot and humid here in South Louisiana and I was already thinking of adding arrowroot to make it less oily
Just made this! And a spreadsheet (... because... I can't not haha). So excited to gift this to my mum for her birthday! Thanks for the beautiful recipe, Marie.
I made it today and this stuff is like silk on the skin. I would say this is really REALLY good for combination skin like mine.I don't recommend using it like an after shower butter tho. When it applied on wet skin white streakes appear.(silly me forgot I had cornstarch in it 😂)

Hi please help me.. how come my body butters don't keep the scent for the long.
I like to use arrowroot powder in my whipped butter do u think that is good enough
Definitely! It is one of the listed alternative in the blog ;)
could we make a pumpable body lotion that is made up only of butters, oils and cornstarch?

Hi, thank you so much for your super cool tutorials. And this shea butter looks absolutely heavenly. But, can I use an alternative butter and oil in this formula? Something like cocoa butter and Sweet Almond or grape seed oil? Thank you
Hi! Have you read the blog post? This is answered there! :)
@@HumblebeeAndMe I have now :)! Great, thank you. Weekend fun project....
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing such a simple beautiful recipe. Can we add fragrance oil and how much should we add?
You'll find the answer to your question in the blog post that's linked in the description box below the video ;) If you're not sure what that means, read this: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/whats-the-description-box-on-youtube/.
Happy making!
Could someone please supply imperial cup/tablespoon measurements for those of us who don’t have a scale?
Hi, tried the same quantity as mentioned by you but the butter is still too greasy and in liquid form. I stay in India and of course the temperature is too hot here. Please suggest do I increase the percentage of the Shea butter ?
Hey! You'll find the answer to your question in my FAQ on my website at www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/i-made-one-of-your-body-butters-and-its-really-soft-oily-its-separated-what-happened/ 🙂 Happy making!
Is it safe to assume for larger quantities just multiply the given measurements by however many time you want the total to be? So, for instance if I wanted to make 4 jars. Would I multiply all the measurements *4?
Generally yes, but please read the blog post-I provide much more thorough guidance on scaling (to any amount-not just doubling/tripling/etc.) there in the Substitutions list ❤️ Happy making!
What is the purpose of adding corn starch?
Makes it less greasy

Hi, If I add fragrance to my body butters is there a need to add a preservative? since some fragrances may have water content?
I've never seen a cosmetic grade fragrance oil that has any water in it.
how do you keep shea butter soft over time and have it not harden?
It's all about getting the right fat blend-I show different ones at the end. I highly recommend reading the partner blog post, too!
Just discovered you today. Thank you so much!
Welcome! Don't forget to check out my blog (humblebeeandme.com)-I've been blogging since 2011 while I’ve only been on CZcams for about 2016, so there is TONS more content on the blog!
Humblebee & Me you’re awesome! I love your blog and the excel spreadsheet sheet video you made, it’s life changing ❤️.
Hi can you explain why when I make my body butter it tends to bubble up or looks bubbly. I don't heat it and I used different oils and pigments form Tkb
What does the cornstarch do in making whipped butter and how long can It sit
What % of arrow root powder do you recommend?
It would be a 1 for 1 swap for the cornstarch-I'll always tell you if you have to change up the % for a substitution, it would be rather confusing if I didn't :)
Thankssss!🤗
I see some youtuber heat their shea butter, do you mind telling me why you don't heat 🤔
Hi Bobo! Shea does not need to be heated/melted, and melting opens it up to going grainy.
Have you read the free partner blog post yet? ❤️ It contains HEAPS of extra details. I also recommend this post to learn more: www.humblebeeandme.com/why-is-my-body-butter-grainy/. Happy making!
Can I use any other oils in place of sunflower oil? Will they melt in the sun or warm car?
Thank you 👏👏👏👏👏👏
You're welcome 😊
Can cetyl alcohol be used in a hair butter formulation to prevent it from melting afterwards?
Yes I use it that way!
Thanks for the lovely videos
If I use more Shea butter will It make it harder :)
I found this to be very greasy. I guess I can use this when my skins very dry before bed. I did rub a small amount on my daughter's eczema to see if it helps
Can you skip the corn starch?
It's never a good idea to just drop out 10%+ of a formulation; perhaps look at my Whipped Shea Citrus Body Butter instead? www.humblebeeandme.com/whipped-shea-citrus-body-butter/
Can we add mica colour and fragrance oils ( oils particularly in what %)
Awesome! I have a question, when your making body butters do you just say I want 50% or 55% of my recipe to be butter then you calculate the grams from there
Great video Marie as always. Another one I'll have to try. Marie I was wondering if you could help me please? I recently bought 100% niacinamide powder from The Ordinary. They recommend adding a quarter scoop (scoop included - teeny weeny little thing) to four drops of a serum to give between 10-15% concentration. However, the scoop is so ridiculously small it is absolutely impossible to figure out what a quarter scoop is. Could you recommend a way to make up a 10% serum at home using 100% niacinamide powder? I think it would be easier if I could make up 30ml in advance or even 15ml. At least I'd have a better chance of getting the percentage correct instead of the guess work they've left us to. Everyone is giving off reams about the scoop so I reckon it'd be a really popular video if you were to make one. Any video listing the ordinary gets thousands of hits by the looks of it. And this one is causing so much consternation (unusual for them as everyone who uses their products - including me - loves them) I already know there are a lot of people looking for a way to safely use this without causing any irritation from sprinkling too many grains into their four drops of serum. Thanks for all your great videos and info. You're a gem.
I'll keep it in mind :) In the meantime, I would recommend a scale rather than a scoop. Have you tried looking up niacinamide (Vitamin B3) in the Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/)? There's more info + links to formulations using it!
If you have refined shea butter will this still work?
Hi, thanks for this lovely video. I would like to try and do this, can you tell me how you measured 0.2 grams of Vitamin E? I can only find Vit E Acetate where I live, is that the same thing to what you used? I had a look at your website and didn't find info on Vit E Acetate. Thanks in advance!
Hi, I'm not sure if this question was already answered but, I want to sell body butters (anhydrous ones) and I plan to use a preservative but I'm not sure if I should add an emulsifying wax to it?
I hear it'll help make it less greasy, and settle on the skin faster. Do you recommend using one?
Yes it helps especially if u shipping it
I have tried it and it separated after one month any recommendations?
Can I use other oils in place of sunflower oil?
Thank you for this useful video. Can I follow this without using the corn starch with a ratio of 70%shea butter and 30% almond oil? Wouldn't the mixture harden over time? Thank you
You can :) Try it and see!
Can I use grapeseed oil in place of the sunflower oil?

Love this! ♥️ I'm curious if you've ever worked with Nilotica Shea?
I haven't :)
Can I use chestnut flour ???
Could you substitute something like fractionated coconut oil or jojoba oil in place of the sunflower oil? Also, why corn starch?
