Something to note for future reference: Vitamin Oil is not a preservative. It will not prevent mold, yeast and other bacteria. It is an antioxidant, which means it will prevent the oils for going rancid and it is added after whipping (cool down phase) along with the essential oils because they are heat sensitive.

Shea butter isn't a little bit thicker than coconut oil, it's A LOT thicker. The reason yours is so soft, and white is because it is refined. Unrefined Shea butter (usually ivory or yellow in color) is very hard and usually needs to melted over a double boiler then refrigerated before it can be whipped up.

I love your very well documented tutorials from body butter to satin roses. Thank you.

I LOVE this!! I can't wait to try it!!! Thanks so much for the great tutorial and recipe!!

That texture is soooooo satisfying I cant wait till my butters come to make mine!!!

I made this about a year ago , for my grand daughter and her mom wanted more! So I’m using this recipe again. I like it a lot .

GREAT VIDEO!!!! Love the SIMPLE steps to make the Cream, Thank You!!!

Can't wait to try this. Thanks for sharing😊!

I came across your channel today I love your videos I can't wait to make this :) thanks

Thank you Emilie for this great video. I'm learning so much from you.

Awesome! I will need to try this. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you ...been looking for a lotion or body butter recipe...I love lavender too. I use it in my laundry soap also

super simple wow !!! thanks I can't wait

Your video was the best one i ever seen. You explain what i needed to know for long. Great job. Thanks for this video

Just made this with my granddaughter. We double the batch so she could take some home. It turned out great so we are making one more batch. The fist batch we scented with Rose Oil. The second I’m doubling as well then dividing and doing half with lavender and the other half with the Panaway essential oil from Young Living that I use for pain in my legs. It can be my carrier oil and give me all the benefit of the moisturizers. Love it.

Your voice is so peaceful and lovely to listen too. Great video thank you

I just have to say that I ABSOLUTELY love your body butter tutorial! I truly appreciate how you cut to the chase and went straight to demonstrating the process without all the blah-blah-blah (sooo annoying!). I am using your video as my guidance for making a variety of body butters and will be giving the most awesome gifts to my beloved family & friends. Thank you!

This looks really good!

Hi Emilie, great video, you body butter loos incredibly luscious and I am so excited to make some for myself. I am actually looing for some recipes for these and scrubs to make as DIY Christmas gifts. I am so excited to get started. I was hoping you could tell me if the mason jar you used in this video is the 4 or 8 oz. size. Thanks so much, take care!!!

Love this! I'm going to try this one next 😊

After trying the melt and freezer method a few annoying times , I found out that you don’t have to do that ! You just add your oils and beat and blend ! No more arduous time consuming steps and it turns out just fine !

Love that I will try that as long I have the ingredients

I made this it is absolutely beautiful thank you so much

Thanks for sharing. I was looking for a recipe to use in my Viramix. That would liquify and whip as well. You would have to liquify it first and make sure it is almost frozen because the Vitamix could cook it on it’s own

This looks awesome can’t wait to give it a try with maybe some clary sage and red clover. Mum is struggling with menopause symptoms and dry skin.

Great idea using the Vitamin E caps as a preservative. At least it sounds good. I will try it and see.

I am going to give this a try. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so so much This looks great subscribed and liked LOVE U

I can't wait to try this!

I love this mixture, I have made twice. But, I didn't melt it down and it turned out the same. Very smooth and creamy.

i love ur diys!!! thank u

This is a good and easy recipe. Thanks for sharing.

Thank You , Thank You and Thank you!!! I am a fan of natural product...

Vitamin E is a thick and viscous oil that is super easy to mix into lotions, liquid oils, and even bath bombs for its skin-loving properties. It is a wonderful anti-oxidant, but it isn’t considered a preservative because it has noantimicrobial properties to it. Many home crafters use it thinking it will preserve their products, but all it can do is extend the life of the oils in your product (similarly to ROE and GSE).

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I made some for my expecting sister and a girlfriend. Their bellies looked great during their pregnancies and after. They want me to make more and so do their Moms :-) Everyone in my family with dry skin and eczema are excited to use this. I am now looking for a version with out nut oils since my new born niece who has eczema and is allergic to all nuts. The version I make for her will be truly special.

I cant wait to make some of this for myself to try. I never had such dry skin as I have now the last few years. It seems to be worse now in the winter, it doesnt help that I live in Minnesota and it gets so cold here.

It is a lovely DIY. I'l make it for my mums birthday. Thanks for your videos...You are amazing! ( sorry for my writing english, I'm from Czeh Republic)

Thanks for the video. I made sweet orange last year. This year I'm going to make your recipe. It looked beautiful and I am sure it smelled divine. (despite all the peeps fussing about you using the microwave to warm your frozen oils 🙄). Thanks again for this great video.

thank you I made this and it is great thank you. I used a scent for stress relief that I made with only true essential oils this cream is lovely

Thanks for the recipe I'll be definitely be trying this!!✌❤🇺🇸

I love making this stuff. I will never use lotion again and it is my best selling item!

I have NEVER whipped something so long in my life and it's not close to whipped..I put it back in the freezer a couple of times because it was getting hot from all the whipping. I could have made 4 DIY baby blankets in this time. I followed the recipe to a tee! I will try another recipe.

Great video, awesome work.

I made mine today and it didn't come out like whip cream but it was okay. Thanks for the video.

Your vid came up in my list to watch & I'm so glad I did. I get really bad winter dry skin & itch so I'm going to try this. I'm not a fan of lavender, floral scents bother me & cause migraines. What other scents would you recommend that would smell nice with the butters? I am subscribing as well

Great video! thanks

I LOVE this recipe

Oh my goodness is there anything you can’t make? I watched all of your Fairy videos and now I’m going to start watching the rest of them. I’m definitely going to make this Body Butter, I’m going to triple the recipe and use my KitchenAid stand mixer. I know several people who would definitely benefit from it. My Son also has Eczema he’s has something to do with his RA. (rheumatoid arthritis) He’ll have to apply it himself, being that he is 32 years old. 😂🤣😂 Seriously, l’ve literally spent hundreds of dollars buying him every single moisturizer on the market. But, l’ve never tried making my own. Thank you so very much. ♥️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you! Great video. Does the body butter get a bit more firm the next day? I notice mine gets more firm as time passes. Thanks.

Love the video. Thank u

Thanks Emilie. I love your videos. I love the smell of lavender and was putting it in all my homemade creams until I saw on another youtube video that it makes your skin more sensitive to sun exposure. ie. it'll make my skin more prone to damage from sun exposure. Have you ever heard of this?

I can't wait to make this at home!

Thanks for the video. Can you use colors? If yes, what products are the best?

Awesome i love it♥♡♥ i need this creme thankyu

how long does it last? do you use any preservatives? if you do, which one?

Good stuff. Good info. Also your fingernails are manicured perfectly. Do you do them yourself. If so, any tips ?

Thank you loved it

Perfect

I spend a ton of money for specialty body butters. I'll give this a try. New subie.

Love your body butter so easy to make omg skin so skin

Just FYI... I make my own body butter ALWAYS. I do not let it get as firm as you do. I set it in the refrigerator JUST UNTIL it gets a nice ring around the outside and the inaide is cool, but not hard. I use my Kitchen Aide to whip it! It is the most velvety, fluffy butter ever! I put it in small Kerr jars and place all but one in the refrigerator. I keep one in my bathroom and I've never had a problem with it melting, even with hot showering. Just be sure to NEVER get water in it. When my jar is empty, I take out another one from the fridge.

does this melt during the hot summer?

Love the diy

Will this still stay whipped and soft during the winter months?

thank you very informative

Looks awesome! How long does it last?

that was so good I will try it

Hi, how many drops of vitamin E oil should I add? Thanks for the great video.

so what do you do with it once its in the jar? Do you put on your dresser, in a refrigerator or just leave out? If you leave it out will it melt?

It has a lovely texture. How long do this mixture last without going bad? Is it better to keep in the refrigerator? My concern is if I decide to sell some, won't there be any problem?

Omg I will try this I love essential oils 😍😍

Hello Emilie,, I really loved it but the next day my whipped cream was almost liquid.. can you give me a recommendation?

Emilie I made this the 1st time it came wonder but I use Ivory She butter came out wonderful, then I made it with the yellow shea but once I whip it was good put in the jar the next day it was kind of hard. I got the same effect but I lost that soft whip what happen

I don't have shea butter😣 can use anything else instead shea butter?

I just found and watched your video. I have just begun to make body butters and found that for some reason mine are way too greasy. What might you suggest that I do to make the most recent? I have tried adding arrow root powder but it doesn’t seem to make any difference. Not sure what to try . Thank you!

Tyfs Im going to try this

rad videos tnx so much!!!

Do you have to keep it chilled?

do we HAVE to add vitamin e and if yes why? i hope you answer my question..

Do we have to use the sweet almond oil

How long does it stay whipped for? Will temperatures change the consistency if it sits for too long?

How long do you have to whip in order to get that fluffy texture? The best I could get it was like a thick lotion consistency, even after 10 mins or so. All my ingredients were fresh (I know sometimes coconut oil will get too soft when it's not fresh)

How do you keep it from harden up my body butter gets hard after awhile

It should also use Shea butter ? Can i replace with another product?

Hello !! .I bought my coconut oil already in a liquid state so i was wondering how much of it should I use ? 1/2 cup would be too much

If I use just coconut oil and no shea butter, does it become the same consistency?

Can i put all in mixing jar because i dont have machine to whip?

Hi! 👋👋 I loved the video, the recipe is easy and encouraging. Question(s)? What size jar is that & how much would you sell that size jar of body butter for? Video gets 2 thumbs up from👍👍 Thanks for sharing...

Do we add any preservatives? I'm new to this lol or does it not go bad right away

I am pretty new to this. Please what is the approximate shelf life and what preservatives can be used to extend the shelf life. Thank you

I used Shea butter it was not the now brand and it had a nutty smell. Should I try a different butter?

I live in a very hot country that my coconut oil did not solid it melt in normal temperature. Mine did not work it didn’t foam up , any suggestions?

Do you have any tutorials on hydrating dyi body washes?

where I get buy lavander essential

How long does it last? Should I store it in the fridge or in room temperature?

I wanna try it can u make it bigger if chooses to lavender and lemon grasses oil goes well 2gether :)

Wont it deflate with time or with changes in temperature? :D

hi will this stay like a cream or will it go sold again? thank you

I love this one. I made it twice already but I also add pure cocoa butter (hard texture melted with the shea butter and coconut oil) and it smells delicious! I am confused a bit by this recipe because there was mentioning measurement cup of 1/2 cup but I didn't see it used for anything. Am I missing something? What was the 1/2 cup for? It was 1/4 coconut oil and 1/4 shea butter so what's the half cup for? Anyone?

Is there anyway to make it last longer than 2 weeks? I feel like I would like to make a huge batch once a month versus once every two weeks.
