I've started to get more serious about making body butters and your website and videos have been incredibly helpful. Everything is so easy to understand and everything I can think of you've already wrote a page on. Thank you so much for this!

Wonderful tips and ready to try them! Thank you!!

Perfect timing! Thank you for the tips! 💗

So much useful information. Thank you Marie.

I absolutely NEEDED these tips and refreshers!!! I’m always battling with making bigger batches of body butter. So excited to up my butter game!!! Especially now that I have a storefront 😍

I made a body butter and added a lot of arrowroot and it felt so nice!

Thanks for the tips 💕💫

Thank you so much for this!! I am so very grateful. I make healing body care for mind, body, and soul as well as spiritual cleansing products and being disabled I like being able to help others but the HOW to make things more shelf stable and other tips in this video have been elusive. Blessing to you on your channel and on your journey!

Can’t wait to try this ❤️

This is a bit of an aside, however I’ve been watching a bunch of your videos (filling in the gaps, finding the smattering of videos I somehow hadn’t already watched in the past few years), and then skim the comments sections. I must say - the number of questions I see that made me think “what on Earth???” is astounding! Questions that are easily answered had the person checked out the partner blog (as you recommend again and again in each video) or just common sense: “can I use ingredient a instead of ingredient b? How much?”. “Weighing is difficult and I don’t want to buy a scale. Can you tell me how much to add in teaspoons, or mg?”. Questions that are so specific and seem outrageous to think that you’d reply to: “For those of us that are new, can you show us how you determine how much of each ingredient to add when making various products, like serums, cosmetics, moisturizers, etc? “ , “I only want to use natural ingredients that don’t have chemicals in them so shouldn’t you provide an alternative version of the recipe for those of us who don’t want to use Franken-ingredients? “ (oh my! those kind of questions seem especially rude 🙄🙄🙄🙄 !) Then the ones that make me scratch my head “the ingredient A that I have is purple and glittery. Are there ingredient sellers that add glitter and color?”, “To let you know, Ingredient C has been proven to cause cancer and is eroding the coral reefs. Scientists confirm it’s a microplastic. Please make a cleanser that does not use this. I have cut out all harmful chemicals from my skincare routine.”, “My mom got me Benetint cheek tint from Benefit and I want to make it myself to save money. How do I make this at home and what do I need to buy?” The list is endless of course. For some reason, this genre of content seems to invite comments that are wacky, demanding, entitled, confusing, and all kinds of “wtf”. Haha!! That said - and for those comments that are grounded enough to justify a response - your remarks are always very polite, a bit humorous, informative, respectful, and appropriate! I applaud your ability to maintain restraint and re-direct heavy-vibe initial comments, to ultimately land upon conclusions that feel much more lighthearted. From the amount of work and time you dedicate to providing loads free amazing informative content, to the clean, concise and easy to follow format and style of your channel and blog, and then your upbeat, soothing, classy and uplifting morale and persona - I am SO thankful that I found you and your channel!!!! I love the beauty world however don’t actually wear much makeup. I value fact and logic, and love learning - so the world of beauty formulating is RIGHT up my alley! I am continuously becoming more and more aware of and informed about product ingredients, and never look at a product without also combing over the ingredient lists now! I love it and thank you!!

Thanks Marie, amazing as usual, gorgeous haircut too xx

Thanks for the tips I'll have to try the starches out!

Love the BTMS suggestion wow what a difference that makes to the final product! I was do you have a recipe video for the balm product shown at the 2:14 mark, that looks amazing!

Thank you love your channel

Thank you for the valuable information. I follow you from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and I tried a type of butter and it was very wonderful and with a luxurious texture.

I have learned so much from watching your channel. Thanks for all the time, work, and effort you put into making these products and videos!

Love the new hair cut!!

Love your hair cut!

What a fabulous bundle of wonderful tidbits! That would explain why your Extra Creamy Clay cleansing balm I just made ended up quite hard (still cleanses beautifully tho). I must've traced/cooled it too well lol :) Next time I will try setting it at room temp instead of fridge. 🥰

Thank you for another great video!!

Congratulations you won the KZfaq award ❤

learning so much from you, thanks a lot.

Honestly the only close to nature idea i liked in this vid was to play with the cooling method or preference and i feel the product doesn't have to feel expensive but nourishing and close to nature well that's how i create mine! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome! I was surprised not to see cetyl alcohol on the list. But perhaps the cationic emulsifier imparts those qualities 🤔 You’ve got me intrigued enough to buy some BTMS 😉

Love it🥰🥰🥰🥰

Hair looks amazing. 😉

Need this!!!! Omggggg

Thanks for sharing god bless you 🙌😘😘😘😘

😱 I’m so glad you mentioned Blue Cocoon!! I purchased some Blue Tansy and Helichrysum oil to try to make it and have been afraid to try it because of how expensive both of these essential oils are! I don’t know how I missed that video but I’m super excited now to try your DIY this weekend!! *I’m super pumped!!* This video just made my day!!! 🥳 Love your channel and blog!! 🐝 🐝🐝🐝

I'm happy to see you❤❤

Can you do a video of mixing starch to a body butter please !!😇😇😇

It looks yummy

Beautiful

Will you ever make a liquid lipstick recipe?

Hi, First! I am very greatful for your quality content. I do not understand one thing though. Would it be okay to add starch dissolved in water first? To make it less oily?

Thank You for this!!! I’ve long been dreaming of making my own body butter that’s light and powderyish without an ounce of greasy feel. I absolutely love a whipped body butter I made probably 4 years ago. However; it ended up still being greasy and I was stuck using it less often than I would’ve liked and only at night… but my skin felt amazing from it after the greasy was gone lol. It was basic and long before I was blessed to have found your channel and even more blessed that my daughter bought me your book as a birthday gift. Anyway, thanks again for this Marie, I can’t wait until I am able to try a new body butter formulation!!! (And I decided that I’m pretty good at making a really nice balm 😄since not having the result of the body butter I wanted I turned to awesome ingredient balms)

Would it be possible to add silica microspheres to a body butter like the tip for clay? I have a bunch lying around that I want to use up but I don't use makeup very much. If so, when would you add it to the formulation for say a whipped butter? During the whipping phase or melting phase?

I have a question about adding cyclopentasiloxane that wasn't covered in the blog post: if the amount of cyclopentasiloxane that I want to add exceeds 10%, could I split it up into 2 separate cool down phases & incorporate them separately? Or would it still suffer separation issues because the overall portion that wasn't subject to high sheer blending is simply too large?

Hi Marie!! how to do ice baths for large batches? Is that a thing? Wondering how LUSH does it for their level of volume on their solid butter bars. Do you think they do ice baths/freezers, etc???

You are the best sweet Marie. Thank you. ❤️👍🙏🏻🌍☮️🇺🇦🌎😘💕

I wonder if powdered pearl & (not hydrolyzed) powdered silk can be ground fine enough to feel silky for a body butter, or if these just stay gritty no matter what

This is a Very helpful video. can you please tell me after making a lotion I get lot of bubbles in my lotion when I poke it feel like sponge please help me with this dear

Loved this per usual!!!! But i wanna know how to get a good pouring body butter mixture without being to runny or to stiff but just right ??

You're a model to emulate

Hi Marie ! A gel moisturizer, is that something that is diy'able? And an after sun cream/gel? Edit: I just saw you already formulated one with aristoflex. That is an ingrédient that I can't find here, unfortunately.

Hi, l would like to know if there ingredients are considered to be natural or not. Thank you!

My brain feels slow right now lol😂😂😂😂😂 hey sis links for bulk purchases on all your supplie purchases and what brands and where to purchase

How do you add the clay and when please? I can’t find a recipe using clay anywhere. Does anyone know ?

Hi Marie, any plant based liquid foam booster for face wash? Iselux liquid is not available here in India. Anything else?

can we use peanut butter in creams and lotion

If I use these ingredients which I have what is the percentage of all for a recipe

My butter came out more like the original shea form. Melts in my palm but is not “whipped” or scoopable like I’ve seen. Hoping your vids help me find a solution!

would any of these ingredients affect my eczma?

can we make soap from bees wax

Heyyy!!! I can’t find where you DIY the Bath and Body Body Butter. Please help. You mentioned it in one of your videos. I missed where it was.

Hai, ik heb body boter gemaakt. Ik was erg blij me, maar door te warm (41 grade) temperatuur is het helemaal vloeibaar geworden. Ik heb het weer in de koelkast gedaan, als ik het weer uit de koelkast haal na een tijdje weer vloeibaar wordt! Waar ging het mis? Wat kan ik doen om een goede structuur te krijgen. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I HAVE A QUESTION. What emulsifier do you suggest for a liquid leave-in hydration spray. I want it to stay liquid form and be able to spray BUT I also want to add oils. HELP PLEASE!

🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

Question: PLEASE, ANYONE WHO IS knowledgeable can reply Can I use real perfume in my Shea Butter batch 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

You cut your hair... it's cute.. so starches or clays. There the missing piece of the puzzle
