Transcripts

1. Introduction: Welcome to DIY or rather MAY make it yourself ripped body butter costs. In this class, we will cover the basics of making a simple body butter formula, expected shelf-life, storage tips, some carrier oil and essential oil options. Bless some troubleshooting tips. If your body butter turns out too greasy, grainy, soft or hard. Are you ready? Let's get started. 2. What is Whipped Body Butter?: When I say ripped body butter, I am referring to a product made with a cosmetic butter arbiters of some types, such a shear butter, mango, but the cocoa butter carrier oils such as sunflower, coconut, Juju, grape seed oils, etc. Sometimes hubs such as Kandula dangling. I'm sometimes essential oils for send. Every so often you will see Odessa be described as a body butter, but it will have a water ingredient in it, like water, hydrocele, allo, herbal tea, etc. Those can be lovely to use. Two, I consider them more of a cream. In this class, we are talking about body butter is made only with oils and butters. Nothing water-based. 3. Basic Equipment: All right, how does one get started with making body butters for their own use, as well as to give as gifts for friends, or perhaps even ones that can be solved for some extra pocket money. You begin with the right tools. After all, no job gets stand right? If you don't have the proper equipment for it, the things you need for this is pretty basic and most can be found in your home. Number one, storage. For this, you will need some glass or plastic jars. You can also use aluminium cases you will leave to sanitize these, of course, to make sure that your body butter remains clean. Seconds sanitization. This can be done through a process called boiling water bath, which basically requires you to immerse the jazz in water then bringing it to a boil. This should take no more than 15 minutes and should only be done on the day you are actually making the body butters. Third, scales are measuring spoons. These are pretty self-explanatory. You will need these to properly measure out your ingredients and make sure that you're not going overboard with any of them. Too much or too little of one thing can lead to a body butter that's too soft or too firm to rip. A stand or a hand mixer. You will need this for ripping the body butter into its proper consistency. And electric mixer will do the job faster, of course, but a hand powered one shouldn't be too troublesome. If you have the energy and time product or double boiler. For this, you just need to plot one smaller than the other, but with fit snugly on top of the larger ones. You will need to fill the bigger pot halfway with some water before placing the smaller one over it. This nice little contraction would allow you to heat your materials checked leave without scorching them. Six, a glass bowl or any heat proof container. As your ingredients will be hot. Seven gloves as a safety precaution, of course, for when you're handling hot objects and piping bags. These are optional, but if you want a mess free way of getting your body butter into the jars, then this would be the best way to do it. 4. Basic Ingredients: Butters used in body butters. Shia butter is a fat that's extracted from the nuts of the sheer tree. It's solid at room temperature and has an off-white or ivory color. It does have a heavier feeling and it's more prone to getting green. The center of Russia, butter can be overwhelming. So to find shear butter is most often used in body butters. Mango, but it absorbs into your skin faster than shear butter. So it's a good choice if you're trying to make a lighter feeling body butter. Cocoa butter is a fat that's extracted from cocoa beans. Undefined, cocoa butter is darker than shear butter. With the brown node or coffee tend to it. And then natural centers, unmistakable. It has a strong chocolate, send it to find cocoa butter is usually used in body butters and is easily absorbed into the top layer of the skin. Other factors that can be used at avocado butter and cocoa butter oils and body butters. One of the most common complaints about body butter is that it can feel too heavy, oily, or greasy on your skin. To some extent, body butters are going to be naturally rich because it made with butters and oils and there is no water to lighten them up. However, the type of liquid or you choose can make a huge difference in how heavy or light your body, but it is heavy oils and ones that take a longer time to sink into your skin. These include olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, macadamia oil oil, avocado oil, and castor oil. By lighter oils are ones that soak into your skin more quickly. They're good oils to put in your body butter to make it feel less oily and greasy. These include grape seed oil, fraction, coconut oil, oil, rice bran oil, apricot kernel oil or gas or oil, hazelnut oil, safflower oil. Then also some medium oils which absorbed into your skin more quickly than heavy oils, but might take a little longer than the lighter oils. These include sweet almond oil, hemp seed oil, Chia seed oil, and pumpkin seed oil. It is a good idea to combine this with a lighter oil too. Next up, tapioca starch. It can help taken the homemade body butter and isn't excellent absorbing agent. Alternators to tapioca starch, odd root folder and cornstarch. And finally, a sensor noise. Essential oils will add natural fragrance to your body buttons. Some of my favorite essential oils to use our laboratory. Sweet orange supplement, geranium, rows and sandals would I like to use about 0.5 to one per cent of usage rates, which means not more than two or three drops of 50 grams. One last thing, preservatives. You do not need to add a preservative to body butter. Preservatives fight bacteria and mold, which shouldn't be a problem as long as water isn't introduced. You may want to add an antioxidant. Antioxidants are ingredients that help keeps it from going too quickly. They won't help with mold or bacteria. Anti-oxidants for body butter include Vitamin E, Rosemary at the oxygen. 5. Storage & Shelf Life: Stored in the body butter. It is best to store homemade body butter in amber or cobalt glass jars that are airtight. Clear glass jars. We'll also work if they're kept out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat. Placing the jars in direct sunlight promotes oxidations, which ruins the body butter. Many times homemade body butters We'll begin to warm and melt, causes them to lose a disk like consistency. There is no need to panic and towards the body butter out. If this occurs, simply place it back into the ureter and we've lived until it develops the disease, consistencies, lines again, shelf-life of body butter. Since most homemade body butters don't contain a preservative, this shelf-life is less than that of commercial body butters. However, trying to pinpoint the exact life is difficult since each body butter recipe contains varying ingredients. A good general rule of thumb, however, is to keep the body butter on refrigerated for up to two months. Placing the body butter in the fridge will increase its lifespan but causes it to become a bit too hard. Instead, keep the body factor in Nepal room and use within two months. 6. Whipped Body Butter: So here's a small video of how to Omega and body butter. I'm using some cocoa butter here, some Shia butter, some coconut oil. For somebody who's in my coconut oil had some coffee grains in it, I guess from the time I was using it to make a scrub. But I guess that's alright. And I'm using some light olive oil. All these ingredients are in my double boiler container. And I'm going to put it up on heat. Make sure it's on low to medium heat. You can see that the butter isn't already started to melt. Now I'm going to add in some sandalwood essential oil, Sandy Hook essential all is perhaps the most prevalent of oil. Next up, I'm going to transfer the oils into or he proved container. I'm going to let it cool down for ten to 15 minutes before I put it in the freezer. And I'm going to let it be in the freezer for about 20 to 30 minutes. If taken it out of the freezer after about 30 minutes, as you can see, it's pretty hard. It's going to make my job very tough. When I'm ready to whip. I'm using a hand mixer here. It took me about 20 minutes to wrap the whole thing. You can see in green. Here. You can see it's a bit hard. I need to blend mode. So end result should be a butter cream like texture. It looks just like it. For that butter cream. Real quick. I think it's a bit too greasy for me. So I'm going to add a bit of corn starch and don't have tapioca starch. You can also use Adobe product. It all together. That's perfect. Absorbed very quickly into my skin. It did not stay greasy, oily at all. I'm going to translate it into a small jar. It smells. And there you have it. You're simply ripped body butter. 7. Tips & Considerations: Hello, main body butter makes it thoughtful and well loved gift for any occasion. If you decide to give the gift of homemade body butters, remember to dress it up a bit for an impressive presentation scope, the homemade body butter into a piping bag, typically used for ice cream cakes and cookies, and pipe the body button neatly into the gift containers. If you don't have piping bags on hand, you can make a makeshift one. Also consider printing out a custom label that can be achieved to the top of the Jocelyn wants the body butter isn't inside the jar. Die acute risk went around the jar to finalize the presentation. 8. Conclusion: Thank you so much for watching.
