Making vanilla body butter with a new recipe - a beautiful consistency of Shea, cocoa, coconut

Lets make body butter.
I know body butter looks easy and many may say it is BUT creating a body butter that feels just right is not as easy as it seems, using the right oils, butters and ingredients to get that balance takes time, formulating, testing and a lot of work.
My new recipe is included for you to try (you can change oils but each oil that you change means the recipe and the way it works and feels may also change.

Recipe:
700g shea butter
200g cocoa butter
100g coconut oil
350g apricot kernal oil
50g jojoba oil
3% fragrance oil (please check the fragrance as they all differ)
3g vitamin e
3g primrose oil
2 tablespoons kaolin clay or pink rose clay
3 -5 tablespoons tapioca starch

Thank you Rhonda for sharing your recipe. I’ve only attempted 3 other recipes previously to watching your video. I received the extra ingredients I needed yesterday and made a batch last night. I am so absolutely in love with this formula. It’s so rich and creamy and not oily at all. I think these will make great gifts for the women in my family. Thank you once again xx

[kerrytaylor]

Looks so light and fluffy, beautiful, found my last trial batch a bit greasy. Might just add some kaolin clay, thanks again Rhonda

[elainebabb]

I love watching your shows I am a beginner and l tried your recipe and l loved how it turned out. I have one question it has been two weeks since I have made the soap can wrap the soap or should I leave it uncovered? Thank

An I replace apricot kernel with Grape seed oil

[dorezaseptember]

Which oil can I replace with apricot oil, can I use grape seed or sweet almond oil ?

[carliedavenport]

Hi Rhonda, i appreciate what you are doing to help people. Are you Ok?

[tanyabonnett]

This looks amazing Rhonda so luxurious and silk like. Do you use Glass or PET plastic containers. Is there a place you recommend a business for the amber containers.

[kerrytaylor]

Hi Rhonda just trying this recipe, do you use cocoa butter deodorised? I'm using organic cocoa butter chips and my mix at this stage is not white more yellow looking.

[dorezaseptember]

Can I change tapioca starch with arrow root . I’ve seen some recipes put that in

[keinohrtini]

Doesn’t it get grainy when you let the shea butter cool down slowly to room temperature? I thought that’s why people put it in the fridge to rapidly cool it down.
Ps does it stay as creamy?

[karinacanova]

Hi Rhonda, thank you so much for sharing, I want go at it but I have a regular hand blender with two blades, wil it work? I also have o e that came with my stick blender, I see you have one also, but switched to your other blender.

Also, how long does it take to blend until us set ? ( hours?).

[divabarrie]

Can I skip the primrose oil and use those grams for preservative for this recipe.
