Guidelines for Adding Carrier Oils in Body Butter Recipes

I recently started making my own body butters but I don't have any real guidelines as to which carrier oils work best and what's the oil to butter ratio... Are there any do's and don'ts to this? Or do I base if off of my needs and adjust accordingly?

Hi Tamara,

Yep, you adjust the recipes to suit your skin. Here's a link to some information carrier oil properties...

And there's a bunch of recipes you can mess around with, along with some information on the properties of nut butters on this web page...

The great thing about making body butter is that if you don't get it right the first time ,you can re-melt it, adjust the recipe and try again. Have fun and experiment (keep good notes - I always forget and then I'm in trouble!)

Good luck, and let us know what you come up with!
