Key ideas in Crafting Your Own Body Butters and Scrubs

  • A hard butter provides the solid base
  • A liquid oil adds spreadability and moisture
  • Cornstarch or arrowroot powder cuts the greasy feeling
  • Hard butters like shea or cocoa are necessary for a solid structure
  • Liquid oils remain fluid and cannot hold a whipped shape on their own
  • Identifying the three essential components of a basic body butter
  • Understanding the structural role of hard butters versus liquid oils
  • Higher butter ratios create a stiffer, more heat-stable product
  • Higher oil ratios create a softer, more 'melty' and greasy feel
  • Ingredients must be melted together to blend fully
  • The mixture must be partially solidified (semi-solid) before it can hold air
  • Whipping is the final step to create the airy, butter-like texture
  • Predicting the sensory outcome of different butter-to-oil ratios
  • The process of combining ingredients to achieve the correct final texture
  • Too much liquid oil prevents the mixture from setting firmly
  • Hard butters are the primary 'thickener' in the recipe
