Are you looking to create a new body cream but don’t want to mess around with all the chemistry to emulsify your product? We have an excellent, rich, thick body butter base already made for you. This base can be modified to create your own body butter blend.

This butter is a beautiful, whipped texture with a high amount of organic shea butter. On it’s own, this butter would be a great addition to your product line. Just add a little essential oil or fragrance and it can be ready to sell.

If you are interested in customizing it even more, try adding in a small amount of oils such as Oregon Hazelnut oil or Organic Extra Virgin Olive oil to make a massage butter or to just increase the skin hydration. Or you could add in some more organic virgin shea butter or organic cocoa butter to make it even thicker.

Some customers even use this base as a leave-in condition or hair conditioning mask. You could add some hair specific ingredients such as dl-Panthenol, Hydrolyzed Hemp Protein and Hydrolyzed Rice Protein to boost up the hair treatment. Add in Organic Black Seed Oil and Organic Argan Oil to increase scalp nourishment; add in Organic Arrowroot Powder and/or Bentonite Clay to create a hair mask. So many ways to get creative.

Tips to customizing our wholesale unscented shea body butter cream base:

• This base can take up to 10% added ingredients, including your fragrance/essential oil. Standard fragrance loads for cosmetic bases is 1-2%. If you want a really strongly scented base, you could try up to 3%, but that will be very potent.
• Always weigh your ingredients, including the shea body butter cream base. That should always be the way you work, never just go by teaspoons, tablespoons or drops. Those are not easily replicated and you want to be able to replicate your awesome product!
• You don’t need to warm up the shea body butter cream base at all to get the products to blend into it. This is very thick base, but if you add your raw ingredients in the middle of you batch, then mix with a paddle mixer, they will blend in just fine. What I mean by this is if you’re going to make 1 gallon of base (8 pounds), then put 4 pounds of lotion in your mixing container, add in your other raw materials (essential oils, carrier oils, panthenol, vitamin e, etc.), then add in the rest of your shea body butter cream. This puts the liquid ingredients already in the middle. Then mix, starting slowly, so everything is melded together nicely.
• You can extract different ingredients into the shea body butter cream base, such as CBD. You will need to slightly warm the shea body butter cream in order to push the extraction. The key is never get the shea body butter cream hot, or you will violate the preservative system. This is also true if you decide to heat it up to add in your other ingredients. Always keep as cool as possible and don’t keep the shea body butter cream base hot or you could have bacterial issues.
• I do recommend using jars for this product instead of bottles as it is very thick!
