Kedves ügyfelünk, Ezek a csak olajokat és vajakat tartalmazó testvajak az elkészítés utáni napokon, főleg ha nem voltak habosra felverve, ahogy ajánljuk a recept leírásban is, megkeményednek. Ajánljuk a receptben is megemlített habosítást a levegőősebb, könnyedebb struktúra elérésére. A másik ok lehet a megfelelő keményítő használat. A recept mindenképp lipofil lipofil keményítőt ajánl. Szép napot kívánunk!

Jó napot! Elkészzítettem ezt a testvajat a recept alapján. 250 g-ot készítettem, így minden összetevőből a 2.5x-ét mértem ki. Szép állagot kaptam, viszont másnapra úgy összeállt, bekeményedett, hogy nem tudtam kenni egyáltalán. Fel kellett újra újra olvasztanom, de aztán újra keményre kötött. Vajon mit ronthattam el?

Hello, You can use kokum butter and coconut or babassu oil, which have a similar texture but the finished product will not have the specific fragrance of monoi oil.

Hello, can you please tell me if I can replace cocoa butter with kokum butter and monoi oil with babassu oil, keeping the grams and steps in the recipe?

Hello Alexandra, You can make a body butter with the suggested ingredients. The preparation would be as shown in the recipe, that is, melt the cocoa butter first and then add the rest of the ingredients. The flavorings are added at the same stage as the starch. Good luck!

Welcome! I like your recipes a lot. I really like Pequi oil. As it has a somewhat butter-like texture, would it be suitable in place of Monoi oil? With Tiare and Vanilla Flowers fragrance. Thank you.

Hello, You have a video with whipped body butter on utube, where I use shea butter..there you add the oil after you take the mixture out of the fridge, here in the recipe you add it before! Is there any difference in texture?

Hello, is the starch added after the mixture is already hardened from the refrigerator?

Hi, I can't find some body butters recipes that were wonderful. The milky delight, or lemongrass and lime, enchanting. Are they no good anymore? Did you take them out for a skin protection reason? Thank you very much

Hello! You can make a body butter with the proposed ingredients, keep the dosage indicated in the recipe for the cocoa butter, possibly a little less if you want a softer butter, and instead of the quantity for the monoi oil use the proposed oils. The preparation would be as shown in the recipe, i.e. melt the cocoa butter first and then add the rest of the ingredients. Good luck!

Hi. If I wanted to make a similar butter, but with cocoa butter, coconut oil, macadamia oil and almond oil, do you think it would be ok? Also, can you please tell me what amounts I should use and when to incorporate the almond and macadamia oils? Do you put them on bain marie together with the coconut and cocoa oil, or do you add them after the coconut oil and cocoa butter melt? Thank you very much!

Hello! To get a softer butter, increase the oil by reducing the butter, or use a softer butter such as shea butter.

Hello. During winter I feel the need for a body butter that is a bit softer, creamier, more fluid. Could you please tell me what and which oil I could add to the recipe so that the butter would come out softer, creamier? Thank you very much!

Hello! You can use any essential oil or natural perfuming oil as you prefer. The dosage depends on the type of essential oil, 0.5-2 ml is generally sufficient.

Hello! Yes, sure, the proposed substitution can be made. Indeed, monoi oil is based on coconut oil.
