Hi, I’d like to make this product but don’t have any floral waters at the moment. Could I use in place if the chamomile water the liquid from an herbal infusion, say roast tea or green tea with pomegranate, both if which I have? Would either of these work in place of floral water please?

In reply to ELEANOR KNOESEN. Hi Eleanor, aloe vera gel is much more unstable than chamomile flower water and would spoil more easily. Unless the aloe vera gel you buy includes potassium sorbate which is a preservative.

Hi Eve, could I use Aloe vera gel instead of chamomile flower water and then use no preservative?

In reply to GB. Hi, try adding arrowroot powder so it removes the greasiness texture. Hope this helps!

I applied this butter on my hands. The hands are oily/buttery (like if I applied a regular butter or olive oil on them). This butter doesn’t penetrate into the skin. I will try to use it more. I just know if the product doesn’t go into your skin it doesn’t help.

In reply to francine. Hi francine, you can get refined coconut and cocoa butter or deodorized butter that will have no scent. But its a shame as they won't have the same properties and will be stripped of the vitamins, nutrients etc.. for your skin. But if that's the only way you can start wearing homemade butters, then do it! Its better than wearing commercial body butter full of nasty chemicals :-)
