Azlok's Body Butter Base (Ready to Use) is a pre-formulated white cream that lets you make your own body butter without cooking, emulsifying or measuring waxes. You simply take the base, stir in your chosen fragrance, colour or skin-loving add-ins, and pack it — it is ready to spread straight from the jar.
What is a Body Butter Base?
Think of it as a finished cream that has deliberately been left plain. The hard part of skincare making — getting oils and water to blend into a stable, non-greasy emulsion — is already done for you. This base is a white, viscous liquid built around nourishing ingredients like shea butter (Butyrospermum Parkii), soybean oil, Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa) seed oil, glycerin and panthenol, with tocopherol (vitamin E) and gentle preservatives such as sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate. It is paraben free and alcohol free.
For small businesses, hobby makers and gifting, it removes the guesswork. You get a consistent texture every single batch.
Common uses
- Custom body butters — the primary use; scent and colour it your way.
- After-shower moisturiser for dry arms, legs, elbows and knees.
- Small-batch retail products — private-label body butters for your brand.
- Personalised gifts — festive hampers, wedding favours and return gifts.
How to use it
Because the base is ready to use, the workflow is short:
- Weigh out the quantity of base you need into a clean, sanitised bowl.
- Add cosmetic-grade fragrance or essential oil — usually around 0.5% to 1% of the total weight. Start small and adjust.
- If you want colour, blend in a tiny amount of cosmetic mica until even.
- Optional actives such as a little extra carrier oil can be folded in, but keep additions modest so you do not thin the texture or upset the preservation.
- Stir gently but thoroughly, then transfer into airtight jars.
Keep everything clean. Sanitise jars, spatulas and bowls before you begin, and avoid introducing water into the mix, as that can shorten shelf life.
Tips and safety notes
- This product is for external use only. Do not ingest it.
- Always do a patch test on a small area of skin before wider use, especially after adding fragrance or actives.
- Note that the base contains soybean and Brazil nut oils — relevant if you or your customers have nut or soy sensitivities.
- Add fragrance sparingly. Overdosing scent can irritate skin and does not improve the product.
- Keep away from children when working with raw materials.
- Label your finished jars with the date made and ingredients if you are selling or gifting.
Buying and storage

Once you have added your own ingredients, use your finished body butter within a reasonable time and watch for any change in smell, colour or texture.
