You are asking for a lot of free info. What have you researched on your own yet?

If you had some specific question you might get more helpful responses.

Actually the best inspiration is to see what other successful brands do. Go to thebodyshop’s website and check their body butters. You don’t have to copy what they do but you can get inspired and make your own.

I have researched on body butters and mostly the formulation is:
Shea butter 25%
Mango butter 10%
Sunflower oil 60%
Beeswax 5%
E-oils qsI want to bring in sensory element (BASF pillow talk), smooth spread without drag..thats why I got some cetiol sensoft. The Cosmedia ACE as an emulsifier if I wanted to add some aqua based extracts, also a good thickener. My target is to achieve 98% organic claims.

So, with my available ingredients, how can i achieve this. -
To make a 98% organic claim, you’ll need to get certified by the USDA.
