- Herbalism Basics 6 - How To Make A Cream.
This is one of a series of 6 TH-cam videos explaining the basic principals of making various herbal preparations. These 6 videos are just for reference to compliment any home herbalism orientated videos I put up in the future.

Note to self
Infused oil
Herb infused preparation
50:50 ratio of water to oil
Put on double boiler to warm
Add beeswax
1 cup of oil to 1 oz of beeswax
Let it cool to room temp
Ass essential oils/tinctures (optional)
Slowly add in water preparation and whisk
This concept does work, but I adjusted the recipe to make a zinc oxide sunscreen cream. I used 1/4 cup coconut oil, 1/4 cup olive oil, 20ml beeswax pearls (just under 1oz), 20 ml water, 2 TBS zinc oxide powder. I prepared it as he showed, but I dissolved 1/4 tsp BHT crystals as a preservative during the oil warming phase. I also added a few drops of Grapefruit Seed Extract to the water phase. I mixed in the zinc oxide powder in by hand after using the electric mixer. After it cooled in the container jar it looks and feels just like any sunscreen cream on the market! You just need to experiment and try different oil to water ratios. But the beeswax does act as an emulsifier! Have fun!
I have followed your method for around 11-12 years now! And I am still using it today! I use infused oils and plant concoction. I make it fresh as we need it. I love there are no preservatives or e-waxes. Thank you, thank you, thank you!🌺🌺🌺
Ive been searching for this for so long. Not even pros could explain the truth as this man has done.
When making any kind of salves or lotions and storing them in jars, never use your fingers to remove some of that product to use on your skin. Each time you stick your finger in that jar, you are adding bacteria to the jar. Use a clean popsicle stick , spoon or other CLEAN implement to remove the cream from the container thereby reducing the chance of introducing additional bacteria to the product you have made.
Hello.
What if I want to put powdered extract of my own choice and infuse it to the cream?
I want to have a herbal cream as pure and mundane as possible so the extract's effects will be more visible
@@karebuu1383 us the powder to make and infused oil with or a tincture then add it into your ingredients.
Funny you say that because that's what I was taught growing up but people who visit always snicker about it. I feel better now lol
you all prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know of a way to get back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Kamden Gianni Instablaster =)
you should add it when the cream is cooling down (let's say around 50-40°C) but this way you can't add more than a 15% of infused oli because again you have to deal with the emulsion which you already created.. this way your formula will change in: 20% beeswax, 20% water, 45% oils to heat, 15% infused oils to add later.. the total ALWAYS must be 100%! hopefully this would help!
Note for self 1c oil: 1 oz beeswax: 1 c water (add essential oils and tincture for fun)
What oil the best use 1 oz?
whoa i just had a massive flashback of the show Art Attack from when i was a kid and now I'm super happy. Your accent and this layout is the best. 😆
Rick is the best presenter! I love how easy to understand his explanations are and the knock on effect is confidence to try them. Thanks!😁
Never change how you make your videos Rick! Love all the things you get up to :)
Thank you, Rick. Your teaching skills are clear, concise and easy to follow!
please explain the hindi 😔
Rickvanman, I love this Herbalism series of yours. I hope you will make more videos on this topic. I really love your videos. They are easy to understand, and i learn alot from them! Thank you so much!
I am into herbs big time and I thank you for you post. It makes it easy for folks to understand. Blessings and peace to you!
This actually gives me an idea for a moringa and aloe vera scalp cream to help me with my fine hair and itchy scalp. Thank you so much for the demo!
Thank you so much for teaching me these basic skills. I desperately needed these basic principles, to process my medicinal herbs into a finished product! I am so excited to learn more about this homeopathic herbal approach of living! God bless you!
This video was so helpful Rick! Thank you for sharing :)
Thank you! This video was very helpful!
Lovely lovely lovely! Thank you for sharing 🤗🙏♥️
Just tried this and it came out beautifully!
love ......love .....love it thank you sooooooo much
What a beautiful way of teaching how to make a cream, thank you so much.
Fantastic video. Yay. I feel totally encouraged now to make my own creams. I have long since been wanting to do this, but did not feel like following others that seem less professional.
I have good skin (see pic - no filters have been used) - in fact I think it is now better than it ever was, due to an intermittent fasting programme that is ayurvedic (the bodhimaya plan), and I've been doing a triple skin cleansing routine since my teens. Way ahead of ya, beauty editors!!! LOL.
At 58 years old I am very proud of my skin, but I want to maintain it using natural means in terms of moisturising creams. My biggest issue is hydration. Oils do not hydrate (hydro=water, not oil) and most of the time I end up finding a cream either gives me the oil my skin needs or the water, but not both.
I am also very concerned at the new trend to re-introduce the same products as whipped creams, which means they have merely introduced air, so you actually get less product for your money. Rip-off!!!! Time to take back control I think (!) and yaboo sucks to the cosmetic industry.
Another issue is that I recently developed an allergy to methylisothaloninone. My face went like a football overnight and I had mild breathing difficulties the next morning after using a day cream with this in. After doing online research, I have to say it's scary where this stuff lurks - Dove, Nivea, L'Oreal, you name it. They don't even need to put this stuff in! Of course this is limiting what I can buy, so this is another factor driving me to create my own products.
And while I am having a moan-fest - here is a question to all others visitors here: am I the only one who likes to buy BIG pots of cream so I have less shopping trips to do??? Why are companies allergic to selling things in larger pots? With my dry skin a pot of 250mg barely lasts me two weeks and I usually have to apply several applications every day. In terms or product miles, we need to start voting with our feet to stop companies forcing us to buy small pots, with trips into town every week to buy the bally things. And don't even talk to me about night creams!!!!
So this is my bid to make something that works for mature skin, which is deeply moisturising (hydrating) and comforting, for both day and night.
One thing: you did not mention the need to clean everything in a hot bleach and water mixture and to do the same with the stick blender, beforehand, and the need to spray your jars with alcohol before putting things into them, or you can be transferring bacteria from your hands and equipment into the cream - and some of these bacteria can blind you. The alcohol will evaporate, but it will ensure there are no bacteria present.
Sorry, don't mean to be negative... hope you understand that I mean well for everyone visiting here. :)
Look forward to more of your videos - will be watching them later today for sure! Thanks so much.
this was so darn helpful and professional, THANK YOU!!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING SO FREELY. YOU ARE A GOD SENT ❤️
I will be watching ALL your videos. God willing.
Oh-- thank you for the tips by the way .🙂 Having the chemistry explained briefly beforehand helps aim for proper ingredient targets.
You are so kind!
Excellent introductory series and thanks for all your efforts in putting this series together. Looking forward to your "remedies"
I loved your videos. Simple, well explained, and good demonstration.....I'm an herbalist now...Lol.....
Thanks for quick reply Rick. I am sure I am going to learn a lot with your help. All the best in your future and thanks again :).
I loved all your herbalism videos, I'm starting with this, and the information you present is very valuable for beginners like me, direct and easy to understand. I thank you with all my heart!🤩
Glad it was helpful!
This was excellent! You have the best informative videos on you tube.. THANKS!
Hi Rick - I drop in and out of your videos occassionally, I first came across you when you were in your "outdoor bushcrafting" phase a little while ago.
Just want to say that I am staggered by the sheer volume of vids you put out and more staggered by the fact that you have to research first a lot of the topics you present. Don't know how you find the time but well done mate...!
Fascinating series Rick!
YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!! Best video I have seen, there was another but I forget his name right now but yours is easy peasy, I sometimes have to heat my oil and water three times because it does not emulsify and then whisk it in a double bath of ice water with ice. But I like your tutorial and your inspiring images. You ROCK.
Exccelent video many thanks!!!
Thank you SO SO MUCH! I'm not into this whole herb thing, however, i now understand how lotion is made. I plan to make goat's milk lotion and this was very helpful!
Thank you for your video. I am learning bunches
I use Vitamin E as my preservative so I don't have to refrigerate mine. I end up using mine around 5 months and it's still great. I keep it by the kitchen sink. I make soap and my hands are always getting freshly made soap all over them. I have to have a really good moisturizer or my hands will be so dry you can see it! LOL. Thank you for making this so simple. Concocting can be troublesome because it can get tricky. You make it so easy I want to go try it out right now. LOL. Thanks.
Great vid, thx Rick. I'm growing calendula as a cut flower for market and as an edible flower for salads etc. The Greeks suggested that calendula was so good for you that even 'gazing at it' will give healing benefit! I shall give making a calendula cream a try. Peace out dude!
Beautifully and clearly explained!
thank you! You are a wealth of knowledge.
Thank you so much for the great work 😀
I love the recipe and your accent 💕🙏 You have a new subscriber!
Thanks for sharing this. I have made tons of creams and lotions more traditional emulsifiers but I have always read that Beeswax is not an emulsifier however; KNEW that with the right technique, it was possible because products like Burt's Bees hand creams use beeswax and no other emulsifier. It's late but I am headed to the kitchen now!!
Love this video!
Thanks really easy to follow, top quality video.
Fantastic video preparation I love it thank you for the teaching
Great video, thank you so much

I wish you make more videos I absolutely love love all the videos you made on TH-cam Thank you so much
WHAT GREAT INFORMATION!
Dear Rick,
i tried to make my own cream as soon as i've wached your cream making video and the reasult is absolutely wonderful. i've been making researces about this for a long time and this is the best solution i've ever had. i do thank you for all the info you are giving in your videos. also big thanks for the info about the greatest emulsifier "beeswax". i keep thinking how to reach "emülsifying wax" which i also thought that indispensable for cream making. it's all about whisking well.
Best info...evah. Thanks.
Great video, so easy to follow for newbies.
Hi Rick, Really enjoyed all your Herbalism TH-cam Videos and pinned them all to my Boards. I see that you eventually added a Disclaimer which is always a good idea. Thank you for sharing these educational videos. Wishing much health and happiness.
Thank you , Rick . i bought 4 sticks of Beeswax ; tomorrow i'm making your body cream recipe ... i'll use Frankincense essential oil , so , hopefully, i'll be in Frankincense Heaven ! very excited about making this . yes , Kristen is right , the opening scene of you video is very "trippy" !
So great Thank you so much!
quite helpful...thanks
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Love it!
Awesome! Thank you very much!
I love it!
Amazing videos
so glad i found these vids. very interested and so in love with gardening and herbalism. I want to learn how to make soap and pH safe fragrances
nice! very helpful info. thanks.
Best video on herbal creams I mean.
Fantastic! Can't wait to deviate from my usual cream making method, to a more herbal influenced one.
Thanks for sharing
These are really helpful videos! I bought some books on apothecary and want to start making my own preparations. It's really nice to have a visual along with the reading. Thanks!
+Lizzy's den Please tell me what books you brought ? I am trying to learn more about this. Thank you for your time
i will try it...thanks
thanks rickvanman, definitely i will try these methods to prepare my crean and also the herbal infused oils.
you're welcome! ;) on changing %: you can raise oils, but it would turn into a pomade, you have to be careful on raising water it could cause the emulsion to separate..20%beeswax could hold up to a maximum of 25% water and in this case I would use in the oils mixture a quote of coconut oil which is solid at room temperature and would help the water to be kept in the emulsion. Please note that the biggest part of active ingredients is thermolabile so if you want to add infused oils to the cream
Oh my fucking God you have no IDEA how long I've been looking for your channel!
Excellent video! Just bought a hand blender similar to yours and am dying to make some of my salve recipes into creams! I have several of my infused oils and tinctures ready to roll! I am sad to hear this is a thing of the past for you and wish you luck on whatever you do next! Thanks again!
Thank U so much .. Greetings from Egypt
Thanks Rick Brilliant job as always! Now off to my lab!! (the kitchen)
you can add vitamin e to prevent rancidity. you can also use grapefruit seed extract (GSE), rosemary essential oil, to name a few. do your research. don't take anyone's word for it.
Fantastic
really informative Video! I am doing my own medicin with natures gifts as well. I just recently made chilli balm and pubiced a little video on my tiny channel. I love this idea of spreading awareness and knoledge about the power of nature! :) thanks for doing that as well
i think you are the best
Great Video!
Your awesome god bless you.
Thsnk you so much! I was looking for a 100% natural cream that doesn't require ewax 🥰
Awesome
Thank you!
Great video!
Vitamin e is also good for extending the shelf lives of infused oils
thank you!
Hey Rick, I've loved all of your herbal videos and you have made it incredibly easy to whip up some nice, soothing lotion in just a few hours; however, I had no idea how difficult it could be get all of the melted beeswax/oil mixture cleaned up. Do you have any suggestions for helping to get it out of pans (or out of my sink?) Great videos, I'd really like to see more.
These videos are great for starters, are you still planning on doing more videos on specific herbs?
@msTmattole Thanks for the comments. I've got no immediate plans to make a video on lotions, but it sounds like it might be a good idea to see what information is out there to do it successfully. As far as I'm aware, the temp must stay as low as possible to prevent the degradation of the plant material - so just warm enough to melt the wax. It will help if all the ingredients are of similar temps. :o) Good luck with your endeavours.
Thanks a lot
this is the first video from your channel that i watched. really appreciate the knowledge shared. thanks Doc.
You can use distilled water and rose water,I make it all the time.great video
Love your channel! Just watched everything in the Herbalism playlist. Are you still involved in this type of thing? Would love to see more of your videos on this. Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing. It would be better to make the Herb into an Oil, eliminating the water altogether and giving the cream a much longer shelf life without having to put it into the frig. I couldn’t remember how to make a cream, but I find that White beeswax pellets cosmetic grade: are better for making creams. Dark jars are always the best. Thanks again!!!
