So what I see: take the spray formula and add thickener and you get a simple serum. Take the serum and replace some water with oil part and emulsifier and you'll get a basic cream. Same ingredient, 3 formats
Thank you. Formula Botanica had a webinar a little while ago, which diminished my hesitation to formulate with niacinamide. I made a moisturizer that included niacinamide and alpha-arbutin to help with hyperpigmentation and am pleased with the results, so far.
Omg Marie i was just saying to my self next I have to make a niacinamide serum and puf here you are with recepie. Thank you for all you brilliant creativity that you share with us 😊
Formula botanica was a big bummer on the niacinamide in my final project. They counted me off for using a pH under 5.8 claiming the niacinamide doesn’t even function under this pH. They said the skin irritation is a myth. I don’t agree with them at all from my reading 🤷🏻♀️
Hello from South Africa. I love learning skincare from your channel and try out your recipes. Yesterday I made the "third formulation" face serum and it seems a little cloudy, is that ok? Also I bought hyaluronic acid in a very thick gel form (did say 1% - but it was so thick and difficult to get out of the tiny 30ml bottle that I decided to only use about 2.5g) and lastly the panthenol was also in a very thick gel like consistency in a jar. Only the niacinamide arrived in powder form. Please let me know what you think about the ingredients I used - all came from a reputable supplier who I use all the time for other ingredients for my soap making business.
I love you so much. You are beautiful. Thank you for teaching us many useful recipes. Can you please teach us how to make a whitening serum for spots with kojic acid, and also how to make a spray cream to cover body imperfections? Thank you very much, dear.
Sprays/mists are not aerosols :) Ashland, the manufacturer of Liquid Germall™ Plus, has shared several sample formulations for mists preserved with Liquid Germall™ Plus.
I love your Chanel thank,you f😊or sharing. Have you considered doing a video on how to sanitize /dry and store large quantities of cosmetic jars etc thank,you
I want to try the second formulation, vitamin b5 liquid powder, is it useful and suitable, and how do I add it to the formulation with the ratio??? Help me please 
Thank you so much for this! What would be more effective? A toner with the same % of active ingredient(s) or a serum with the same % of active ingredients? I'm debating between these 2 products and they both have the same ingredients as well as the percentages...it's just one is a serum that's thicker and the other is a spray toner that's thinner (I just pour it in my palm and apply to my face, though). But I keep hearing mixed things about the 2 and their differences but is there really a difference in effectiveness if they're basically the same ingredients and potency?
Mrs. Marie, what molecular weight HA did you use in this recipe ❓ I noticed your nice gel like stock and would like to know so that I can buy a higher weight that still absorbs effectively. I know there are many weights that have various benefits.
Fist I want to say thank you. Your videos are very informative! With that said, I wanted to create a facial spray with a hydrosol. Could I add a hydrosol to the first two formulations if I adjusted the distilled water to account for the addition of the hydrosol?
Thanks for your video. I use fragrance oil 0.01% (Used 2x Polysorbate 20) on the recipe but the smell is very hard. How can I reduce the fragrance oil smell smooth or which chemical can light/smooth the fragrance oil? Please reply. Thanks
Dear, I love your formulations, please keep it up. Dear I want to know something from the first formulations, can I spray it on my face and neck at anytime and after applying my usual organic lotion
As per your formulation 1, after preparation of niacinamide serum what would be the percentage of newly formed B3 serum? I have ordered B3 powder from BRM chemicals (online) i don't know the percentage of B3 in the powder so what should i do?
Hi Marie hope you're doing great. Can we make high molecular weight hyaluronic acid solution the same way we make low molecular weight hyaluronic acid solution? Plz plz reply.. thanks 😊
Hi Marie, great video. Also i don't have liquid Germal plus but I do have geogard ECT, will the pH be okey if I don't change anything in the formulation?
Hello! Thanks for watching ❤️ Your question is answered in section 5.1 of the free partner blog post :) www.humblebeeandme.com/easy-niacinamide-serums-for-beginners/
Hi Marie, thank you so much for this video. I made the mistake in purchasing the Gluten free Niacinamide powder (on Amazon), thinking it was cosmetic grade. After receiving it, the directions were talking about how to take it orally. My question is this, do I have to throw it out because I cannot use it to make a niacinamide toner or face cream because of it directions shown and nothing about skincare? Thank you as always for your extensive knowledge and love in helping others.
@@HumblebeeAndMe Thank you so much for responding ( I truly appreciate this feedback). I will check again per your instruction if anything was added. Stay safe. Love from Jamaica.
It's far easier to find powdered panthenol (Vitamin B5) here, but I also appreciate that it is more concentrated (usually at least 2x) so it takes up less room in my formulations :)
Hi Amy! You don't need to use the percentages; you can simply follow the gram amounts I've shared :) Otherwise, I recommend this post: www.humblebeeandme.com/formulating-and-diying-with-spreadsheets/. Happy making!
can I omit pantheon and just use niacin amide with the anthem gum and is there a different ingredient I could use instead cos I can't get most complex ingredients in my country and getting it from overseas is a little tough too!! btw love the videos
Please help..I usually use optiphen but they sent me Germall Plus..I make Emulsifying body butter.. I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how much I use in my formula. Maybe I'm just in panic mode but I need some help..
Hi! It'll depend; you can get broader substitutions in the free Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/) on panthenol (Vitamin B5). If it's one of my formulations, be sure to check the free Substitutions list I ALWAYS provide for my formulations in the free partner blog post on me website ❤️ Happy making!
@pubggaming4226 the free partner blog post is always linked in the description box below each of my videos. I highly recommend reading it every single time :) I always put an incredible amount of completely free information in them that will answer tons of questions and it’s just so helpful.
If it were me, I may have fun making a hydrosol from dried orange peels and mix it with an appropriate amount of ascorbic acid, so that I get the satisfaction of extracting the natural fruit, but also keeping the potency of pure vitamin C.
I really want to use niacinamide in my face cream but when I made one using 5% niacinamide my skin looked like it broke out all over. I have rosacea which made it even worse too. I might try again using 2%.
@@HumblebeeAndMe In fact, I made Alpha Arbutin and Niacinamide serum together, and the result was not satisfactory for some skin, as they resulted in acne. Ph was 6🤗
Recently using vit c serum what i noticed was when I stop using all pigmentation is back . Do let us know if results r permanent or temporary by using this serums ?
Basically any topicals work only temporarily- that's why even doctors suggest to have a routine skincare everyday. A simple way to explain is - vit c brightens skin complexion and naturally, if your skin is not getting the goodness of the vitamin c anymore- it does go back to a dull complexion which brings back you pigmentation(your melanin production is back in business without the vitC) Also i hope you are using your sunscreen always whether you are using your vitC or not! Hope this helps!

Vitamin B3 and B5 works on different ph so how we identify the ideal ph for the serum or cleanser or even cream
?

Hi dear.
Can we combine niacinamide and salicylic acid in the same formula? which pH will use in this case?

According to anything i have read, you are not supposed to use germall plus in an aerosol? Is a spray top not classified as an aerosol?
Thx 👍
Sprays/mists are not aerosols :) Ashland, the manufacturer of Liquid Germall™ Plus, has shared several sample formulations for mists preserved with Liquid Germall™ Plus.

So awesome 😎 thank you.

I'm not sure what you're asking?
Are these good for every type of skin or only for oily skin?
Could I use montanov instead of germal plus? And is the same amount?
Do these formulations leave powdery residue on the skin due to so many solid powdery ingredients?
Thank you so much for this! What would be more effective? A toner with the same % of active ingredient(s) or a serum with the same % of active ingredients?
