    I use beeswax as an emulsifier. It's a natural preservative, and it smells fantastic! It also makes your skin feel super soft and silky!

    • @Lovelygreens
      @Lovelygreens  ปีที่แล้ว +24

      Beeswax is neither a true emulsifier nor in any way a preservative. It will not stop your cream from molding, growing fungus, or becoming a breeding ground for bacteria.

      @@aaanita it definitely isn't an actual emulsifier, however, it can help the emulsification happen, it just doesn't make it stable. And although beeswax can't mold or go rancid itself, it doesn't protect the other oils from doing so either. Lip balm is a pretty stable formula because it is simple, there's no water, and it is pretty firm. All three things reduce the likelihood that it will go bad. So using it in lotions will not provide preservative action, or stabilize the emulsification.

    So, my question: do you think I could follow this recipe, and substitute half of the distilled water for magnesium "oil"? Most of the magnesium lotion recipes I've come across use beeswax as the emulsifier. 🙄

    • @Lovelygreens
      @Lovelygreens  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Lovely feedback - thank you :) I've not worked with Magnesium oil before, but I think you can use it that way. Make a small batch and see? Also, beeswax is not a true emulsifier. I wouldn't recommend making any recipes that say it is. Beeswax is a thickener, and any lotion-like product made with it as an "emulsifier" can sweat or separate, especially with temperature fluctuation.

    • @a1hindes
      @a1hindes 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@Lovelygreens I did give it a try and it didn't work quite as well. The only change I made was to sub half the water for the magnesium "oil." I ended up having to use my immersion blender for everything to emulsify, which made a very "whipped" consistency, but it's held now for several days without separation. I probably won't do it again. Yes, the use of beeswax as an emulsifier is usually my first clue that someone doesn't really know what they're doing with a recipe. 🙃

      Sun spots unfortunately come with a lifetime enjoying the sun. There are patches below each corner of the eye that many people get and other spots and marks. Sun damage is best treated by using a vitamin A derivative called retinol. It's not something that you can make at home, though. Staying out of the sun, using sunscreen, and nourishing your skin with chamomile and elderflower extracts can help, too.

    This was a refreshingly thorough tutorial. Thank you for sharing! I'm looking forward to your book! I LOVE the topics you'll cover. Can you elaborate on the preservative - how do we know when the lotion goes bad? Is there an obvious change in texture or smell? I skimmed through the instructions on your website but I didn't see if we just need to add enough to achieve a pH of 4.5 - 5.5 or if there is a ratio of preservative to the oil and water volume? Also, I tried to grow chamomile this summer but nothing germinated. Do you have any tips on growing it for the first time? Thanks in advance!

    Thank you, Tanya!
    Maybe you remember -maybe not 😄- that I told you a while ago that I too make my own creams and soaps etc. I’ve never bought emulsifiers from a shop, but I use lanoline (woolfat) from a shepherd. Have you ever used that? I know that some people may react to lanoline, their skin, but I’ve never met them or heard complaints.

      I’ve not used it before but hear that it’s a good water-in-oil emulsifier :)

      Lovely Greens Yes, it works well for me. I was just curious if you had any experience with it. Well, maybe worth a try, once?
      Thank you for your reply!

      I am one who reacts badly to lanolin, it causes large itchy lumps.

    Hi, love this. Can you recommend a single supplier for the emulsifying wax and geogard ultra? The link to the geogard doesn’t seem to be working and I”’m sure the postage would be cheaper to buy both from a single supplier? Many thanks.

    Omg iv been looking for the answer to this for years about the battery water it’s impossible to buy distilled water in the uk so I bought the batter water but wasn’t sure it was the right thing!

      It's weird, isn't it? :) You can buy distilled water on Amazon or eBay in the UK

    Hello My German camomile flowers didn't germinate but I have lots of greenery. It smell so nice is it OK to do something like infused oil😊

    • @Lovelygreens
      @Lovelygreens  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Though it smells nice, there are far fewer essential oils and beneficial properties in the leaves that I wouldn't use it in infused oils. Also, be aware that there are Roman chamomile varieties that do not flower. German chamomile can't help but flower and self-seed everywhere. I wonder if your plants are sick or if you're growing another variety.

    Have you considered selling seeds?
    Have not found German Chamomile anywhere, but I would really love to find some.

    I wonder if you can make the lotion from good-quality, dried chamomile flowers bought online? (It's winter here now and I don't have chamomile growing in my garden). I'm thinking of making this because I have rosacea and just read that chamomile can be good for rosacea due to its anti-inflammatory effects. I'm curious where you buy your preservative, as I can't seem to find any online. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. :)

    Many thanks for this wonderful video! Can I use optiphen or cosgard as preservative?

    • @Lovelygreens
      @Lovelygreens  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, either will work but do read the instructions for the product you're using. Amounts needed and pH may be different.
