Did you believe any of these myths?
Not really. I use common sense. Like heating. Holding for x amount of time. I could not get that to make sense. It, to me, took up time creating waisted time.
Your explanation on lower molecular weight hylauranic acid helped so much. I can get it to work on my skin... Plus now add it to lotions/creams. Thanks Marie. You are a true great find.
I do need help with bubbling shower gel. And pls remember, ppl do not gift products to me. So making them hard to find sometimes.
Have great day.
Hi, I have been making lotion for only a short time now and I am having a hard time trying to figure out why my lotion leaves a white “cast” on my skin and it takes forever for it to soak into the skin and disappear.. What is causing this and any thoughts on how I can rectify it.
I just found ur channel and it’s awesome! There’s so much information and I’m super excited to start binge watching! Lol
Thank you! 💝
@@kajbathandbodyllc4318 it is called the soaping effect. It is often a result of the type or amount of emulsifier you are using. Some (most) contain surfactants that can cause that white cast as you rub the lotion or cream into the skin. There are lots of articles out there on how to fix or change this characteristic in your products.
Ive wondered about an immersion blender being necessary but never could find scientific or detailed reasons why. Thank you for sharing your knowledge on the matter.
Ive never believed in heat and hold. The reasons ive seen others give for doing it, just never seemed to make sense to me scientifically. My boyfriend is a mechanical engineer, he has several degrees and took loads of math and science classes. So when i came across what seemed like the 100th post about heating and holding, i asked him. He confirmed, i was correct, that its not really necessary. And now you have confirmed that too, i feel a little more confident in my own knowledge paired with common sense
Yes
Your website is slowly becoming a real full course in natural cosmetics, Marie. Not just a collection of recipes, but a really well-founded training, and completely free! I have learned so much from you already. Very grateful.
Lotions and CP soaps are my two favorite products I love to make! And might I add I make the BEST calamine lotion around!
I could never say enough how grateful I am to you for sharing your knowledge, expertise, opinions and heaps and heaps of priceless information on your website in the encyclopedia and partner blog posts etc. The links you share, the instructions…. THANK YOU TRULY❣️ I appreciate every single word and detail ☮️💟☮️💟
Alll awesome info, Marie! That high glycerine formulation will probably be a life saver in this Calgary dry climate lol. Going to give it a try!
I love learning! Thank you ☺️
I’m still working n the beginning & it’s 3-4 years into my business. Feeling like a beginner is the best place to be, willing to be a sponge & absorb
Thank you Marie for all these information you share with us. Your blog posts and videos are still my go to place when I'm looking for formula inspiration.
I made my 1st hair conditioner.. yay.. I am always shocked when it works. I got heavy with btms 50. Thick... Added water.. it's CONDITIONER. NOW ADD A FRAGRANCE NEXT TIME. BOTTLE IT. LABLE IT. ADD THIS TO MY GIFT BASKETS.
Awesome!
I made my first emulsion with your guide. I failed couple times but now i can do better thanks to you..
Thank you so much for your channel! I learned so much and feel so confident when making things for my family
I'm so glad! ❤️ Thanks for watching!
You are the my go to person for any lotion, cream or body butter related puzzles out here on TH-cam 🤗❤️
❤️
Wow..so many information to try our lotion to coming .. thank you so much
My pleasure 😊
Don't forget to check out my blog (humblebeeandme.com) as well-I've been blogging since 2011 while I’ve only been on TH-cam since about 2016, so there are a lot more formulations on the blog. The blog is also where my ingredient encyclopedia and FAQ live, and they're both packed with tons of super-helpful information ❤️ Happy making!
Another amazing bubble of knowledge and experience! Thank you :)
I would honestly love for you to release another book - sort of printing your blog - would be exactly what I'm looking for ;)
I would buy that with the recipes
It was so good you are best ,lady 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Thanks for being our formulator myth buster! great video.
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much, greattttttttttttt as always 😄😄♥️♥️♥️♥️
You're welcome 😊
This video was very helpful! Thank you😊
What are your thoughts about using the microwave to heat the oil phase?
I say more like thousands of emulsions 😁🥰
Thank you for every single one Marie🥰
Can't tell you how much I love this. When I first started making lotion, I think the recipe was from The Sage, and required no heat and hold stage (myth 3). I made it, pouring boiling water over the ingredients that needed melting and using emulsifying wax NF, and it worked fine (by the time everything is melted, its generally at about the right temp to blend). Tweaked it over the years and it still works fine. Then started digging deeper and some sites made it sound like you were going to rip the fabric of space-time if you didn't heat and hold. I STILL don't, and my base recipe is a 2000 gram batch. It also contains about 7% glycerin (myth 4) and I love it.
Your early lotion making sounds a lot like mine! It's amazing how forgiving Emulsifying Wax NF is 😄 I remember doing further reading after a few years of working in my somewhat unconventional-but-works way and wondering about that space-time fabric, too 😝
Definitely I needed this ..
Could you please give advices how to avoid air bubbles traped in lotion?
Bubbles are from blending in air as you mix; take care to keep the blender submerged completely and try to stop blending and switch to gentle stirring before the mixture gets too thick. Happy making!
First of all.. Your hair! I couldn't get my eyes off your hair! I dont know why i am obsessing with your hair 😍 the glycerin myth are the one i am struggling with😂 now i ve tried to slowly increasing the percentage
I made lotion first time but it turned out cream consistency didn't understand what went wrong but after this vedio it's easy for me to understand. Thank you so much 💓
Myth #3 .... thank you. Awesome video.
You’re welcome 😊 May your emulsions all be wonderful and a wee bit easier to make ❤️
@@HumblebeeAndMe with you always sharing everything comes out perfectly!
Thank you! I am going to try more glycerin in my lotion.
I hope you like it! Thanks for DIYing with me, and happy making :)
30% glycerine that would only be good on winter climate. I highly suggest to use propaneidol, a humectant without any stickiness.
I’m using a magnetic stirrer for the initial emulation stage - I’m not sure it’s okay but it’s what Ive been doing lol.
Right !
Thank you for clearing these things up. I do recall doing a bit of research/reading early on, in my journey that the 180° hold is for unrefined oils and butters, that's unnecessary?
Totally unnecessary :)
I made a goldenrod infused oil and magnesium brine arthritic cream in the fall. I used beeswax and boron to make my arthritic cream. I had no recipe to follow and just winged it. The arthritic cream turned out well (I put some on my right knee today and now my knee does not hurt) but I would like to learn the correct way to make to make a beeswax and boron cream. Can you tell me where I can find that information? It was a happy accident that cream turned out so well.
Using hand lotions /creams with glicerine is a bit tricky..... As long the temperature outside is below 24°C, it's awesome.... Above it, it gets horribly tacky 😐
Thx again for a wonderful and informative vid
❤️🤗
Thanks for watching! I think humidity must play a role as well as I have no issues above 24°C, but it's very dry here :)
Dont use glycerine, it is very sticky, better use propaneidol it is a humectant minus the stickiness
My peeps don't like heavy oily feel in lotions. I add few grains bees wax. Plus B 5.. vola .. removes greasy feeling
Yeah that oil into water as a must! I was like huh?????
Hi Marie. I am enjoying my new subscription to your channel. I'd like to get your opinion on the use of PEGs, Amines (MEA, DEA, TEA) and alcohols in DIYs or commercial skin care products. A known youtuber recently made a video cautioning against these chemicals since, he believes, they cause skin irritation, dryness and therefore accelerate the appearance of aging signs. I was planning on making a DIY lotion using PEG but now I am confused. Your thoughts? Thanks
Hi! The concern usually brought up in regard PEGs is the potential contamination with 1,4-dioxane. 1,4-dioxane is NOT an ingredient in PEGs. Think of it a bit like M. bovis (a bacterial species of the M. tuberculosis complex); this is not an ingredient in milk, it's a potential contaminant, and steps are taken to reduce that contaminant, which is why we generally do not worry about contracting tuberculosis from milk anymore.
1,4-dioxane a well-known potential contaminant, and the industry works hard to reduce that contamination as much as possible. This is true for a lot of ingredients, and is one reason why the grade of an ingredient is important. For example, the allowable concentrations for mercury and lead in iron oxides is much lower in cosmetic grade iron oxides than in industrial grade.
There's more information here (www.cosmeticsinfo.org/ingredients/14-dioxane/) that includes discussion on concentration and dosage-something a lot of websites don't discuss, which is crazy when dose is critically important when determining whether or not an ingredient is unsafe.
The European Commission Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety concluded "1,4-dioxane amounts in cosmetic products are considered safe for consumers at trace levels of ≤10 ppm". The Glyceryl Stearate (and) PEG-100 Stearate sold by Lotion Crafter is declared to comply with this-and on top of that, you wouldn't be applying that ingredient directly to the skin, so anything you'd actually encounter would be even less concentrated.
In short, I am not worried about PEGs :)
I'm not terribly worried about amines or alcohols, either. "Alcohols" is a much larger category of ingredients than is usually represented in content telling people to avoid it. Amines are usually used at very low concentrations.
@@HumblebeeAndMe thank you 🙏
LisaLise's link in your blog has brought to my awareness that lanolin, lanolin alcohol specifically, can be used quite successfully as an emulsifier (apparently both W/O & O/W under certain conditions) aaaaand now I'm on the hunt for lanolin alcohol to play with. Have you come across any vendors???
[So THAT'S why lanolin alcohol is listed 3rd in Aquaphor Baby; I assumed it was just emollient/occlusive but it never made sense with the 41% petrolatum & all...]
I'm afraid not, sorry!
Hey. Which preservatives are safe for use in kids lotion?
It depends on the age of the child; I haven't seen any restrictions below the age of 3. I've noted the restrictions I've found on this page: www.humblebeeandme.com/preservatives/. Happy making!
You should start a podcast
I would need a clone 🙈😄
The 30% glycerin made me so sticky I turned into spiderman.
That sounds like it might have some advantages in certain situations 🤔😝
Haha glycerin is very sticky, use propaneidol a humectant without any stickiness
Do I need a microscope for making products? I am thinking about making some for people, but I do want to be able to tell when a product expires. If I use preservatives, will I need a microscope?
No quite honestly I don't believe the myths. My personal formula's come out pretty fabulous all the time.
Dear Humblebee I’m sorry you are too fast to to do all the things that I couldn’t following your recipe 🧑💻
Hi! You can find the written formulation in two places :)
The first place is in the description box below the video. This is simply the ingredient list and quantities. If you're not sure what the description box is, please read this: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/whats-the-description-box-on-youtube/.
