easy and simple recipe looking foward to try it I have rosasse too. I agree essentiel oil for face is triky and very very low %. for sent is better water flower
Absolutely gorgeous lotion, I really want to try to make it, however, I only have optiphen preservative. Can I make this face lotion using optiphen. Thanks in advance ❤
Hello❤ thanks for watching! While many use Optiphen without incident, it does have a rating of 3 to 5 on EWG.org Skin Deep database for allergies and immunotoxicity and has restricted usage due to this. It is also said by some manufacturers that it can burn around the eye area and is not to be used around the mouth due to possibility of ingestion. Some folks also say it has separated their emulsions after adding it to their formulas. Again, others have used without any problems. I personally would not use it in a face lotion. If you choose to use it just be sure to use according to manufacturer’s guidelines. Hope this helps😊
Beautiful lotion, going to try making it. Question can I use germal plus as preservative. Would it be the 2 grams. Will this lotion be able to use in a pump. Thank you so much Sorry before I forget do we have to measure the ph in lotions?
Thanks for watching🙏While I always opt for natural and Ecocert approved ingredients, I think using Germall plus is ok. It’s safe for the face, paraben free and a broad spectrum preservative, meaning it covers all the bacteria;mold, fungus and other microbes. All the things we don’t want in our products and especially on our face! I would always say use a preservative rather than not because not using one can cause more problems, in my opinion. Just be sure it is safe for the face (which Germall plus is) and use according to the manufacturer’s guidelines/rates of usage. In terms of pH- testing- yes, I forgot to add that in the video. I usually test my products to show they are balanced and I did not do that on this one so I apologize. But to test it, you would take a test strip (can purchase on Amazon) and dip it into the lotion and wipe it off then read the level on the chart. If using a pH meter use 10% lotion to 90% distilled water, (1g lotion/9g water) and your meter will give you the reading after 10-20 seconds in the solution. You want the pH to be between 4.5-5.5. Hope this helps😊
Also, you would use according to percentage recommendations from supplier. This lotion is somewhat dense, but I think it would work fine in a pump dispenser as well. Just be aware it does thicken up a bit after it sits. Hope this helps😊
@@SherrisHeavenlyApothecary- yes, you listed this as a cream, not a lotion. I never understand 27:09 why people don’t think for themselves, and expect someone else to do all their easily carried out research for them 🤔 💜
So thankful to find this. I can't wait to make it.
Welcome and thanks for watching!

You're welcome 😊
Thank you for your video . I really want to try it. Can I use emulsifying wax ( cetearyl alcohol/PEG-20 Stearate) ?
Thank you. Yes, absolutely!

Optiphen is not natural but safe tand is broad spetum prevervative. Allergie can also happen with natural product (example neroli water).

Va rog sa mi spuneti cu ce pot inlocui RitaSCG ? Emulsifiantul de masline este bun?
You can certainly swap out any emulsifying wax you’d like. I haven’t used Olivem so I can’t speak to how it would perform. I’m sure it would be fine😊
@@SherrisHeavenlyApothecary Multumesc mult !
