Hi bumble bee thanks for your amazing videos! Quick question that confuses the heck out of me regarding the percentage of emulsifier at 5:03 you mentioned (1% for every 4-5% oils) however on your slide it’s says 5%/15g 🧐 I don’t understand the 15g… if the formula is 70/30 for 100g than the oil phase is 30g correct? Which means the emulsifier should be 4-5% of the 30g?which would be 30g divided by 4 or 5= 7.5g or 5g emulsifier?? I’m lost 🥺
I'm sorry but you and I went to the same school, but you Ms. Formulator have made my life so much easier. How is it that when you explain things the lights go ding ding ding and when I was in school, i had to watch the videos and try the ingredients over and over, smh. Good work young lady!
I went to several but I'm talking about Formula Botanica (still a student smh). Perry Romanowski is also an excellent chemist cosmetic formulator. @@freebird2262
Yes it was formula botanical and you can sign up for many different classes. I realized I didn’t know what I thought I knew after enrolling there, a bit expensive but worth it if your goal is to become a brand. Good Luck
You're very welcome! I'd start with the resources on this page: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/where-can-i-learn-more-about-lotion-formulation/. This video/its partner blog post are included there. I'd start with the basic formulation to get a handle on making emulsions before getting too far into the concepts in this video-though they're an excellent thing to understand as you work! You can also search "super simple" at www.humblebeeandme.com/search for quite a few super simple formulations. The posts contain lots of information about the "whys" of each type of formulation that I couldn't fit in the video. Happy making!
I'm so glad I accidentally found your channel. I've been looking for this kind of information for a very long time. I wasn't even looking for it and found what I needed. Crazy how things like that work. This may not be as interesting to everyone else but I work at JIF and one of the skills that I have learned is formulation lol. Yep, my title is actually "formulator" I'm responsible for getting the many different recipes correct and ready for mass production. My dream is to do this very same thing with my own products some day soon. Thanks again. I'm so grateful
This video has made to formulate so much like a pro.. it has open me up to unlimited formulation .. thank you so much .... Thank you so much.. I cannot thank you enough
THANK YOU! I started out making BB, which I loved and always wanted to expand into making creams/lotion! Some good experiments, and some broken emulsions😤This video has helps immensely! 😁💛
So grateful for you sharing your experience & wisdom with us!. This is a VERY useful that answered my questions about my body butter getting too stiff. Thanks again.
Your videos are absolutely wonderful. I learn something every single time I watch one. I was wondering if you are able to make a video making a rich and creamy body butter using Colloidal Oatmeal and raw honey? I was trying to formulate one that will help with Eczema. I think I may be doing something wrong.
Thanks for such an inspiring channel!! I've learned so much from you since my pandemic-induced TH-cam DIY craze. :D Especially thank you for sharing what the little glass dishes are! I've been looking all over for them. Watch glasses, now I know! TY!!
❤️ Thanks for watching! 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 totally free ingredient encyclopedia and FAQ live, and they're both packed with tons of super-helpful information ❤️ Happy making!

@@ashmodo1097 Thanks for sharing! I will take notice, I make soap with tallow :). A dump question, but do you combine the tallow with other butters and/or oils? Thanks!
@@ashmodo1097 oh that is very intriguing. Does it do a good job moisturizing? Does it feel like a film on the skin? I use only plant based oils, so I'm a bit curious. I have to wonder how heavy it might feel? So curious.

20% oil + emulsifier at 25% of the oil phase Heated water phase 67.25g | 67.25% distilled water 5g | 5% sodium lactate (USA / Canada) Heated oil phase 6.75g | 6.75% Ritamulse SCG (USA / Canada / UK / AU) 20g | 20% medium chain triglyceride I couldn't understand how to calculate the Emulsifier percentage. It states 25% of the oil phase (20%). That is 33.75%. Then I realised the emulsifier is included in the oil phase. Confusing 😮 6.75/20= 0.3375 and 6.75/26.75=0.25
Hey Marie, How do yoj sterilize bottles and plastic containers for reuse to store cosmetic products.Asking this since you mentioned about reusing one time plastic.
I would-both to keep the math the same across the board for easier comparisons, and because non-thickening emulsifiers still contain fatty emollients that impact skin feel & richess :)
@@HumblebeeAndMe If I want a very light aftershave balm, say 10% oil phase, how much BTMS-50 should I use? FYI - I did try this and the balm separated so much, I had to discard it 😢 My understanding is BTMS-50 has a thickener in it also.
Thanks for this!! Is there a guideline for making an emulsified body butter with what percentage of butters and liquid oils to use? And how much emulsifier?
I made a body cream that kind of foamed if rubbed in too fast. It performed like how a really moisturizing facial cleanser would. Did I add too much emulsifier?
Olivem 1000 suggests an oil phase of 25% (including the emulsifier). I think I'd prefer 15-20% though. Do you think that will effect the effectiveness of the emulsifier?
Hi! You'll find the answer to your question in the blog post that's linked in the description box below the video ;) If you're not sure what that means, read this: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/whats-the-description-box-on-youtube/. Happy making!
I have a hair care line hair care products Is that the same formulating hair oil if I do a lower precentage it will be a lighter oil I like light weight oil
Can you create a recipe based off of recommended percentages? What I mean is, if an emulsifier has x recommended usage %, a preservative has y % recommended usage and you know a basic recipe says oil phase is a% of recipe, can you create a recipe like that? I guess I want to be able to make my own formulations and not rely on others, but also make sure they are safe even for sensitive skin.
I’m confused on your usage range of the emulsifiers. In your non greasy hand lotion you are using 7% emulsifiers (emulsifying wax NF & Cetearyl alcohol) with 9% mid chain triglycerides. With your formulation of 4-5% oils = 1% emulsifiers there should be roughly 2% emulsifiers. Why is it more than 3 times higher than what you recommend?
Hey marrie, I have created an oil- free moisturizer for my face, I usually preserve it in the fridge, now it has crystals in it, and honestly idk where those crystals came from. What do you think?
Hello..new to formulating..is it safe to add flavoring oils to lotions, creams, and body butters..if so how much to add for a well scented ( but not over powering) product??
Marie, I hate math. I mean to say math has always been difficult for me! Sense like 3rd grade, however formulating has really changed how I think about math. Imagine this, I skipped the video on spread sheets, lol! Oh boy, now I gotta back track, lol! Because as it stands now I have to reformulate every time I make a formula upscale/downscale....anyway you get it! I think spreadsheets will help me. I just thought oh another math lecture I didn't want to listen too! Thank you for always explaining WHY all the videos are so very important to your skill level! Even though I have been formulating for 8 years on my own, there's always something to learn! Much respect for what you do for your community!

20% oil + emulsifier at 25% of the oil phase
Heated water phase
67.25g | 67.25% distilled water
5g | 5% sodium lactate (USA / Canada)
Heated oil phase
6.75g | 6.75% Ritamulse SCG (USA / Canada / UK / AU)
20g | 20% medium chain triglyceride
I couldn't understand how to calculate the Emulsifier percentage. It states 25% of the oil phase (20%). That is 33.75%. Then I realised the emulsifier is included in the oil phase. Confusing 😮
6.75/20= 0.3375 and 6.75/26.75=0.25
I rather go with the 1:4 ratio and use 5% emulsifier. 20/4 =5 and 5/20 =0.25 makes more sense to me
thank you so much
Are you including the emulsifier in the oil phase when you say 3.25% emulsifier in 25% oil? So basically 21.75% oil and 3.25% emulsifier???
Thank you Marie!!!!!!
You are so welcome! ❤️
Hi ma I love how u explain or teach
❤️ Thanks for watching!
Thank you for another really helpful video!
Glad it was helpful! ❤️
Thanks for your wonderful videos. They've been richly informative.
I have a question.
Can I juice squeezed from cucumber in place of distilled water?
I don't recommend it-that would be quite hard to preserve.
Hey Marie,
How do yoj sterilize bottles and plastic containers for reuse to store cosmetic products.Asking this since you mentioned about reusing one time plastic.
Great video!! Would you count the emulsifier if it's a non thickening one?
I would-both to keep the math the same across the board for easier comparisons, and because non-thickening emulsifiers still contain fatty emollients that impact skin feel & richess :)

If I want a very light aftershave balm, say 10% oil phase, how much BTMS-50 should I use?
FYI - I did try this and the balm separated so much, I had to discard it 😢
My understanding is BTMS-50 has a thickener in it also.
Aslamualaikum! Can you plz do formulation on hair color developer. Thanks
Hi, quick question, do i need to learn a specific course to like get a foundation if this or i can jst go and dive in withthe help of your videos.
Can i have a formula for honey conditioner with himalayan salt. I already have spf50
Thanks for this!! Is there a guideline for making an emulsified body butter with what percentage of butters and liquid oils to use? And how much emulsifier?

Depends upon the emulsifier

Hi! It will be lighter, but it won't really be a hair oil because it'll be an emulsion-so more like a cream or a conditioner :)
@@HumblebeeAndMe thank you will 30% for the first ingredients in doing light weight oil be be ok
@@HumblebeeAndMe I was meaning to say starting my first ingredient percentage of 35% will be good for my light weight oil

I guess I want to be able to make my own formulations and not rely on others, but also make sure they are safe even for sensitive skin.
That IS how you create formulations :) You'll likely want to refine some things, but that's exactly how I start!
Does the “oil” include butter too??
I’m confused on your usage range of the emulsifiers. In your non greasy hand lotion you are using 7% emulsifiers (emulsifying wax NF & Cetearyl alcohol) with 9% mid chain triglycerides. With your formulation of 4-5% oils = 1% emulsifiers there should be roughly 2% emulsifiers. Why is it more than 3 times higher than what you recommend?
Because this video is older and I learned new things between the two videos :) go with the newer recommendation!
(Also, cetearyl alcohol is not an emulsifier, it's a fatty thickener-don't include it as part of your emulsifier amount)
Hi could you do body serum same truly brand that one coloured light weight texture
I need to know if you’re using only oil for your calculations or oil and butter…..
Hi ma how can I make sunburn cream
what do you mean SCG ?
Does this work for a beard butter too?
It works for any sort of emulsion :)
can i have the recipe?😊
Hey marrie, I have created an oil- free moisturizer for my face, I usually preserve it in the fridge, now it has crystals in it, and honestly idk where those crystals came from. What do you think?
I'm afraid it's impossible to say without your full formulation in %, and even then I can't be sure I'd know.
Did you actually use an emollient of some kind? What kind of emulsifier?
But can you show how to make lightening body lotion
I've got an FAQ on this :) www.humblebeeandme.com/faq/

So emulsifiers are about 30% of the total oil phase …
No, that's more than is required for most emulsifiers. Have you read the free partner blog post yet? It's outlined more clearly there :)
