I'm so grateful for this video! I made this tonight and I heated and held and combined and mixed for a minute and then set my timer to cool for 10 minutes. But before the 10 min was up I looked and saw the separation at the bottom and freaked out and began to stick blend like mad bc I thought it was ruined and I had made 250 mls! I think I have sonething down pat and boom! It's 2 steps backwards. But I'm lovin' the journey and I love your blog and videos. **EDITED by SL: It actually wasn't this recipe this time, I copied some percentages of sodium lactate etc. 😊 However, when I woke up this morning I was So disappointed bc it had separated!
I love the fact that you’re sharing your formula botanica coursework. I have wanted to obtain this degree for a year but just didn’t have capital to invest! Thank you for these vicarious sneak peeks lol
Marie, I have been silent about my appreciation of you for too long! Well...I actually am far from silent about you to my community! But want YOU to know how fun you are to watch. I have purchased bits to begin creating....THIS makes me REALLY want to "play"!! Yummy sounding...in every way!
FYI plastic ziptop bags like you might use to make a piping bag are totally safe to wash on the top shelf of your dishwasher. Just open it up and spread the zipper around the tines in the washer. If you have trouble getting syringes or you'd like more control over the tip size.
Hi…thank you for all these recipes. I’m having so much fun trying them! I do have a question…why on some recipes do you test PH but not on all that go on skin?
This came out wonderfully! I made the HA stock this morning the lotion this afternoon. I substituted bergamot (Bergaptene free of course)and added rose absolute. I also used NF wax as I don't have Olivem 1000. ( I hope to get some soon. ) I tested it on my daughters and they loved it. The smell is amazing. Thank you for this recipe. A little goes a long way so this should last a bit.
I really enjoy your DIYs 🤗 They're so informative and so pleasant to watch! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I'm venturing into making my own skincare products- from soaps to lotions and I'm super excited to see what lays ahead of me in this journey. I'm excited to learn more and for myself development! Thanks again so much! I truly appreciate this. I look forward to watching more of your DIYs! God bless!🌺💛
Thanks so much! 😊 Don't forget to check out my blog (humblebeeandme.com)-I've been blogging since 2011 while I’ve only been on UA-cam since about 2016, so there is TONS more content on the blog!
I made this lavender lemon lotion recently (www.humblebeeandme.com/lightweight-french-lavender-hand-lotion/) and I certainly can't stop you from putting it on your pubes 🤷🏻♀️ I won't be doing anything that dedicated, though.
You could replace 10-20% of the water with aloe vera juice; I would not recommend replacing all the water as this presents both a preservation challenge and adds quite a lot of electrolytes to the recipe, which may cause it not to thicken.
Just made this one.... No words! 🥰 It's just wonderful! I didn't even had problems in the first blend, all went through smoothly and perfect! Thanks for sharing, Marie! Could urea be added in this recipe?
So, I just saw you using the syringe and I thought maybe it could be used as a permanent container? As an air-tight container but cheaper and reusable? I also hate having to throw away single use stuff. Of course it wouldn't look as cute, and wouldn't travel well at all, but for home? What do you think? I would also love to know your opinion on hialuronic acid and air humidity. I've read that it pulls water from the skin if the air is dry. I live in central Spain, so that would be a big concern. I've been looking for papers that would talk about specific air humidity thresholds but haven't found any. Thanks so much, Marie! I don't think I've ever commented, but I've been enjoying reading/watching you for years now!
Sadly this is an awful idea, and I know because I've tried it 😂 You can't turn off the dispensing, so the syringe is constantly leaking lotion, which means you have to store the syringe in something else, and then the lotion dries out. Dispensing is also very unpredictable, as I discovered when I tried to squirt out a wee bit of lotion and splattered my carpet and walls with it. Just use a proper container :P HA (and other humectants) are always applied WITH water. They then help hold that water to the skin. I wouldn't apply pure glycerin to my skin (for many reasons-stiiiiiiicky), but as part of a formula they help improve the performance of the formula.
You absolutely cannot do this-please read this: www.humblebeeandme.com/why-homemade-sunscreen-is-never-a-good-idea/. Put on a proper sunscreen after this lotion has absorbed :)
Hey! You'll find the answers you're looking for in the Humblebee & Me Encyclopedia at www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia. Simply look up the ingredient(s) in question to learn about why they're used in formulas, substitutions, what they do, usage rates, and more. Happy making!
Wow!! Thanks so much!! The video is awesome but the blog just throws everything together nicely 😁 is this cream safe for pregnant women because of the hyaluronic acid? I read that maybe it should be avoided during pregnancy but I’m not sure 🤔
HA naturally occurs in the body (so you've already got a lot, and the fetus likely has some kicking around in it as well) and all the studies I've found say it is incredibly safe and non-irritating, so I can't see why not, though I am definitely not a doctor!
hi marie, great video and recipe once again! cant wait for you to complete your formula botanica course and hear your experience. glad youre using olivem1000 as thats whats accessible for me but have never seen you use it so its nice to know youve tried and love it. im curious about deodorants, i see that you have some recipes on your blog but not very recent so im wondering if theres going to be an updated one. also, if you were to choose between shea and mango butter, which would it be? would you include cocoa butter as well? apologies for the long comment! i love your channel and blog so much, gives me inspirations to diy! (: ♡
Hey! I'm currently experimenting with baking soda free deodorants... no successes so far, sadly. I'd probably choose mango butter over shea for skin care as it absorbs faster, but I love shea in soap! Cocoa butter is a 100% must for me... mostly because of the delicious scent 😄
Thank you so much. Created an eye gel a while back rhis will be a great companion. Would you think it would work with hibiscus tea instead of the hyrosol. Im cureectly addicted to hibiscus in my skincare love what it does for my skin.
How lovely! I'd probably try to use a cosmetic hibiscus extract or hydrosol rather than a homemade water infusion as those are quite prone to spoilage :)
Hi Marie, Hope you are doing well. Could you please help how the soaping effect of Olivem 1000 be reduced or finished. Someone asked this question and you requested to watch your video on insta. Unfortunately I couldn't find that video.
Hey Marie! I'm making the Conditioner bar recipe you posted. Is this safe for use with Dogs? We've made a soap bar for him and it works amazingly well. Just wanted to see if the same could work for a conditioner bar? Great episode once again!
I don't feel qualified to comment on using conditioner on dogs, but I would encourage you not to use soap on dogs. I've written more on that here: www.humblebeeandme.com/lotties-dog-shampoo-bar/
Hello Bee ! Love your videos I don't see any videos on rose extract or on any other plant . Are you going to do a video on it ? Withal the fresh flowers ans herbs it would be lovely to learn how to make extracts, thank you Marlyne Strehlau
Love your videos~I just subscribed your channel. Which preservative you would prefer to use in the facial lotion or cream? Germall vs Phenonip? Also, can I skip the distilled water and replace with only aloe vera juice or hydrosol? Thank you!
I like liquid germall plus; it is water soluble, which you want as water is the part of the formulation where microbial spoilage pops up, and it is harder to inactivate with emulsifiers like polysorbates. I don't recommend making things with entirely aloe/hydrosols: it presents a larger preservation challenge. That much hydrosol is likely to be overwhelming, scent-wise, and that much aloe may cause viscosity issues due to the electrolyte content.
Hi marie can you plz upload a video using liquid vitamin c for making skin care products. I have one orange flavoured liquid vitamin c how can I use it for beauty products
Hey! If something is flavoured I can guarantee it is not something you should use in skincare products-that sounds like food, not a cosmetic grade ingredient at all, and our stomachs and skin have very different needs! Vitamin C is quite a difficult ingredient to formulate with as it's very unstable; here's a good formula that will give you an idea of the requirements: theacidqueenblog.com/2016/01/12/fun-with-diy-skinceuticals-dupe-vitamin-c-tutorial/.
hey Marie here in Egypt it's not easy to get some of the ingredients and it makes me sad that I can't do the recipe. it's neither online nor in stores. so what I'm asking is could you please point what ingredients I can totally skip without ruining the recipe?
You can always check the substitutions list. For a lotion you can also refer to my basic "how to make a lotion" video to get an idea of what a very bare-bones lotion recipe looks like, but if you take out 60% of the ingredients you aren't so much ruining the recipe as just not making it anymore. It's sort of like asking for any everything pizza and then asking that all the toppings but the cheese be held back-it's still a pizza, but it's definitely not an everything pizza!
H Marie, I can't find this information anywhere on google. But does Hyaluronic acid need to be at a certain ph to be bioavailable? And does it alter the Ph of the moisturiser? Or can you just treat it like glycerine for example and add it without too much thought about PH. Thanks :)
I've never seen cosmetic grade panthenol sold as "Pantothenic Acid", though both are names for vitamin B5, which makes me wonder if you may have a food grade supplement? What you want is D,L-Panthenol, as "The human body readily absorbs DL-Panthenol through the skin and it rapidly converts D-Panthenol to Pantothenic Acid" (www.lotioncrafter.com/dl_panthenol.html).
I share a ton of information on substitutions in the Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/) :) You might also find this interesting: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/why-dont-you-only-use-ingredients-that-are-easily-available-globally/. Happy making!
How do thry thicken without any wax or anything else.. I have been doing my first cream yesterday and even though o used cetheryl alcohol it didn't thicken then i have increased the amount is wax it become thick but a bit waxy though.. I got no idea what makes them to thicken.. I looked at your other recipe for face cream and can't see any thickening agents.. it's some kind of mystery
I've got a couple FAQs on this :) www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/how-can-i-make-this-thicker-harder-firmer/ & www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/lotion-either-thick-thin-didnt-emulsify/
Hai mam... I’m getting problem with olivem 1000. Water and oil phase is separating.i don’t know why it’s coming like that.only little amount is emulsified and became lotion.some water is remaining like that.i measured exactly same percentage what you mentioned.🙄.i mixed when both water and oils are @ same temperature only.please solve my issue
The first thing I'd check is if your Olivem 1000 is actually Olivem 1000-there's an entire line of Olivem products, so if yours is 900 or 300 or something that would be problematic. What's the INCI of what you have?
You must use hydrolyzed silk, but the two things are not exclusive. I used hydrolyzed silk peptides; the "hydrolyzed" part indicates the product is water soluble. That is very important! The "peptide" part is related to the size of the particle.
omg i love this recipe for summer! i doesn't make sweat like crazy ! btw is there a way to make one of those gel-like korean lip tints? i already make your gloss recipe but i would like to make something more like a gel that leaves a stain ( kindoff )
I have olivem 300 that I purchased for another recipe of yours would this work in this recipe? I have so many surfactants and emulsifiers that I have bought and only used for one recipe that I’m becoming overcrowded with them and nothing to do with them! I have no idea what to do with olivem 300 if not using it here.
As a general rule of thumb, you can never use Olivem300 for Olive1000 or vice-versa; they're SUPER different and do totally different jobs. I do have probably at least a dozen recipes using Olivem300, though. Here's two: www.humblebeeandme.com/luminous-summer-body-oil/ & www.humblebeeandme.com/gentle-eye-makeup-remover/.
@@HumblebeeAndMe I also want to request you to write why a particular ingredient is used in the recipe and what is the alternative for the same. Because in some places few might not be easily available. Love from India
I don’t know if you have researched essential oils, I tend to use when ever possible Young Living essential oils, they are seed to seal. I know where they come from and how they are distilled. A person can actually go to one of the farms and work it from planting to distillation. These oils are as pure as you can get! young Living owns the different farms in the US and outside the US.
In order for pyramid schemes company to rope you into paying 300% of normal products cost, they have to tell you something that other companies do not do or justifying their cost by telling you other competitors are unethical..... but by the end of the day you made your choice and Marie made hers.
There is a huge, huge difference between a pyramid scheme and multi-level marketing. YL is an MLM company. Not playing devils advocate or anything like that here at all... I hate MLM companies including YL.
I have, and I avoid MLMs at all costs. I find the business models of MLMs to be incredibly distasteful, and in the world of EOs + MLMs there tends to be a ton of potentially dangerous misinformation spread by the "independent consultants", or whatever they're calling the salespeople these days. The only essential oil companies that encourage the ingestion of EOs are MLMs, and that's a huge red flag for me, along with the overzealous marketing of them as heal-all, do-all miracle products. Young Living is far from the only company that is aware of its supply chain. Companies like New Directions Aromatics and Plant Therapy are also extremely diligent with their sourcing, they provide SDS and Certificates of Analysis for all their oils, batch by batch, and they manage to do it for a fraction of the cost because there aren't dozens of people taking their cut between the customer and the producer. Not to mention, Dr. Pappas at the Essential Oil University has found they are NOT always "as pure as you can get". A mass spec does not lie. utahstories.com/2014/08/damning-evidence-that-young-living-and-doterras-essential-oils-are-adulterated/ essentialoils.org/news/eo_myths facebook.com/EssentialOilUniversity/posts/10155848352083083 facebook.com/EssentialOilUniversity/posts/537464806264198 So... yeah. I'd encourage you to branch out and step away from MLMs. Their products are nothing special, except for in the price department, where they are especially over priced.
I love how thoroughly you scrape the beakers!
Waste not, want not, also... less dishes 😝
The excitement in your voice while describing the scent is delightful!
Thanks so much! ❤️
Agree👌🏻
Will you be make a book on lotions, butters and shampoo as a companion to the make it up book.
Patricia Mesa That would be awesome! 👍 I'd buy that book too!
and/or lotions for beginners course
Patricia Mesa I would definitely buy that book also!
That sure would be a doozy of a book 🤔 I'm concerned about a publisher being scared off by a $300 starter shopping list.
Humblebee & Me
Yeah but do it in sections and it may not look so expensive. It was a thought anyway 😁
Lovely. Lots of products to source but i’m sure really worth it. You are a great teacher miss. 🌸💕

Hello Marie! Could I use montanov 68 instead of Olivem? Thanks! Greetings from Chile!
Could you please do a moisturizing lotion for pubic hair with a honey lavender or lemon scent? PLEASE.

Can I use fresh aloe vera juice in the lotion?
You are so awesome.

Can I use any olive oil emulsifier?
In what percentage??

Can the distilled water be substituted with aloe vera juice?
You could replace 10-20% of the water with aloe vera juice; I would not recommend replacing all the water as this presents both a preservation challenge and adds quite a lot of electrolytes to the recipe, which may cause it not to thicken.

Just a quick query, what type of liquid extracts you use in cooled down phase in your recipes, are they water soluble or oil soluble?
So, I just saw you using the syringe and I thought maybe it could be used as a permanent container? As an air-tight container but cheaper and reusable?

Can I use silk peptides for the hydralized silk?
You must use hydrolyzed silk, but the two things are not exclusive. I used hydrolyzed silk peptides; the "hydrolyzed" part indicates the product is water soluble. That is very important! The "peptide" part is related to the size of the particle.
Could I use safflower oil instead of the argan oil
Yes!
Where is the mixer actually from?! I’ve been looking for ever. The one that you linked isn’t the same one.
It was from Lotion Crafter, but they discontinued it.
@@HumblebeeAndMe What do you recommend instead? I keep searching online and coming up with milk frothers. Will those work?
I found my formula to be grainy. Would tgat be the silk??
Is your silk hydrolyzed? It can't just be silk, it needs to be hydrolyzed silk, or it won't dissolve (and then it would be grainy).
I am interest in purchasing PH checker. Could you tell me a name or place to purchase. I am new but would like to do it right.
Mine is made by Apera: amzn.to/2XrKvrd :)
omg i love this recipe for summer! i doesn't make sweat like crazy ! btw is there a way to make one of those gel-like korean lip tints? i already make your gloss recipe but i would like to make something more like a gel that leaves a stain ( kindoff )
I love the idea of a gel lip tint! I will keep it in mind for future projects :) Thanks for the idea!
I have olivem 300 that I purchased for another recipe of yours would this work in this recipe? I have so many surfactants and emulsifiers that I have bought and only used for one recipe that I’m becoming overcrowded with them and nothing to do with them! I have no idea what to do with olivem 300 if not using it here.
DebbiAnn2 she says in the video that olivem 300 would not work
Laura Kang thank you,I listened very closely and didn’t catch that.
As a general rule of thumb, you can never use Olivem300 for Olive1000 or vice-versa; they're SUPER different and do totally different jobs. I do have probably at least a dozen recipes using Olivem300, though. Here's two: www.humblebeeandme.com/luminous-summer-body-oil/ & www.humblebeeandme.com/gentle-eye-makeup-remover/.
Humblebee & Me Thank you so much! I will purchase the olivem 1000. I really want to make this lotion! I appreciate what you do,thanks again. 😊
You can use a different emulsifier other than olivem 1000. I did it as she suggested in the substitutions and it turned out wonderful as usual.
Can we use this lotion in summers as well?
Yes, definitely.
@@HumblebeeAndMe Thank you
@@HumblebeeAndMe Can you share a basic face cream and hand & body lotion recipe which can be made with few ingredients and moisturizes the skin
@@HumblebeeAndMe I also want to request you to write why a particular ingredient is used in the recipe and what is the alternative for the same. Because in some places few might not be easily available. Love from India
Please refer to the blog for all this sort of information and over a thousand recipes!
Where did she get the bottle ?
Everything is linked in the blog post!
Your face is beautiful
Thanks for watching!
I don’t know if you have researched essential oils, I tend to use when ever possible Young Living essential oils, they are seed to seal. I know where they come from and how they are distilled. A person can actually go to one of the farms and work it from planting to distillation. These oils are as pure as you can get! young Living owns the different farms in the US and outside the US.
In order for pyramid schemes company to rope you into paying 300% of normal products cost, they have to tell you something that other companies do not do or justifying their cost by telling you other competitors are unethical..... but by the end of the day you made your choice and Marie made hers.
This is not an accurate statement. At all.
There is a huge, huge difference between a pyramid scheme and multi-level marketing. YL is an MLM company. Not playing devils advocate or anything like that here at all... I hate MLM companies including YL.
I have, and I avoid MLMs at all costs. I find the business models of MLMs to be incredibly distasteful, and in the world of EOs + MLMs there tends to be a ton of potentially dangerous misinformation spread by the "independent consultants", or whatever they're calling the salespeople these days. The only essential oil companies that encourage the ingestion of EOs are MLMs, and that's a huge red flag for me, along with the overzealous marketing of them as heal-all, do-all miracle products.
Young Living is far from the only company that is aware of its supply chain. Companies like New Directions Aromatics and Plant Therapy are also extremely diligent with their sourcing, they provide SDS and Certificates of Analysis for all their oils, batch by batch, and they manage to do it for a fraction of the cost because there aren't dozens of people taking their cut between the customer and the producer.
Not to mention, Dr. Pappas at the Essential Oil University has found they are NOT always "as pure as you can get". A mass spec does not lie.

So... yeah. I'd encourage you to branch out and step away from MLMs. Their products are nothing special, except for in the price department, where they are especially over priced.
@@HumblebeeAndMe I'm with you sista! I love NDA's products and stand by their quality. Love your videos and recipes!
