Hi Marie.
I always use Glyceryl stearate se and I was always happy with it. I live in Europe and buy it from Aromazone. My last batch is different. The lotions are a bit thicker but more importantly it leaves a waxy coat on the skin. I tried your cleansing balm twice but it doesn't work. It doesn't emulsify but stays greasy and waxy :(
I want to try another emulsifier now. What do you recommend? Olivem 1000?
Concerning Xanthan gum...you mention that to help the Xanthan not clump try putting Xanthan into some oil to disperse then add to the heated oils right before combining with the heated waters. When doing this, does the Xanthan gum have enough time to hydrate? I thought it was only water soluble? Thank you for your help with this!
I’m waiting on some ritamulse to get to me! I am having such a hard time with soaping, going to see if the emulsifier helps. All I’ve been using is E-wax NF soft and silky.
Also, very curious: is it possible to mix just the emulsifiers+water, and THEN add the oils? Would this make any kind of difference to the final product?
Marie as I experiment with better oils, I get either to thick or thin... I've mixed them together..
What about using very finely powdered oats as a thickener? I am thinking about making aloe vera gel from the leaf.
What if you have created the emulsion already. Is there a way to thicken after?
Hi Marie I love your recipe anytime I do any of your recipes it always a winner but most the ingredients names are different whi buy them I found out I have them ritamulse is hard to find where I am in Scotland 🏴 I buying from EU is less expensive and it hard to find the same containers you use can I use glass jars thank you all your information
do you have a link with the equipment you use on your videos?
Thank you so much dear. I love to have those spatulas you use. Unfortunately I can not find from my country 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka . God bless you 🙂💐
Thanks for watching!
I recommend looking up the spatulas in the Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia; there's a link to an AliExpress supplier who likely ships to you ❤️
Thank you so much dear . I will. Thank you for replying me 🙂❤️
I find my immersion blender makes a lot of bubbles. Will they work their way out eventually?
Hi I made emulsified body butter yesterday and when I aply it to my skin at start it feels nice and hidrating but when you work it in to the skin it feels thicker, heavier, not smooth, harder to work it in... I need help plis ❤️i love your vids and apriciate your help
Ive been using arrowroot flour. I mix it with glycerin then add to melted shea and coconut oil. I need to change the water i add from cold to hot n see if it works even better. My sister eants a more buttery cream. This is all trial and error for me
Your videos and the information you share on your website has really helped me in my knowledge of diy skin care products and has greatly assisted me in expanding my knowledge in ingredient research and formulation developments, God bless you 🤍
I'm so glad! Thanks for DIYing with me, and happy making ❤️
Do you know a recipe for a cream or a lotion without heating the oil?
How would I make a skin sunless
Tanner
In need of some guidance please. I have made formulation number one twice. Both times after adding my preservative (optiphen plus) it thins the lotion out significantly (watery consistently). It never thickens into a lotion after this. My only other substitutioun to this formula is replacing the ritamulse scg with emulsify wax nf.. Would appreciate any feedback please. Thank you.
I have made Creams using Emulsifying wax NF before, and they melt and absorb well into the skin. I got the idea of using Glyceryl Stearate (and) PEG 100 Stearate as an emulsifier when i saw you use it in some of your videos so that i can have more control on the viscosity of my formulation. I also started using Xanthan Gum, again thanks to you, I have gotten several formulation eureka s since I started watching your videos. Now, something I encountered, maybe you can see what's going wrong.
The creams / Lotions I have been making using Glyceryl Stearate (and) PEG 100 Stearate that has Xanthan Gum upto 0.5%, stearic acid upto 4 %, and total Oil phase including the emulsifier upto 27% hasn't been absorbing that readily despite of the 59% or higher water phase, it also soaps a bit before it absorbs. Do you think its the Xanthan Gum? I have made several test batches with just liquid oils, with butters, and varying water percentages. Do you have an idea of why? Or does Glyceryl Stearate (and) PEG 100 Stearate soap a bit in general?
Hi. Same doubt here. I did the summer extra-light cream formula recently and used xathan gum to replace polyacrylate crosspolymer-6, way too soapy….i will try some other formulas and confirm weather it’s the problem or no
What are the percentages of your emulsifiers?
As a rule, emulsifier should be 25% of total OIL phase... Also, since you are using more than one thickener, I think you may be able to reduce your stearic acid. 4% seems a little bit high (I am only guessing without your formula percentages I cannot be totally sure).
Also, if you are using any butters in this formula, it can increase soaping as they have a lot of stearic acid in them.
I am thinking that your water phase needs to be higher.
What are you doing with all the products you make if not sell them anymore? :)
Very knowledgeable mam... U always give us perfect full detailed explanation.. kindly say ur heating machine name or link for that to buy.. Thank you so much mam.
Thanks for watching! Details on my hot plate are in the Equipment section of the Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/) :) Happy making!

Available ingredients with me
1, petroleum jelly
2, parrafin oil
3, wax
Cost wise here petroleum jelly is expensive from the 3 ingredients......am waiting, drop your formula magic sister?!
i think there's an audio problem at 8:37?
hello i am making body wash but i have to put a preservative, i have cosgard, but i dont know how much.the amount i have of it is 1:09.1, Please Help!!! LOL
Can you put one video to reduce soapy effect with emulsifying wax nf..or which emulsifier doesn't feel soapy..I use cetyl alcohol in my formulations .I don't wanna remove fatty alcohols to remove soapy effects...by the way i enjoy your videos 😊
I'll keep it in mind-thanks for the suggestion!
U could use dimethicone to get rid of soapy effect
Marie, I’d like to get your consulting service but your website says that monthly plan is sold out. Will this be available again soon?
Hi Allison! There are 15 monthly consult spots available, and all those slots are full at the moment. When someone steps down from that tier a slot will open up and will be open until someone snags it. I don't have any plans to add more slots this month, but might in the future. If you send the Humblebee & Me Facebook page a DM (or email me) I can try to let you know if I see a spot open up, or if I add more :)

Would less water and more butter make an emulsified body butter/cream? Can you add Cetyl alcohol and a butter?
You're going to love my next video :) Stay tuned!
My emulsion has bubbles and instead of a thick , instead it's frothy and bubbly.. How can i rectify this? If you can help please
Those bubbles = air, so incorporate less air if you want less bubbles. Be mindful of the tools you’re using and how you’re using them. For example if you’re using a whisk and beating it vigorously like you’re making scrambled eggs then it will have more bubbles than if you use a chopstick and gentle stir. She also mentions how to avoid bubbles at 4:07.
can cocoa butter be used in place of the shea? I only have cocoa butter on hand.
Of course! The specific formulations I've shared aren't really the point-they're just demos. As I say in the video, and solid fat can work :) Experiment and have fun!
Formulation 2 is my favorite recipe now. I didn't have sodium lactate so added the amount in water... perfect recipe for me!!! Thank you!!! I need no other recipe now 😊
I'm so thrilled to hear it! ❤️
Can I ask what's wrong with bubbles in a lotion? It feels sort of whippy. Is it harder to preserve?
It's not bad, but it is something a lot of people ask about preventing/avoiding. One of the biggest downsides is that the lotion can "collapse" after a few days, leaving headroom in a bottle that looked full before.
@@HumblebeeAndMe I see. That makes sense. Thank you 💗
Please let us know use of Sodium Lactate
Hi Sonal! The base formulation is explained in TONS of detail in the free partner blog post for the first video in this series: www.humblebeeandme.com/easy-natural-lotion-for-beginners/. Please read it ❤️ Happy making!
@@HumblebeeAndMe thank you
Marie, why always glycerin? In south, especially if near a beach. Your face,body, has so much moisture pulled to it. You feel like leaking. I've been working without it. I'm okay with my products. But not my gels. Help
The formulas here don’t use glycerin so what are you referring to. Also Marie lives in Canada so concerns specific to areas with high humidity likely aren’t of importance to her when formulating.
Marie always always urges viewers to check out her website and encyclopedia, where you’d quickly see that the glycerin info page has suggestions for suggested glycerin replacements, complete with info about the stickiness of each suggested alternative (on their respective detail pages). She suggests:
“You’ll want to replace it with another humectant. Sodium lactate and propanediol 1,3 are good choices.”
Scanning many of her video comment sections, I’ve noticed that nearly all can be answered if the viewers would have taken Marie’s advice and reviewed her website blog postings and encyclopedia. Marie seems to be incredibly thorough and logical in her thought patterns and actions, and has almost always taken the initiative to have already addressed any questions that are relatively foreseeable about the topics she discussed in videos (where that info has been, of course, posted on her site).
Listen to Marie and utilize her site! She’s put SO MUCH EFFORT into it and it’s an AMAZINGLY informative resource!!!
Hi Sharon just saw your comment. On places with low humidity what you need is not to pull the glycerin out but rather to add an ingredient that locks moisture, like some silicones. What you need to do is draw water to the skin (glycerin) and lock it there.
I can pay the $10.00 a month but, my problem is changing ingredients to grams, I have a scale but I have trouble using the scale, I would so much appreciate your help since you seem to know more than I do about converting to grams. Thank You
What do you mean trouble using the scale? Any digital scale will have several different unit of measurements (including ounces and grams) that you can easily change by pressing one button. Most scales will only have 2 buttons: on/off/Tare and unit of measurement. So after turning it on, you press the unit of measurement button button until you see it says “g” on the screen. Then you can start weighing your ingredient, or put a container on first then press tare before adding the ingredient.
If you only know the weight of something in ounces and want to convert it to grams, then lookup/google “how many grams are in an ounce?” and then multiply your ounces measurement by that number to convert it to grams. For example, if there are 28.35grams in an ounce and I have 2 ounces, then I multiply 2 x 28.35 to get 56.7 grams.
It’s similar to converting feet to inches. Let’s say I want to convert 2 feet into inches. I would lookup “how many inches are in a foot?” and the answer would be: 12 inches. So I would multiply 2 (feet) by 12 inches to get: 24 inches. So 2 feet = 24 inches.
That is the basic way of converting units of measurements.

Great video, but can I ask you to slow down a bit when you're speaking? There's so much to take in!😊
Noted! But, since this video is already done, here are 2 easy options:
1) Play the video at 75% speed
2) Read the free partner blog post; it's got even more information!
@@HumblebeeAndMe thank you for replying. Will do both 👍🏽🙂
I love what she creates but i realized she speaks to much
I disagree.
If she didnt speak then she wouldn’t be able to teach us
I love that she takes her time to explain. I really appreciate that about her.
She doesn’t just formulate products, she goes deep and teaches her followers so much. Yet, her videos are never too long. But as the saying goes, you can’t please everyone 🤷🏽♀️
Maybe u already brilliant on formulating but new beginners like me do need her detailed explanation and appreciate it so much
