Omg... I just love this video! I love how you shared your trial and errors with us! I’m not sure I’m comfortable making this myself but it’s definitely worth giving a try. Thank you for sharing. I’m so loving all your videos 🙏
Yay!!! You're back!!!!! Absolutely loved this video and the direction your channel is going in. Will miss having weekly videos though! Will definitely be giving your more natural version a go 👍👍👍
Missed you, you're back! And I will miss weekly videos from you. But I am so glad to see you and your version of a $40 luxury hand wash. Thanks for another great DIY as always.
Your channel looks so professional! You are gonna be a huge channel! I love the content and the your videography is amazing! You are gorgeous and very knowledgeable. 🤙🏻❤️🙂
I always love how you break everything down. I personally stay away from SLS and SLES ingredients altogether, so I will try to make this with another surfactant.
Hello, I love your videos! They’re very informational and easy to follow. Recently I have been looking around for a nontoxic hand soap and even the clean brands that are rated 100 on the Yuka app have shady ingredients. I was wondering if you would consider creating a video on how to make a simple hand soap. Thing are really starting to feel helpless, so you’d truly be a lifesaver.
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!, I found it today and I am very happy to see how much value is in it. Thank you and and I'm sure you will build an amazing channel ... To be honest, it's already an excellent channel 😊.
Thanks Elise. I've had success with several of your recipes and I'll definitely have a go at this one. I would love a recreation of the Aesop Hand cream. It's by the the best I've found.
Hi Elise, I know it’s an old video, but I just wanted to let you know that what ruin your first batch was the electric whisker, I’m not sure if it’s with all surfactants but SLES doesn’t like electric whisks nor immersion blenders, not even salt fix that, also when adding salt if you use too much it will water down the formula instead of thicken it, I’d found it sweet spot is between 2% - 3%, another tip, is that SLES can be thicken up with cocamidopropyl betaine if salt fails, I hope this helps
I think coumarin would be a really cool ingredient to use for scent. However its quite expensive to buy pure coumarin just for this purpose but tonka extract also contains lots of coumarin and it works well with lavender and myrrh. :) love the video
This looks great! I love the version you did that is more gentle and I think I actually have all the ingredients on hand so I’m looking forward to trying it. Well done on your cute label too. Your videos are so relaxing and fun to watch, thanks for sharing them :)
Great video! subscribed! Glad you didn't give up and showed us your first formulations! Its looks like so much fun trying to make Aesop Hand wash. I managed to make the body exfoliator, took me lots of attempts but I didn't give up and now have the product in my bathroom. I do have all the raw materials for it and I might give the hand wash a go too, thanks for sharing your ideas and alternatives. Also Iselux (SLMI) is a wonderful anionic surfactant if you can get it. Nice production on camera/sound and editing looks fantastic. I'm in Australia and we have Aesop stores here so we can try out all the products, they are really lovely, the scent however is really difficult to copy. I have tried the geranium fragrance but it's just not the same. Look forward to seeing more of your creations!
Thank you Elise, that was so very instructional and informative, a huge thumbs up for dedicating your time to experimenting, certainly after my own heart there. One thing I have learned re thickening which as we know is an absolute nightmare even using gums which sometimes look very successful in the beginning but after time can settle on the bottom in a gloop. Adding the C Betaine as the last ingredient actually does thicken the product, why I don't know but it certainly makes a difference. Thank you again.
Beautiful ❤ and makes me smile thinking in order to create something 'luxurious' (not my favourite marketing word) imagination and passion are most important
Fun fact that I learned wasting a lot of product: sulfates should be combined as one phase (phase A), glycerin water and others in another phase (phase B) and essential oils (phase c), then adjust the pH and then add the salt, it should be between 0.5 -1% if you use more the product will be liquid no matter how much salt you use. It is important that the pH is adjusted so that the salt also works. Hope it works for someone.
Hi elise I think you should make a video on how to make a simple hand wash amd not a expensive one as there are hardly any other videos on UA-cam on how to make a simple hand wash
I am looking for the "Reverance" Scent... and I was reading that they use fine milled pumice... @WholeElise... I hope you read this... and I hope you can reverse enginner the Reverance collection as well... The bergamont smell is so delicious in that recipe plus the pumice is perfect for scrubbing hands exactly clean.....
Thanks a lot sharing all these formulas. Your videos and explanations had cleared all the hypothesis about the luxurious brands. Can I start a small business following your formulation. What will be shelf life of your products Please help me out
Hi i know this an old post but wanted to try the hand wash and confused as to whether your saying i need SLS OR SLES? I hope you get this! I have also subscribed so I hope there will be more of these as really informative Thank you! Kymberly
hi can i request something? i have this skincare that i really want to recreate but its so hard to formulate. its a yogurt sleeping mask that has peaches extract in it. want to make it into a moisturizer as well. the ingredients are: Water, Stabilized Coconut Milk, Vegan Yogurt, VCO, Glycerin, Benzalkonium Chloride (From Salt) Peaches and Cream Natural Fruit Extract, Cetyl Ctearyl (Plant derived from Coconut), Lactic Acid, Ionic Acid (Anti pathogenic, Anti fungal) Pro Vitamin B5, Natural Alpha Tocopherol (Antioxidants) Vitamin C, Sodium Benzoate (From Salt)
Hi, great video! I am glad I have been looking for how to make hair gel it brought me to your channel.! Have you study chemistry to be a chemist? All of your videos are amazing in the formulas of ingredients to mix in making hair and skin products! Wonderful to make something yourself by just trying and it comes out very well. Your W logo looks like Walgreens. Lol! I just had notice right away. Very professional presentation and narration of DIY. I don't like Sodium Laurel Sulfate which is a foaming agent that is used in commercial hair shampoos, body washes, tooth paste and dish washing liquid. I have issues with SLS that of drying the skin and allergies. I have to avoid it at all cost. What is the name of the essential oils you use?
This is amazing thank you. I have just found you and subscribed. I will definitely be experimenting with making more of my own products. Can I use this from naturally thinking instead of presevertive Eco? - Dehydroacetic acid & Benzyl alcohol (GFecosafe / Preservative Eco equivelent) Only because I can get everything else there and its close to where I live Thank you again
I love you’re channel! I would really LOVE it if you could try and recreate: ‘Image daily matte moisturizer with SPF 32? After seeing this, it really made me wonder, why it costs 49 euro’s? Lot’s of Love From Belguim!
I did the final version, and it smells like chemicals... is it because of the surfactants, or am I doing something wrong. I did use the essential oils ( the store bought, doesn't)
Absolutely! Guar gum has better viscosity compared to xanthan gum but I tend to have hit or miss experiences with it - I definitely want to experiment with it more though 😊
This recipe looked good, but then I went to the website and saw the formula. SLS has an active matter of 95%, so in this case, there is 36% active matter from the SLS alone! Hand washes shouldn't have more than 15% active matter in total. This is more than twice as strong as it should be. Is there anything I didn't understand in this recipe?
Thank you for making this video. I really enjoy the whole process. And you are absolutely gorgeous and elegant. I do think aesop is so overpriced. But they do a good job on branding and marketing tho.
I am having the same problem... I have tried adding oils to moisturise, but it keeps separating. Did you manage to sort out this problem? And would you be willing to share?
ingredients that represent 1% or less of the formula are not listed in their order of predominance, so the order of the essential oils listed doesn't matter.
How'd I do? Try making your own Luxury Hand Wash here: wholeelise.com/blog/diy-aesop-hand-wash/ 😊
Your content is amazing 👏🏽👏🏽
Omg... I just love this video! I love how you shared your trial and errors with us! I’m not sure I’m comfortable making this myself but it’s definitely worth giving a try. Thank you for sharing. I’m so loving all your videos 🙏
I watched until the end...thanks for the sulfate free version. I'm making this!
Sles to capb ratio is also important in thickening
I wana make big quantity please mention formula big quantity
I love how you took us through the trial and error process of it all. It turned out amazing.
Aww thank you! Haha yes I wanted to show how I realistically approach making DIYs - it's not all smooth sailings 😅💚
Perhaps the most enlightening DIY video I've seen for personal care products. The visuals and the explanations are super on point. Well done!
$40 for hand wash??😱 I'm glad someone's giving these big name brands a run for their money. Well done Elise. 15.11.2020
Haha yeah every wash is a financial investment 😂. Thanks Farrah!
I'm so grateful for you and your willingness to give us your wealth of knowledge for free.
So sweet of you to say, it's my pleasure! 😊

OMG you are so amazing!!!!! I love watching your Channel !!! Thank you for sharing ❤
I always love how you break everything down. I personally stay away from SLS and SLES ingredients altogether, so I will try to make this with another surfactant.
Would you be so kind to share if you were successful in doing so and what you used? Would love to hear if it worked for you!
Can you do a reverse "kinky curly knot today" video please? I am very interested in the properties of the listed ingredients.
Signal boosting this comment. I would also love to see a version of KCNT.
Kudos to you for being so scientifically adventuresome!
Thank you! 😊

I'm so glad! Thank my lovely 😊
my congratulation for you ... wow wow ...proud of you ... keep going girl
Thanks so much hun! 💚
I love this video. Love this channel, your voice is so calming!
Great video 👍🏼 one question through : can I just buy a fragrance free hand soap and just mix in the essential oils for a similar result?
Thank you for sharing!
Will definitely try this recipe
I love this! Any recommendations for store bought unscented alternatives that are close and maybe more gentle… something you recommend would be great.

Hi elise I think you should make a video on how to make a simple hand wash amd not a expensive one as there are hardly any other videos on UA-cam on how to make a simple hand wash
It would be good you also had your own online shop where we could buy from you. Great video!
Nice! And do you have any ideas about the exfoliating stuff in aesop?
I am going to make this you are the bomb. I appreciate you❤️😍🥰
Aww thank you so much! 😊
Loved this tutorial! Very informative, thank you!
I am looking for the "Reverance" Scent... and I was reading that they use fine milled pumice... @WholeElise... I hope you read this... and I hope you can reverse enginner the Reverance collection as well... The bergamont smell is so delicious in that recipe plus the pumice is perfect for scrubbing hands exactly clean.....
Amazing. I love watching
Wow Elise, that's so awesome. Definitely want to try this myself ❤❤❤

Awesome, thank you! 😊
Can i use your luxury handwash recipe as a bodywash or do i need to make some adjustments to make it more moisturising or give it more lather?
Would be nice to have the direct links to purchase the ingredients.
I love your channel❤❤❤
2:47 Me at the airport. 😀
LOL I can't! 😂💚
Hi so impressed by this video. Thanks. But u didn't add emulsifier dear?
Beautiful thank you so much for sharing ♥️♥️♥️
Hi Elsie. What other product can one use for this great hand wash besides Phenoxyethanol?
I loved your natural version ♥️
But in this version you didn’t use a conservative, is it necessary?
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks a lot sharing all these formulas.
Your videos and explanations had cleared all the hypothesis about the luxurious brands.
Can I start a small business following your formulation.
What will be shelf life of your products
Please help me out
I was wondering for your 1st phase, how long does it take for everything to melt? :)
Hi i know this an old post but wanted to try the hand wash and confused as to whether your saying i need SLS OR SLES? I hope you get this! I have also subscribed so I hope there will be more of these as really informative Thank you! Kymberly
What label company did you use I really like the wrap around look
Hermoso trabajo. Gracias 😊
This is too cool!
Wow!!! Easy to listen to, nice acting, educational and One really want's to make some! I Will surely recommend you to My friends! Maura☘️
Aww thank you! I'm so glad you found it helpful 😊

Only because I can get everything else there and its close to where I live
Thank you again
You deserve ALL the likes 👍 for this video 😂 Love your content 🔥
Hi there, I can't get easy access to peg-40 castor oil, but I am able to find peg-50 shea butter, would that likely work as well?
I love you’re channel!
I would really LOVE it if you could try and recreate: ‘Image daily matte moisturizer with SPF 32? After seeing this, it really made me wonder, why it costs 49 euro’s?
Lot’s of Love From Belguim!
I did the final version, and it smells like chemicals... is it because of the surfactants, or am I doing something wrong. I did use the essential oils ( the store bought, doesn't)
what qualification would you recomend to learn all of this information, please?
Cosmetologist
Hi. Is there anything that can be subbed for the hydrogenated castor oil?
You could try Agar Agar to thicken
I think guar gum would make a clearer handwash as ashops..
But I haven't tried that...
It a great DIY ♥️
Absolutely! Guar gum has better viscosity compared to xanthan gum but I tend to have hit or miss experiences with it - I definitely want to experiment with it more though 😊
Would you consider making the Reverence Hand Soap?
Hi where can i buy these ingredients? Ty
Great video! Where did you get the labels?
Thank you! I made them myself 😊
This recipe looked good, but then I went to the website and saw the formula. SLS has an active matter of 95%, so in this case, there is 36% active matter from the SLS alone! Hand washes shouldn't have more than 15% active matter in total. This is more than twice as strong as it should be. Is there anything I didn't understand in this recipe?
I am in the process of making your Luxury hand wash,
Do I need preservative eco and citric acid in this one? X
Great video, but you also need to add in the cost of the bottle and the label.
You're pretty and smart🥺
How do you make your labels ?
Thank you for making this video. I really enjoy the whole process. And you are absolutely gorgeous and elegant. I do think aesop is so overpriced. But they do a good job on branding and marketing tho.
Haha definitely, and thank you so much! 😊
can you please do an aussie hair product dupe
Can you teach me how to do the body wash?
Hello, do you share the template for the label?
Something is missing. This left my hands a little dry. What can be added to make it more moisturizing?
I am having the same problem... I have tried adding oils to moisturise, but it keeps separating. Did you manage to sort out this problem? And would you be willing to share?
Pls tell me the alternative to PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil as it's not available here in my home country Pakistan
Cool!
Awe, this girl is so cool. Thanks for the information, I’ll try to recreate you more natural version.
Hey can you show us to natural extra hold jam please
💗 your dupe video
Thank you! 😊
I think your creamy body wash is much more luxorius and mostiurs the best. Thanks for your experiment anyway. Greetings from Chile
ingredients that represent 1% or less of the formula are not listed in their order of predominance, so the order of the essential oils listed doesn't matter.
Is any one else jealous that her glasses fit her so well?😂
Hey. If u add glycerine to sls
It won't thicken at all
Skip adding glycerine and u'll get
