thank you soo much Cecil.. . waiting for such safe creams from long time... easy to make ...less time... with available ingredients... you are superb... waiting for more videos... lots of love
Vinutha Shekar, thank you for your comment. The cream is really good, the skin absorbs it very well and it works wonders for the hair and scalp as well 😘
Hellooo. I tried this today and it came out reallyyyy well😁. I used Shea butter tho, I also added in vitamin e oil and honey. I'll be using it for my hair. Thank you Cecil!!!😁😁. Happy New Year!!!!!
Gbadamosi Victoria, I wis you a Happy & Prosperous New Year. Thank you for your feedback, glad to hear that you were successful in making your cream. Adding vitamin E to it is a great idea. Blessings to you dear.
@@osamedennadi6309 I think it should last long enough if you add e vitamin (antioxidant) and preservatives. The exact amount those two depends on the amount of cream you’re making. This is at least what I have learned, I hope it helps. Ask around for more information.
The Mother Of 4girls, thank you so much 🙏🏾for visiting my channel and for your comment. If you wish that your moisturiser last for about five months, since aloe vera gel is water base, I recommend you add in Geogard 221 as a preservative. Without any preservative, this cream should be stored for a maximum of 10 days in room temperature. In the fridge for about one month. Blessings to you🙏🏾🌸
Thanks for this amazing oil, can I add cosmetic grade xanthan gum diluted with glycerin into the mixture? As the climate is hot and I'm not using extra version coconut oil. Therefore, the mixture isn't coming of the desired consistency. Thanks again and love your content, may God bless you abundantly ❤
@@relaxically6600 when it is very hot, coconut oil tends to melt, surely this is the reason you are not able to achieve the consistency. Thank you though for watching❤️❤️
I was just about going to purchase me another Vaseline body lotion, and I thought to myself, what if I make mine? Meanwhile i have big jar of coconut oil with about 10 other types of oil and butter for my hair. I came on here searching for how to make gelled body oil, but came across this and guess what, I will be making this today.
Hi i really Love ur reliable skincare recipes Kindly reply, so I wonder if i want to add peptides like matraxyl 3000,collagen,centella asiactica,pearl powder , ceramides etc into this cream, is it as simple as By Just adding the max recommended amount of everything By using ur cream as a Base and mix it? I.e matraxyl is used at Max 10%, so i can simple add 10g in 100g of this cream?
Santosh Jain, yes, you can add a bit of rose water to the recipe. First mix the rose water with your aloe vera gel. Yes, it can be stored in the refrigerator.
Dorppy Ndaki, of course you can use it on your natural hair. I normally massage it into my scalp and hair every other day. It helps keep the hair moist and soft. To avoids having any aloe vera chunks in your oil, remember to filter the aloe vera gel before mixing it with the coconut oil. God Bless you!
@@cecilvig Well I am completely new to all of this , so will be buying as I need to . I did have some Vitamin E , have used that now . What others are there , as will need to now order some . Many Thanks
Greetings from South Florida, US - Can I use your 4 ingredient aloe vera gel recipe with the cold pressed organic coconut oil to make this moisturizing cream?
For this recipe, I advice you to use cold pressed virgin coconut oil. Yes you can use on children from six months old. Please do not store it for over eight days. If you wish to store it longer, you need to add it in preservative. When adding preservative, make sure to only add in the recommended dosage.
Amara Ogechuhukwu, thank you so much for your comment and for subscribing to y channel. My appreciation. Thank you also for the request. It has been noted down. Many Blessings to you.
Ms Cecil, i tried your recipe for the cream. Thing is... My aloe vera pulp when beaten in grinder became the same consistency as shown in your video, but... I tried to beat in blender later and it is not coming soft and fluffy, and seems to appear still a bit watery... Pls tell me how to make it fluffy in blender.
It your aloe vera gel also slimy? If yes, you should add in a bit of coconut oil, blend for some few seconds and see if you will get the desired results.
Jaetopia, thank you for visiting my channel. I explained how the oil can be used below in the description box. If stored in the fridge, the oil can last for up to three months. When stored in room temperature it can last for about four weeks. Aloe Vera oil can be used for the face and the whole body. It moisturises the skin like no other natural skin care product.
Has anyone used Aloe vera juice instead of gel. I was just wondering. I know preservative maybe needed either way but has anyone used store bought aloe vera juice like from walmart the one used by diabetics to drink?. If you have tried it does it blend well and not sticky on body. Just curious. I cant use expensive store gels and am scared to use fresh gel just in case the batch spoils since i make a good bit to last. Was just making water/ aloe based cream since the last one was all oils and it makes me feel hot.
You can use the store bought juice, but add in the juice bit by bit. To avoid the cream from melting, you can add in some wax and some almond oil. I recommend you take: 3.5 tbsp of coconut oil 6.5 tbsp of almond oil 1 tsp vitamin E oil 1 1/2 tbsp of wax 10 drops of any essential oil of your choice 1/2 a cup of your aloe vera juice (room temperature) Method: Melt the oils and wax together. Pour into a blender and allow to cool to room temperature. Set the blender on high speed. Add the room temperature aloe vera juice a bit at a time and slowly, over a few minutes. The mixture will slowly thicken to a nice cream. (Add in your preservative) and pour into clean, dry jars and store in a cool, dry place.
Sheena Kyozira, thank you so much for visiting my channel, and for your comment💕 To my knowledge the best preservative to use is vitamin E capsule. You open the capsule and use just the fluid inside, by mixing it in the cream with a spoon. This is done after you have gotten the creamy consistency. You can use two capsules for the quantity given in this video. Thank you dear🙏🏾 I wish you a wonderful week. Be Blessed!
Thank you so much and welcome. Another great oil to use is shea butter. You can also use almond oil. The only issue with almond oil is that after mixing and blending with aloe vera gel, the oil will not gain the whitish creamy consistency as coconut or shea butter.
I store mine in the fridge, and take out in small portions to use for three days. With this method, my oil stays good for about five to six weeks. If you prefer not to store the oil in the fridge, it can be stored for two weeks in room temperature.
If you wish to store it longer than a week, then you should definitely add in a preservative. Here is the link to another video that is quite similar to this one, but with preservative: ua-cam.com/video/flJ8UeeOSOw/v-deo.html
2 weeks i the fridge. The shelf life of your product depends on the shelf life of your ingredients. Example: If you use 2 ingredients, one has a shelf life of 8 months and the other one has a shelf life of 2 months. The shelf life of your formulation will be 2 months. At least, this is how I calculate the shelf life of my formulation.
@@cecilvig thanks. yes. My face is oily 99%of the time. I use white refined shea butter on face because the raw ones have a strong smell. So that's why I asked if I could use shea butter instead.
@@ldnh.6300, I had that problem too. Mine stopped when I started using pure black seed oil on my face. I advice you to try it as well. Buy organic black seed oil, do not mix it with anything. Use it on your face in the morning and in the evening. It will take about a month for you to see the changes but you will not regret it. It is very effective.
@@cecilvig thanks! i used to use the black seed oil but it gave me more blemishes. I have oily skin especially the t-zone area. Do you think refined shea butter is beneficial for the face.?

Can dis alovera cream be applied to face and without washing face can i use powder after applying alovera cream

Has anyone used Aloe vera juice instead of gel. I was just wondering. I know preservative maybe needed either way but has anyone used store bought aloe vera juice like from walmart the one used by diabetics to drink?. If you have tried it does it blend well and not sticky on body. Just curious. I cant use expensive store gels and am scared to use fresh gel just in case the batch spoils since i make a good bit to last. Was just making water/ aloe based cream since the last one was all oils and it makes me feel hot.
You can use the store bought juice, but add in the juice bit by bit. To avoid the cream from melting, you can add in some wax and some almond oil.
I recommend you take:
3.5 tbsp of coconut oil
6.5 tbsp of almond oil
1 tsp vitamin E oil
1 1/2 tbsp of wax
10 drops of any essential oil of your choice
1/2 a cup of your aloe vera juice (room temperature)
Method:
Melt the oils and wax together. Pour into a blender and allow to cool to room temperature.
Set the blender on high speed. Add the room temperature aloe vera juice a bit at a time and slowly, over a few minutes.
The mixture will slowly thicken to a nice cream. (Add in your preservative) and pour into clean, dry jars and store in a cool, dry place.
Can the aloevera gel be used with another oil?
Yes it can be used with another oil. The only problem is, it will not blend well and the consistency will not be smooth. I guess you can try it out.
Pls am new here. Is the mixture not going spoilt without preservative? Tnx
You should definitely add preservative. Please make sure to add only the recommended dosage.
Super
Good
Nava Alice.
Thank you very much!
Hello. I like your video. But, how long will it last for this recipe?
Without preservative, maximum one week. With preservative a 4 to 6 weeks
Thanks for the answer 😊
If I add preservative will the self life will be longer ?
Hi dear what preservative can you put to keep it for a longer time without putting it in a fridge?
Sheena Kyozira, thank you so much for visiting my channel, and for your comment💕
To my knowledge the best preservative to use is vitamin E capsule. You open the capsule and use just the fluid inside, by mixing it in the cream with a spoon. This is done after you have gotten the creamy consistency.
You can use two capsules for the quantity given in this video.
Thank you dear🙏🏾
I wish you a wonderful week.

hi i m a new subbie..yo channel n info z great!!wat other oil can i use besides coconut bcoz coconut oil makes me break out

You can also use almond oil. The only issue with almond oil is that after mixing and blending with aloe vera gel, the oil will not gain the whitish creamy consistency as coconut or shea butter.

Kindly tell me
How long we can store this cream
I store mine in the fridge, and take out in small portions to use for three days.
With this method, my oil stays good for about five to six weeks.
If you prefer not to store the oil in the fridge, it can be stored for two weeks in room temperature.
No preservatives needed?
If you wish to store it longer than a week, then you should definitely add in a preservative.
Here is the link to another video that is quite similar to this one, but with preservative: ua-cam.com/video/flJ8UeeOSOw/v-deo.html
Why, when I put it in the fridge, does it harden and become like stone?
Because coconut oil freeze 🥶 on low temperature...keep the cream in room tem
Is it sticky like gel or is it more the consistency of lotion?
More like lotion.
How long can it last without the fridge if the room temperature is cool. What is the life shelf like???????
2 weeks i the fridge.
The shelf life of your product depends on the shelf life of your ingredients. Example: If you use 2 ingredients, one has a shelf life of 8 months and the other one has a shelf life of 2 months. The shelf life of your formulation will be 2 months. At least, this is how I calculate the shelf life of my formulation.
