If you haven't learned how to make the basic lotion yet (the one that we're scenting today), learn how @ ua-cam.com/video/UZ8GYan6cno/v-deo.html ❤️ Happy making!
I bought unrefined blueberry seed oil on Etsy, and not only is it a lovely soft purple color, it smells VERY strongly of blueberry! I love it! (The color does not transfer to skin.)
This guide is very helpful, thank you! I’ve struggled with adding scents to my natural butter formations. The scent of the butters always tends to overpower the added scents. I will read more on the blog post for the guide to combat this issue. You’re doing great work and I’ve learnt so much from you, thank you Marie.
Hi. The only thing I think that can be a "con" when using an hydrosol (when 1 of its objectives is to add scent) is that it can become extremely diluted (always in terms of smell) depending on the preservative u're using. For example, cosgard has a somewhat intense smell (almondy) which sometimes dominates other existing smells/scents present in the formulation. Could u give us a few examples of "ecocert preservatives" that dont have much of a scent? Thank u very much
ive never heard about hydrosols before this video! i have eczema and i want to make scented lotions and body butters but was scared of the sensitization essential oils could give. thank you so much for this information! great video -`♡´-
How do you get rid of 'drag' feeling when making lotion? Does it depend on which emulsifier you choose? Are there any tips or hacks you can share? Thanks for this video. 😊
Hi. I've recently found your channel and love it. Do you have a video that mentions the scale you use. My kitchen scale wasn't picking up the small amounts when I tried your burts bee dupe. Thx!!
Welcome! ❤️ You can find details on the scales I have in these posts: Ten pieces of equipment for new formulators: Part 1 (www.humblebeeandme.com/ten-pieces-of-equipment-for-new-formulators-part-1/) Ten pieces of equipment for new formulators: Part 2 (www.humblebeeandme.com/ten-pieces-of-equipment-for-new-formulators-part-2/) I also share specs on my most-used equipment in the Equipment section of the free Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/).

Thank you, it looks nice. I have a question. I made body butter and it was beautiful, but the shea butter smells strong. Can I add more essential oil while it is in a container, or do I need to melt it again and add essential oil?
Hi! Don't try to drown out the smell of the shea butter; it won't work. I've tried :( Have read the free partner blog post for this video + seen the video & blog I released today? Both contain more information :)
Following you since long. And bought your book as well. Tried lot of cosmetic products and really proud of you.. can you plz guide what should be used to increase ph of lotion. I know to decrease ph citric acid is best but to increase ph i dont like LYE solution what is other option i can use?
@@HumblebeeAndMe actually i made mist and increased its ph by using LYE solution. That was working well that time. But after 2-3 months it started giving rashes and patches in my skin. So i thought that is more because i used lye. But i think ph was dropped so low that caused those red patches and rashes on face. I should use EDTA to stabilize ph
I have some Dior J'Adore bath oil. As I assume bath oil is safe as a leave-on product, is it a good/ bad idea to swop out 1-2% of the oil phase for scented bath oil?
Hi Shirley! As a general rule, you should not include finished store bought cosmetics/products in your formulations. You also shouldn't assume a bath oil is safe as a leave-on product as bath oils are rinse-off products :) For this product in particular; even though it's called a "bath oil", it's not an oil. Here's the ingredients for this product I found online: AQUA (WATER) ● SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE ● GLYCERIN ● PEG-7 GLYCERYL COCOATE ● COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE ● PARFUM (FRAGRANCE) ● PPG-26-BUTETH-26 ● PEG-40 GLYCERYL COCOATE ● PEG-150 DISTEARATE ● PEG-40 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL ● PRUNUS AMYGDALUS DULCIS (SWEET ALMOND) OIL ● SODIUM COCETH SULFATE ● SODIUM CHLORIDE ● PENTYLENE GLYCOL ● ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE ● COCONUT ACID ● HEXYL CINNAMAL ● SODIUM BENZOATE ● SODIUM CITRATE ● HYDROXYCITRONELLAL ● ALPHA-ISOMETHYL IONONE ● CITRIC ACID ● LINALOOL ● CAPRYLYL GLYCOL ● CITRONELLOL ● POLYQUATERNIUM-51 ● TOCOPHEROL ● GERANIOL ● BHT ● ALCOHOL ● PHENOXYETHANOL ● CI 14700 (RED 4) ● CI 19140 (YELLOW 5) ● CI 60730 (EXT. VIOLET 2) It's mostly water and surfactants-it's more like a shampoo than an oil. It absolutely will not function as an oil and cannot be used instead of an oil in any formulation. I hope that helps :) Happy making!
This formulation is totally natural and substitutions are discussed extensively in the free partner blog post at www.humblebeeandme.com/easy-natural-lotion-for-beginners/ :) Happy making!
I’ve never smelled a sweetgrass hydrosol that didn’t have an absolutely rank scent lingering in the background. Like silage/rotting grass. I’ve tried at least three different suppliers. Where are you finding these nice-smelling sweetgrass hydrosols?? The warm summer grass scent you get first is lovely, but the ones I’ve tried soooo quickly go completely stomach-turning.
Hey Marie! I make a hydrosol out of something unique…I guarantee you’ve never heard of it!! I instantly thought of it as something that would be interesting in you lotion formulation. Let me know if you want to hear about it 😊 Joy
Hi! I don't have a batch calculator-I just use Google sheets, and I teach you how to do that, too, in this post: www.humblebeeandme.com/formulating-and-diying-with-spreadsheets/ (partner video linked in the post if you prefer to watch). It's WAY better than on online calculator because you can save all your formulations & don't have to re-enter anything.

Oooh, fun! I do LOVE blueberries... can you share a link? 😄
I use vanilla hydrosol as a body mist! It’s my absolute favourite hydrosol!
Vanilla hydrosol is soooo lovely! 😍
That sounds absolutely mouthwatering!
Where do you find the vanilla?
@@nikc1520 voyaguer soap & candle has it or just google it. There’s a bunch of sites that carry it
I’m making my own geranium hydrosol and it works amazingly in many of the products I make.
Sounds amazing!
That sounds divine! ❤️
Love hydrosols 💕. Neroli smells beautiful 🌸🍊
Neroli is one of my favourite! 😇

Monoi oil smells divine together with coconut oil!
Yes it does-I can't believe I forgot about monoi! 🙈 It's divine 😍
Personally I also like the grassy smell of calendula water. Coconut butter is absolutely divine too, as it cocoa butter CO2 oil.
Please make videos for us on skin lightening body lotion for sensitive skin.
I can just add this to an already made unscented lotion?
As always.. well done!
Thank you so much! ❤️
sandalwood hydrosol is wonderful too
You are a genius ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You make me smile! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love turmeric hydrosol. Smells nothing like Turmeric EO
How interesting! What does it smell like?
Orange blossom water! I found it at my grocery store next to rose water.
That one is so lovely!

A NaOH solution is the industry standard for raising pH; it's safe, effective, and unlikely to interfere with your formulation. Why don't you like it?
@@HumblebeeAndMe actually i made mist and increased its ph by using LYE solution. That was working well that time. But after 2-3 months it started giving rashes and patches in my skin.

I made serum with Cassis hydrosol :)
YUM!!
Is there an Organic version ? I don't think I can get some of these ingredients in my country

I’m so confused after watching you. Please a simple, non toxic small batch body and face cream with very little light scent.
Please could someone tell me what those spatulas she's always using are called?
www.humblebeeandme.com/project/jar-icing-spatulas/
Is it better to glass containers or plastic for lotions?
Neither is better than the other, it depends on what you need :)
Sweet grass hydroxyl is really nice.
It is! I can't believe I forgot about it for this video 🙈 I did an entire series of sweetgrass themed formulations a couple years ago 😍

Hemp seed oil raw, no mixing, rub around your eyes. Just tad. It's an oil. Bye bye bags and dark circles
So now the question is, how do you scent your lotion WITH essential oils? I can’t find a video on that 🤔
