Hi Marie! I tried this recipe for the first time about 2-3 months back, when due to my clumsiness some water accidentally fell into my recipe. So my bar did not harden and was soft and mush even after cure period of a couple of weeks. But at my second trial I made sure I was extra careful and it turned out perfectly! This is the best bar for not only my face but also my body! Love it! Thank you!
I love it !! Please also do a matcha green tea series 😍
I did a green tea series a couple years ago-green tea & silk!
Finally I have all the ingredients to make this beauty! 😍
Lady, you are awesome!!! Super recipe and video, thank you.
Thanks for watching! :)
How nice! I love how you share details about the ingredients and where you got the inspiration. I use Optiphen Plus for my creams and love working with it. These bars would actually be so nice to travel with.
Thanks! I had a lot of fun with these ones 😄
Omg girl, my preservative now is liquid germall plus.. but thankgod i still save em 😊.
Keep up the videos coming, and im looking forward for the newest episode of your Bee Better, coz i love ur videos !! You give me knowledge about skincare recipe.
Thankyou so much 🙏🙏🙏
😄
Your tutorials are awesome. May I please know if ASM matters in cleansing bars. From the research I gathered the "ideal" ASM of face cleansers is 8-10% but in your formula it's quite high. Does that have any effect on the skin?
I just made it! I put some Lavender buds at the bottom. Hopefully it doesn't turn brown! Thanks!!!
Thanks for DIYing with me, and happy making :)
Thank you so much Marie.
Hey Maria, this is quite good!! I don't have SCI but I ordered so in a few days gona make it. But I'm still In love with the cleopatra cleansing balm❤️
Ooooh, have fun! And I'm thrilled you're loving that cleansing balm!
Just made it. Its in freezer, but I had a small ball of left overs and it's very gentle on the skin. Had bit of a struggle couse of stearic acid, it got hard fast but I won lol. Also I put mica a bitt. Love it. Thanks for this precious❤️❤️❤️
Where can I find the Cleopatra cleansing balm, I tried looking but can't find it.
Hi Marie, If I used a clay instead of mica, would that throw off the ph or would it be ok as long as I replaced the % stearic acid or cetearyl alcohol?
I made this last night!😍😍😍 thanks Marie.
Hooray! Thanks for DIYing with me, and happy making :)
Your recipe make my day 😉😘😍
Thank you so much!
can you please please please make a formulation for a Acidified Cleansing Bar that contains mandelic acid? I am a huge fan of Lume but it's so expensive and I can only get it on Amazon :(, if you could do this and/or maybe a similar to Lume's deodorant recipe would be awesome, I'm sure many of your viewers would love that. Stinky pits are real and good products that work are so expensive :((
Hi Marie! Since most of the ingredients in this recipe are found in a shampoo bar, is it then safe to say that i can use this too as such? Is it ok to request for a recipe that's both shampoo and a cleanser 😁😍♥️♥️♥️
I can't see why not! If your hair likes it, go for it ❤️ Happy making!
awesome video Marie!
Thank you so much!
Your videos are amazing. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Hi Marie - I only have BTMS - 25, how would you adjust this recipe to include this rather than BTMS - 50? Thank you SO much, Claire x
can you add a clay to the bars 😊
I love your videos!
Could we use this bar as a soap for the body as well although it has no soap?
Yes, this would work for body use as well :) We call products like this a syndet bar rather than soap :)
@@HumblebeeAndMe thank you so much for your answer 😍 I'll give it a try then :)
I have this question in my mind for a week now but was shy to ask 😉.. Thank God I saw this comment 😊
Hi Marie, i found that cationic surfactants (positively charged) and anionic surfactants (negatively charged) will cancel each other. But anionics, ampotherics, and nonionics can be combined. If this is true then, in this recipe it is best to replace BTMS 50, a cationic emulsifyer, with a nonionic emulsifyer like emulsifying wax NF to keep the negative charge of SCI.
The original has both, which is why I used both :) I've also read that the opposing charges can make for a gentler product, though I've only really found one source for that statement so I'm not sure how much weight I give it.
That only apply on liquid product, I think it's okay to use on bar product
What difference does it make skinwise to use this syndet bar instead of a reg soap? Love ur videos btw
Regular bar soap will have an alkaline pH, which isn’t great for our skin, especially with repeated use. Over time it may affect your skin’s acid mantle and its ability to recover from having the pH disturbed. A surfactant-based bar like this one is balanced to be around 5.5 on the pH scale, which is where our skin is most happy. :)

I was looking for a probiotics cleansing bar (soap replacement) so it would have a ph of 5ish and probiotics in it, as well as not having reach during the process a high temp, and of course no lye, I think this is similar to what that would be but now quite, do you have any idea how one should go about attempting to make a probiotic bar for cleansing purposes?
I loved it,but plz tell me I need to check pH level of this facial bar,I really like to do
You'll find the answer to your question in the blog post that's linked in the description box below the video ;)
@@HumblebeeAndMe thank you so much
Hi Marie. Can this bar be stored in the bathroom?
I've been thinking about preservatives recently and have been struggling. Your blog post says because this product will be in contact with water frequently you will need a preservative. My struggle is that when I make a product that doesn't contain water I assume I don't need a preservative. Help me understand.
anything that comes in contact with water can develop bacteria.
so if you have an anhydrous product, such as dry clay, for example, but then you stick a wet hand into the clay, the water wil contaminate the clay. see?
@@thecozyconstellation so you would add a preservative to clay or another anhydrous product that would come into contact with water? This leads me to wonder if the need for a preservative is influenced by the pH of the product.
Christopher Spence well no. In that example you’d simply avoid getting the whole amount of product wet. Example is the clay cleanser that Marie did quite some time ago. This is anhydrous and for my own use I don’t add preservative because I know that’s the case and I know to not get water in it or stick fingers in it at all. I use a popsicle stick. However I also give it to a friend, and although I have explained this to her, I do add preservative to hers because, if she forgets, I don’t want there to be issues. It’s pretty simple really. Anything that contains, or has water added to it, can be bacterially contaminated. If you added water, add preservative. If you think there’s a good chance the end user will add water (taking a container into the shower, using wet fingers to dispense product etc) add preservative. I’d also add preservative to anything you think people are gonna stick their fingers into.
@@catzkeet4860 I think I've got it now. Thanks for your thoughtful reply. So much to learn!
And by "water", that's anything that has water as part of its chemical make-up, so hydrosols, aloe juice, honey, milks ... I think the glycerine in this recipe has water in it.
Can we use this daily ?
beautiful.can u make solid stick face wash.its very inn nowadays.n one more question.what is d difference between facial soap bars n your facial cleansing bar
Shipra Rathor facial soap contain sodium hydroxide, And a high pH. This Cleasing bar probably has the pH similar to the skin. It is soap free. BTW I think you could use this recipe to make your own stick.
@@heloisa_89 oh thats amazing.thanks for info dear
Heloísa is right! There's also already a solid stick wash on my website from over a year ago ;)
@@HumblebeeAndMe ohk will search it on ur page.thanks for ur revert
Good day
I noticed that you don’t use any vegetable oils. Is it ok if I add vegetable oils like rice bran?
I don't recommend it as it'll make the bar softer. Stearic acid is an important component of many vegetable oils and butters so serves the re-fatting role without softening :) Learn more about it with the recent ingredient deep dive I did into it. Happy making!
Thank you for sharing this
Thanks for watching!
Can I use a normal emulsifying wax and cetyl alcohol instead?
You'll find the answer to your question in the blog post that's linked in the description box below the video ;) There's an entire list of substitution suggestions!
I'm wondering if I can substitute xanthan gum with HEC?
You can certainly try it!
Hi! i can´t find Optiphen, Only Germal Plus! How can I add it?
You'll need a thermometer, and it'll be fairly difficult-the bars will be pretty solid below 40°C, and it's hard to incorporate new ingredients into solids.
Could I use Coco glycoside instead?
You'll find the answer to your question in the "Substitutions" section of the partner blog post. It's linked in the description box below the video ;) If you're not sure what that means, read this: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/whats-the-description-box-on-youtube/.
Happy making!
Can we put this in a plastic push up bottle?
I can't see why not!
😍
😄
I can use other preservative. 🙄🙄🙄I don't have opi..😉😉🇺🇸🇺🇸thanks
You'll find the answer to your question in the blog post that's linked in the description box below the video ;) (I'm not American either 😉)
Personally I still find this formulation drying
My Winter Solstice Cleansing Cream might be more up your alley :)
@@HumblebeeAndMe Thank you! I will give it a try :)
Yeay 1st comment
🙌🏻
…man I just wanna be a genius so I can make my soap
You don't need to be a genius :)
