Hey Marie, it's a pleasure watching your videos. Every single minute on your video is used to share valuable information. Hats off to you girl! Keep growing. Love you ❤️❤️❤️
Found your channel after joining Formula botanica last yr. Sometimes your videos are like a revision of the course material..love your encyclopedia though sometimes I find some ingredients missing but I know your data is dynamic you keep adding whenever you can..kudos to your effort.
Love your videos have learned alot...I left you a message couple weeks ago asking if maybe u wouldn't mind doing a video for pet shampoo and conditioner that be used for both cats and dogs? Just as a guide....I have seen a lot of recipes using ground up oatmeal ....please and thank you! Keep the great videos coning! Ty
This is why I'm so scared to try formulations of my own! 😭 I only have the confidence to follow your videos to a T. I also don't even want to try suggested "substitutions," because I don't want to mess it up. ESECIALLY with the preservative Otiphen being touchy and making emulsions unstable. Ugh So much!!! *Pulls hair out frantically* *deep breaths, deep breaths* 😒👀
Every video you share with us is packed with amazing information! I cannot stop being proud of your vast knowledge :) thank you for sharing with us your precious wisdom
Good info. You mentioned aloe vera being an electolyte. I'd ike you to explain more on electrolyte tolerance and how to determine that depending on the emulsifier. A list of tolerances for popular emulsifiers, and stability testing of this would also be helpful..
I dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Leo Jaxxon I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Thanks for sharing this information. I've made my own lotion and body butter before. Never had separation but I found my butter wasn't smooth enough so I'm switching my emulsifying wax to see if the type will make a difference.
Hi! Thank you for your videos! I really need your help. I made an emulsified body butter and my ingredients include BTMS-50, Cetyl Alcohol & Optiphen as my preservative, the body butter came out good & stabilized until I added in my essential oils, then it started to destabilize. Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Hi. I really enjoyed watching your lotion videos lately. Questions. What would happen if you added more Shea butter (or any butter) than water? Would it change the way the lotion feels or the way it forms? What is the purpose of using more water? Thanks so much. Your videos are so helpful and amazing. -Ashley
In my experience that really doesn't create a noticeable difference, but try and see! Also-watch the video I shared on Monday to see the subtle difference by switching all the liquid oil for a soft butter. You'd think it would be a pretty big change, but it really isn't. Happy making!
Fingers crossed. I don't know what happened. I made a large batch and jarred 6... PERFECT! Same batch, added fragrance oil.... Immediate speration. Figured it was the fragrance oil although I've never had problems with it. Tried a different one on the same blank batch.... SPERATION. Gonna add more wax, I think I added more when I split them and less in this portion... Never mind me🤭
I was taught that beeswax could be used as an emulsifier! How dare they mislead me! I did use a lecithin emulsifier recently, but it came out very runny still... Has anyone here tried to add more emulsifier to an already made lotion or add more solid oils? Id really like to save it rather than toss it
I tried to make an oatmeal lotion, but I added to much colloidal oatmeal and now I make and sell a oatmeal body cream. It cannot be pumped out a bottle. This also happened to my cocoa butter lotion.
Hi Marie. Sending well wishes from Australia 🙏😀🙏. This probably sounds like a crazy question.. but how do you actually know what percentages/parts (or even all of the different types of ingredients to include) in your different formulations? Do you work off pre-existing master recipe formulations (for each different type of product) & then modify the ingredient list according to what you'd like to use in that particular recipe? Or do you start a formulation in your head from scratch every time? I know you love your spreadsheets but if a spreadsheet was not available to you then how would you know what to include & how much? I find spreadsheets extremely confusing & therefore REALLY struggle to know how to write formulations from beginning to end! So I wondered how you know what to use & what percentages to work with? I love your book & have formulated some recipes but they are based off of yours (such as the dry exfoliant facial scrub polish powders)! With that said, I'd love to know how & feel confident enough to write my own recipe from start to finish but have no idea where to start 🧐🧐

Hey, I had a question unrelated to the video, about reusing packaging. I can't seem to find a concrete answer anywhere else. I get that you can reuse glass bottles and such but for the pump tops, I guess they have to be thrown out after each use? What if I'm filling the container with the exact same product, can I skip cleaning the pump top and the bottle? I could have sworn I read somewhere that it was okay to just refill and use the same top/bottle if its the same product and you don't try to clean it. Thanks :)
Take my advice- in the long run it's safer to use a fresh bottle with fresh tops. Glass jar? Sure, wash it and after it's dry wipe down with alcohol. But the bottle, just don't. If you top it off you'll end up finding mold down the road, as well as dealing with lotion that's turned rancid. If in the US check out the jars/bottles here, but remember you'll buy caps etc separate unless you find sets. It is easily affordable! www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/containers.aspx
@@leanne8810 How come you don't recommend glass bottles to be reused if glass jars can? I understand the fresh tops thing but everywhere I have read says if its glass, it can be reused, whether bottle or jar.

Hi....need help. I replicated a lotion recipe I made last week with 4% ewax, 3%cetyl alcohol and 3% stearic acid but the water just separated from the moment I started stick blending till it cooled. I don't know what's wrong as my emulsifiers don't seem to have gone bad
Hey! You’ll find what you are looking for in my book 😊 It’s called Make it Up: The Essential Guide to DIY Makeup and Skin Care and it’s all about how to create your own makeup at home. I’ve compiled a big list of places to buy it here: www.humblebeeandme.com/make-it-up-preorder/.

Random question, Marie, not formulating related but what brand of fireplace is that? I’m replacing the one in my finished basement - it’s currently a stand-alone gas fireplace so this style might work 😊 I’ve looked at some already but I like yours better. 🔥
Is there a difference between Emulsifiers and gums. Using bees wax, hydrogenated vegetable oil and Xanthan gum, Guar gum, Carbomer. What’s the difference,
Yes, there are lots of differences-please look up the ingredients in the Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/) to learn more!
thanks ive been doing good and the recipe i been using is no longer holding emulsion its like half soil and the other half is seperating when i let it sit see oil on top.im lost cause the oils hard butters ratio everyone loves i just feel lost
So I made my first lotion however, I used it on my skin and I had on my ring. The colour was changed when I put the lotion on it, is there a chemical that I could use that won’t change the colour or metals or cause a reaction?
The biggest one would be a baby-safe preservative; Liquid Germall™ Plus (INCI: Propylene Glycol, Diazolidinyl Urea, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate) is not approved for use in people under 3 years, for instance. You can learn more at humblebeeandme.com/preservatives/ :) Happy making!
Hi Marie xx thanks for all your wonderful info. I think I possibly have the dumbest question ever lolol but here goes. if I have no aloe vera juice but have a huge tub of aloe vera gel can I mix distilled water to the gel to substitute the juice ??? or would the benefits of the gel be compromised?
Hi.. I always love your videos.. 💓💓.. I have a question if you can help please .. I beat my cream with a beater.. I always end up having so much of air in my cream 🙈.. How can I fix that..
I'm working on a magnesium lotion with olivem 1000 and is it ever finicky 😂. I know the high electrolytes can cause an unstable emulsion. I also have cetyl alcohol. Would that stabilize it more alongside the olivem 1000? I'd love some tips.
Hi, The Local vendor don't have Emulsifying wax NF, and he showed me these two options, An-ionic emulsifying wax and Non-ionic Emulsifying wax. Can you guide how are they different and which one should I use?
Hey! So, knowing the charge alone really isn't very helpful, bit generally speaking non-ionic emulsifiers are more versatile than anionic ones :) Happy making!
I use olivem 1000 in lotions; emulsifying wax NF for creams, and BTMS 50 for butters. Every time I try mixing Olivem 1000 and BTMS 50 in my creams it breaks emulsion and I cannot figure out why.
It's hard to say without having your exact formulations, but Olivem 1000 and BTMS 50 should work for all kinds of emulsions if used at the proper rate :)

I made a emulsified body butter with water and after blending I filled 1 jar it looked great something told me to try it….I put on my fresh skin and it got cakey😩 how can I fix?
Hi in one of my formulation I used cetereal alcohol as the emulsifier. 10 gm sweet almond oil,3 gram cetereal alcohol,water 34 gram,essential oil and preservative.My emulsion didnt be made into a cream.After a few days it separated.Why?
I’m no expert AT ALL, but if what you mean is cetyl alcohol, let me share that when my recipes call for it, they also call for an e-wax. the cetyl alcohol won’t hold the formulation together

I use olivem 1000 in lotions; emulsifying wax NF for creams, and BTMS 50 for butters. Every time I try mixing Olivem 1000 and BTMS 50 in my creams it breaks emulsion and I cannot figure out why.
It's hard to say without having your exact formulations, but Olivem 1000 and BTMS 50 should work for all kinds of emulsions if used at the proper rate :)
Hi Marie i like yours video! I have a question for you i bought your suuper good book make up but i can not found the tiny mesures spoons, also i have an 0.01gr scale. Where can i found the equivalence of the powers amounts... Thaank
Hey! Thanks for buying my book :) You'll find the answer to your question in my FAQ on my website at www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/how-can-i-make-all-the-projects-from-make-it-up-in-weights/ 🙂 Happy making!
I know you have a course but is it broken down from beginner all the way to master level and sequential with feedback on testing to assess knowledge. Does it have a certification or something i can achieve to make me feel like i actually know it lol
It's a free course, so no, it isn't some massive undertaking with personalized feedback, testing, and a certification. But it is free!
What if using something like optiphen plus as a preservative in a hair gel makes it thinner how can i make it thicker again?
I usually formulate the product knowing it will thin a bit at the end-trying to add a thickener after adding the preservative will be very irksome.
Marie, can you talk about making a thick cream instead of a lotion
That's what the second question is about ;)
Humblebee & Me can you do a video using emulsifying wax and ceteryl alcohol to thicken and what percentage to use
Hey there, is there a maximum amount of time that you shouldn't exceed when blending emulsions? pls help
There's no universal rule, no. It will vary with formulation/emulsifier/tool/batch size/etc.
I love love your videos 😁🙌

Thank you so much! Don't forget to check out my blog (humblebeeandme.com)-I've been blogging for over 8.5 years while I’ve only been on RUclips for about 4.5, so there is TONS more content on the blog! ❤️
GOOD
Could you help me make a homemade powder for under breasts area
I made a emulsified body butter with water and after blending I filled 1 jar it looked great something told me to try it….I put on my fresh skin and it got cakey😩 how can I fix?
I'm afraid I really can't offer any advice without having your entire formulation. Was this one of my formulations?
@@HumblebeeAndMe no I waslooking and just subscribed
Ok :) I'd recommend trying one of my formulations and seeing if it still happens-I can offer more advice when it's one of my formulations :)
I tried to sign up. It wont allow me to.
How to get your book please
Hi in one of my formulation I used cetereal alcohol as the emulsifier. 10 gm sweet almond oil,3 gram cetereal alcohol,water 34 gram,essential oil and preservative.My emulsion didnt be made into a cream.After a few days it separated.Why?
I’m no expert AT ALL, but if what you mean is cetyl alcohol, let me share that when my recipes call for it, they also call for an e-wax. the cetyl alcohol won’t hold the formulation together
Sorry, I need your dumbed down version of this video please
Try this? www.humblebeeandme.com/super-simple-moisturizing-lotion/ :)
Are btms 25 or 50 good emulsifiers?
Yup! Learn more about both in the Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/) :)

How come you don't sell your own products?
Please watch my video "I QUIT! Why I stopped selling" :)
You talked way too fast. It was hard to keep up with your information without having to rewind a few times.
why are you so lovely honey ?!

Ohh God! You are speaking so fast. I guess you only speak for native english speakers. I don't think there is a time limit on youtube. You give very valuable information, but it's really hard to follow you while you talk.😢😢😢
Did you know you can slow down the playback speed on RUclips? support.google.com/youtube/answer/7509567?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid
This is one of the very very few (maybe 0.5%?) of videos I've shared that don't have a written free partner blog post, but usually you can go read the post instead if that works better for you :)
Thank you. I didn’t know🙈🙈
@@yasemindel3593 Happy to help :) I use this function a lot!
