It would be great to see an in-depth talk about which esters or silicones to choose and when to use them. Like a comparison of sorts. Also going by how much they tend to cost, so people can choose some of the cheaper options out there.
Marie, I guessed them all right!❤ I've been following your entire series on basic lotions all the way through till today. All the tips and tricks you've shown us along the way have made a HUGE difference in how I now formulate my own formulas. Thank you for breaking it down in small bites anyone can take advantage of! 😊 Also, going over the deep dives on emulsifiers was a huge help to me. Knowing how each one feels independently. I've made everything from light milky formulas to rich buttery emulsified body butters, and they've all turned out excellent. Thanks for making formulating a joy rather than a giant hassel of mind-boggling numbers, lol!😂❤😊
Very good advice Marie 😊 I like to use equal amounts of ester and oil to reduce the greasy feel. There is one other natural ester I like Propanediol Dicaprylate. This is a very light ester. I try to avoid silicone, I prefer to make my lotions or creams as natural as possible. 😊
Love your stuff humble bee Marie! I have your book and use the recipes all the time and even create my own. It's been years since I bought actual products. And these tips videos are awesome. Keep the inexpensive tips coming please since so many of us are living on budgets ❤
Thanks for this great video! I wonder if there are any natural options that you could use instead of the anionic options you provide on this video. Would GuarCat work as an alternative? Thanks!

Wow, how interesting that Octyldodecanol makes such a large part of the oil phase in the Dr. Barbara Sturm cream! I was actually thinking about an Octyldodecanol + C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate combo for another type of formulation, but I didn't realize how much potential it might have as a luxury commodity as a cream 😳

Hello, I started to follow you recently and my first face creme turned out great. I watched this video and to be honest, I don't know anything about those 'secret' ingredients. So, my question is are they natural and completely safe?

Hello Maria, I am trying to making cream eyeshadow at home and I like to have it in twistable pen, do you have any seller I can go to? I couldn't find it anywhere on Amazon, or maybe I don't know the term they use for, can you or anyone here help, please? Thanks
Gynaecologists typically recommend gentle, unscented products for cleansing the vulva (I would go with that-AKA NO fragrance in feminine washes), and advise leaving the rest of it to its own devices. Here are some thoughts from Dr. Jen Gunter: vajenda.substack.com/p/merchants-of-shame (scroll down to "The vagina should never be cleaned"). Personally, I would not recommend formulating such a thing, and generally agree with Dr. Gunter that such products really aren't necessary.
@@HumblebeeAndMe me personally I don’t trust washing the inside I just use it on the outside and I see some people using fragrance which I thought you weren’t supposed to do. So I’m glad you reassured me there I would use a floral water instead
In my experience that's not universally true. It's more of a "try it and if it doesn't work, that's probably why" thing. You will commonly find cationic and anionic ingredients paired in shampoos (especially conditioning ones)-it really depends on the specific ingredients + the overall formulation. Some examples: www.lush.ca/en/hair/conditioners/american-cream/9999961781.html (anionic SLS + cationic Cetrimonium Bromide) deciem.com/en-gb/hif/hydration-support-cleansing-conditioner-100355.html (anionic Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate and Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate + cationic guar gum) www.sephora.com/ca/en/product/no-4-bond-maintenance-shampoo-P435616?skuId=2121549&icid2=products%20grid:p435616:product (anionic Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate [and others] + Polyquaternium-10, PQ11, cationic guar gum)
@@mokshalani8414 indeed, this is true for shampoos, where quats can create coacervate to create 2-in-1 products. But I've never heard of this for emulsions
Hello I love your vdo very much but I can’t choose which recipe I should start to be my first product. Would you recommend for best cleaning balm or butter whipping cream? Thank you
Hey Marie! Thank you for sharing this tips, i also want to know if this gives the final product a different feel: Mixing water aand oil phase together while being in heat, not separated as they usually are.
Generally yes, but I spoke about large categories of ingredients so this is a bit like asking "are all vegetables ok for someone with a sensitive stomach?"; maybe, try it, it depends :)
Of course! Look it up in the free free Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/) and scroll down for a list of formulations using it; you'll see quite a few are anhydrous!
good evening Marie, thanks for your work, could i ask you about the soapy effect of the face cream on the skin? i don't know the reason behind this issue. which of the following ingredients could make this effect, this is the formula that i had made 1- xanthan gum 0.2 gm 2- stearic acid 0.5 gm 3- cetyl alcohol 1.5 gm 4- cetearyl alcohol 2.5 gm 5- tween 60 1.5 gm 6- GMS 1.5 gm 7- olive oil 20 gm 8-lecithin 1 gm 9-glycerin 3gm 10- sod lactate 0.5 gm 11- sorbitol 1gm 12- preserv 1gm 13- vit E 1gm 14- water 75gm really i will appreciate ur answer, thanks.
I'm afraid soaping is not a "one ingredient is causing the problem, drop that and everything is solved" situation. It could be the interaction between a couple ingredients, it could be the concentration of a specific ingredient, it really depends.
Marie, I wonder if you can help? I am trying to avoid the powdery after feel that my diy creams give as I feel it dries out my skin and hair. Is there an emulsifier that isn’t powdery? I have some polysorbate 80 arriving today and I was thinking about using it as a Co emulsifier. I promise I have read your blog to investigate wax emulsifiers and couldn’t find this information. Many people love that powdery feel but I can’t stand it. I have sunflower lecithin which I do use. I want to try, using that with polysorbate 80.
I'd try Emulsifying Wax NF; I don't find it to be powdery at all. That powdery sensation can come from other ingredients, though, so I wouldn't exclusively look at your emulsifier.

Please Ms. Marie.. Help me save money 😊I just found about your channel now.. Watching from Bicol, Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 God bless and More Power to you...
Product breakdown question: how can I tell if a commercial product used an anionic emulsifier or not? I've been trying to sorta reverse-engineer the Dr. Barbara Sturm cream's ingredients list, and though I can't quite peg exactly which emulsifier they used, Cetearyl Alcohol & Glycerol Stearate seem like they would likely be part of that system (similar to Ritamulse SCG) Cationics are straightforward enough, but how do I ID anionics?
You need to look for an anionic emulsifying ingredient, just as you would look for a cationic one. Cetearyl alcohol and glyceryl stearate are non-ionic fatty thickeners, so you can generally skate right past those. That product uses an emulsifier I've never seen before-Potassium Cetyl Phosphate. It is anionic according to several manufacturers on UL Prospector :)

Loved this video❤❤❤ what scale do you use?
I thought cationic ingredients will ruin emulsions with anionic emulsifiers and actives. Or you suggest to use with non-ionic ingredirnts?
Me too, but I noticed that Polyquaternium-10 can be used with anionics even though it's cationic (see her encyclopedia on it)
In my experience that's not universally true. It's more of a "try it and if it doesn't work, that's probably why" thing. You will commonly find cationic and anionic ingredients paired in shampoos (especially conditioning ones)-it really depends on the specific ingredients + the overall formulation.
