Thick, Luscious Foot Cream PLUS testing new cling wrap | recipe included | Soy and Shea
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 ноя 2018
- To go with our Pumice and Salt Scrub, we have a thick and luscious foot cream! Follow along with me as I show you how I make our foot cream. I have formulated this to be a thick and heavy cream but to absorb quickly into feet.
The labels I use are Polymer and I got from an Australian eBay supplier. I believe they are similar to the waterproof labels from Labels Online

Thank you for such lovely feedback ❤
Love watching your videos, very inspirational. Thank you for sharing your recipes and appreciate the explanation given as to why you add each ingredient to your creams and lotions.
Thank you for watching. When I was learning, I felt the reason behind ingredients was always missing and feel it's really important to know so you can formulate great recipes 😊
You do such a beautiful job! Thx for sharing
Thank you 😊
I hold for 20 minutes too. I think it helps. Beautiful cream. Great video love! Fantastic labels and packaging!
Thank you. 🧡 On the couple of times I've not held the heat as I was in a hurry, the lotion separated 😞

Awesome job! Thank you for sharing 😉
Thank you 🧡
wonderful! even your samples get the full treatment! nicely done missy
Thank you 😊
@@SoyandShea most welcome!
as a side note, xanthan gum in your water phase will provide more stability and structure to your formula. It can be add to the water phase at .3-.5%, always as a slurry with the glycerin. The xanthan gum gives more longevity in terms of shelf life as well by creating a protective barrier for your lipids. I learned that from IPCS. just thought i'd share. everyone is free to do their own thing ofc but I just love sharing new info that someone may or may not be aware of.
always enjoy your videos, was happy to see a notification pop up :)
I have tried xanthan gum in a few formulas but didn't like the texture - it felt almost sticky. I'm a bit funny when it comes to texture on skin 😆
@@SoyandShea I actually suspected you may have tried it but was just making sure you were aware.
there are different grades of xanthan, and there are other types of gums available to choose from. Perhaps one of those would be better suited for the skin feel you are seeking. From the research I've done, almost all professional cream and lotion formulations contain one of these gums for stability as well as longevity. The function the gum provides is unique and cannot be mimicked by any other ingredient. So leaving it out is deliberately shortening the shelf life of your products, unfortunately.
Which means your lipids can, and will, rancidify that much faster..on your customers. Using gum, in combination with the proper antioxidants in a preserved formula, gives your buyers the longest possible best before date.
IPCS goes into detail on this chemically. I'd highly recommend seeing her demos on youtube. She teaches according to the industry standard and is thorough in making one understand the importance of each ingredient we often see in cosmetics. Best o' luck!
You are so amazing!! I’m inspired
Thank you 🧡
I love your informational videos. I’ve tried lotions on several occasions and never with satisfying results. I do see some things that you’ve done that I didn’t so now I am going to try again. Also, squalene is so nice but a bit pricey here in the states. However I want to give it a go in lotion, sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing, love your videos ! 😊
Thank you 🧡 I'm happy to hear the video may have been of some help. Let me know how you go. The squalane is an expensive ingredient but only needs using in small percentages and is well worth it.
Very interesting and informative, thank you!
Thank you
This is lovely
Thank you
Really enjoyed your vid looking forward to more ❤️❤️
Thank you 🧡 I bring a video out each week
You are so awesome
I love all your products and videos
Thank you ❤
A quick tip but it makes such a difference in cleaning. Heat your oils and emulsifier in the largest jug. Pour the water in the oil jug (not vice versa). Cleaning out a water jug is much easier than and oil/emulsifier jug.
Thank you! I do that on my smaller batches but I have to invest in another big pan for the bigger batches.
I just saw your under the eye cream and realise you already do that :-)
Thank you for sharing😊
Thank you for watching 🧡
Love watching your videos
Thank you for watching and supporting me ❤
You are very professional
Thank you 😊
I am a subscriber to ur channel since the very first video i saw of urs . I enjoy watching ur videos and love the way you talk and explain everything. I only know how to make soaps but I really enjoyed the foot cream making process. Very thorough information. Thank you for the video. Maybe be someday i may do something like this. Wishful thinking! 😊Thanks again for all videos !!!!
Thank you for supporting me in my journey 🧡 I learned to make creams before soap and thoroughly enjoy the process. I highly recommend trying
Thanks a lot for the reply!!! Inspite of you being so busy u take time and reply to everyone. That is so incredible!!! Wish u lots and lots of success!!!!
@@sricube Thank you ! I am really grateful that everyone takes time out of their day to support me.
Very nice
Thank you
Very informative
Thank you for watching ❤
Hi I just came across your videos and I am so happy I did. I'm new to soap making. What videos do you suggest I start with? I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!
Hi Noemi, Thank you for your lovely comments. If you are new to soap making and looking for more detailed advise on how to make soap, I highly recommend the Soap Queen channel (there is a link to her channel in the information section). Wicked Lee Goods also had a great set of beginners tutorials. If you are looking for inspiration, I have a playlist of soap making videos where you can see different techniques I try.
You could Cover your liquids with a cotton cloth that would keep the moisture in.Thank you for all the great recipes. Love what you’re doing keep it up.❤️
We have been trying a few different options. Unfortunately we still lose water with a cloth cover 😞
Or just nothing and add more heated water. Humblebee does it that way. She weights it before and after. She'll add the amount of water that evaporated.
Even if it is biodegradable it is still fossil resources, packaging, transport etc.
Thanks for the videos and recipes! You might try Reusable Silicone Stretch lids found on Amazon
Thank you. I'll have a look for them 😊
I need some of this magical stuff. I was literally sitting here looking at my heels thinking winter turns them in to rock.
Yes - months of covering feet up for winter can play havoc. We're heading into summer and I find after a long day, a cooling foot soak and some cream a great way to finish the day
I recently subscribe ur Chanel n a follower of Instagram. really enjoyed it every video. n a big big thanks for sharing ur recipe 💕
Thank you for your support 🧡
Keeley, just a suggestion, as I use a small size pipping tip to insert my cremes in my tube containers, as my openings are smaller than yours. Thank you for sharing your recipes. We here in Florida have now been cleared to make cremes and lotions from home (2021 provided we meet a few requirements) and I'm so excited to start again. When I lived in OH we could make everything from home. Thank you again!
That must be exciting to be able to start making again.
I have tried piping tips but didn't like them. I made a lot of mess 😆
I think there are some silicone petals or something. They're circles of silicone that you can just place on top of a bowl and it seems to make a right seal. The spout might be an issue. I appreciate you trying to be environmentally friendly. That's nice to see!
I know exactly what you're referring too 😊 I used to have some in the kitchen but they got lost on a move 😞 I'll see if I can find more. I don't always use this jug, have bowls too so I can try that.
check out the reusable stretch lids. they are a stretchy silicone
Thank you 😊 I found some silicone sheets that work well
Thank you for the recipe.
Would a plate on top of your jug keep the condensation in?
It needs to be a really tight fit or the water still evaporates. I now use silicone wraps and have recently discovered a really good bio-cling 🧡
I love it when recipe is included but when in percent to me I have no idea what any of that means guess I have further to go before I can start soap making yet
I find its always best to work in percentages so you can resize any recipe. 🧡
Love it! Thanks so much for having us in your kitchen. Nice tutorial and thanks so much for the recipe. So many awesome tips. :)Jen
Thank you for watching Jen and your lovely comments 🧡
I'm new to scrubs and lotions. Where do you get the tubes for the foot cream, Thanks
I'm based in Australia and get my tubes from New Directions Australia.
Curiously zen-like watching you.
Thank you for watching 😊
I try the scub and I love it now is time for the crem. What is the name of your preservatif it is written nipper gard ( not good subtile) Thank you
I used one called nipaguard but you can use any water soluble preservative
wonderful as always...when you hold for 20 mins does that mean your simmer on low heat for 20 mins?
Thank you 🧡 yes that's right 😊 As soon as it gets to the right temp I turn the temp down a little so it doesn't get hotter. Doing it in a water bath also means it doesn't boil
Thank you
👋Hi K, can I make this as a body lotion with the same ingredients? 😀 Thank you
You could but I find it a little too thick and heavy for an all over body moisturiser - maybe more of a night cream. 😊
try tin foil to help with evaporation or just have some simmered water and add what evaporates once you remove from heat
Thank you! I love the idea of trying tin foil. I will have to make a small batch and see if this affects the cream and slows evaporation. I have tried in the stock pots to leave just the lid on but I loose about 40% water and this to me is a waste of a precious resource and also pushes the cost of the lotion up.
Is there any oil we can substitute the olive squalene for ?
Squalene is a very unique oil and is something found in our skin. The closest that you could replace with is Jojoba but this is technically a wax so you would need to test whether you like the feel. Otherwise replace with a light oil like fractionated coconut oil
Keeley, I know this video is a couple years old now, but I thought I would make a suggestion as an alternative to cling wrap. I've seen silicone pot covers that stretch out. Perhaps something like that could work and also be reusable!
Quite a few have mentioned them. I was able to find a silicone reusable cling that I now use. 🧡
@@SoyandShea that's great!! I need to get myself some, too!
There are silicone wraps online that work like glad wrap or maybe finding a glass jug with a lid. Also maybe worth reassessing the way you package things too might help, like if you didn't have to squeeze them into plastic tubes you'd save a plastic zip lock bag and a plastic tube, maybe instead you could use a glass jar with a metal lit as glass and metal are much easier to recycle and fill with your products. I always choose glass or metal over plastic!
I am now using biodegradable piping bags for filling and I found the silicone wraps but they need to be secured tightly to stop the steam escaping. I chose to use plastic tubes due to an accident I had after someone dropped glass in the bathroom and didn't collect all the shards. Broken glass in showers is not pleasant 😥 all the tubes are recyclable 😊
@Soy and Shea Ah yeah that would be horrible, sadly our recycling is all in a shambles in Australia hope they fix it soon. In the mean time we are avoiding plastic altogether since our council has stopped taking it 😰
@@reneeh5993 yes Australia definitely needs to get up to date with recycling. Although I offer my products in PET jars and tubes, I am always trying to do things differently. I set goals this year to reduce the use of disposables in my making but without wasting water to clean. Three months in and most of the disposables have been replaced. I'm on the hunt for the biodegradable/compostable cosmetic pots here but sadly I can't find an Aussie supplier. I am also trying to create products that don't need packaging like soap, shampoo bars etc, but our summer heat is not always kind to these products. I have also reduced the plastic we use around the home though this is never seen by my customers.
Soy and Shea yes we are definitely behind in Australia! Hopefully since there is a demand for compostable plastics hopefully someone picks up the post and starts offering these things.
Hey I needed to know does someone needs any degree or particular eligibility for formulating products ! Good work♥️
You need to check you countries rules and regulations. Some countries have stricter requirements than others
Where do you get your squalane? Thank you soooo much
Any good supplier will have it. If you google it, suppliers local to you will come up.
Silicone Stretch Lids are what you need, Amazon has them in different sizes
Thank you. I tried these but unfortunately once you take them off to stir, they don't go back on with a tight seal because of the condensation.
Could we use xantam guam or goma guar instead of tapioca?
I'm not using the tapioca as a thickener but rather to reduce the greasiness so no, they are not good substitutes
what preservative do you use? I couldn't hear. will it work for other stuff like body butters, sugar scrubs, bathbombs ect
I use the Nipaguard range of preservatives. It's a broad spectrum preservative that's cert for natural products. The type I use depends if its water or oil based and if oil based, will it come into contact with water.
@@SoyandShea thank you so much so would the lotion be water based?
Try shower caps that you can reuse time after time.
I love the idea of a shower cap and I will be trying this the next time I make a lotion or cream
What was the name of the preservative you used.
The one I used in this product is no longer made. You can use any water soluble preservative
Keeley my i ask which kind of label paper do you use??
These were a waterproof polymer paper. I now have a special printer which has a special waterproof paper
@@SoyandShea oh that is amazing, I have to say labels on your product look amazing ❤, well done !!
@@sandygovic1585 thank you 😊
Where did you get your scale? How do change your percent to gram or ounces? Thanks
I got my scale from Amazon. It's basic maths to convert the % into a weight. You can use an online calculator too.
@@SoyandShea Thanks
Has anyone used this? I really want to try it, but I’m in the USA and shipping is high (as expected). Probably doesn’t help that I have like one of each thing in my cart 🤣. I can’t find a non greasy fast absorbing foot cream… my heels and toes get hard and cracked.
My foot cream has proven very popular. I can't stand greasy things on my feet so I formulated it to be moisturising and non greasy. 🧡
Where is the best place to buy the ingredients
Any good suppliers of soap and bath and body supplies will have the ingredients.
Thank you
Why you use distilled water not mineral water? Is it a choice ?
I use distilled water to make sure there are no minerals etc that can cause bacteria issues.
@@SoyandShea ooh Thanks for replying 😊
A shower cap to keep the water in? Reusable & cheap 😊
That will be my next option. Everything else is not working 😕
@@SoyandShea I've seen reusable silicone bowl covers that would probably be better, to be honest, but I have no idea what they're called & I've only ever seen them on the Wish app. I also just noticed that lots of people had the shower cap idea 😆 I thought I was sooooo clever 😆
@@thedrugthatkilled I've had those bowl caps in my kitchen ages ago and found they were great until moisture got involved. If I took a bowl out the fridge and condensation formed on it, the cap never went back on 😕 Maybe they're better these days. I also got some of those silicone sheets that can be used like cling or baking paper and found the same issue. I have things to make this week so going to try the shower cap suggestions 😊
I wish you had shared recipe in grams 🙁
By sharing in percentages you can make this into any size batch you want and can also see the ingredients are used in recommended rates. There are plenty of calculators out there that can assist you with converting.
Soy and Shea where to find the calculator ??
@@Whatsupmomy Google it. Lots come up
Soy and Shea what is to be searched as......calculator for?.......""??? Sorry to bother u
@@Whatsupmomy search for a percentage calculator.
shower cap..
That's an excellent idea. I will get some on my next shopping trip and see how it goes 🧡
