You are the reason that me, as a male, started a homemade cosmetics "company" half a year ago. Thank you so much for all the inspiration! I'd never expect to start from a small tutorial on youtube to go on for a full on certification on cosmetics.
This lotion formula is flawless. I just made a batch today, following along with this tutorial and I am so well pleased with the outcome. I had to substitute agar agar for xantham gum and that worked well. I also primarily used aloe vera juice and rose water and for the emollients I used a jojoba body oil blend I had previously scented with an essential oil synergy of honeysuckle, lavender, eucalyptus and lemon. My lotion recipes have failed me until now. Bless you Whole Elise for publishing superb skin and hair care tutorials. Indeed my summer skincare crafting list just grew. Self care elevated.
SO happy you included lists for naturally-derived ingredients. I’m trying to make lotions that I can sell at my farmers market, and the only other natural recipes I’ve found so far require you to keep the lotion in the fridge. Very inconvenient to say the least! So glad your channel exists!! 😍 you’re a lifesaver!
Elise, your videos are scientifically smart, comprehensive, beautifully shot, and soothing to watch. SO many smart branding choices across all levels. Your knowledge and presence is incredible! Thrilled your videos came up in my algorithms. Thank you for sharing1
Hi Elise (love your name - it makes me think of a flower.) I just discovered your RUclips site and I'm very impressed. You share an amazing volume of facts that are valuable to all of us. I would be jealous of your knowledge, but then we all have that opportunity to learn; all we need to do is take advantage of it. So, I have subscribed to your channel and I'm definitely going to look up your website. Thank you so much for giving me, a 73 year old woman, the advantage of learning more. You are a gem!
My dad started to make our own lotions, cremes, shower gels, toner etc in the 80s. But it never looked so esthetically pleasing as in your videos. 💗 I remember him sitting in his little "lab" and mixing the cream cold so it could thicken. That lasted quite a long time like you are saying.
I love your videos! The quality is just superb! Everything is so well explained. The shots are beautiful. You're speaking is great. Just love it, thank you so much! ♥
I could listen to you all day. Your voice is so pleasant. Your presentations are so clear and easy to follow. Best I've watched. Thank you for doing these videos.
Ok.. I've been looking for several days the best help to lotion making. And again you have done it! I love watching, listening and learning from you! Thank you!
I would love a "how to make your own formulation for dummies." Video. I've been doing this for a few months now and I ONLY follow recipes because I get to overwhelmed trying to figure out how to formulate my own recipe. Like with percentages and sizes. I know each ingredient comes with a recommended percentage rate... I just haven't quite figured out how to incorporate them into a STABLE, formulation. 😒
I have learned an IMMENSE amount since making this comment over a year ago..... but I think you didn't read what I wrote correctly. I was talking about how to make YOUR OWN formulation... how to formulate on your own. Not how to make HER product in this video. I knew she had step by step instructions on how to make everything she posts. When I made this comment, I was looking into how to make products without following someone else's formula on THEIR product... which I now know how to do. I can make my own products and include my own additives and adjust them to my preferred thickness, scent, feel, slip, etc.
@@heidicroucher I make this stuff for a living in sizes from 5kg to 500kg so I know we don't really experiment with certain things too much. I don't want to go into details because some of the ingredients can be harmful if used in too high a concentration. So I don't want to say you can adjust everything expect this this and this. Then if you are making a small batch for yourself it can be ok but if you add in 200kg of something it can be dangerous to inhale the fumes and so on.
Sis, can you please add “How to formulate” classes to your website? I would really like to learn from the in-depth knowledge you have . I heard of an Australian company that offers Organic Formulating courses. However, I would love to support your work. I like how you explain and the analogies you use.
Wow! This is so lovely dear. I love the video so much. But, I can't figure out the measurements. Please, can you help me in listing out the measurements? Thanks a lot and God bless you the more.
Thank you so much for all your videos! I am learning so much from you! You are an amazing teacher!! Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge! Love you creations!!
I made this cream a few nights ago and I LOOOOVE it. The texture is great and feels light and smooth. One of the best lotions I have used and I love that I made it. Is it possible to switch out the Emulsifying wax to Ritamuse, Emulsifing NF, or BTMS 50? I only have a tiny bag of Olivem 1000 and I used a lot of it for this recipe.
Hello Elise, I would love to give this recipe a try but can't find it for the calculation option on your website. Thank you so much for all these beautiful and informative recipes, I'm a single mom trying to create a small business, so thank you. I'm very grateful.
I'm so happy I found your channel. You make it sound so simple, better explanation than any channel or article I came across. Do you know any good preservative that is coconut free, my husband and I are allergic to it and it's derivatives. Thank you 😊
I love you and love your videos 🥺 You are AMAZING... Seriously you are the best one who makes skincare DIYs!! Please never stop posting. Btw I made your foaming sugar scrub and oh my god I'm in love with the result. I would love to show you the final result, they looked so beautiful.
Bees wax is an emulsifier. As well as cetyl alcohol. Both emulsifiers with low HLB value, I believe around 5/6. The first cream ever created in history was made by using 1 part beeswax one part of olive oil and one part of water (rose if I am not mistaken) by Galleno. In formulations you surely can use beeswax as the emulsifier when making water in oil (aka w/o) emulsions. The one in the video is a oil in water emulsion (aka o/w) so the emulsifier has to have a higher HLB value. Just wanted to clarify the point. 😝
I cant believe I'm actually considering this. All these new fad of adding HA and niacinamide is rampant in the markets. They even discontinued products that were actually doing quite well so they could follow this trend.
Hi Elise your contents are always inspiring... Please I want to make a request...😍😍 I would appreciate it if you can make a tutorial on a store bought scalp exfoliator thanks😄😄❤️❤️
Thank you so much. This is exactly what I've been looking for. Where can I find these measurements please? I saw some as you mixed but they were a bit blurry. Thank you💖
Very informative video, every question i was asking myself you answered for me right away. I agree with the comments saying you should teach classes youve got a knack for it. Subbed
Great video! Very detailed and step by step tutorial! I love watching your videos, because you put out lots of great contents! Beautiful! By the way, I like your blouse (the colors are beautiful). ❤
