Adding oil to gel based cleansers would make them less effective to remove dirt so if you want to make the cleanser more gentle yes but you will find that the gel based cleanser foams much less as a result and you will get a bit of a residue still. Also be careful if you want to use this mix on the eyes as gel based cleansers can be more irritating than pure vegetable oils. There is no right or wrong for this though, try it out and see if your skin likes it! :)

​@@OrganicAlchemist Really appreciate your insight. Yes, makes sense. The gel cleanser would become less effective for it's intended purpose if we added oil. But my reason for asking was: if adding jojoba oil or other oil to a regular water based cleanser can make it more effective in cleaning oil based makeup and water resistant sunscreen etc. making the water based cleanser behave more like a dedicated oil cleanser given the cleanser has some oil emulsifying agents in the formulation. i.e for the first cleanse of the double cleanse. Nowhere near a replacement for a quality oil cleanser. But could it be handy if you suddenly run out of it?

​@@virathiyam5401 Ah I see now your reasoning! I still think you're better off using any oil on your face first because oil will be more effective at dissolving that stubborn waterproof sunscreen (like dissolves like). Then rinse off, then follow it up with a cleanser to remove any residue. But it doesn't hurt to try, maybe you're onto something new 😉Let me know your findings if you experiment with this, i'm curious to know! 🙂

@@OrganicAlchemist Yea .. sure 😃.. I'll have do a bit of experimenting and get back with the findings.

Thank you for watching! <3

This would be because of the Olivem 900 It is good for dry skin and to remove the soaping effect but it can feel a bit heavy. You can try lowering the amount of Olivem 900 to 0.25% or remove it completely.

Yes broccoli seed oil would be a lovely swap! However glyceryl caprylate and coco caprylate cannot be swapped. They sound so similar but behave very differently. Coco caprylate is an ultra light silicone like oil and Glyceryl caprylate is like a paste and has refatting properties. To substitute coco caprylate look for another light oil ester like: - Isoamyl Laurate - Undecanes, Tridecanes - Olicone (Hydrogenated Ethylhexyl Olivate, Hydrogenated Olive Oil Unsaponifiables)

Yes you technically can! Some individuals may experience skin irritation when using products containing btms-50. If you notice redness, itching, or a rash, discontinue use immediately.

I haven't tried it but I think it is possible yes :)

Thank you so much for watching! Means a lot😍

Great suggestions! These were definitely also in my idea bank ;) Still experimenting around with these kind of emulsifiers and will post when I am happy with the results. Let me know if you have any other suggestions :)

@@OrganicAlchemist great, can't wait 🥰 would be great to see some products that target specific skin concerns! Acne, dark circles, wrinkles, rosacea etc. I'll be waiting patiently for more videos 🌺

Thank you for watching ☺️

Hello, I have a video about this already ☺kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2iwc5WKppuEp9E

Hello dear, I would love to help! You can book a consultation through my website www.organicalchemist.net/consultation

Yes both are approved by COSMOS/ECOCERT :)

Thank you so much! That’s what I try to do when making formulas for KZbin so everyone can try so I’m happy you think so! ☺️

Thank you for saying 😊 sure you can also leave it on your skin, it will be moisturising because of the glycerin and oils but it doesn’t have much water in it so maybe it’s not very hydrating. That being said, I also have a video for a body bronzer gel using Sucragel and I really like the skin feel of it!

Yes it will, you simply need to heat both phases gently to incorporate the butters in sapogel. Not sure 100% if it’s compatible with lanolin but I think there’s good chances it would be.

Lovely, would love to know what you think of it☺I agree with you the soaping really put me off for a while but now I found a way to formulate it in a cream so that the soaping is much less. It's all about combining it with other ingredients that increase slip and now I'm in love with the skin feel Olivem 1000 provides 😍 Will post the formula on a brand new patreon page end of the month in case you're interested :)

@@OrganicAlchemist that would be great 🥰 I love olivem 1000 too it's very stable and moisturising plus it has a nice skin feel, I have just always found the process of reducing its soapiness very draining and felt like the main function of my ingredients is to reduce soapiness rather than serve their purpose in the product, for example anti-ageing etc. But again I haven't spent much time tweaking my formula, I'm sure you've come up with something, your formulations and videos are great 🌺

​@@monikawojciechowska8964 Thank you so much for your positive words!! ☺

Hello dear ☺Funnily I had a neighbour who was buying and selling seaweed powders so he gave me a sample. It is quite rare but I have seen it in some organic stores here in Spain selling it and I'm sure if you look on Amazon or google you can find a seller for blue spirulina. It's not a special cosmetic grade one or anything.

Thank you so much, that’s really sweet of you to say! 🥰

Hey Magdoline! Thank you so much and I’m happy you find the content useful ☺️

Yes exactly! So your oils, butters and fatty alcohols should not exceed 30% of the formulation

Hello from Spain ❤️ thank you so much for the tip, I have never heard of Olivem Feel before! :)

it is a co emulsifier, to soften the formulations! and what about olivem 900 for W/O emulsions? So easy to work with! I don't work for the company 😂, just DIY for myself... in Brazil it is not aproved for one to sell DIY cosmetics, because of the sanitary laws...to much burocracy and $$$...

Oh no KZbin didn’t show me your response!! I’ll have to try it if I can find it, none of my suppliers in Europe have it…. It’s a shame that it’s not so easy to start your own business in Brazil 😢

I hope you can find it! try to look for info about olivem feel at Google... perhaps you can by it at internacional stores... it is worth it! I diy for family only... thank you for the feedback! 😊

Thank you!! ☺️

Thank you!! I'm so happy you found me :) Many kisses back from Spain ☀❤

Thank you! ☺️

Thank you and enjoy! 😊

No soaping but yes it is a bit oily. Good for very dry skin in winter but it seems you want something lighter 😉 I recommend you try the exfoliating lotion. You can leave out the ACB Fruitmix if you don’t want this ingredient, then you just have a light lotion. I am working on a light aloe vera lotion with no soaping and it will come out soon ♥️

I used olive squalane but it should be the same if not better with Neossance :) Yes it can be bit greasy because it’s a lot of oils in it but I find it nicer than using 100% oils because of the Sucragel. It also absorbs quite fast into the skin

I used SqualAne (with an A) and not SqualEne by the way, because it’s more stable than squalene especially with the sun

@@OrganicAlchemist yeh on lotioncrafter , it have squalane by a but have two types , olive and neoessence . So i asked which one of them 🥲♥️

Yes it’s possible! It will emulsify faster upon contact with water on your lips so be aware of this. I always apply this product at night and my lips are very hydrated the next day. A little goes a long way with this one! 😉

You can try 0.3% xanthan gum. It’s not my favourite in terms of texture but it’s wonderful at stabilising and since you would be using less of it I think the texture will be alright 🙂

On my blog you can find the formula and adjust the quantities: www.organicalchemist.net/blog/cream-cleanser 300g is quite a lot lol so try out 50-100g first :)

It’s definitely not lightweight like a lotion but 2-3 minutes after applying the skin feels soft and not greasy. If you find it too greasy you could always decrease the mango butter and increase the oil % instead. Hope you give it a try and let me know what you think 😊

@@OrganicAlchemist so , greasy effect by mango butter not montanov 68 ? I thought that by mantanov so asked you pretty 🥹♥️and if i use oil instead butter , this won’t affect stability of emulsifier ?

Montanov 68 is used to make richer creams yes but in itself it doesn't feel so greasy. You could only use oil but then you won't have this texture. Mango Butter and Glyceryl Stearate is most likely contributing to greasiness. The formula still has 61% water so definitely feels lighter than other body butters. Give it a try then you can adjust to your liking! :)

@@OrganicAlchemist yes pretty i luv u do much thanks for answering me , am gonna try this soon 🥹♥️

@@OrganicAlchemist the last question,🥲 what’s your opinion if i replace mango butter by lightweight oil and use this formula as buttery body lotio ?♥️

Hey, sure! The formula is always linked in the description box: www.organicalchemist.net/blog/emulsified-body-butter

Where are you based? Then I can try and see what you have available :) What do you mean by scented expressions in VA?

Thank you 😊 oh it should work, I tested it with a few people 🤔 Have you checked in the spam folder? Please let me know otherwise I fix it!

@@OrganicAlchemist Yes, I checked spam folder but nothing in there.

​ @earth_girl oh so sorry about that! It seems there is a technical error with some emails which I will get fixed. In the meantime please send me an email at [email protected] and I will forward you the link. Thank you.

@@OrganicAlchemist I've just sent an email - thank you!

Hello.. i have the same issue. Tried it twice and there was nothing in the junkmail.

I answered on the other video now :)

@@OrganicAlchemist yeh am the same person but thinking you won’t answer on old videos but you did it, you are amazing🥹♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

​@@nadamahmoud7381 No I do! Sometimes I'm just slow or KZbin doesn't show me some replies so don't hesitate to reach out or remind me ☺Hope you enjoy the body shimmer!

@@OrganicAlchemist thanks so so much 🥹♥️♥️♥️

Sorry dear for the slow reply! Oh it really depends on the pump bottle but I think in most cases it will be too thick for it. A jar is safer!

@@OrganicAlchemist if i make it more smoothy by sucragel to put it in pump glass it will distrust the stability of it or i can do this ? and how can i do that please 🥲♥️ am sorry for many questions i really luv u and your recipes and i will do it soon ♥️♥️♥️

​@@nadamahmoud7381 Don't worry I love questions ❤ Now I just remembered that I did try a sucragel product in a pump many years ago!!! This one: iplusm.berlin/produkt/gel-to-milk-cleanser-anspruchsvolle-haut/ It was even a bit thicker than my shimmer gel so no need to make it thinner (it might make the product more unstable correct) Some people were complaining that it was hard to use the end of the product but other than that it worked fine!

@@OrganicAlchemist appreciate your effort to answer me , many more thanks sweet ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🥹

You're very welcome! :) <3

Thank you so much ♥️

Thank you so much! 💜 Maybe one day yes, for now I have other exciting content lined up 😊

Yes Lotion Crafter has it! :) lotioncrafter.com/products/surfpro-aof
