Hi instead of 2g oats can I substitute it with licorice powder.

How to thicken this cream? Mine became flowy.

[@valbrooks2699]

You are absolutely beautiful!

[@theasianwitch]

Thank you so much for this recipe! Making my first ever face cream now, thank you Elise :)

[@suffak8]

I know I’m very tardy to the party, but if you happen to see this Elise, can you tell me if I could add Vitamin C powder into the water phase? Also, would Euxyl 9010 PE be a good substitute preservative? I don’t have Leuicidal at the moment, but I have optiphen, optiphen plus, & Euxyl 9010 PE. I can adjust the amounts in the formula, I just need to sub the preservative and add vitamin c. I’m a fairly advanced skincare DIYer :) thanks for all of your lovely recipes, and your excellent content!

Funny thing is i was just thinking the same thing and looked at the comments and saw your comment

You m’lady have the most elegant vibes ever

[@WholeElise]

Wow you're so sweet, thank you! 😅😊

[@laurasaunders-calvert6576]

This moisturiser is sooooo nice 👌 The texture of it feels so high end!! My husband even commented that he's only felt this kind of texture in a moisturiser from Clarins. (Yes my husband moisturises too!) AND it leaves your skin feeling silky smooth and so easy to make. I'm so impressed Elise, you're some kind of genius 😇🙌

[@WholeElise]

Thank you so much for this Laura, that's such high praise! I know I make tutorials but I always get really touched when you guys actually try the recipes at home and love them as much as I do! Haha, a true man moisturises! 😂 Thanks for letting me know, really made my day! 😊💚

[@stac334stacey7]

How did you get yours to whip up? Mine is still a liquid after whipping for like 10 minutes. Help! 😭

[@laurasaunders-calvert6576]

@@stac334stacey7 you may just need to leave it to cool. If it's still really warm it'll stay fairly liquid. It may take a few times of whipping it then leaving it to cool some more before you get the consistancy you want.

[@stac334stacey7]

THANK YOU!!! Did you hear it for 20 minutes? My okl phase meted in like 10

[@AnaS-vz2ck]

How did you measure the ingredients, in grams or ml? 6 grams of butter for me was add and add and add so the scale could read 6 gr plus on top of the beaker grams

[@WholeElise]

Have you tried making your own face cream?? Let me know if you give this a try 💚

[@tanekamorning3661]

Hi Elise! I TRIED to make this today but the consistency was not like yours. It was a little more runny. Don't know what caused that, maybe my measurements were off. Can I have too much of something? Other than that, I think it came out ok. I will start using it tomorrow.

[@ayshaevans6495]

Taneka Morning I had the same issue idk where I went wrong

[@andreyonnahuggins5413]

Can I add the preservative earlier or would it need to be done at the end only ?

[@shalomruth4332]

What else can I use apart from wax if I can't find it here in my home town?

[@JL-Breaks]

I made this and it’s awesome!!! I used optiphen as my preservative. I’ve definitely spent money on less quality stuff. It’s nice and light and great for summer!!

[@JL-Breaks]

I made this and its the bomb and I am a person who drops $$$ on skincare (some people its shoes, some its makeup, for me its skincare/moisturizers). This is definitely nicer than many things I have paid a good chunk of money for. Its nice and light, non greasy, and perfect for summer. I made two batches of this. One batch I used oatmilk as the liquid content and some zinc oxide. Both are beautiful The second one came out as a whipped consistency. Thank you so much, Elise. You really have an amazing channel. Im doing the heavier winter moisturizer on your website today.

[@gorgelicious24]

Omg her face is so full and lifted! Voice is just calming

[@JL-Breaks]

I just had to pop on here and say Ive been making soap for 20 years and always wanted to try emulsifications. Ive read many books, etc. But this by FAR is the clearest most concise set of instructions I have seen yet. Your website is also amazing. Also your voice is so soothing! Great job and THANK YOU! I will be making a variation of this with oatmilk and sunflower oils.

[@wandertobeaches7778]

Everything about this is so relaxing and informative. If anyone needs me, I’ll be binging the whole channel

[@jaisparks6091]

Tried this recipe and love it. I subbed avocado butter for Shea Butter since that's what I had and plus my face loves Shea. I still found it to be a light face cream and very moisturizing. Love the texture as well. Thank you so much

[@gloriamurugik]

You have really helped me start my own business and I cannot thank you enough

[@fatsnowdog4173]

Hows that going so far?

[@toniatfort56]

I must say you are good at what you do. You know how to pass information. I subscribed immediately after watching just one of your videos. Thanks for sharing such valuable information.

[@anyag4945]

This moisturizer is incredibly light and airy. Since I want a thicker consistency, this was a great jumping off point for my continued experiments making moisturizer incorporating water.

[@nessamarie003.]

Holy hell!! I gathered all the ingredients (patiently waited nearly a month for everything to come in). Suuuuper skeptical. This friggin face cream feels so damn good!! It made alot more than I thought. I love this channel and have made other things, never thought a homemade facial cream could feel so great!! Thank you so much!!

[@barbarabrkljaca3678]

I made this cream today and I just love it...I gave it to my boyfriend,sister, and friends... It is awesome! Really easy to make it. Thank you 🥰

[@stac334stacey7]

How did you get it to whip up?

[@Leo-eb1wl]

Her voice makes me fall into a deep trance and I find myself having to go back to the start and I took in nothing.

[@theasianwitch]

This recipe contains too much water...I ended up doubling my avocado butter and emulsifying wax to get it to a face cream consistency because at first it was way too watery even after cooling in the fridge for hours. I love the colloidal oatmeal addition though, it makes for a beautiful cream! Next time I will halve my water content.

[@yonikki]

I'm having the same issue :(

[@taungitaylor7208]

I was recently diagnosed with Scleroderma and my skin is in bad shape. It is very dry and I am afraid to use anything that is store bought. I came across your page and I must say I am very impressed with it. I was doing a little research myself and was wondering if you can do a recipe for a body moisturizer using African black soap? I read that it is a good moisturizer for very dry skin.

[@WholeElise]

Hi Taungi, thank you so much! I completely understand wanting full transparency when it comes to your skincare products - especially when you have sensitive conditions! I actually haven't tried mixing cleansing agents with moisturising products (other than using colloidal oatmeal in my lotions). But I do regularly use African Black soap, so it's definitely something I'd be open to doing videos on in the future - thanks for letting me know 😊💚

[@geminibykda4914]

Unrelated question, my friend was recently diagnosed with schleroderma and her doctor said there's no treatment for it. Can you share any advice, tips or treatments that help the condition and if you know of any cure? Bless you x

[@taungitaylor7208]

@@geminibykda4914 I am currently doing PUVA LIGHT THERAPY twice a week. I've been doing this for about 2 years now and a little bit of color has come back. I use a lot of moisturizer for my skin and try to avoid direct sunlight as much as possible. Unfortunately one of side effects that bother me most is the Raynards, numbing or tingling in my feet and hands. I try to do a lot of reading and researching to see if there are any new breakthroughs, and found out that the FDA approved a new class of meds called JAK Inhibitors. The results sound promising but the side effects are very dangerous, in my opinion. The only other thing I do regularly is pray.

[@geminibykda4914]

@@taungitaylor7208 thanks a lot for this. I wish you a speedy recovery. Do you've systemic schleroderma by any chance? And did you have any functional issues like fingers unable to extend and staying in this claw position. If yes, is there any treatment for it? Thanks a lot again. I appreciate your time.

[@taungitaylor7208]

@@geminibykda4914 yes I have systemic scleroderma. Quite often my fingers will turn like white or even a grayish purple color and I can't feel them my feet will do the same but not as often. My face and hands are swollen all the time, I have what's called salt and pepper discoloration patches on my arms and chest, the one on my chest looks like a butterfly. There is a little discoloration on my face but it has improved some since starting the light therapy. I have to get a PFT(Pulmonary Function Test) for my lungs done every 6 months, blood work every 4 months to make sure my liver and kidneys are still functioning well, and lastly I have to have my mouth measured to make sure the skin on my face still has some elasticity to it. I also have RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis). This has been a tough journey for me but I take things one day at a time. Here is the strange thing about how I ended up with this. I stressed myself to the point I caused my immune system to turn on itself. No one in my family has this.
