[@maishabotanicals6753]

could this formula also be used as a creamy face wash?

[@aprilfraize2168]

Yes please do a video on explaining surfactants! 🤞

[@ALB2574]

Just bought african black soap paste. Can you please do a video using this product.

[@makgotsomarokoane7537]

Hi Elise. Thank you so much for the amazing content. Can this be used as a hand wash?

[@thembimngomezulu5752]

Thank you for this Whole Elise!!! Can we leave out the oil phase to make an oil free body wash?

[@xio8487]

THIS!!!! You are the reason KZbin should been a thing. True free education

[@alwyngreen7205]

I’d recommend the preservative Nipaguard I use CA/20 But I made a magnesium Lotion and used beeswax n it turned out perfect. I’d be more then happy to share my recipe.

[@ivorybryan3261]

Share it.

[@sensimania]

Yes please

[@_axbxi]

Thanks for the tips and tricks. I have a question, what resources do you use to familiarize yourself with the ingredients and recipes you make? Are there any books you recommend or articles that I’d be able to do research as well? I’m really interested in looking more into how and why all of these ingredients react to each other and their effects and benefits on our skin 😁

[@sairasalim6738]

I need it too😶

[@yvettebooth67]

Hello Elise I love looking forward to seeing your videos. They are very enjotable and informative too. I would like to know more about natural surfactants. Thank you again for great videos.

[@janetmartin136]

Hi Elise, thanks for sharing this wonderful video. I did try it but it didn't turn out well🤣. Not much lather. I printed the recipe from your website and followed that. The website stated 20g of cocamidopropyl betaine. However the video states 60g. I guess this is why it didn't lather well. Could you, or anyone else who has tried it confirm if it's 20g or 60g. Many thanks and keep them coming XxX

[@charteasecrittendon-charst5172]

Hello! I tried this last night and it didn't lather at all🥴

[@kimberlyarmstrong6866]

Would love to see a video on the different surfactants

[@MakeupbyTrish]

I’d love a video on surfactants I’ve tried making body wash and have not had much luck lol

[@monikathomas4985]

Your voice sounds so divine on this 🤤🤤

[@annetteasbury7415]

Ok, dumb question. Can you use this formula as a shampoo? I did that and it's a great shampoo! It gave my hair a lot of body and moisture. It felt great!

[@bibianesproule5876]

Thank you Elise, lovely creation, great job, really enjoy your explanations!🤗

[@WholeElise]

You are so welcome! 😊

[@farrahc7055]

Mmmm, this looks very moisturising, my skin just might love it.🤗 11.10.2020

[@abigailokutu9221]

I wanna suggest you make an exfoliating body wash as well....for keratosis pilaris

[@anacatarinaferreira5108]

Hello! Found you recently and love your videos and explanations! Already following you! Yes, please, tell us more about surfactants.

[@WholeElise]

Aw thank you! 😊

[@mndlessdrwer]

Cetearyl alcohol is a fun ingredient, because it can be used as an additional emulsifier but it is also frequently used as a pearlizing agent, since it typically makes the emulsion semi-opaque and a pearly white (before you add in anything with some color, such as a cold-pressed carrier oil or pigments.) Apparently allantoin can also do this, though I use it because it helps prevent irritation while stimulating cell turnover. I do think that I need to change my carrier oil, as I suspect that my skin doesn't agree with jojoba oil very well. Interesting things to note: colloidal oatmeal is often included not because it is beneficial on its own, but because it acts similarly to both a hydrolyzed protein and also as a humectant to hold both moisture and other active ingredients to the skin. It's also useful as a thickener and as an additional emulsifier. Pretty cool stuff, and broadly considered to be hypoallergenic, so it won't cause irritation. I don't have any at the moment, so I've been using hydrolyzed silk protein powder for a similar effect. If you don't like the mucilaginous texture that xanthan gum can sometimes provide, you can opt for any number of other hydrocolloidal emulsifiers such as gum arabic (acacia gum) or carrageenan. Various lecithin sources are also an option, with soy lecithin being by far the cheapest. Depending on your skin type, you may want to skip the emulsifying wax, but it does help to make a more stable emulsion that doesn't separate easily. Overall, this is a very solid recipe for a relatively basic soothing body wash. I would opt for a different carrier oil, personally, because I strongly dislike shea butter and olive oil in my skin care. My skin just doesn't appreciate them and I'm not hugely fond of the scent. I've tried jojoba oil and it also isn't ideal for my needs (I suspect that the waxy ester content is too high for my skin's needs so it dries before my skin can absorb it properly), so I'll probably switch over to an even lighter oil like camellia seed oil, possibly mixed with rose hip oil. I'm still learning and trying to find what works best with my skin and whether or not it is legitimately possible to create a body wash that can handle all of my basic skin care needs, since I'm too lazy and forgetful to handle a proper skin care regimen.

[@kierakeller7396]

I want to make this but I want it to be a lot thicker. Closer to Dove body wash.

[@domingosantiago4813]

Omg when you said Oat you caught my Attention it’s so hard to find high concentration colloidal oat body wash that is formulated good oat & Shea together is heaven on the skin 😍

[@shrutiagrawal1162]

After using stick blender there is thick foam, how can reduce that. It is already 3rd day but the air bubbles are still there

[@FitriNazli]

Hi, your above ingredients is for 240ml. You put 60g cocam and 60g decyl but at your website measurement for 240ml is 72g decyl and 24 cocam. Which one true?

[@ameri117]

I absolutely love your videos! You explain everything so well. Where can we buy the container you used for the finished product?

[@JL-Breaks]

Omg I made this and it’s amazzzzzzing. I am shook!!! So creamy and luxurious and thickened perfectly. Thank you for another winner Elise!!

[@Annybee28]

Hi elise!!! Thank you for this awesome video. I just tried your recipe and when i added the same surfactants to the water (i used hibiscus water), it turned brown and then green?! Im not sure what i’m doing wrong… any tips?! Ive searched everywhere

[@blondescorpion8940]

Your channel is awesome! you’re voice is calming and you’re so beautiful!

[@joyemery9384]

Do you think you could do a dupe version of Olay’s cocoa butter + sugar body wash and scrub, please! That would be awesome 💓 love your videos

[@emmaagbley4002]

Can you please share the ingredients and its percentage usage? I'd really love to try your recipe at home❤❤❤❤

This is beautiful, do a whipped creamy soap plzzzz

Thank you!

Dear Elise: if i cannot get Decyl Glucoside.. what can i use?

[@jessicavaladez4105]

What is olive emulsifier and where can I buy ? Can I replace with something else ?

[@sujatabiswas4197]

Pls do make video on different types of surfactant available.. at times it gets confusing. Lots of love♥️ your videos are amazing and very insightful ✨

[@shayladavis6356]

Hey is this safe for babies as well ?

[@Nyka2004]

Hi! Olive emulsifier is the same as olivem 1000? Can I don't use Cetyl Alcohol? And finally can I use cosgard as preservative, is what I have? Thanks so much for this formula. 😊

[@WholeElise]

Hi Maria, they're both olive-derived but Olivem 1000 is a particular brand of emulsifier - you should be able to use either in this recipe. As mentioned, the recipe in the video doesn't include cetyl alcohol so you can just follow the tutorial's instructions. I haven't used cosgard but if it's a broad-spectrum preservative it can be used here but please follow it's direction on how much you'll need to add. Hope that helps 😊

[@Nyka2004]

@@WholeElise thanks so much for you support. 😊

[@anastasiabarbadonis498]

@@WholeElise greetings from Australia! Could I sub olive m with ritamulse scg .. would it be the same percentage amount . Love your channel

[@shrutiagrawal1162]

Hey, can we replace emulsifying wax with stearic acid and gms?

[@jennifersmith3205]

I love your videos and recipes, just wish they weren't so complicated. I'd love to start making my own washes and shampoos but everything needs sooooo many ingredients. It's disheartening 😔😕

[@WholeElise]

Hi Jennifer, I completely understand! This particular recipe builds on ingredients and information that I've used in my other DIYs but essentially we're just modifying a basic lotion recipe. I've tried to build my tutorials so that they start off simpler and gradually get more advanced so that you can learn with me - it might be worth checking out my first lotion: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5Czo6KBo7CalcU and cleanser DIYs as they're great introductions. Once you feel more comfortable you can work your way up to more ambitious projects. I do also give more detail on my website so hope that helps too: wholeelise.com/blog/oil-free-face-cleanser/ But don't lose heart and thanks for watching 💚

[@heidicroucher]

I think your recipes are super simple! I'm only missing around 4-6 ingredients to be able to make EVERYTHING on your list since so many of these have room for substitutions. 😁 I can tell that you try SO hard to keep it as simple as possible while STILL making sure your products are BETTER than store bought quality AND staying as natural as possible. These are amazing! I can't get enough. You are the perfect median to all the DIYers on the internet!

What is the link for the measuring cups ?

I love this!!!!!!!♥️Can we leave out the oil phase?

[@eluwahamarachi]

Can Castile soap be used instead of the surfactant mentioned?

[@aprilfraize2168]

Hi! I recently made this shower wash. I'm not a fan of the smell the cetyl alcohol gives it. Even after adding essential oils, I can still smell the cetyl alcohol a bit. Is it necessary to use it or can I leave it out? Otherwise, I really love the consistency and feel of th body wash.

[@empresssausetalkebulan2398]

Greetings. Wholeelise, I made this same creamy bodywash and the smell really through me off. Decyl Glucoside smells like metal...I cannot use it. Wholeelise, do you have any idea what I did wrong. I followed your video instructions.

[@ainemccorry6763]

Thank you Elise. Looks like a wonderfully cleansing yet gentle formula. I have been following you for a while and now a subscriber. Best of luck with this channel!
