Hi Elise! Thank you so much for your wonderful videos! I love your tutorials :) I do have a question about the Avocado Butter. I am finding it very difficult to locate here in Australia. Am I able to use Avocado oil instead or does it really need to have that solid oil in it to set up properly? Thank you

[@TheDaddyVampBabyVampChannel]

Hey! I think if you find a similar lightweight butter that would work. Mango butter is extremely light with a 0 on the comedogenic scale. I’ve used that in our professional hair butters- you’ll be happy with that if you have it. You could also search ‘lightest botanical butters’ and some alternatives will pop up.

[@gizemcansucu3800]

Hi Elise! I just found, fell in love and subscribed to your channel 😍 In my country I can’t find avocado butter and I don’t wanna use shea butter instead because of all the reasons you mentioned 😊 Which substitute would you recommend? Would avocado oil work the same way? TIA! Kisses ♥️♥️♥️

Aww love to see it! So glad there's a bunch of tutorials that interest you. Absolutely! It's a broad-spectrum preservative so it should work just fine. I'd always recommend using what you have first before buying if it's not essential 😊💚

What makes my skin radiant is the littlllexttra riceberry face serum and moisturizer kit. I put it on every day, twice a day, and it adds a glow and keeps my skin hydrated.

[@saludosalsol]

You can just replace the coconut oil with another butter or oil

[@annetteasbury7415]

Uuuuugh! I wish I could say that this worked for me but it was a major fail! I was so anxious to try it that I used mango butter because I don't have avocado butter yet. I also don't have the emulsifying wax yet, so I used BTMS -50 instead. It took about an hour before it actually thickened to the consistency of a milkshake. I guess I'll just have to be patient and wait for the ingredients you used. The good news is that it actually feels good in my hair and I love the fragrance I chose.

[@annetteasbury7415]

Update: I guess I just didn't wait long enough. It's actually thicker now. Yaaaay! Thank you Elise!

[@wahyuyudien]

Auto subscrabe,👍👌 chanel yg sangat menginspirasi, mau bertanya, apakah ingrediens ini boleh dijadikan pomade?

[@gabrielmachinda5013]

great video...i could be doing something wrong.my cream doesn't really moisturize my hair ,it literally sits on my hair making it all white. Could it be the emulsifier that i am using..i used pola wax

[@WholeElise]

Thank you! If you're having problems with absorption it's possible you have low porosity hair so dampening your hair to lift the cuticle layer will make it easier to for the cream to sink in. Whilst I haven't personally used polawax as an emulsifier it shouldn't cause any issue with the product penetration, however, if it wasn't completely melted before you added it to the water phase it will have a visible residue in the final cream. I hope that helps 😊

[@kpakorcynthia9257]

I love your videos am new here, dear i have pimples and acne so please can you recommend cream or anything that can help clear it.

Hi Elise I would love to try this recipe but can you help with the recipe in a total of 100g

[@WholeElise]

The recipe is for 200g but it is a little tricky in getting it down to 100 because not all the measurements neatly divide by 2. But the values are flexible as long as it adds up to 100, so feel free to round up or down as necessary. Whenever scaling recipes most important thing is just to make sure that you calculate your preservative accurately according to its percentage guidelines 😊💚

[@jessicafelix2946]

Hi Elise. I bought the exact same preservative and would love to make this recipe exactlyas you did. Can you tell me the exact amount I need to put in ?

[@kierahunter777]

Can you use sweet almond oil? Struggling to find almond oil!

[@WickedWordzz]

It's the same thing 😊

[@lindagordon981]

Love the recipe.❤ I have very fine hair and definitely need something that won't weigh my hair down. Just one thing, I've heard that glycerine is great for hair in the winter but not much during the summer as the heat will leech the glycerine from your hair making it dry. Is this true??? Also, do you have a liquid diy hair moisturizer recipe for everyday use. Currently I'm using glycerine/water while it's still cold but thinking of doing a jojoba/water combination for the summer months and depending on how well it works might stick with jojoba indefinitely.

[@viviansnarrative5026]

Plz can the preservative be used in orher homemade products such flaxseed gel and aloe vera gel as well. Also where can one buy this preservative? Thanks

[@WholeElise]

Hi Vivian, natural preservative are more temperamental than synthetic ones might struggle to preserve food type ingredients like aloe & flaxseed gels. I haven't tried personally but I'd recommend that you blend the aloe in a high speed blender and then strain to make sure there are no lumps before added a preservative. You might need to use a different one then mine that is better suited for gels but I got my preservative from a site called LotionCrafter 💚

[@dariennekabengele9277]

Hey can I use honey and aloe vera gel or water as an additional products

[@llonfolosakko2488]

Hi, I would like to know if it is compatible with the eco styler gel, I hope you have time to reply to me, thank you

[@SpoiledLocGurl]

Not sure how this turns out so well for you. I've made two batches and messes up oil and shea butter. Everytime I mix it with the water it separates everything despite using the emulsifier. Once it starts to cool I'm left with cottage cheese looking mixture. Going to have to try another recipe cause this doesn't work well at all

[@santoshaseri5857]

This formula for 250gm but not add preservative weight in this Why ?

[@esmacrafts3702]

I have done this. YAY!!!!! Minor tweaks: (1) Used 20g Shea butter instead of avocado butter, then 5g avocado oil. and (2) Moringa powder in place of colloidal oats. (3) Tea tree and Rosemary EOs. Turned out nicely. Thanks so much for this recipe.

[@paulonicagrimes6631]

Good morning, Do you sell the hair cream moisturizer?

[@lynnemarie7885]

I am really excited for this recipe. I am so so scent sensitive, so even though I love how shea butter works, I can not tolerate the shea butter smell. So looking forward to this. Maybe just a quick heads-up: is the scent rather neutral? I am thinking avocado butter is probably pretty odour free, right? Wonderful channel, your success is deserved!

[@coriebarnes8680]

Yes, avocado butter has a neutral scent. And you can also try Mango Butter. Cupuacu Butter is Amazing for your skin and hair, but it smells like cocoa or chocolate. So it might not be what you want to use.

[@coriebarnes8680]

No, you need a butter. So choose another butter that you have on hand. (obviously not shea butter because the goal is a light cream, not a heavy one) But maybe Mango or Cupuacu Butter. You sub butters with butters and oils with oils. You can't interchange them. They both have different properties that makes the formula work
