How to Formulate a Simple Face Moisturizer; For Beginners

[@ateneaflorescastillo]

I am a beginner. I have made this cream three times and it has always come out very well. I have watched hundreds of videos and yours are the best by far. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes!

[@roopashree9217]

Does it feel oily nand greasy on the skin? I have oily skin

[@IshaRamzan-t8d]

Which ingredients u used ?.could u mention here plz

[@rhondarose457]

This totally changed my sons and my life! As Estheticians, we are taught what ingredients do, but not how to put them together! LOVE this! “Thank you “ just isn’t saying enough!!

[@jasmendez0423]

I couldnt have said this better. I have been wanting to make my own moisturizer but wasnt sure where to start because like you said we as estheticians know what the ingredients do but not how to put them together.

This video and the gel based moisturizer gave me the inspiration to write my own formulation and now I’m in love. YOU are so amazing!!!

[@transform6833]

Simply cannot thank you enough for that life saving video, I have watched so many videos but that's the only one that dive in simply and clearly, to really grasp it. So happy i found your channel looking forward for more basics educational videos. highly appreciated your truly shearing the basic understanding.

My skin is so sensitive, i literally cannot use anything on the shelf and I’m not being dramatic. I started making my own cause of watching you and others make lotion and it literally saved my skin.

[@kereiceforbes995]

Your videos are amazing , the have helped me to understand formulation and be able to start my own company👍

[@darkmoonesscentuals2]

Tara, a few questions. 1st how did you figure out how much water you need? 2nd can you please explain why there has to be so much water. You're fantastic most the time for explaining 😁 but I'd love to know those 2 things. Thanks!!!

[@TaraLeee]

so for example, if you click this link here - lotioncrafter.com/products/emulsifying-wax-nf-lotioncrafter this is a listing for emulsfiying wax nf and if you click on the formulation guide it says the following; Recommended Use Rate: 2-25%, usually 3-5% for lotions and 5-10% for creams. so this way you know if you are making a lotion you need 3-5% of the emulsifying wax. & since a lotion is a water based product the rest of the ingredients have to be water. obviously like I said in this video, you can add carrier oils, emollients, humectants, hydrosols, aloe vera, extracts, and of course you have to have your preservative. but you need a lot of water because a lotion is a water based product. if you add a little less water and more emulsifier it becomes a cream. a lotion is a very light weight moisturizer and a cream is much heavier. There are also body butters which primarily consist of butters and oils (no water) but it is possible to make a body butter with water (which is primarily what I prefer since I like a lighter moisturizer) but that is the beauty of formulating skincare products you get to experiment with different amounts of ingredients and see what you prefer.

[@azulcervantes8840]

Your videos are very informative and I love it it’s perfect for my business I’m starting I had no clue at all what to do and every other KZbin videos I watched on how to make body care and skin care products were so not informative and didn’t explain so I didn’t know what I was putting in my product

[@grannysword]

......Greetings....... ...***Greetings, Beloved of God. This message is lengthy but, it is very important. The ancient Israelite was tested by the Sabbath commandment to see if they would keep God’s law or no in Exodus 16:4- Do not be surprised if God allow man to do a similar test, enforce some type of Sabbath law to see if we will keep His law or no. ************************************************ Right now, we all do not see eye to eye, but, please hear me out.............. There is no way anyone can prove from the KJV Bible that Saturday, Sunday, etc. is the biblical seventh day Sabbaths. For, the words Saturday, Sunday, etc. do not appear in the Bible. A continuous Saturday, Sunday, etc., “man made Sabbaths” ARE NOT the true Bible Sabbaths because they are not calculated by true time. God’s true time is written in Genesis 1:14. When God commanded us to keep a seventh day Sabbath, kill the Passover on the 14th day of the first month, keep the day of atonement on the 10th day of the seventh month, etc......would He not have given us a calendar/Time to find these dates? Yes, He would have and He did, in Genesis 1:14. We are commanded to keep the days, years, etc. by the lights in heaven (the sun, moon and stars.) God did not specify which days, so, we must conclude that He meant for all of His 3 category of days to be kept by the lights in heaven. *********** The Sabbath command is one of the Ten Commandments listed in Exodus 20. It is just as important as the other nine and God commands us to keep it. Multitudes of people think and teach that we are only required to keep 9 of God’s Ten Commandments. My Friend, if we think this way, we are already deceived. ***************************************************************************************************************** ***The Sabbath is a feast. Leviticus 23:1-3 ***The moon is for seasons. Psalms 104:19 ***The lights in heaven are for seasons, etc. Genesis 1:14 ***The words “feast” and “season” comes from the same Hebrew word, MOED. ***MOED is, appointed times, appointments, feast, season, etc. The Sabbath is a MOED, an appointed time , a feast, a season, etc. Therefore, the moon, along with the other lights in heaven, are for Sabbaths. THE SABBATH IS TO BE CALCULATED BY THE TIME GOD ORDAINED IN THE BEGINNING OF CREATION NOT BY MAN’S TIME/CALENDARS. Who can prove from Genesis 1:14 that the Sabbath day is not calculated by the lights in heaven? Although many have tried, it cannot be refuted!! Take a glimpse at the dates in Genesis 7:11 and Genesis 8:4,13,14. Are these dates calculated by the Time God commanded in Genesis 1:14 or by the Gregorian time or some other man made time? ********** There are about 167 countries that keep Sunday as the seventh day and the remaining, approximately, 64 countries keep Saturday as the seventh day. If there is a “seventh day Sunday law” enforced and the remaining 64 countries change their calendars to read Sunday as the seventh day, then, the world will be keeping Sunday the seventh day as the Sabbath. Mon. Tue. Wed. Thur. Fri. Sat. Sunday Law 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7 What day will you and I then keep as the Sabbath? Already today, there are “Sunday Blue Laws” on government books. Man can change “their” time anytime and deceive the world under the leadership of Satan. We must calculate God’s Sabbath by God’s Time so The Great Deceiver can not trick us about the true Sabbath and “cause” us to worship him. “ He will think to change time and laws.” says Daniel 7:25 He only “THOUGHT” to change time when He “supposedly” had replaced God’s calendar with his calendar on earth. For he could not and has not truly change time because God’s Time sits in the heavens where no man can tamper with it! The sun, moon and stars, the lights in heaven, are God’s Time/Calendar. *********** God’s Calendar has three category of days, the new moon day, the six work days and the Sabbath day. 2 Kings 4:18-23 & Ezekiel 46:1-3. The new moon day is the first day of the month, the beginning of months. These days never, ever, ever overlaps each other on God’s Time! ........However, this is not true on the famous Gregorian calendar. The new moon day falls anywhere and everywhere on that calendar, in a given month. For example, sometimes, the new moon day falls on a “man made Saturday Sabbath”, on a “man made Sunday Sabbath”, in the midst of the month, etc. How can it both be the first day of the month and the seventh day Sabbath? How can the first day of the month start in the midst of a month? God said in Genesis 1:14 to, let the lights in heaven be for days, etc. So, which one or ones of God’s three category of days are kept by the lights in heaven? ...The new moon day? ...The six work days? ...The Sabbath day? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Example of God’s months: 1st week... new moon day, six work days and Sabbath day 2nd, 3rd, 4th weeks....six work days and Sabbath day The next month the cycle starts over. God’s months reset. Read Luke 6:1 Man uses this same concept. For example: The 1st and 3rd Sunday in August, the 1st and 3rd Sunday in September.” “The 2nd and 4th Sabbath in April, the 2nd and 4th Sabbath in May.” Note: There is never, never, ever, ever, 5 weekly Sabbaths in any one of God’s months. This is not true on the Gregorian calendar. Sometimes, there are 5 weekly “Gregorian Sabbaths.” This is not in align with true time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I believe there is a great deception coming to get people to worship Satan through a false Calendar/Sabbath controversy. God is a God of truth. God guides people by His truth. God’s Word is truth. Truth is our shield and buckler. Truth will keep us from all deceptions, the mark of beast, etc. Christ did not suffer on the cross for us to walk in a lie and continue to cling to our traditions! He did not die for us to obey the “voice of man” above “the voice of God!” Read the stories about “King Saul” in 1 Samuel 15 and the “man of God” in 1 king 13. Let us learn a lesson from these testimonies....Obey God’s Voice! When we do and teach man’s commandments for doctrine, it is vain! It is useless! God does not honor it! There will be no reward! Again! there is a great possibility some type of “Man made Sabbath Law” could be enforced. These latter days crises seems to be pointing in that direction. If this is not true, then, we do not have to worry about it......But..... ....If it is truth then, we need to become more knowledgeable about this subject in order to make the right decision whom we will honor and serve. A Sabbath test will reveal those who believe Gods Word and those who do not. Whether there is or whether there is not a “Sabbath Test”, we still need to know the truth about God’s Time written in the Word of God so we can be obedient in all things. ***Worship Him that made heaven, earth and sea. ***Babylon is fallen! Babylon is fallen! ***Do not worship the Beast and receive his mark, whosoever does, will be eternal lost and be burnt with fire and brimstone. ****Read Revelation 13 & 14 This truth about God’s Calendar/Time and The Sabbath written in Genesis 1:14, Leviticus 23:1-3, Psalms 104:19, etc.is spreading throughout the four corners of the earth. This message enrages many who claim to be followers of Christ because they can not refute it. It seems, the people outside the church buildings are the ones eagerly accepting it and believing it. Please let us consider what is being said here and further research this important subject before it is to late. Peace and Love Friends of God

Would you add essential oils to the oil phase?? Thanks for the great content!! I’m a beginner and this has been so helpful

[@Greenavery1395]

Allyson Bilodeau EOs are heat sensitive. So they should be going into the cool down phase. And be sure you check out what percentage your EO is allowed to be used for the skin. Some is more than others... and also some can stain skin. So if you didn’t know that, be careful there! (I’m thinking some like Sea Buckthorn Oil, I think that’s a EO - it may just be an oil? I have always been confused with that one.) Have fun with everything you make! 🤗 (I noticed there was quite a bit of hours, so I commented, I hope that’s okay!)

[@anastasiabarbadonis498]

@@Greenavery1395 so if we added an essential lavender oil at 2% where would we take that percentage from , the water content ?. Because it all has to equal 100percent not 102 right? I’m unsure about adding to formulas where you take off from

[@Greenavery1395]

@@anastasiabarbadonis498 yes, think of the distilled water as a bonus but. So if you ever add the formula, take from the distilled water. But of course, make sure you are still able to create what you like. Sometimes if you do not think about the structure of the product you want to make, you can forget how to put it together still. So if there’s more water in a formula… make sure it’s higher in the end result, and so forth. And please remember that every Essential Oil has their own percentage usage. Some can’t be used more than a 1%, whilst others can be!
