Love these 'older' tutorial style of yours. Simple, no music, relaxed.

[@fabricatedreality8218]

I finally decided which recipe to make first, you have so many that it's hard to decide. I made the creamy clay cleansing balm and I do like it and definitely going to make it again. I'm going to donate to your pay pal because you certainly deserve it. I hope you people are helping this girl out for giving us all of these beautiful recipes

I thought 1% means literally nothing, but when i see how much of 1% is, it's really something!

It depends on your batch size bro. U have to find the % of the batch size u making 1st then convert to g. Hope this helps

LOVE this! This is one of my favorite ingredients for skincare. I have made one recently with three different weights of HA! Low molecular weight, High molecular weight, and extra low molecular weight. I have made one with just the HMW and LMW and like it just as much; I will likely stick to just those two in the future!

[@cherrygingham]

Hooray for HA! Really looking forward to seeing how you incorporate it into your recipes. Is there a reason you don't stir it initially? I hydrate the powder in layers sprinkling the powder over a small amount of water creates a kind of film and I add a little more water on top then sprinkle more powder and it seems to hydrate in just an hour or so.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I didn't want to lose any HA to my stirring implement-stuff's expensive! I like the sounds of your method, I'll have to try it next time!

[@RubinaSkincare]

I was running a test case and so used the hyaluronic on dry skin and it completely dried out my skin! i erroneously imagined that it would still act as a humectant when applied to dry skin. Learnt the hard way that it doesnt :( Its interesting though that despite its mega humectant properties it pulls moisture from the skin in such a situation.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

It sounds like you should add some occlusion to your routine! Humectants are fabulous, but they need some backup or they will just eventually evaporate. Have you tried applying a 1% hyaluronic acid solution and then topping it with an oil serum or even some vaseline?

[@RubinaSkincare]

@@HumblebeeAndMe thank you for replying. Yes, subsequently that's exactly what i did. But i haven't hit the right proportion yet as it's still quite noticeably drying. Will keep you posted.

Is hyaluronic acid serum and gel the same thing essentially with the difference being consistency?

[@maa25608]

Hai, you can mix HA with little vegetable glycerin and make like a slime and then mix with water. So it will dissolve fast no need to wait for 10 hrs .

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Totally, but then you have glycerin in your stock, and I want it to be as plain as possible for inclusion in other products :)

[@annieziokike1477]

this video was very helpful! I was wondering do you have one for Vitamin C serum with preservative? I was hoping to make one with a pure oil and some preservative to elongate the life of it at least one more month

[@SammieSunshineC]

Hi, although I am not affiliated with this channel, I can tell you that you will need to stabilize your vitamin C serum to increase the life shelf, as vitamin C oxidizes at a fairly quick rate. You can use Leucidal SF complete as a preservative, there are other great preservatives you can research! To stabilize, use ferulic acid, and pure vitamin E. Water is a solvent for Vitamin C, but not for ferulic acid. So, if you buy ferulic acid in powder form, make sure you get an appropriate solvent (there are different kinds you can research). Also, you will have to emulsify the Vitamin E, as vitamin E typically comes in oil form. You can buy an electric emulsifier, or you can get these really cool emulsifying wax beads that do the job for you. Make sure your Vitamin C serum makes very little contact with light. Store it in a dark bottle and keep in the fridge. Also order some PH test strips. Vitamin C, being an acid, can really irritate the skin (ever got lemon juice on a cut? ouch). You can manipulate the PH level simply with baking soda, but there are other things to balance ph that offer benefits for your skin as well. Hope this helps!

[@annieziokike1477]

@@SammieSunshineC Thank you so much! I'm wondering if you would know how much Emulsifying Wax I would need for it to ensure it still remained in a serum formulation. Also should I test the pH before or after adding the oils? I know I should get a pH between 2.5-3.5 but was unsure if that is with or without the oils added.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I don't. LabMuffin has a simple one, and The Acid Queen has a complex one-google either name with "vitamin C serum" and they should pop up :) Happy making!

[@dofjer]

Hello Marie. I'm guessing you used the acid with high molecular size. The ones with a lower molecular size don't make thick solutions even with up to 5%. So do you prefer this one? Have you used the other one?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

This is low molecular weight, which I do cover in the blog (it's worth clicking through, I promise!). I haven't been able to try any other size as LMW is all I've found in Canada. It seems like the research supports LMW or ELMW as the best weight for hydration without potential irritation: simpleskincarescience.com/hyaluronic-acid-for-skin/.

[@rraptor158]

@@HumblebeeAndMe My understanding is that low weight molecular size creates an inflammatory response. So while it sounds nice that something is penetrating your skin with Hyaluronic Acid you want a heavy weight that'll only sit on your skin. Other skin care products can penetrate for whatever benefits but not this one. Have you heard of any such research since posting this video?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I have at least one plastic funnel and I use it, too. I wouldn't recommend pouring a super hot balm through any funnel because it'll solidify on/in the funnel and clog it-I typically only use funnels for liquids and other things that aren't going to solidify too much. If you need a funnel to pour something into a container, that means the container has a small opening, like a bottle... not great for things that become very solid ha.

Hi I want to make this hyaluronic acid solution but Can i use iscaguard peg as a preservative? (PHENOXYETHANOL, TRIETHYLENE GLYCOL) Description is FORMULATION GUIDELINES pH (effective range) 3 - 9 Solubility (Water) 2.6 % Solubility (Glycols) Soluble Maximum Process Temperature 80 °C GENERAL INFORMATION Iscaguard PEG is compatible with most personal care ingredients. In aqueous formula- tions, heating to 40°C may be required in order to fully dissolve the preservative. So can i use this preservative what will be the procedure i have to heat the water phase or i can use it directly? Or i can use only phenoxyethanol as a preservative?
