How to Make DIY Gentle Calendula Cleansing Oil

[@rodethmorse4701]

I've been making cleansing oils with Olivem 300. What a great idea using e-wax. You are fantastic, smart, and beautiful.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@S_R231]

Great video and instruction. One 'however' is I wish you showed the action of the cleanser being mixed in your palm as an example of what to expect. Love the channel. Bought the book, Apple and will order a physical copy in a jiffy. Thank you Marie for all your hard but happy work

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Definitely check out my recent cleansing balm video for an example of what to expect :) Thanks for watching and buying my book (twice!)!

[@celenahamid8913]

Her skin is so lovely

[@gbarbecue2399]

I made this last night. Worked a dream. Clear easy to follow instructions. Thank you, I really enjoyed making this. The only thing I would change, and that is totally my bad, is I would put the mixture into a more squeezy flip top lid bottle, and not the fancy smancy glass bottle I actually did use.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks for DIYing with me, and happy making :)

[@dianantari8288]

That spontaneous "Come back here." :))

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

😝

[@vikriarevalo4937]

Hiii, if I already have btms50, can I use it instead of the emulsifying wax? Also, if I use polysorbate 80, should it be same amount as the olivem?

[@swinxfee]

My emulsifier and oil seem to separate and i keep needing to shake it a little before using it. Is there a way to keep it from seperating?

[@dakhamilion]

Hi! Thanks for the great video. Can a water soluble extract be added to this recipe considering the added emulsifier?

[@deryaylmaz2663]

Merhaba. Sizi Türkiye'den takip ediyorum. Çalışmalarınızı çok beğeniyorum. Bu çalışmanızda kullandığınız E-wax açılımı nedir. Ben temin etmek istediğimde, hangi isimle satın almalıyım?

[@lindatrucha]

I made this but I used grapeseed oil I love it I just put it straight to my face and I add the water there to make the emulsification but if you put it in your hand is kind of like a gel is not runny is an everyday cleanser.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks for DIYing with me!

[@FadhlahMusiska-rr4xj]

Can I add other some oil like jojoba oil and greentea oil?

[@sealily6015]

lovely presentation. lovely young lady. got all the ingredients so off to make my cleansing oil - thankyou!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thank you! Happy making :)

[@sarahlou5777]

He I have a prodigy which is vegetal alchol and peg 20 stearate do you know if this can be used in this recipe,if so what percentage would I use?

[@evelyneself4938]

Lovely, just made this ,and got rid of some chickweed infused olive oil that was nearly ready to throw away, thank you!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Woo! Enjoy :D

[@pearlchan6254]

Hey, can I use PEG-7 ester because I don't have olivim 300? Thanks 😘

[@hostiles1]

can use OliveM 300 for carrier oil in Oil Cleansing? 🤦‍♂️..

[@mie-ruku1565]

I like using castor oil on my scalp as a pre shampoo treatment, but one thing bugs me: it's really hard to wash off. So I've been wondering if I could just mix in an emulsifier so that it washes off without any problems. If I add this in, is the oil still safe to be left on the hair and scalp for some time before washing?

[@luisajoyy.4366]

Hello! I bought a emulsifying wax but it just wont mix with the oils, what do you suppose the problem might be? 😕 love your chanell!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hi! Do you have the INCI for the emulsifying wax you purchased? It's quite odd that it won't mix with oils 🤔 A lot of different products/ingredients are sold as "emulsifying wax" so knowing exactly what it is will help. I'd also recommend comparing the INCI of what you have to the different emulsifying waxes I have documented in the Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/) :) Fingers crossed we get this sorted!

[@luisajoyy.4366]

@@HumblebeeAndMe Thank you so much for you fast response!

[@sara2k79]

Hi Marie. Do you have a recipe for cleansing oil to use in the shower as a body wash? Thank you.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

There's no reason you couldn't use this in the shower :)

[@adrianeisenman2830]

Can I use Shea 50 in place of Olivem 300? If so, at what rate?

[@dominiquesiwulich4746]

Should have shown using it I wanted to see how well it emulsifies!! Thanks for the video tho

[@Zumazumbai]

Can I leave out the castor oil?

[@mahparafaraz1609]

If gets solidified how can it be marketed?

[@LWLillie1]

Hello... I have everything except Olivem nor polysorbat 80. Can I use cocamidopropyl betaine instead? If so; same amount? If not; leave it out? Thank You!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

You can't use Cocamidopropyl Betaine instead. You'll find the answers you're looking for in the Humblebee & Me Encyclopedia at www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia. Simply look up the ingredients in question to learn about why they are used in formulas, what they do, substitutions, usage rates, and more. Happy making!

[@Precious-lx4xb]

What brand emulsifying wax?

[@irafateeva]

I looove your channel, so helpful and inspiring!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks for watching!

[@heidicroucher]

Do you still recommend this recipe? I've seen you say some from your beginner learning time frame are not recommend anymore AND I've seen you say a few learned warnings about florals... So I'm wondering if this one still has your stamp of approval before I attempt it.

[@walaakomaisip289]

What does emulsifying wax do? Does it clogs pores?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I just shared an entire video on it, please watch that :)

[@nadiamiah9360]

Could you make a calendula toner? Really love the kiehls calendula toner but so expensive! Also (although I avoid being mushy), I feel I have to say a massive thank you for changing my mind about preservatives and emulsifying wax, which I thought were unnecessary in my effort to lead a more 'natural' life. Your videos are real eye opening, mind expanding fonts of information! So thank you!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

The toner looks pretty simple-mostly water with some humectants & botanical extracts :) I will keep it in mind for the future! And thank you so much for your kind words; I'm so thrilled to hear I've helped you learn! :D

[@adrijanacenipoka4506]

Hi dear, you say i can use polysorbat 80.. U mean in same 5 gr of polysorbat 80 instead of olivem...? I didnt work with polysorbat yet so... Can u tell me in what quantaty i use in this recepe

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Yes, you would use the identical amount.

[@Zumazumbai]

can I leave out the essential oil?

[@giordanapucci]

Which emulsifying wax I can use?

[@sanaejudd]

Hello ! I'm french and i'd like to do that recipe ! I don't have the emulsifyer olivem 300 but i have one composed of "Glyceryl stearate citrate, sucrose stearate, polyglyceryl-4-cocoate, cetyl alcohol, sodium ricinoleate" can i use that one ? Also why use an emulsifying wax if there's already an emulsifier (I'm new to the diy skin care thing)

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

You can try it, though I haven't ever worked with that ingredient so I can't offer much guidance. I sometimes like to blend emulsifiers for different end feels :)

[@pamcotterman7073]

Ah-mazing! I actually have 2 jars of calendula infused oil ... and all the other ingredients too! Sounds like a nice cleanser 😎

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks, Pam! Happy making :D

[@maanrebultan2911]

Hello, Humblebee and me! Do I need to put a preservative when using IPM and emulsifying wax to my cleansing oil?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Nope; please read the Preservatives section of the Humblebee & Me FAQ (www.humblebeeandme.com/faq/) to learn more.

[@paz6886]

Is there anything you'd suggest as an alternative to the castor oil? I know there's not really anything that has the same properties, but I'm allergic to castor oil so what would you suggest to replace it? More herb infused oil? Or maybe something else?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Since it's pretty dang unique I'd just use more of the herb infused oil :)

[@gazellep]

Do you have a sunscreen recipe?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Definitely, 100% no, and I never, ever will, and you should never, ever make one if you find one! I've written lots on it here (www.humblebeeandme.com/why-homemade-sunscreen-is-never-a-good-idea/) and LabMuffin also has a great video on it (kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4WxlJWCfb-oqcU).

[@abdellaouistdiy5889]

Can i infuse camomille in olive oil ?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Yup!

[@vidasworld8503]

What do you prefer to use most often to make your creams , lotions etc - polawax or Ewax??

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I probably use them equally, it just depends which tub I grab on any given making day. You might find this useful: www.humblebeeandme.com/a-quick-guide-to-different-emulsifying-waxes/ :)

[@vidasworld8503]

Humblebee & Me thank you !

[@aleirbag914]

Hi Marie, some of your recipes call for Polysorbate 20 but sometimes it tweaks for Polysorbate 80. What's the difference between both polysorbates? In the case of this recipe specifically, can Polysorbate 20 be used to sustitute olivem 300 and is it ok for sensitive skin?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Polysorbate 80 is best suited for solubilizing lipid based oils (carrier oils), whilst polysorbate 20 is best for solubilizing essential and fragrance oils. The Olivem300 swap isn't something I can give you a generic yes or no on-it would depend on the recipe and the use. Olivem300 does have some solubilizing abilities, but I wouldn't recommend it as a universal alternative for either polysorbate.

[@rajeshwarisavant6954]

Happy new year dear humblebee and me , thanks for the video .can u please share the video for the organic cleanser for makeup brush .

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks for watching! I have a couple makeup brush cleansers on my blog, www.humblebeeandme.com :)

[@dominiquesiwulich4746]

I read that emulsifying wax and polysorbate can dry out and age the skin over time.. is this true if I add it to oil cleanser ??

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I don't think that's true at all-maybe if applied directly, but those ingredients are always diluted. Many emulsifying waxes are actually emollients or moisturizers!

[@marcellavieira4048]

Hi! Love your videos, I don't have Oliver 300, can I make it without it? Thanks

[@ElleCh4nel]

You can use Polysorbate 80. She said it in the video.

[@hellohello7648]

Making it with an emulsifier means it won't clog up your drain either. :-)

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Emulsifiers are awesome! :D

[@desaiidesai7999]

Can we add liquid soap in any cleaning blam

[@MsSmontalvo]

Thanks for the link to LabMuffin's video even though it was off-topic, that was super interesting. Shared it on Pinterest!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

She's definitely worth following on KZbin and elsewhere, she's got great content!

[@fabricatedreality8218]

Ooooh I gotta make this one

[@mahparafaraz1609]

If it's gets solidified with time then how can you say it's a oil??

[@galaxia4709]

Does that mean you could also have used Olivem 1000 because of its solidness, which is where we were going for? Thanks! :)

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

You could use it as your emulsifying wax, but NOT in place of the olivem300. We want viscosity, not solidness, in the final product :)

[@maybellgreen]

How do you get a great mix for your essential oils? Did you do a course in EO mixing?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

It's kind of like baking or cooking-I'll start with something I like, but perhaps it's a bit heavy, so I lighten it with something brighter. Or perhaps something is a bit too sweet, so I mellow it out with something a little spicy or fresh. I haven't done a course or anything-I just try to think about what characteristics of the EOs might play off oneanother well :)

[@mabelr40]

I don't have olivem 300 neither polisorbate 80. What is the function in the product & what can I replace it for. Thanks

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Please read the accompanying blog post: www.humblebeeandme.com/gentle-calendula-cleansing-oil/.

[@IrynaBoehland]

Oh, looks so wonderful! I was wondering if the oil-to-lotion bath cleansing oils are made in the same way? Thank you, Marie

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Pretty much, they are very similar! If you massage this into damp skin it'll just turn into a basic lotion, which is pretty neat :D

[@IrynaBoehland]

Humblebee & Me thank you

[@drewdrew8426]

I know preservatives are important, but are they necessary for an oil based cleanser? If I just put on my packaging "KEEP BOTTLE AWAY FROM WATER" then it should be fine, right?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

That's exactly why I haven't included a preservative in this ;)

[@drewdrew8426]

Wow im an idiot lmao I thought the Olivem 300 was a preservative lol. And can I put powder (ex kelp powder, blueberry powder, spinach powder, etc) into an oil that im making? Or do powders not blend into oils?

[@jadegrowsveg]

Such awesome info! 🙌🏻 I want to try & make a cheaper dupe for dermalogica precleanse...Sooo I just ordered peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil & polysorbate 80 to play with & your videos are sooo handy!!! So excited to start experimenting. Thank you so much for such helpful content 🙏🏻

[@vanessasanchez7309]

If I replace the castor oil with Red Turkey Oil would that replace the emulsifiers?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

It might, but I don't recommend turkey red oil-it is really quite irritating, and I would not rub it into my face daily.

[@vanessasanchez7309]

Thank you!

[@mandisamqadi7304]

Can i use candililla wax instead of e wax?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

No

[@Jennifer-sw2dk]

If I don't add the EO would this be suitable to clean eye makeup off?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Yup, assuming your eyes aren't sensitive to botanicals (I might skip it if you have seasonal allergies).

[@EvanWeightman]

How do you use both cleansing oils and liquid cleanser together?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I don't-I use the cleansing oil first, and then the foaming cleanser directly after :)

[@MymaLeku]

Hi hi.... so I made mine but it keeps separating which is confusing because there is no water!.

[@MymaLeku]

HELP!!!🥺

Lol, Marie, I just realised you and I indulge in big bottles of essential oils. Lmao. Love this. I think my sister in NC will love this.

Hi Marie! I found a cleansing oil recipe that is a sort of runny balm consistency, which I prefer to liquid. It has bentonite clay in it. Would that need a preservative? I know clays are notorious for being tough to preserve, but does that count when they're wet with oil rather than water? Thanks :-)

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

No water, no preservative ;) Just keep it dry! Perhaps refer to my most recent cleansing balm recipe for some tips, but I do also love this idea and may try it myself!

What kind DRY OIL I can use instead of CASTOR OIL? Thank You!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Castor oil is in here because it's a wonderful cleansing oil-it actually boosts the cleansing power of the cleansing oil. I would not waste your money incorporating a dry oil (which are typically much more expensive than castor oil) in a product where the dry-ness really won't make any difference at all to your experience or the performance, and you're basically just pouring it down the drain.

[@mirandajoseluis9073]

[@KittenBowl1]

Humblebee & Me yeah but to get to the actual recipe, it takes 4:17..so your talking in a chit chat style is longer than the actual recipe which is 7:53 long. Maybe it’s better to get to the video first only giving essential must-know info then get to the recipe. I just found it too long for more than 4 min of talk.
