So gona try this, been making a simple butter for my grandsons skin, just shea, cocoa, vit e and almond oil , been looking to find something for my daughter she's had eczema all her life, she hates the creams with 101 different chemicals in, the last one I made was same base as this with coconut and neem oil to help the itch, she found it quite heavy feeling, she like it when it acts like this type of lotion you made here, but again most have chemicals , this would be a good night out lotion for her though , good job .

[@melodyjwilloughby]

Thank u so very much for ur link to break dwn carrier oils. It's very interesting to read. I'm sure this will help alot of people understand things better.

I’m really looking forward to tweaking this recipe to make some gel eyeshadow! The mica stays in suspension so well and I could put in a lip gloss tube or increase the cetyl alcohol to put in a pot or empty makeup pan 😍

[@michellewhite6992]

Hi you seem to know your stuff with tweeking the ingredients, im in the 🇬🇧 and cant get hold of olivem 300 i can get olivem 1000 which is flakey powder and not the same. My question is does that need to be added. Ive looked at alternatives and it's saying shea butter water. Im new to this and havent a clue what im doing. Does this olivem need tobe added or can i leave that out as i have everything eles for the recipe thanks..

[@cynnaratregarth2009]

Somehow I'm feeling really proud of the fact that I bought extra silica microspheres recently. 😄 Citrusy is good for me. Lol

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Awwww yeah-no such thing as too much silica microspheres in my opinion :D

[@kondiragordonsandoval3073]

Loooove it! I just subscribed! All your content is awesome and so do you!!! Can we use it for tanning? I mean, sunbathe with it?

[@createthebalance]

Hi Marie! I love your videos! I was wondering if I could substitute Olivem300 for Polysorbate 80 instead?

[@georginat4595]

Hey, awesome tutorial!!! Can we use aloe vera gel in this recipe?

[@hannahvelier]

beautiful!!!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thank you!

[@TheEsJayDee]

What would be your recommendation for keeping microfine glitter suspended in something small and glass like a 10ml roller bottle?

[@Yessimplysyl]

I'm making a facial glow oil and mica isn't staying in suspension. I dont need it to be this thick. What do you suggest to keep the mica and the oil from separating over time.

[@diannavazquez]

hi Marie can silica microspheres be used in a regular dry oil mist with micas? if so is there anything else i need to add to the formula to make sure the micas are suspended ? Or is the cetyl alcohol what is used to help the micas suspended thank you

[@genibanks9947]

I have a question , what formulas do I need in order to make a nice shimmery body lava more less close to FENTY

[@soso-gj5jq]

That's amazing! Can u plz answer me if Silica microspheres is acceptable in natural formulation?

[@Famished4Life]

I made the shimmer but I didn’t use the Olivem nor the silica and my shimmer came out looking a little clustered (if that makes sense), it didn’t have a smooth look to it and I didn’t even use the full 8g I only used 6. So should I lessen the amount to 4g? Or is me using the silica and Olivem make a difference in the outcome as well?

[@aaba7368]

Would this wash off with water b/c of the cetyl alcohol? If yes, is there any way I can prevent that?

[@kellyrichardson8177]

Hello Marie could you do a shimmer spray ?

[@j.w.6866]

Hi Marie, thanks for another great recipe and tutorial--wondering how much you could up the mica in an effort to get loaaaaads of shimmer? thank you.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

There will reach a point where you'll just be getting mica all over your clothes-I'm not sure where that line is, but it'll happen LOL. You'll have to experiment to find it :)

[@davenajordan18]

Are the silica microspheres a must-have?

[@suhelavaneerten419]

Looove this one! I added a bit cinnamon, nutmeg and clove for a xmas-editon and its amazing. I also added a bit of shea, i guess just for fun? I now made one without shimmer, so ditched the mica's. It doesnt get smoothe somehow, eventhough i remelted and recooled it a few times. It smeers great, but looks a bit like applesauce. I now see I forgot my serecite mica (dont have microspherese yet (will order today!)). Would it be the serecite mica or the shea that makes it behave like this? What do you think?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I'm betting it's the shea-it's pretty notorious for going grainy.

[@loombandz6722]

What is the difference of silk powder to serecite mica or silica microspheres

[@elenamartinez3032]

Hello beautiful Marie. I just want to say that I love, love your silliness...I just adore you. :))) May God bless you always.( Please don't change). Hugs :))

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thank you so much!

[@michellewhite6992]

Hi what can i use instead of olivem 300 i cant buy it where i am unless i buy over 50 pounds worth of orders. Do i have to add this olivem 300.

[@marthabarasa1516]

Hi, recipe is exceptionally wonderful. Can I also use cetealy alcohol to mix up carrier oils? I’ve been trying to mix my carrier oils but they keep separating. Please advice. Thank you, you’re heaven-sent!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks for watching! Unfortunately fatty alcohols don't work well to add a small amount of richness to oils-I've stopped doing it because they settle out :( You can learn more about that in the ingredient deep dives I've done on these videos: kzbin.info/aero/PL4cZgaY9j7fMGUXks0RajQ-LGoHn4jXnD. I shared a Bee Better version of this formulation here: www.humblebeeandme.com/summer-glow-body-oil/. It doesn't have the same settling issues :)

[@mariesami3636]

Can I use silicone 1000 to have the dry touch?

[@Embellishednz]

I’ve just stumbled across your Chanel oh my! 💖 I was looking for something similar or a cross as I looked threw your other videos for a gift I want to make my clients this year for Christmas, I wanted to make a mica based cuticle oil that nourishes (found that video) but I wanted to keep the mica/shimmer suspended? A bit like this and your center stage oil but I’m a bit lost any quick suggestions :) ps your blog is fantastic! So much info!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Try TKB's thickening clay (as used in the center stage glow serum) to keep the mica suspended :)

[@dramishayoung2814]

Hey marine can u plz give me alternative for olivem300 does olivem 1000 works .. or is there another alternative along with stabilizer plz plz plz love u

[@atlantisfae1111]

This recipe looks phenomenal! Would you say the Olivem 300 and cetyl alcohol are safe to use in a glowy formula like this adapted for the face? (cheekbones) or would either be too sensitizing? Also if you could recommend a good preservative to use with them I'd be eternally grateful!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Definitely! You might be more interested in something made specifically for the face, though, like this: www.humblebeeandme.com/snowy-dawn-cream-luminizer/. You don't need a preservative for any of these projects as they do not contain any water, but generally speaking liquid germall plus is great!

[@Shuurinakisame]

@@HumblebeeAndMe Hey there I was wondering if it would be plausible (I don't know much about chemistry myself) to try to go for a "colour changing magick potion" style bath or body oil. The versions online are all just props using alcohol, but I was wondering if it would be possible to make it in an oil form where you can shake the bottle to cause a colour change effect and it will settle again and again. It sounds feasible since you said mica tends to settle? I guess the other concern is whether or not this is something you want to take a bath with and etc etc but I sort of just want to know if it's possible at all! lol

[@dianalepan702]

Hi there love you video I have a question could I add some mica power to my face oil

[@therealmarstv]

Hi, 🤗 Would you say that silica powder is the same as TKB Trading thickening clay?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

No. Just look at the INCIs for those two ingredients, they are completely different. That's always the best way to find out what is in something!

[@DigitalBeautyVault]

Hi Marie, I just have a fee questions. Is this waterproof? Like when you go for a swim, will this stay on my skin and won’t look patchy? And will it stain my clothes? Thank you so much!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

It's definitely not waterproof in any way, and if you put a ton of it on (or add a ton of mica), you're going to end up with a lot of mica on your clothes. A little shimmer won't be noticeable on clothes and will wash out, but if you're looking for a DIY alternative to self tanner, this isn't it at all.

[@monitch3201]

Hi, hello, lemongrass essential oil is not photosensitive? Does not stain the skin when exposed to the sun? Thank you 😊🙌

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Lemongrass essential oil is not a citrus essential oil, but the maximum recommended dermal dose is 0.7%, so that's something to keep in mind :)

[@createdbycandi]

can you make this with all the other ingredients without the silica?

[@shero1049]

If you do it please tell me what is the result

[@fengshuifiancee3451]

Can emulsifying wax NF be used instead of the Cety alcohol at the same recommended grams ?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

No; I highly recommend learning more 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, substitutions, what they do, usage rates, and more. Happy making!

[@nasrinezorkot8289]

Hello I just wanted to ask, does this transfer?

[@lalashaki1313]

Somehow my oil became grainy over the weeks. Do you have an idea on why it happened?

[@ajsartisticmindset2776]

Nice

[@x1dl]

Does the mica powder settle to the bottom?

[@i_bleed_makeup1187]

Is subtle alcohol (I'm not sure if I'm saying that right) like denatured alcohol? What I mean is, will it dry your skin out? Also, fragrance oils and essential oils are different? Are fragrance oils safe to use on the skin?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hey! You should check out my FAQ and my Encyclopedia on my blog at humblebeeandme.com :) You'll find your answers there!

[@good4u2367]

I was wondering if there's any products that would stop the mica from settling

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

TKB Trading sells a "Thickening Clay" and "Gel Maker"-both help, but I haven't found either to be a perfect solution as the mica eventually settles.

[@shaydfordays1270]

I made this a couple of weeks ago and am having the issue of it separating how do I stop this ?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

The mica will settle out over time-I haven't found any products/ingredients that permanently stop that at this point.

[@jennysu355]

What brand you will suggest for most natural high end quality mica cosmetics grade powder ? Thank you , try to follow your recipe to make everything u can , love you videos!!!

[@acherardfatima2040]

Thank u for the recpie Can i use olivem 1000 instead of olivem 300 ? cuz it doesn't exist in my country

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

No, not at all. Please look them both up in the Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/) to learn more :) Happy making!

[@AshailD]

what was the particle size of the mica?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

It varies mica by mica; check with your supplier :) www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/how-can-i-avoid-nanoparticles/

[@Destinyslocdiary]

Can SPF be added to this recipe?

[@ElleCh4nel]

Could I put this in a dropper bottle and use a couple of drops as a highlighter on my face?

[@aislinnbates7806]

Michelle Black you would want to make sure none of the ingredients would break you out

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I'd recommend my highlighting moon drops instead :) www.humblebeeandme.com/highlighting-moon-drops/ They're designed for facial application!

[@agirlagoat1193]

Hey! Great idea!!! Could crothix work in place of the cetyl alcohol ?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Crothix is used for thickening surfactant blends-Susan says "Crothix only works with anionic surfactant systems". So, nope! swiftcraftymonkey.blogspot.ca/2009/06/better-crafting-through-chemistry_27.html

[@agirlagoat1193]

Humblebee & Me thank you!

[@misshylton1993]

im trying to figure out how to make a body shimmer any suggestions

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

How is a "body shimmer" different from this DIY? This would definitely make your body shimmer!

[@char2261]

So because the Cetyl Alcohol thickens this formula--do the micas stay suspended and incorporated in the blend? Or must it be shaken before each use? Would you ever consider adding a bit of flesh toned micas to this blend to create a slightly bronzed look to legs/arms?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I found the mica stays suspended for longer, but if you leave the mixture for a week or two it will settle a bit. For your second question-isn't that exactly what I did?

[@char2261]

Yes! Just completed it--and the Bronze Mica is more flesh toned than I thought it would be. It is truly a wonderful product!! Thank you

[@Taushadoll]

Will the mica sink to the bottom or does it stay suspended in the oil?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I highly recommend checking out the Bee Better version of this formulation I shared last year :) www.humblebeeandme.com/summer-glow-body-oil/ Happy making!

[@vickicooper3043]

This looks like a wonderful recipe. Just wondering if you find that the color comes off on clothes?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

It will, though I find you usually just get slightly shimmery clothes unless you put on a ton :)

[@sharonhamilton6107]

Instant tan

[@lawbodyoils]

Can you please tell me where you purchased or the name of the electric stir tool you're using?

@@HumblebeeAndMe Thank you!

[@shellbell8062]

would this work in a glass dropper bottle or is it too thick?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I wouldn't recommend it.

[@nsp6480]

Thanks for this awesome recipe! Have you ever tried making Kevyn Aucoin the neo-elixir beauty oil? I would love to try this oil, but it is far too expensive to buy.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Oooh cool, what a neat looking product! I will definitely add it to the list :D

[@toot3437]

thank you for sharing 😊. why do we need the olivem 300 in this recipe?

[@isaacr512]

She explains it in the blog post. "I didn’t design this strictly as a shower oil, but when I started to think about when I’d actually apply such a thing, I figured chances were fairly high it’d be after a shower. With that in mind, I added a bit of Olivem 300. Olivem 300 is a lovely, lightweight, water soluble ester of oleic acid, so not only does it help contribute to the lightweight feel of the oil, it means that if you apply the oil with damp skin, it’ll self-emulsify with the water on your skin, turning into lotion! Groovy, eh?" -Marie She siad you can replace it with an equal weight of apricot oil if you don't have it.

[@puleshpule]

@@isaacr512 This is completely incorrect. On so many levels. :D If Olivem 300 is water-soluble (which it is), how AND WHY is it added to a recipe using only lipids/oil? Really bad recipe, you can see the components separating even freshly made...

[@LocdAura]

@@puleshpule it is both oil soluble and water soluble

[@brazilzj]

How would i increase these measurements for an 8oz bottle?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

www.humblebeeandme.com/how-to-scale-any-recipe/

[@imanbouchelkia9471]

How do you prevent the mica powder from sinking to the bottom of your oil??

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

The best product I've found so far is TKB's "thickening clay": www.humblebeeandme.com/project/quaternium-90-sepiolite-and-quaternium-90-montmorillonite-thickening-clay/

[@destiny9332]

Does that work for glitter too ? I made a body oil 1 with glitter 1 with micro powder and the mica didn’t sink but the glitter do no matter how much thickening clay I add

[@beautifiedbyshaz7708]

I have loved your channel for years.. I finally want to make a shimmer body oil and of course your video pops up! I am going to try this with your recipe! Thank you so much for always proving great easy to do recipes and information about the ingredients!🥰 I just want to make sure though will this transfer to your clothes or is this a non transfer dry oil?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hi! I really recommend checking out the #BeeBetter version of this project I shared last year :) It is much lighter, contains a film former to make the end product more wear resistant, and doesn't settle out nearly as much. It's a much more professional product 😄 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXeun4l4gdikmaM

[@dramishayoung2814]

[@CuteBamboo2012]

I definitely looooove your channel! Your are litterally answering each day all my interrogations when it comes to formulating natural cosmetincs! Silly question do the micas transfer on clothes? Also about you cocoa butter foaming bath milk, do you actually have or are planning a video about a foaming whipped butter ?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks! Yes, mica will transfer to the clothes, though this is typically not an issue in body products such as this one unless you are using huge amounts as they are not very highly pigmented. I've never made a foaming whipped body butter!

[@CuteBamboo2012]

Humblebee & Me waiting for the day you' ll make it! For the mica yes I think I'll put plenty of it to make it an highlighter actually, that can be used both on the face and body. Thanks for your answer and for sharing!

[@AlexSzczech]

This is super cool. But are there any known side effects of using unnatural ingredients such as the brown powder colouring or the microchips? X

[@sweetpeachbellini8245]

Alex, the mica powders are perfectly safe to use. They've been used by mainstream makeup/skincare for a long time. It took me two seconds to google this info. simplebeautyminerals.com/musings/mica-in-mineral-makeup-is-it-safe/ Also, the silica microspheres are also perfectly safe.

[@AlexSzczech]

[@BlueEyedKrypto920]

Is there anything that can be used instead of silica? That stuff costs an arm and a leg lol. Can arrowroot powder be used in its place for the same feel?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

In a product like this arrowroot starch, corn starch, or isopropyl myristate would give a similar feel :)

[@koizellars1082]

like regular cornstarch? out the pantry type of cornstarch? I love this video btw.

[@sierrab1736]

Hey Marie! Can you use silica microspheres in body butter?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

You could, but you'd also get a similar effect from including cornstarch for a far lower cost :)

[@sierrab1736]

Humblebee & Me thank you! I ended up putting some in there since I initially bought the silica for the oil and I love it!!

[@timhendson2550]

Do you know a substitute for mica?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

It depends on what you're trying to do; glitter also offers sparkle, but the particles are much larger and they tend to be microplastics, which aren't awesome.

[@timhendson2550]

What do we do if we don't want to be so subtle?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

This isn't really the recipe for that-if you put a ton of mica in this you'll just end up leaving a ton of mica on all your clothes and furniture.

[@mmmm87960]

What is the importance of cetyl alcohol?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

It adds viscosity to help keep the mica in suspension :)

[@iamskinfairy]

Can you use arrowroot instead of silica?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Probably-try it and see!

[@koizellars1082]

does anyone know if you can substitute cetyl alcohol, with aloe vera gel?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

No-they have absolutely nothing in common. Different solubilities, consistencies, usage rates, states-everything. Out of curiosity, what made you think of aloe vera as an alternative?

[@koizellars1082]

to be honest, I really don't know lol. i think because i thought it could "gel up" like cetyl alcohol. I guess. If that makes sense.

[@koizellars1082]

one more question.... when i made the oil... right now i just do the mica and oil, i am thinking about buying the ingredients mentioned in the video so try it out, but does it like "stain" your hands? bc when i do the oil and mica, it "stains" my hands and after i make it i have to wipe my hands off. btw i am a new subscriber and i have to say i am in LOVE with your videos/channel.

[@JudiHodgkin]

Marie!!!! I can't keep up! With every recipe you bring out, I have to add to my pantry! Stop! Two questions: Can I use Silica Micro Powder (is it the same stuff as I can't seem to find Microspheres here in the UK and I can't find the INCI fo what I've got). Assume it's okay to swap out the apricot kernel oil for something like Argan? What about Meadowfoam seed oil? So I'll need to find a UK supplier of Olvem 300!

[@ggirl1514]
