How to Make DIY Prickly Pear Eye Gel Cream // Humblebee & Me

[@sourabhtanwar6737]

Amazing. I tried it today. I use it as a base formula for soothing light moisturiser, increase little bit of allantoin n add little bit of niacinamide , as i didnt have caffeine. It turns out perfectly, i use mct oil as oil phase. Its so easy once u source sepimax zen. Finally something to suit my oily acne prone skin.♥️so light in summers.

I don't know if you have ever done research on prickly pear /cactus seed oil this particular oil which comes from the seed of the prickly pear fruit off a particular cactus ( nopal cactus) has a very very hard seed. This hard seed contains oil that actually cures melanoma. It reduces the tumor or lesion and as long as you apply it directly to it it will never come back. I know this as a fact through a oil seed processor in Wisconsin. Oil Seed Press, who actually developed the machine to get the oil out of the seed. They developed a special machine because it's a tough nut to crack for a husband and wife doctor in the United States they have a practice just inside of Mexico. They use the oil to treat melanoma using this process. Unfortunately the FDA has not had any trials using this but I can speak from personal experience that it works. This is also the same seed it comes from the fruit that also lowers type 2 diabetic blood sugar. This particular fruit is God's gift so not only does eating the fruit help your blood sugar if your type 2 diabetic but the oil in the seed cures melanoma! it's amazing I am so glad you developed this it can only be that good and much better for your skin because of the ingredients you chose to include! ~ your very humble Bee in Michigan much love to you ((Hugs))

I swear you read my mind, Marie. I just bought some Sepimax zen and was thinking of buying a teensy (because it’s so expensive!) bottle of prickly pear for the very purpose of concocting an eye cream - so this is an eye dream! Thank you! I’ve never ordered from Coop Coco in Canada but I see they have a 15ml bottle of prickly pear for under $20 CDN so I’ll give them a try.🐝

That's a great price for dabbling with prickly pear seed oil 😄 Thanks for DIYing with me, and happy making :)

[@ellaboyd4557]

So glad you started adding eye products, I have been looking for a lightweight recipe for my under eyes. Awesome video, I can't wait to try it!

Is Caffeic Acid same as caffeine?

[@mushy470]

I'm not sure if you've already done this, but can you make a video or blog post on emulsifiers. I just find them confusing and finding it hard to decide which ones to get and what properties they have that make them different. I'm unsure about which will be best in a lotion and which in an oil cleanser etc.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Check out the Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/)! There's lots of info about many different types of emulsifiers there :) Happy making!

[@komalagrawal9132]

As I stay in India, I am unable to find aristoflex AVC or Polyacrylate crosspolymer-6, so can you please give a substitution for both of this which can be used as gelling agent in water base cream.

[@shusha50]

Hi Marie, Thanks for all your lovely recipes. I have looked hi and low for Propanediol 1,3 . Unable to find it. Now this one item is holding up the queue drstically for making other home made creams etc. I have read your blog, done google search of no use. Tried yellowbeee, new directions, soap and more, pipping rock. Neeyat ( means nope). Not one place. Pls let me know if I can use something else instead of Propanediol 1,3. Hope you had a good christmas. Happy New year 2022 to you and family and here's wishing you the very best of 2022. You are my smiling little Humblebee. Keep smiling. it is infectious. You spread so much joy.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hi Usha! I have listed substitutions for this ingredient in the Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/) entry on it + I have linked to two places to purchase it in the partner blog post :) Happy making!

[@shusha50]

@@HumblebeeAndMe Thank Marie. Not sure why your reply did not show up. thks again for all your lovely videos. awesome presentation

[@noranoni2907]

Amazing Video.Thank you

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks for watching!

[@angelicadavidoff]

Can you tell me where you buy powdered caffeine? Thanks in advance!

[@s.stephens8690]

I asked Marie the same question.... she said its in the ingredient link. I went to the link, found caffeine powder in "Ingredients To Die For website". The powder was only a few dollars for an oz, but the shipping was almost $19! For 1 oz!! I think NOT!

[@angelicadavidoff]

S. Stephens thank you ! I actually found it on Etsy with free shipping.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

For what it's worth re: the shipping-most ingredient suppliers have a minimum shipping cost for any size order, so I would bet that you could order 15 things and shipping would stay around $19. I know that's how it is here-shipping on a $10 order and $130 order costs about the same.

[@carlatullis2980]

Looks like lovely rich eye serum. Can you add Matrixyl and IArgerline

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thank you so much! Check out the FAQ (www.humblebeeandme.com/faq/) for info on how (and if) you can incorporate new ingredients. Happy making!

[@kiaranaria7211]

I haven't used those exact airlesss dispensers, but the ones I bought (here in Germany) you can use again. Otherwise it would be quite wasteful wouldn't it? Thank You for all your fantastic formulations! I love that stuff!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Regardless of whether or not it can be re-opened these containers are always single use because the pump mechanism is impossible to clean properly :( Thanks for DIYing with me, and happy making :)

[@apoorvam3612]

Hello marie! I absolutely love your videos.. it has changed my diy game and took it to a whole new level. It's so much fun learning all this. Now I want to play with AHAs and BHAs. Is it possible for you to teach that. I'm willing to pay for a short course. Also I dont want to sell or anything.. it's just a sweet rewarding hobby.. :)

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thank you so much! I haven't worked much with AHAs or BHAs so I'm not qualified to teach that-yet, at least :) Thanks for DIYing with me, and happy making :)

[@LocdAura]

Hi Marie, for the past month I haven't been able to access your website. I keep getting SpamFirewall is activated for you IP. What do I do please? I always love to read the accompanying blog post whenever I watch your videos, to get substitutions and benefits of each ingredient

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hey Jenn! Can you send me a PM through the Humblebee & Me Facebook page? We can get this sorted out!
