I have a question if my fragrance allows a higher percentage, I can increase it correct, and just lower one of the other oils?

[@kerissajones7581]

I love this formulation and wanted to know if there is anything I can add to make it a bit less runny, similar to the Vaseline body oil brands. I've been playing around with a few stuff but can't seem to nail it without it being too greasy. Any advice ?

[@NewNoob-vq4uh]

I have gone to most of the websites you give for ingredients and can’t find isosmyl cocoate. Does it have another name? Where can I buy it?

[@Swartzs86]

I know you said don’t over think the oils and substations. I want it to come out great but at the same time keep it natural silicone free, so what if I use MCT oil like refined coconut oil and rose hip seed oil, sweet almond oil and grape seed oil? If not then I guess I will use a silicone ester like Isoamyl cocoate. What’s your thought? I ordered some scents from stock fragrance. I’m interested to see how their fragrances are. Any suggestions on what I should use would greatly be appreciated thank you.

Hello! Very nice formula! Can isopropyl myristate be used as only ester in this formula? 15% rosehip + 13,5% other oil + 70% isopropyl myristate?

When you put that butter on your skin, I had to laugh. With that being said, I made it and used all the ingredients in your recipe, except for the rose hip oil (allergic, used sunflower oil instead) and the isoamyl cocoate (used isopropyl myristate) and it turned out wonderful. I ordered some isoamyl cocoate to see how it differs from isopropyl myristate and I want to use argan oil instead of the sunflower oil.

[@daphneraven6745]

Hi humblebeeAndMe! Thanks for sharing your formula and your reasoning. That’s very valuable. By way of giving back, may I suggest that you put your formula and a tall, thin sort of container, possibly with a rubber band wrapped around it, like you do with test tubes in the lab, so that if it falls over, it doesn’t break, we’re all off the counter? The reason for the narrow storage container is so that there’s a limit to the amount of air that in contact with the formula, limiting the rate of oxidation.

[@stancexpunks]

Came here from your foaming shower oil video and when I heard you mention glossier in that video, I had a suspicion you would also mention them in this video too which I’m delighted to see is true. More videos on their products please!

Ilove your shimmer summer glow body oil formulation- but want something more sheer. In your blog post on the formula, you mention if you use less shimmer to increase the amount of apricot kernel oil. I find though, with doing this, the mica then sinks to the bottom instead of staying in suspension, like the original recipe. If I cut the shimmer amount in the recipe in half and want to increase the fragrance, would I also increase the c12-alkyl Benzoate and the polyamide 3? Thank you so much in advance. Your formulas are beyond amazing! ❤❤

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge to us, I have learned lots of important details in formulating my products. I do have a question, sorry🤭, I understand that fractionated coconut oil does not have the long chain triglycerides, but still contains short and medium chain triglycerides, Using it will it still make my formula less greasy, or will it be accounted for an oil ingredient or accounted for an ester? I have found MCT hard to get in my country. Thank you again for you unconditional support☺️

[@tanusharma3572]

Hi Marie, Could you please make a non comedogenic moisturizer?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hi! I've made many moisturizers that work well on my face, but I pay no attention to if they are "non comedogenic" or not. Here's why: The idea of "comedogenic" or not really is nowhere near as simple as religiously avoiding every ingredient that gets a "bad" rating on a comeodogenicity rating chart. Comedogenic ratings really aren't all that helpful when determining if a product (rather than a pure ingredient) will clog human pores, so formulating something that is "non comedogenic" is not as simple as just avoiding a set list of ingredients on a chart. I recently tried a commercial moisturizer from a well-known that was advertised as non comedogenic and it broke me out horribly, so even when something is supposed to be non comedogenic, there are zero guarantees. Lab Muffin made a great video about it titled "Why Comedogenicity Ratings Are Kinda BS " ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6jdkJJ8hdZooac ). The title really says it all, but the general gist is: your skin isn't made of rabbit ears + the overall formulation really matters. Happy making!

[@creativelycoveredco3340]

Is MCT the only oil that can be used for the 50 percent will sunflower or safflower be sufficient

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hi! There are lots of alternatives to MCT, but I don't recommend an oil. MCT is an ester (not a true oil), so you will want to swap it with a similarly lightweight ester, not an oil. Have you read the free partner blog post yet? It explains this formulation with more detail + includes lots of substitution suggestions :) www.humblebeeandme.com/dry-summer-body-oil/

[@beacarr9652]

I always end up coming back to Humblebee for the real deal in diy skincare!!! The ingredient lowdown is always without equal!!! What would happen if I made it without isoamyl cocoate - would it not have the "dry" oil factor I'm looking for? Could I, alternatively, increase the rosehip seed oil or another "non-oily" oil?? I hate greasy feeling products that don't dry down well. Thanks!!!!

[@capableofgreatness8804]

you can use isoamyl laurate/c12-c15 alkyl benzoate, coca caprylate, isoamyl myristate -this ones feels oily yet dry, if you have no access to non above, you can use carrier oils that is very fast absorbing; rosehip oil, hazel nut, camellia seed oil
