Hey Marie I wanted to say I appreciate your videos a lot. What I appreciate most is your thorough and kind delivery to your viewers. I’m able to learn a lot because you give great comparisons to help people decide which ingredients would work best for their products. You also explain things enough for a person to learn to make effective products with precision which I think is very important. Thank you again. Have a great day!

[@Janepint]

She's funny too! Most enjoyable to watch and learn.

[@jamiebianco]

This looks like another awesome recipe Marie! Thank you! 🤗

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks, Jamie!

[@fabricatedreality8218]

I made this back in the beginning of the summer and I made it again because I absolutely love this. This melts all my makeup away and it smells so good. I love the texture of this wash.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I am so thrilled you are loving it! Thanks for DIYing with me, and happy making :)

[@robinsiciliano9084]

You create amazing recipes and your enthusiasm shines through to your audience. I especially appreciate learning about the ingredients commonly found on product labels and often (at least in my case) judged to be harmful because of simply not knowing what the heck it is! Empowering us to make informed choices and not just guessing.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thank you so much, Robin! ❤️ If you haven't checked out the Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/) yet I bet you'll enjoy it :) Happy making!

[@leeleesale]

Thank you for the recipe 💜 I changed by cutting the coconut oil a bit and add some rice bran oil, and replaced the mint oils with lavender oil and magnolia oil- it's lovely consistency, similar to some expensive cleansing balm. Thanks 💕❤️💜

[@lindatrucha]

I will totally try this I'm almost running out of my cleansing balm. Thanks again Marie

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Woo! Enjoy 😊

[@LilleyNewman]

Love this! Thank you!

[@yuriberwick1042]

I absolutely love your content! Can't wait to try making this. Btw you look so pretty in this video, Marie :)

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks so much, Anne!

[@belindapepe7923]

WOW quite easy to make ..... will try to make it. Thank you

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Sweet! Happy making 🙂

[@lonardlis]

I really enjoy your videos. Youre very funny n entertaining. Awesome formula. Would love to try it :)

[@whitleysmedley9153]

I can't wait to try this. I bet it would be great for my dry skin and eczema.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Enjoy! Thanks for watching 😊

[@kellsgreenidge8885]

I have all these ingredients. Will make a small batch tonight. Thanks for sharing.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Muchas gracias Marie saludos desde México 😊 👍 🤗

[@LizzieWestBathandBody]

Awesome Share Thank you!!!!!!!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@fuckinganswer]

Hi! Would you say this balm is similar to the Clinique Take the Day Off one? I’m looking for something that could melt off my waterproof makeup (mascara), this seems about right? I think I should omit the essential oils tho, because I would be using it around my eyes, right? 🤗

[@abdellaouistdiy5889]

Just a love this balm

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I'm thrilled to hear it ❤️ Thanks for DIYing with me, and happy making :)

[@aahanaveeramachaneni9656]

Is it ok to use mineral oil instead of carrier oils? I’m only gonna use it as a first cleanser and don’t need any conditioning benefits.

[@kimberleyballard5841]

I really love your recipe. I found it a little Grainy or lumpy in some spots so I'm going to take a lot more care in creating it again do you have any tips.

[@theemakeupmichelle5803]

Hi! I love your videos this in particular I went on your blog and I know this is an older video but I did not see the info regarding how much ceytearyl alcohol to use in hot climates? Can u lmk whenever you get the chance? Thank you 😊

[@bjflinn1]

I'm totally jealous. The fact you can just use any oil you want in cleansing oils without making your face angry is amazing to me. My face is so picky.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I'm definitely very lucky that way. Is there any chance fungal acne might be a factor for you? simpleskincarescience.com/pityrosporum-folliculitis-treatment-malassezia-cure/

[@komaljain4824]

Is there any advance course?? Just like your beginning course??

[@vflores890]

I love your video thank you for the help . I do have a question does this recipe need a preservative ?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hey! You'll find the answer to your question + lots of formula-specific and more general information about shelf life & preservation in both the partner blog post for this formulation (linked in the description box below) and the Humblebee & Me FAQ (www.humblebeeandme.com/faq/preservatives/).

[@cherrygingham]

Perhaps sometime you can talk about your current 2-step cleansing process, why foaming cleanser after oil, why oil cleanser before foaming cleanser, instead of one or the other?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

It's really just something I picked up from r/AsianBeauty-they can definitely explain it better than I can! www.reddit.com/r/AsianBeauty/wiki/theabroutine

[@AB4Jss]

I love this formula but the only thing is the eucalyptus & peppermint irritated my eyes. I was also hoping it will also remove my waterproof mascara, but didn’t. Any ingredient I can add to remove waterproof mascara?

[@syn1016]

Hey Marie. Can I add arbutin with it?

[@walaahegazy6529]

hi Marie please please please help I had some aloe Vera gel and it froze . can I unfreeze it and use it again? and also what's its shelf life without preservatives?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

You shouldn't DIY with aloe vera gel: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/aloe-vera-juice-aloe-vera-gel-thing/. If it is raw from the plant, I'd give it a day or two.

[@rosieim5567]

I followed this recipe, but there is one problem: the texture of the product splits after a day. Can you give me advice? (I guess the cause of that phenomenon is polysorbate 80)

[@AB4Jss]

I’d like to try this but I don’t have cetearyl alcohol. So I know I can sub it with cetyl & stearic acid. You mentioned about % of cetearyl alcohol compared to % of cetyl & stearic acid on your other thicker balm. I really don’t know how to adjust 11% cetearyl alcohol to % of cetyl & stearic acid. Pls help. Sorry for the bother. Thank you!

[@LenaTaughtYou]

If you wanted to make this into a cleansing stick ( where it would stay solid and not melt in a push up container) then would you add beeswax? Or what product would you add to make it stay solid?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

That's sort of like trying to turn a soup into a sandwich-it's easier to start with a sandwich recipe 😊 This one (www.humblebeeandme.com/ginger-oak-moss-cleansing-balm-stick/) is already in stick form; you can easily adjust the EOs if need be!

[@noobitaCSS]

Hello Marie, is polysorbate 80 à green ingredient plz? Can we use it in natural cosmetics?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

No, Polysorbate 80 is not considered natural, but it is safe and that is what matters to me ❤️ Happy making!

[@syn1016]

Hey Marie. Can I add activated charcoal with it? 🥰 to make it exfoliating?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I recommend checking out my Winter Solstice Face Polish at www.humblebeeandme.com/ :)

[@bhavana709]

Great Can you please justify the use of setearyl alcohol?

[@freyjakat9217]

i believe it does condition and soften the skin and thickens the lotion

[@sammeemadison9079]

Go back to 2:00 and listen

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

This is in both the video and the blog 🙂

[@1224euphoria]

So sad ur book is not available in the Philippines..😭

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Sorry! Distribution is totally out of my hands :(

[@rosieim5567]

could i use peg-40 instead of polysorbate 80?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Probably, but there's a decent chance you'll have to make at least some changes :) Happy making!

[@laylael5106]

Please can you tell me if these are organic ingredients?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I've got an FAQ on more or less this: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/can-i-get-an-organic-version-of-_______/ :)

[@roshnidedhia1460]

Can it be made without cetyl alcohol n polysorbate??

[@lientran6855]

You cant make cleansing balm without an emulsifier or else the oil will remain on your face and clog the pores

[@LocdAura]

Can I add kaolin clay to this?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

You could certainly try it! I'd try it at 5% or less to start :)

[@nehadyoussif3696]

No presertive ? Cos there is no water in this one ?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

You'll find the answer to your question in the blog post that's linked in the description box below the video ;) If you're not sure what that means, read this: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/whats-the-description-box-on-youtube/. Happy making!

One doubt.... no preservatives in this ???

Yup! You'll find the "why" in the blog post that's linked in the description box below the video ;)

[@blerinaferati5930]

you look like jenna fischer

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Ha, I've actually heard that before! Thanks :)

[@user-vs9qz6ro7z]

no one should put essential oils on face, let alone irritating eucalyptus and mint.
