How thick do you like your body wash? 🤔

[@clarewhite3004]

I like liquid cleansers to be pretty thick because they're easier to handle - less chance that they'll drip out of my hands!

[@annetteasbury7415]

A honey consistency is always my goal.😊

[@Nah481]

Love it! Love, natural products!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Glad you like them! ❤️ Don't forget to check out my blog (humblebeeandme.com) as well-I've been blogging since 2011 while I’ve only been on KZbin since about 2016, so there are a lot more formulations on the blog. The blog is also where my ingredient encyclopedia and FAQ live, and they're both packed with tons of super-helpful information ❤️ Happy making!

Hi Marie, thank you so much for this awesome recipe. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had any issues with it being too runny? I have made 2 different batches, following your instructions - the first batch I thought wasn't thick enough so I added 1tsp of xanthum gum mixed in with 20g glycerin, which really thickened it up great - but now a few weeks later it is runny again?? The other batch seemed to be thick enough at first but has also gone runny a few weeks later. Any ideas?? I like a really nice thick body & hand wash. At least something that doesn't squirt out at you when you pump the pump on the bottle! :)

[@dahinabarnes8471]

Great video. Didn’t know you could use glycerin at 15% in a body wash.

[@devonmarsalisbeauty]

Hello! Do you have a video on DIY glossier cream blush??

[@persephonespomegranate]

This looks delightful! I just recently bought Plantapon, too 😊 also, I have a lovely blueberry extract and an elderberry extract so one of those will work well for colour.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

That sounds lovely! ❤

[@magdat4692]

Hi Marie! It looks divine indeed :) How would you recommend to decrease the % of surfactants if I want to put it in a bottle with foaming top?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I'd recommend following one of my many formulations designed for a foamer top bottle instead; due to the self-thickening nature of this surfactant blend I don't think it's a good choice for a foamer formulation :)

[@juliazehetmair2761]

Can you use germall liquid plus as the preservative?

[@Fumanchoe]

Hi Marie. I need serious help please? I am from SA and do not have the options for soaps, lotions, showergels etc avail like yourselves.I made a showergel but I am unable /to thicken it as the recipe calls for Crothix. Due to high cncentration of coconut oil, gums and salt does not work. How can I make use of stearic acid to thicken the showergel.Your help will be greatly appreciated. Francois

[@clarewhite3004]

That's fun! It's always neat to find a new way of doing something that you're used to doing totally differently. If you are open to experimenting with xanthan gum again, try xanthan gum soft. I got mine from FSS. I've used it at up to 2% in a jelly mask with no unpleasant sensation. (3% made a shampoo I have to scoop out of a jar and it's a tad snotty.) I've never tried regular xanthan because of the snottiness you've talked about, but TaraLee loves xanthan gum soft, so I gave it a try and now I use it in masks, shampoos, and facial cleansers.

[@mattclarewilliams6878]

I make liquid soap, with lye solution… could I use the geo guard and lactic acid to lower the ph of these soaps?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

To a point, but that will decrease lather and eventually stop being soap. I've got more information on this here: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/can-i-reduce-the-ph-of-this-soap/. Happy making!

[@suryaram2788]

Hi we need wax cream formulas

[@Adb143]

Hi Marie could you share your opinion about Sodium Phytate and using it in formulation

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I've never worked with it, sorry.

[@melindanicole9116]

I always include a chelating agent in my bath products, especially anything that has any botanicals because it will help with preservation because it binds to the trace metal ions so that microbes can't eat it and thrive. If clarity is important go with tetrasodium EDTA, plus it dissolves faster than Disodium EDTA but it will dissolve. If you ever wanted to use SCMI in a liquid, definitely use tetrasodium EDTA because it will help with it's solubility and clarity. If natural is important than sodium phytate is a good choice, it has a high pH but because it is used in a small amount it shouldn't alter the pH of your product too much. But I always check your pH at the end to make sure it's in range. Citric acid is a mild chelator but I don't know how much you'd have to use to have it work, and if you have to use a lot you will end up with a very acidic product.

[@MSHOLLIEWOODS]

Hi, could I use Dr. Bronner's sensitive liquid soap to sub for the Plantapon SF NA?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I don't recommend and have an entire FAQ on why: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/can-i-use-soap-instead-of-foaming-surfactants/. Happy making!

[@MSHOLLIEWOODS]

If I followed the measurements to the t and it doesn't not lather as much, how much more Plantapon SF should I add to it?

[@eEasymed]

Can i replace the distilled water with rose hydrosol to give it fragrance instead of using a fragrance oil?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Yup! Just be sure to replace the fragrance oil with more distilled water to keep everything in balance.

[@kimberlywilson4048]

@HumbleebeeAndMe Finding Plantapon has been challenging in the USA. What would be an alternative, and the grams needed for the substitute?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hi! Have you read the free partner blog post yet? It includes a link to a US supplier + information on substitutions :)

[@kimberlywilson4048]

@@HumblebeeAndMe I did this afternoon. Thank you, I am new to the website 🙂. I am just finding Plantapon/Coco Glucose very expensive to formulate with as it's making the COG around $7. I will look into Iselux Ultra Mild. Thank you for the resources.

Please mention any other surfactant instead of plantapon that we can use in this formula ?bcoz here i can not find plantapon. Please reply

As always, substitutions are covered in the blog post encyclopedia entry for the ingredient. Please read them & happy making!
