I've purchased from this company before, and they sell quality ingredients. Making your own stuff can be fun. But it's also expensive.

[@judichristopher4604]

Personally... I like the older version better... maybe because it took the time to SHOW more and also it had the different ways to measure out the formula... But both are great... Thank YOU for sharing this.

[@darkostepanic132]

I love your videos, there's so much to learn. I was wondering can you make some video with simple ingredients that are not so hard to find and explain what these ingredients do. I mean can you make simple cream with just one emulsifier (the one that is less evil)?

[@Makingcosmetics]

Yes, Germall Plus or Optiphen work as well.

Yes, you can heat vitamin E to 70oC but only for a short time. At it as the last ingredient of phase A.

I love your work!! Very facinating and informative. I have an odd request, but I'm sure you have other viewers that would love my idea. Do you think you could make a lotion comparable to the Johnson and Johnson creamy baby lotion with aloe and vitamin E. It is very hard to find online. And is an incredible insect repellent without the chemical smell. It greatly sought after. And you would be doing the world a huge favor. Especially us flood victims dealing with mass amounts of insects and mosquitos. Or possibly make your own that you think would work as well. I would be willing to be your tester!! Thank you for your time if you're reading this. 😀

Thank you

The ingredient written on the packaging showed “Cetyl alcohol” but on your list you wrote Cetearyl Alcohol, what’s the difference? What’d you actually use ?

The recipe uses cetearyl alcohol as described above. However, cetyl alcohol which is very similar works too.

[@خلودالغامدي-ج9ك]

Hello In the event that I wanted to put (collagen powder or bleaching powder) on face beautification creams - at what stage can I add the powder? Is it when the cream is completely finished? Or boil it with distilled water? Or do I put it with melted wax or at any point exactly I want the powder to blend comfortably and perfectly with the cream mixture

[@Makingcosmetics]

In general, active ingredients such proteins, peptides, vitamins are often only added after the emulsification (at the end of the formulating process)

[@خلودالغامدي-ج9ك]

@@Makingcosmetics Yes, I did. I have made a facial beauty cream. In the last step, I put a whitening powder with collagen powder and put it in an electric mixer with the cream mixture. But when using it, I put the cream on my face. My creamy face was imbibed, but the powder did not absorb the skin. The powder was separated from the cream! The powder did not get in the pores, it continued to settle out of the skin. I don't know what the cause is! The powder was deposited on the surface of the skin and did not enter the facial pores

[@zinny7994]

@@خلودالغامدي-ج9ك maybe dissolve the powders in water taken from the water phase and then mix into you cooled down lotion
