I want to make a really good conditioning hair products!!!

[@MSUSPARTANS1973]

Who would give this video/series a thumbs down?? It's one thing if you're not into making your own cosmetics and such, but this is a FANTASTIC video/upcoming series chock full of information.

[@aries158]

i really like that she had a chemical approach and didnt promote mixing a lot of food and then put that on your skin

[@katelynnquain7785]

You probably know this already but she’s a biochemist!

[@andrewr76861]

Can you please go over peptides in skincare and whether or not they can actually penetrate skin even with phospholipids in the formula???? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

[@patriciaivelissevazquez6532]

I would like to make chemical exfoliants for sensitive skin.

[@sharroon7574]

Have yoi tried enzymes? Love them so much

[@theevellcorral]

Can you please show us how to make organic shampoo and conditioner? Something that will grow our hair naturally. Not a thickener with sea salt. Thank you so much for your videos. They are FABULOUS!

[@chicky875]

interested in how to make a gentle hydrating facial cleanser. love this idea for a series! thanks for sharing your knowledge with us ☺️

[@ayemeebee]

I would love to see your take on an emulsifying cleansing balm such as Clinique Take The Day Off, or an emulsifying cleansing oil. Thanks!

[@nicksurfs1]

Amy Bibbings I was just thinking the same thing! It’s funny how as soon as I come up with an idea or curiosity Kenna releases a video about it. Haha

[@thefxmua4269]

I would love to know about eyeshadows, foundations, lip products and glycerine based serums along with the cleansing cream/balm! Literally love your channel it’s fascinating!🖤👌🏻

[@allisonkauff9907]

I am so excited for this series! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences with us!

[@jennycordero7208]

Would love to make a good moisturizing conditioner for dry frizzy wavy hair that will do good in the Florida humid weather but doesn’t contain glycerin. Also a leave in

[@lalala2570]

I would love to make a moisturizer/serum with ingredients like niacinamide and resveratrol! 💓

[@jcjccmz]

You are so amazing! I NEED to approximately dupe the Shiseido softening lotion (toner) that I've been using for almost 10 years and which has been discontinued with no warning. I have been going through almost 100 other Japanese/Asian/non-Asian softening lotions/toners' formulas to see if any of them are at all similar. The original had a dye and fragrance as last ingredient. I would prefer to make mine without them, but with a preservative that stabilizes the formula. This is the ingredients list for the Shiseido toner (Pureness Softening Lotion Alcohol-Free): Water, Dipropylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Palo Azul Wood Extract, Xylitol, PPG-13 Decyltetradeceth-24, Sodium Citrate, Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Citric Acid, Dimorpholinopyridazinone, Magnesium Chloride, Peony Root Extract, Saxifraga Sarmentosa Extract, Rosemary Extract, Calcium Chloride, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Benzoic Acid, Fragrance, Yellow 5, Green 3 . The alternative is to take a similar formula and see what to add or change to make it more like the toner I need for my skin to be normal. The closest is Clinique's Moisture Surge Face Spray which shares the top four ingredients, but it is not hydrating to my skin at all. The closer formula is Cle de Peau Beaute Hydro Softening Lotion but it is fricking $115 and fragrance is far higher on the ingredients list, although it shares the top 7 ingredients and 4 of the last 7 ingredients. Still, I'm not allowing myself to buy that! LOL. I'm also interested in a hydrating/repairing fragrance free shampoo and conditioner for my color treated hair. I hope you can help. Thank you so much!!! Cheers, Julie

[@SSNUTHIN]

I've been literally looking into making my own shampoo and conditioner and i have been stressed about finding trusted suppliers. Thank you for this!

[@TheMelihdzi]

First of all I would to say that my super excited about this series. I am a chemist myself, and I currently work at the chemical plant that is more related to the oil and gas industry. Therefore my overall knowledge in the chemistry related to skincare and cosmetics is pretty limited, since it is not something that I learned in college or that I do at my current job. If I had to pick and choose, I would like to learn more about lipstick formulations. You mentioned in a previous video that formulations that contain both lipids and hydrophilic ingredients have a higher risk of micro-contamination. It would he nice to learn about the ingredients needed for a lipstick and how much of what and the WHY. It is my assumption that all lipsticks need a basic formula and they all have different percentages of dyes for the different colors (I could be 100% wrong about this lol) As you mentioned in the video, the websites have examples of different formulations, but they do not really explain the why. I suppose that if they did all makeup companies would go broke. Anyway, I love your channel💕 I hope that in a future video you could explain more about the science behind the ingredients. Maybe I am a little bias because of my background, and I am self aware that not everyone will be interested, but it will definitely help me understand why there are some lipstick that cost $2.99 (Wet and Wild) vs $40.00 (Pat McGrath) like why is the price justified 🤔 Just writing thoughts in here lol

[@ilovecreepyclowns]

I love this Kenna! Thank you so much! I am 51, and very fortunately have been blessed with youthful skin. My skincare routine started at 13, as Mom said due to the hormonal breakouts my skin would need extra tlc.... So skincare is 2nd nature to me. So 5 years ago I started making my own nutritional supplements and decided to start with skincare too. Initially it was very very basic masks, oils for the body, soaps, body lotions etc. Then I started buying Resveratrol, amino acids, euk, ascorbic acid, squalane, retinol, hyaluronic acid, etc and making small batches of serums and creams. My Vit C serum I mix daily on my hand, so I know it hasn't oxidised. So, this series is brilliant for me to go to the next level so THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH. I love it, and I love your channel. Thank you Kenna 😘 A product I would be very interested in making would be The Ordinary Buffet with copper. That product is a game changer for mature skins xxx

[@JeanPantZA]

I have been adding all sorts of oils and additives to my shampoo and conditioner to help keep my hair healthy and to keep it growing thicker and stronger because I do lose a lot of hair. I would love to get your perspective on this.

[@ange9057]

I am really interested in making my own shampoo and conditioner :) also a facial cream and mask would be nice as my skin is so sensitive and often I just get red burning skin after applying a hydrating mask from the drugstore 🙁 thank you so much for this video!!

[@katelynnquain7785]

Did it have fragrance? I have sensitive skin and that’s one of my triggers

[@isabellebeaudoin]

How to sterilized, clean bottle ( like airless pup bottle) so we can reused them safely. Thank you!!!

[@sharroon7574]

I have heard you can clean with soap, dry and spray with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry

[@imsh1809]

I'd like to make face wash bars without sls or coconut oil

[@rosementha]

I would love to make a great hydrating aloe base body butter

[@yakata79]

Great resource! Saving. Helpful that you recommended websites where you can learn about different ingredients just by how the site is categorized. Like making cosmetics, lotion crafter etc.

[@aherfi12]

I've been thinking about trying to make my own skincare products but I didn't really know where to start, thank you so much for uploading this, it's a great insight into making cosmetic products from scratch and being in more control of your own ingredients. Cant wait for the rest of the series.

[@moodybaby3296]

Thanks for the vid! It's all such useful info - could you help us understand how to calculate expiration dates for if we want to make a hand cream or something using organic matter like dried flowers or flower infused oil or something? I'm a new sub and very confused about how to have confidence gifting someone a handmade cosmetic

[@Midlife_Manical_Mayhem]

thank you! i've been a soap maker for 20 years. i've made a few basic skin care items in the past, but am planning to expand more beyond lotion or simple moisturizer.

[@beccak.2217]

Thank you so much! I'm interested in making face and body oils, body lotions, body wash, and if possible facial cleansers.

[@nirvanaelements]

Fantastic I can't wait to see how you formulate Kenna. I have been making my own skincare and hair care at home for the past 10 years as a hobby and it's so much fun. One thing that I have learned on this journey is not order large quantities of raw materials as they have a shelf life and you want to be able to use them up before they expire. I love surfactants and all types of emulsifiers, including ones like Sepinov 10, AVC, etc. I live in Australia so I am limited to where I can get my raw materials. New Directions Australia have a lot of them and Aussie Soap Supplies have some really good surfactants and some beginner books for lotions and shampoo etc. Kenna I know this is jumping the gun a bit but I would love to see some Korean type formulas for skincare! 👍👏😍

[@camcat26]

Hair gel is one I've liked to learn. I either have to shell out or risk some cheap having way too much alcohol and drying out my hair. I keep reading about DIY recipes from boiling flax seeds, but I've never tried it.

[@diannahampton-dowson2224]

Love this series! Can't wait to hear more! Would love to learn to make serums and moisturizers!

[@ashapasha4528]

I’d love to learn how to make sunscreen and moisturizer!

[@hannahmckone6648]

This is awesome I've been thinking about making my own moisturizer for a while now!

[@lucretiastephenson3901]

I would love to know how to make some fragrance free basic skin care. Is there some sort of starter kit that you could recommend? I of course will check out the links you provided.

[@MoonshineStephanie]

Things like facial cleansers(acne targeted) and facial moisturizers would be interesting. 🙂 Can’t wait for the rest of the series!

[@shannonfreese607]

This video is suprr helpful. I'd love to try making a moisturizer or serum.

[@dragana004]

Great video, love it. I would love to do an oil cleanser.

[@luminalgenie]

Very excited for this series! I think I would love to know how to make basics that we use everyday like lip balm and soap for the body. Also the science babes merch looks awesome and the fringe really suits you! Thank you so much for this content

[@dez8308]

This video could not have come at a better time! I’ve been trying to start my own lipgloss business and have been having a hard time finding natural ingredients.

[@AMbrittni]

I really appreciation your selfless sharing of knowledge!!

[@skbell520]

Ingredients for hair growth!

[@torooji]

I would love suggestions on making lotions - specifically something you'd feel comfortable using on a child's dry skin. My daughter gets dry skin on her arms and legs. Our pediatrician has us use an antibiotic cream when it gets really bad but most of the time it is just normal dry skin.

[@tiaparrinello123]

Products of interest: basic cleanser for sensitive acne prone-skin and serum of any kind. Additionally, I think it would be incredibly helpful if you were to explain (or show) a basic layout of your most used equipment and safe handling (sterilization and how to not contaminate products). Thank you again for your guidance!

[@44DHernandez]

OMG! Sooo many ideas! I've been making all my own skincare for a few years now. I want to start adding more actives, such as vitamin C, AHAs, etc., but am nervous there may be specific formulation requirements to ensure their efficacy. Also, I am interested in working with surfactants for making my own shampoo and conditioner.

[@BrownEyedGirl.]

Yeeeeeeees! I was about to ask for this kind of series, omg thank you so much Kenna. I get so confused when using formulas, percentage and ph of actives. For example, I would love to know how to make a chemical exfoliant, how much aha's/ bha's should I add to a base cream, how can we tell the pH on every formulation, etc.

[@rhiannonh5202]

YESSSS . so excited for this series

[@AmythystWeeks]

I love this series idea! I will be following!

[@artemisno3943]

An anti-irritation calming serum/gel for sensitive skin would be dreamy!

[@nataliafernandez8194]

Kenna, could you make a vídeo about pH buffers?

[@GreenBeautyCurator]

Thank you, Kenna! Such useful information!

[@VTSEA213]

This is awesome, i cant eait to see what you make. Cleansers & moiturisers would be cool to see.

[@kelly811543]

You look dope with the bangs 🖤🖤

[@alicedsouza2528]

Thanks for this informative video I have a question but it unrelated to the video...Are the effects of arbutin temporary or permanent??? I donot have melasma or any major hyperpigmentation issues, just an uneven skin tone due to sun damage

[@samleiva1735]

If you have any idea how to make an extra hold curl enhancer/cream, I would GREATLY appreciate it.

[@somegirljesskent]

Hair conditioner!

[@UndercoverChemist]

Wow, this is a great video! I'd like to make my own lotions and moisturizer for my body. I'd like to incorporate Urea, Lactic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and naicinamide into my lotions/moisturizers! Thanks os much Kenna!

[@adrianamoreno2776]

How did you actually learn how create your products? Did do research on each ingredient? I just found your page 2weeks ago and I can’t get enough! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@shelbytrue4660]

I’ve been making my own skincare, body butters and some makeup for a few years now. I’ve recently started trying plant based emulsifiers and I would love a video comparing plant based and other emulsifiers. But, that would be a more advanced video probably.

[@Common_girl_Kay]

Im so glad I found this video! I’ve been making my own hair masks and conditioners for a while and recently decided to try my hand at leave ins and hair milks. I discovered botanicplanet.ca for raw materials. It’s a company based in Ontario. Their prices and shipping costs were the best I could find online. But it should be noted that a lot of diy stores selling raw materials in bulk have been popping up here and there in local communities so you might even have a store near you! Thank you for the tips Kenna!

[@chezgirlrose7654]

Thank you Kenna, very informative video, I was wondering where to buy all the beginners stuff, also I’m going to be definitely checking out the websites you’ve mentioned. #sciencebabe right here 💕🌺💕

[@graceblum217]

i've been really wanting too make a toner and also foundations, i know how to make a lot of makeup products already but the one thing i can't find an actually chemical recipe for is foundation. The only "recipes" are to add sunscreen to your favorite foundation or to add moisturizer to mineral foundation.

[@audreyproulx6125]

Hi Kenna, This is awesome! I would like to know more about formulating chemical exfoliants (acid salicylic)

[@kiyakia]

Oil cleaner would be great! I've made my own for quite sometime now and I would love to hear your input/professional opinion

[@kathy3178]

I have very sensitive skin. I want to make my own facial cleanser and also something that helps with the fine lines settling in. I also would like to make my own fragrance hypoallergenic free shampoo and conditioner.

[@fashionfitnessfinance3622]

Oh I’m so excited about this! I’d love to learn how to make a vitamin c serum at the skinceuticals PH, and also a niacinimide serum.

[@Jordanbushieduh]

I would love to be able to make a hydrating mist with ingredients like HA, antioxidants (resveratrol, ferulic acid, etc.) And a hydrosol.

[@danielaschulman127]

Is there any possibility you could mention some suppliers located in Europe? Google gives all kinds of results and it's so difficult to know which ones are good. I'd love to make a hydrating toner for very sensitive skin, but ordering anything to Finland from the US is probably not worth the shipping and taxes. Love this new series and I'm looking forward to the next video!

[@nibs8837]

THIS is going to be FUN! I'm recovering from the effects of medication used to suppress my overactive immune system. Now I need to research how I can help my skin and hair and nails stabilize and become healthy again!

[@throwawaytaylor]

Hell yes! Thank you! Power to the people!

[@emilydenomme2902]

Ok I would love to learn how to make a face spray/ toner type of thing. Like imagine the lush tea trees water type of idea. Those things always seem way too expensive for what, water and tea tree oil? But also I'm always worried like what type of water do I need, etc. So help!!!

What do you recommend to sanitize equipment/tools and cosmetic bottles/jars? Thank you!

Hair mask for freezy, thick hair :)

[@Tiffany-gz7wt]

Lotioncrafter: Best prices, SDS pdfs & formulas, if they're able to package your order cheaper they will refund you the difference on shipping. Makingcosmetics: They've got ingredients you can't find anywhere else (amodimethicone, etc), SDS & sample formula pdf. Saffireblue: Decent, until you need customer service, then they are crazy vindictive. Not mentioned suppliers: Makeyourownbuzz: Least expensive (SCI powder can be as low as $7/lb!), but least variety of products. Smallest purchasable size sometimes is 1lb. Formulatorsampleshop: Amazing variety, sometimes better prices than Lotioncrafter's, great for hard to find hair ingredients (only place I can find Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein PG-Propyl Silanetriol).
