I learned the hard way not to use coconut oil in homemade products. I forgot that in cold it gets hard and, since the water isn’t always warm coming out of the pipe, the coconut oil completely clogged up my pipes. The plumber was like, “I’ve never seen oil clogging up bathroom pipes before”. It hit me that very second that it was my coconut oil DIY beauty products. He showed me the inside of the pipe… it was totally full of white coconut oil!!! Wow!

[@dryvonneburkart]

Wow good to know! This hasn’t happened to me maybe because the amount of coconut oil in the bit I use to remove makeup is low and I wipe the oil with a towel so it’s not entirely going down the drain.

[@RebelTheRealRebel]

Do you not run enough hot water down your drain?

[@CatrionaRuadh7]

Looks great! Some, like me, may want to switch out the coconut oil though, because it is highly comedogenic (clogs pores). Many have no problem with it but good to be aware. You can easily look up the comedogenic rating of different oils (beeswax is not comedogenic btw).

Thanks for sharing!

[@GoTheExtraStyle]

Thank you for this recipe!! I have never thought about making my own!

[@dryvonneburkart]

You are so welcome! Will you give it a try?

[@enchanted222]

Oil cleansing changed my life! Thank you ❤

[@dryvonneburkart]

Mine too!

[@dryvonneburkart]

Thanks for watching! Have you ever tried DIY'ing your own skincare products?

[@paulcarlachapman628]

I have made Galen's Cleansing Creme several times and liked it a lot. At the moment, I don't have the ingredients, but will probably get them soon.

[@monicanovoa7452]

Yes love it. Looking to make a face serum stick.

[@dryvonneburkart]

That sounds amazing!

[@jasnadao]

I love it! Thank you for showing us how to make it 🤩

[@dryvonneburkart]

I just had to share when I found out how simple & quick it is to make your own organic skincare products!

[@michellelockett6518]

Yes I have and it’s really fun x thanks for the recipe

[@elizabethmcnally3037]

Yes.

[@helukb5606]

Yes!

[@beautybyshasheree3625]

Yes

[@lyndsey4913]

I love making diy products but I’m really unsure about which essential oils are best and if there are cheap scam types to avoid? I’ve tried looking to see if you’ve made a video on this but can’t see anything. Any tips apart from looking for organic?

[@jennm114]

I definitely want to try this !

[@dryvonneburkart]

Awesome! Please let me know how it goes. Have you ever DIY'd skin products before?

[@teapot1991]

That was a grea video..Thank you. I have been wanting to make my own skincare for a long time. Just subscribed to your channel.

[@dryvonneburkart]

Yay! Thank you! Do you have any particular products you'd like to make?

[@DrLaraZib]

Wow that really is affordable, and quick. Looks amazing :-)

[@dryvonneburkart]

It really is! I was so surprised when I did the calculations. Have you ever thought about making your own products?

[@imeldahiggins-wiffle8302]

Great video!! Thank you!!!

[@dryvonneburkart]

THANKS SO MUCH! Are you making your own balm?

[@imeldahiggins-wiffle8302]

@@dryvonneburkart Yes I am just getting started and I love the oil cleansing!!!

[@luisaranda893]

Hiii, how about the brand lush? They claim to be clean and usually offer this type of cleansing balms

[@thepuzzledgoddess]

Yes 🙌🏼

[@HK-cp8tm]

Hey @Yvonne Burkart, PhD, DABT this was great! Thank you :-) Would you consider doing a video on natural body moisturises?

[@dryvonneburkart]

Thanks for watching 😊 Do you mean a DIY natural moisturizer?

[@HK-cp8tm]

@@dryvonneburkart Hello! Yes, I came across your channel and I love your science background and focus. There are so many channels that show DIY body butters but I haven't been able to find a good moisturizer DIY that is natural. Congratulations on your baby and God bless!

[@stitchedbyfitz]

Hi! I'm curious as to why you used wooden utensils to stir as opposed to metal?

[@dryvonneburkart]

Thanks for watching! Great question 🙏🏽 Metal caused my balm to cool unevenly and didn’t combine well when adding the essential oil.

[@TheSreefa]

Hi is there a substitute I can use instead of the coconut oil??

[@dryvonneburkart]

Thanks for your question! I would try organic olive oil but you may need to experiment with adding slightly more beeswax so it will stay solid at room temperature. I hope this helps!

[@kinparikh2042]

1 tbsp Olive oil 1 thsp Almond oil 1 tbsp coconut oil 1tbsp beewax Few drop essential oil of your choice ...thank me later

[@dryvonneburkart]

Love it. I'm experimenting with plant waxes now!

[@chiyubyanna]

Thank u for the great video! If i were to use candelila wax instead of beeswax to make it vegan, do i put the as same amount of candelila as beeswax?

[@dryvonneburkart]

I would assume so, but you’d have to try to be sure. Sometimes plant waxes behave differently than beeswax.

[@YOGALIFEwithAmelia]

this is a great DIY !

[@dryvonneburkart]

Thanks for watching 😃 So glad you enjoyed it! Have you tried making a cleansing balm?

[@jennm114]

What store did you buy the little glass amber jar? The amber color keeps the light out right ?

[@dryvonneburkart]

Oh sorry I forgot to add a link to a similar one on Amazon. The one I got was from Whole Foods made by Aura Cacia and it's a 4oz jar. It was much more expensive buying it individually than getting 12 at a time on Amazon. amzn.to/38l4yeJ

[@jumanakhorrami4305]

What can I substitute the avo oil with?

[@dryvonneburkart]

Avocado oil is a medium to slow absorbing oil so I would suggest sweet almond oil. Do you have access to it?

[@cassandramalloy]

Yes, I have =)

[@dryvonneburkart]

Awesome! What have you made?

[@cassandramalloy]

@@dryvonneburkart : I've made an Organic Body Scrub with coconut oil, sugar, essential oils, and coffee grounds. I use my homemade concoction A LOT during the summertime, especially as an exfoliator before doing self-tanners. I also like to use it before strutting out in my bikini or when wearing short-shorts, because it makes me feel more confident (I've heard that the caffeine in coffee grounds may help reduce the appearance of cellulite). It leaves the skin super soft and smooth and smells amazing! I also make my husband an after-shave moisturizer using shea butter and some invigorating essential oils that he loves.

[@Diana-mu9vd]

Safe for congested blackhead prone skin?

[@CrystalVolgenau]

Is vaseline okay to use?

[@YeddasMethod]

We've got to share your videos all over. :-)

[@dryvonneburkart]

Please do! You’re the best!

[@loridupuy1428]

What is the purpose of the beeswax? Can you make it without that ingredient? Do you have recipes for other DIY's?

[@dryvonneburkart]

It makes it hard at room temperature. You could substitute with Candelilla wax if you prefer it to be vegan or omit it altogether and just use it as an oil. I've used an organic cleansing oil and it's great. The only difference is that it's liquid so a little messier. I'll be posting more DIYs soon! Any requests?

[@cdg4862]

What about just using coconut oil?

[@dryvonneburkart]

It can clog pores for some folks.

[@TheOldMayfieldPlace]

Have you ever added sugar to this recipe to make a sugar, exfoliating scrub? If so, did it work well? Great video.

[@dryvonneburkart]

That's an amazing idea! I didn't think of that, but yes, I think it would work great! You could get away with skipping the beeswax, which is used mainly to keep the balm solid at room temperature. I've made sugar scrubs with olive oil, which was amazing. Will you try making yourself a scrub?

[@TheOldMayfieldPlace]

@@dryvonneburkart Yes, I will.

[@dryvonneburkart]

@@TheOldMayfieldPlace Awesome! Please let me know how it goes.

[@danellemichel]

wow cleansing balm is just oils?!?!?!? i had no idea!

[@dryvonneburkart]

Yes pretty much just oil and wax 😃

[@khakemadina9686]

Self life ?

[@dryvonneburkart]

Thanks for your comment. I've kept mine for over 6 months in a dark colored glass jar protected from light. I believe that adding antioxidants such as vitamin E can extend the shelf life significantly. I prefer to make small batches so it's always fresh. Have you tried making it yet?

[@wendymcintosh3692]

Yes
