[@madebykelcosmetics8889]

Your content is amazing 👏🏽👏🏽

[@MsMarketing01]

Omg... I just love this video! I love how you shared your trial and errors with us! I’m not sure I’m comfortable making this myself but it’s definitely worth giving a try. Thank you for sharing. I’m so loving all your videos 🙏

[@theycallmekurn]

I watched until the end...thanks for the sulfate free version. I'm making this!

[@amritsarikoolchaexpress9253]

Sles to capb ratio is also important in thickening

[@haseebsheikh416]

I wana make big quantity please mention formula big quantity

[@justrusheeda6592]

I love how you took us through the trial and error process of it all. It turned out amazing.

[@WholeElise]

Aww thank you! Haha yes I wanted to show how I realistically approach making DIYs - it's not all smooth sailings 😅💚

[@hfp3717]

Perhaps the most enlightening DIY video I've seen for personal care products. The visuals and the explanations are super on point. Well done!

[@farrahc7055]

$40 for hand wash??😱 I'm glad someone's giving these big name brands a run for their money. Well done Elise. 15.11.2020

[@WholeElise]

Haha yeah every wash is a financial investment 😂. Thanks Farrah!

[@Bruno-dq9mv]

[@waynegross2113]

Your formulation for the more natural soap is amaze balls, lol!

[@WholeElise]

Fantastic outcome!!! I use the original hand soap which is gorgeous. Will definitely try your lovely creation.

[@WholeElise]

Thanks so much 😊

Yay!!! You're back!!!!! Absolutely loved this video and the direction your channel is going in. Will miss having weekly videos though! Will definitely be giving your more natural version a go 👍👍👍

[@WholeElise]

Yay, thanks hun! I'm so glad 💚

[@tainoroyal6585]

This is such a unique channel, I LOVE it! Thanks also for giving the essential of recipe, I am going to use this in my other homemade cosmetics

[@sss201106]

You are such a lovely soul sis ! Lots of love

[@WholeElise]

Thank you! 😊

[@lennyguerrerofeliciano8565]

Hi Elise, I know it’s an old video, but I just wanted to let you know that what ruin your first batch was the electric whisker, I’m not sure if it’s with all surfactants but SLES doesn’t like electric whisks nor immersion blenders, not even salt fix that, also when adding salt if you use too much it will water down the formula instead of thicken it, I’d found it sweet spot is between 2% - 3%, another tip, is that SLES can be thicken up with cocamidopropyl betaine if salt fails, I hope this helps

[@newhorizons9446]

Absolutely love this. Really well done. Thankyou. Well edited and fun.

[@Brie6672]

I love this video. Love this channel, your voice is so calming!

[@brendastory109]

This looks great! I love the version you did that is more gentle and I think I actually have all the ingredients on hand so I’m looking forward to trying it. Well done on your cute label too. Your videos are so relaxing and fun to watch, thanks for sharing them :)

[@stephanietang3716]

Did you end up make this recipe? How did it turn out? :)

[@gmax3925]

Thanks Elise. I've had success with several of your recipes and I'll definitely have a go at this one. I would love a recreation of the Aesop Hand cream. It's by the the best I've found.

[@crystaloofwoof9089]

Hi, have you tried it out? How's the result!

[@artycrafty9209]

Thank you Elise, that was so very instructional and informative, a huge thumbs up for dedicating your time to experimenting, certainly after my own heart there. One thing I have learned re thickening which as we know is an absolute nightmare even using gums which sometimes look very successful in the beginning but after time can settle on the bottom in a gloop. Adding the C Betaine as the last ingredient actually does thicken the product, why I don't know but it certainly makes a difference. Thank you again.

[@jaysonx5576]

I landed on this looking for hand soap recs. Your voice is pure ASMR. 😊

[@garciabreu]

Fun fact that I learned wasting a lot of product: sulfates should be combined as one phase (phase A), glycerin water and others in another phase (phase B) and essential oils (phase c), then adjust the pH and then add the salt, it should be between 0.5 -1% if you use more the product will be liquid no matter how much salt you use. It is important that the pH is adjusted so that the salt also works. Hope it works for someone.

[@theorganicladyofthe757]

Thank you for sharing! Will definitely try this recipe

[@rashasilver5663]

my congratulation for you ... wow wow ...proud of you ... keep going girl

[@WholeElise]

Thanks so much hun! 💚

[@naturalgirldiy]

Love you channel and love the website too. This was an awesome video.

[@WholeElise]

I'm so glad! Thank my lovely 😊

[@rara-cf8tx]

I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!, I found it today and I am very happy to see how much value is in it. Thank you and and I'm sure you will build an amazing channel ... To be honest, it's already an excellent channel 😊.

[@dipsi111]

I think coumarin would be a really cool ingredient to use for scent. However its quite expensive to buy pure coumarin just for this purpose but tonka extract also contains lots of coumarin and it works well with lavender and myrrh. :) love the video

[@camjamcam1]

Kudos to you for being so scientifically adventuresome!

[@WholeElise]

Thank you! 😊

[@Iamrogueraven]

Your channel looks so professional! You are gonna be a huge channel! I love the content and the your videography is amazing! You are gorgeous and very knowledgeable. 🤙🏻❤️🙂

[@WholeElise]

Thank you so much!! 😊

[@Coppertoe]

Thank you for for this! I just got all the ingredients to make it. So excited! Do you think it's gentle enough for the face? Did you try thickening with Cationic Guar and decide the Xanthan was better? More Aesop & Typology dupes, please!💕

[@typy7616]

I love your competence. So refreshing 👏👏👏👏

[@theycallmekurn]

I always love how you break everything down. I personally stay away from SLS and SLES ingredients altogether, so I will try to make this with another surfactant.

[@felixpirker146]

Would you be so kind to share if you were successful in doing so and what you used? Would love to hear if it worked for you!

[@_Amaurie_]

Can you do a reverse "kinky curly knot today" video please? I am very interested in the properties of the listed ingredients.

[@serialwriteher2467]

Signal boosting this comment. I would also love to see a version of KCNT.

[@nirvanaelements]

Great video! subscribed! Glad you didn't give up and showed us your first formulations! Its looks like so much fun trying to make Aesop Hand wash. I managed to make the body exfoliator, took me lots of attempts but I didn't give up and now have the product in my bathroom. I do have all the raw materials for it and I might give the hand wash a go too, thanks for sharing your ideas and alternatives. Also Iselux (SLMI) is a wonderful anionic surfactant if you can get it. Nice production on camera/sound and editing looks fantastic. I'm in Australia and we have Aesop stores here so we can try out all the products, they are really lovely, the scent however is really difficult to copy. I have tried the geranium fragrance but it's just not the same. Look forward to seeing more of your creations!

[@WholeElise]

Aww welcome! Yeah it can take a few attempts to get it right but it's always so rewarding when you do! Thanks so much for watching 😊

[@nirvanaelements]

@@WholeElise thanks, look forward to all your future formulations! 😉

[@g56780zfgj]

Amazing. I love watching

[@brownsugarcoffee1]

I am going to make this you are the bomb. I appreciate you❤️😍🥰

[@WholeElise]

Aww thank you so much! 😊

[@amarab4404]

Hello, I love your videos! They’re very informational and easy to follow. Recently I have been looking around for a nontoxic hand soap and even the clean brands that are rated 100 on the Yuka app have shady ingredients. I was wondering if you would consider creating a video on how to make a simple hand soap. Thing are really starting to feel helpless, so you’d truly be a lifesaver.

[@aprilfraize2168]

Loved this tutorial! Very informative, thank you!

[@superagentHH]

Great video 👍🏼 one question through : can I just buy a fragrance free hand soap and just mix in the essential oils for a similar result?

[@tiffanyernestine3156]

Determination! Love it!

[@wojtekart4950]

Beautiful ❤ and makes me smile thinking in order to create something 'luxurious' (not my favourite marketing word) imagination and passion are most important

[@sherryldavies9856]

Absolutely love your beautiful video. Thank you so much 👏🏼✨✨✨😅👏🏼✨✨✨✨

[@lizethapatriciamatutejaram7985]

Hermoso trabajo. Gracias 😊

[@elizabethpolley7125]

I love this! Any recommendations for store bought unscented alternatives that are close and maybe more gentle… something you recommend would be great.

[@earlgrae]

What a wonderful video, what a wonderful lady! Thanks Elise :-)

[@shunwilliams6180]

Beautiful thank you so much for sharing ♥️♥️♥️

[@lashonnamarie8549]

I love your channel❤❤❤

[@nicetry2192]

Nice! And do you have any ideas about the exfoliating stuff in aesop?

[@sherrikatnic1744]

I am looking for the "Reverance" Scent... and I was reading that they use fine milled pumice... @WholeElise... I hope you read this... and I hope you can reverse enginner the Reverance collection as well... The bergamont smell is so delicious in that recipe plus the pumice is perfect for scrubbing hands exactly clean.....

[@Ahmahamother]

It would be good you also had your own online shop where we could buy from you. Great video!

[@juliaf.7729]

Wow Elise, that's so awesome. Definitely want to try this myself ❤❤❤

[@WholeElise]

Aww that's great, thanks for watching Julia 😊

[@madeleinemacdonald3381]

How long does it last once made? Love this idea 😍

[@hizzgurrl]

YOUR CONTENT IS AMAZING! I am so happy I came across this channel. Could you tell me how did you print that beautiful label?

[@MissyG12]

what qualification would you recomend to learn all of this information, please?

[@shar687]

Cosmetologist

[@krugirl1844]

I would definitely try the one with milder surfactants for my sensitive skin. Thank you 😊! Ps ❤️ur channel!

[@WholeElise]

Awesome, thank you! 😊

[@vflavius]

Great video! Where did you get the labels?

[@WholeElise]

Thank you! I made them myself 😊

[@rachelfrombefore]

This is too cool!

[@witchhazel8583]

Wow!!! Easy to listen to, nice acting, educational and One really want's to make some! I Will surely recommend you to My friends! Maura☘️

[@WholeElise]

Aww thank you! I'm so glad you found it helpful 😊

[@deenflower8454]

Hi so impressed by this video. Thanks. But u didn't add emulsifier dear?

[@user-go3wq3de1p]

Can i use your luxury handwash recipe as a bodywash or do i need to make some adjustments to make it more moisturising or give it more lather?

[@tiffanyernestine3156]

Yea sis, I’m still with you. Test number 5

[@tashak1839]

Hi. Is there anything that can be subbed for the hydrogenated castor oil?

[@destinyjenkins2603]

What label company did you use I really like the wrap around look

[@konigaessentialoils9613]

Hi Elsie. What other product can one use for this great hand wash besides Phenoxyethanol?

[@goody1778]

Hi elise I think you should make a video on how to make a simple hand wash amd not a expensive one as there are hardly any other videos on KZbin on how to make a simple hand wash

[@jocelynemartinez9209]

Would you consider making the Reverence Hand Soap?

[@phi3ph13]

Hello, do you share the template for the label?

[@prasoonalaxmi4538]

Thanks a lot sharing all these formulas. Your videos and explanations had cleared all the hypothesis about the luxurious brands. Can I start a small business following your formulation. What will be shelf life of your products Please help me out

[@tripllleee333takeover7]

Hey can you show us to natural extra hold jam please

[@chasegova]

How do you make your labels ?

[@abel.darmawan]

I was wondering for your 1st phase, how long does it take for everything to melt? :)

[@WarvionOne]

I did the final version, and it smells like chemicals... is it because of the surfactants, or am I doing something wrong. I did use the essential oils ( the store bought, doesn't)

[@SonyaTheAwesome]

Hi there, I can't get easy access to peg-40 castor oil, but I am able to find peg-50 shea butter, would that likely work as well?

[@CDGMR1]

Would be nice to have the direct links to purchase the ingredients.

[@scottrichardson8960]

You're pretty and smart🥺

[@kymberlyashman1795]

Hi i know this an old post but wanted to try the hand wash and confused as to whether your saying i need SLS OR SLES? I hope you get this! I have also subscribed so I hope there will be more of these as really informative Thank you! Kymberly

[@alwyngreen7205]

You could try Agar Agar to thicken

[@aikaryna]

Hi where can i buy these ingredients? Ty

[@MuhammadFaisal-nu6il]

Pls tell me the alternative to PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil as it's not available here in my home country Pakistan

[@edgargarciahernandez2476]

Can you teach me how to do the body wash?

[@MaresBarres]

2:47 Me at the airport. 😀

[@WholeElise]

LOL I can't! 😂💚

[@QueenSnare]

You deserve ALL the likes 👍 for this video 😂 Love your content 🔥

[@weeesah]

hi can i request something? i have this skincare that i really want to recreate but its so hard to formulate. its a yogurt sleeping mask that has peaches extract in it. want to make it into a moisturizer as well. the ingredients are: Water, Stabilized Coconut Milk, Vegan Yogurt, VCO, Glycerin, Benzalkonium Chloride (From Salt) Peaches and Cream Natural Fruit Extract, Cetyl Ctearyl (Plant derived from Coconut), Lactic Acid, Ionic Acid (Anti pathogenic, Anti fungal) Pro Vitamin B5, Natural Alpha Tocopherol (Antioxidants) Vitamin C, Sodium Benzoate (From Salt)

[@maheenghayasrafique5468]

I think guar gum would make a clearer handwash as ashops.. But I haven't tried that... It a great DIY ♥️

[@WholeElise]

Absolutely! Guar gum has better viscosity compared to xanthan gum but I tend to have hit or miss experiences with it - I definitely want to experiment with it more though 😊

[@yasmine3784]

I love you’re channel! I would really LOVE it if you could try and recreate: ‘Image daily matte moisturizer with SPF 32? After seeing this, it really made me wonder, why it costs 49 euro’s? Lot’s of Love From Belguim!

[@A_and_M_Beauty_Co.]

can you please do an aussie hair product dupe

[@TT-oz1wf]

I am in the process of making your Luxury hand wash, Do I need preservative eco and citric acid in this one? X

[@nyaheadley]

This is amazing thank you. I have just found you and subscribed. I will definitely be experimenting with making more of my own products. Can I use this from naturally thinking instead of presevertive Eco? - Dehydroacetic acid & Benzyl alcohol (GFecosafe / Preservative Eco equivelent) Only because I can get everything else there and its close to where I live Thank you again

[@kimberlywallace175]

Something is missing. This left my hands a little dry. What can be added to make it more moisturizing?

[@volume2able]

I am having the same problem... I have tried adding oils to moisturise, but it keeps separating. Did you manage to sort out this problem? And would you be willing to share?

[@gracekelly3417]

💗 your dupe video

[@WholeElise]

Thank you! 😊

[@lonardlis]

Thank you for making this video. I really enjoy the whole process. And you are absolutely gorgeous and elegant. I do think aesop is so overpriced. But they do a good job on branding and marketing tho.

[@WholeElise]

Haha definitely, and thank you so much! 😊

[@danielantoniozd26]

Cool!

[@DWOOP]

Hi, great video! I am glad I have been looking for how to make hair gel it brought me to your channel.! Have you study chemistry to be a chemist? All of your videos are amazing in the formulas of ingredients to mix in making hair and skin products! Wonderful to make something yourself by just trying and it comes out very well. Your W logo looks like Walgreens. Lol! I just had notice right away. Very professional presentation and narration of DIY. I don't like Sodium Laurel Sulfate which is a foaming agent that is used in commercial hair shampoos, body washes, tooth paste and dish washing liquid. I have issues with SLS that of drying the skin and allergies. I have to avoid it at all cost. What is the name of the essential oils you use?

[@pilardiaz3669]

I think your creamy body wash is much more luxorius and mostiurs the best. Thanks for your experiment anyway. Greetings from Chile

[@mauroterrazas8472]

I loved your natural version ♥️ But in this version you didn’t use a conservative, is it necessary? Thank you for sharing.

[@michaelhilbe2991]

Awe, this girl is so cool. Thanks for the information, I’ll try to recreate you more natural version.

[@EleniKallimorou]

This recipe looked good, but then I went to the website and saw the formula. SLS has an active matter of 95%, so in this case, there is 36% active matter from the SLS alone! Hand washes shouldn't have more than 15% active matter in total. This is more than twice as strong as it should be. Is there anything I didn't understand in this recipe?

[@jackduplechain7592]

What luxury hand soap would you buy?
