Making Magnesium De-stress/sleep Cream

[@lamedvav]

Epsom salts is a salt. It IS a salt chemically. It is two ions not covalently bonded so it is a salt. The positive ion is the magnesium and the negative ion is the SO4 sulfate ion.

[@Chattycrafter2580]

The goats are so cute, they look so angelic when sleeping. The lotion looks luxurious, with all the wonderful oils you add I can imagine it’s benefits to be very therapeutic.

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Thanks Paula, I really do enjoy this one

[@Greenfairy65]

Patrick, my new and quickly dear KZbin soaper friend, you are such a good teacher and mentor and naturalist. I really am greatful for your presence and knowledge. There is so much I’d love to learn from you. BTW, that is the sweetest picture of the goats all snuggled up! Hugs from Ontario.

[@Greenfairy65]

Just wanted to let you know that my second batch of soap turned out rather awesomely. I don’t as of yet have the herbal colourant and healing properties knowledge yet so I went with micas and TD. It’s swirls purple white and a wonderful green and a 5 lb batch at that! I went for lemon grass, 5X orange oil, lavender, peppermint and bergamot essential oil blend I concocted on the spot for the scent. It’s heavenly. I hope the potency stays, any tips on that? Kaolin clay addition perhaps? You sound wonderful and cheery in this video, btw. It warms my heart. Ttys.

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Patrick, how wonderful, that sounds fantastic, and micas are a great product and perfectly safe to use, so no worries. That sounds like a great EO blend, as for keeping the scent, hot process soaps are much friendlier to EO than cold process since add after saponification. In cold process a few tips, yes clay is a good anchor for scents, also a small water discount can help, since there is less evaporation during the cure. Some EO are better at sticking around, Lemongrass is great, but lemon is not one with staying power, it's a matter of testing and seeing what works best.

Amazing job, my friend! I've found that my own products are so much nicer to my 52 year old skin. I know your skin loving products must be AMAZING!

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

You said it Eric, I much prefer making my own lotions too

[@PixieSuds]

Hi Patrick! Thank you for sharing that cute picture of your goats. How precious!!! Love the Dream Cream. Keep inspiring.

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Thanks so much, big hugs to you Pixie and the rest of your goats :)

[@MissBodaciousBuster]

So far this is my favorite video on making magnesium oil And lotion and I'm not even finished 😂 Well done. *subscribed*

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Thank you so much I really appreciate your kind words.

[@MissBodaciousBuster]

@SoapyOaksFarm thank You for being so kind to share this lovely recipe with us! Not many companies put their recipe they sell up for others to make themselves. Ty for remembering us that 1. Love to make our own 2. This is MUCH less expensive than buying even cheap lotion nowadays & I'm on SSDI. I DID look up the possible dangers bc my one cat loves to lick oil and she's particularly attracted to this one. Bc these are very high levels of magnesium, I checked and YES, mag. Oil is very dangerous to a cat, probably small dogs as well. So I'm just putting it on at night in places she cant lick like my legs. Lol ty again!

[@soapsforlove4168]

You are such an amazing giver of great information. What a blessing that you have learned all these things and are willing to share them. Thank you for that. That bowl you used in the video is SO cool. I'm glad you found a use for those bottles.

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Renee, thanks so much, that is a soup bowl, I found it when cleaning out my shed, I really like it too. Big hugs

[@SoyandShea]

This sounds so wonderful. I could imagine how soothing this must feel on tired aching muscles. I love the sleeping goat

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Thanks so much Keeley, have a great day

[@AllGrowing]

Is the recipe somewhere, and what preservative do you use? Thanks

[@ThermalMermaid]

Just swinging through to remind you that you are loved by us over in CT........

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Howdy, that is very kind, all my best to you

[@terrie3]

This is great stuff Patrick. I make a spray and lotion I use just about daily! Perfect for relaxing aching, tired or tense muscles :)

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Thanks Terri, it is wonderful stuff

[@bibi9699]

Do u have a recipe for this magnesium cream or salve?

[@tanyabonnett4174]

Love this video Could you put amounts of oils or isn't that important as I wish to make this one

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Hi Tanya, the basics of this one is about 75% water, 20% oils, 5% emulsifier, 5% you can use any lotion recipe or calculator like this one at lotioncrafter lotioncrafter.com/pages/calculators , thanks so much

[@teecee3143]

Hey Tanya, if you use the % as grams it will be easier for you to follow, for example 75grams water, 20grams oil, 5gr emulsifier, that should add to 100grams of product - you don't need a preservative because the magnesium will prevent any bacteria from raising its ugly head 😁and you are good to go- I wouldn't bother going to the lotion crafter site- it's for those who formulate full time and I'd rather keep it simple

[@tanyabonnett7787]

Thankyou Patrick and @teecee3143 for the water to oils to emulsifier break down much appreciated Xx

[@esmacrafts3702]

I want to make this right away.. A good substitute for my night cream. I have a few questions if you don't mind 1. Can I substitute the oils or is it a must I use what you have listed? In my pantry i'm missing Pumpkin seed oil, Hemp seed oil, Argan oil, Black seed cumin oil . In my pantry I have : Macadamia oil, Avocado Oil, Sunflower oil (Plain, infused with herbs and another batch infused with coffee) 2. Can I add butters on this? 3. Also missed , The water phase part, you used the magnesium right? Or did you use distilled water? 4. Did you heat up the water and oils or you mixed while cold? Thank you.

[@normaa9860]

Awesome lotion, the goats are so adorable. 😀💜

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

[@patmullen4017]

Hi Patrick I love watching your videos and learned so much from u thank u after watching your video on making magnesium oil I make it but of cause haven’t had the time to get back to it which was about two weeks ago. With all the water and no preservative should I toss it or would it still be good ? Hoping u can help Thank u

[@AromaDelightBeautyCareProducts]

Wonderful video!

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Thanks Debra

[@janetm2969]

Looks Beautiful, Patrick! Does it firm up more after 24 hrs, like a lot of creams do - just when you don't want them to!? 😅

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Thanks so much for your message, no, this formulation actually stays pretty fluid. I actually sell it in pump bottles now for that very reason.

[@jeanhills2074]

Goo day. another winner. enjoy the simplicity of ur process. pls post quantities. thanks.

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Hi Jean, the basics of this one is about 75% water, 20% oils, 5% emulsifier, 5% you can use any lotion recipe or calculator like this one at lotioncrafter lotioncrafter.com/pages/calculators , thanks so much

[@cabinfeversoap1]

Excellent video and such skin-loving ingredients!

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Thanks so much Patti, all my best

[@whitedovecubbie5]

Recipe?

[@kathsmith5064]

Wow that is a power packed tube of loveliness. Is it made for any specific purpose or just general moisturisation? Love your wonderful calm holistic approach. Never heard of pumpkin oil, is that something you also make? Can you do a video on using mallow, root and flower, sometime please?

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Kath, magnesium has several benefits when applied to the skin, it's one of those few minerals we can absorb transdermally and has shown promise in several areas. I list a few articles in the description as well. As for the pumpkin seed oil, it s full of antioxidants and beneficial fatty acids that help the appearance of skin, I don't make it, I purchase it. As for Mallow, are you referring to marshmallow? if so I have used in shampoo bars, can certainly discuss in upcoming video.

[@kathsmith5064]

Hi Patrick. Yes I was on about the marshmallow plant. I have read that it is good for the skin. I do not make soap or anything but the craft fascinates me.

[@irenem4578]

What a great product!!!! Won't it separate? I have 44lbs of Epsom salts at home, not magnesium chloride. And no idea what to do with it. Since you have 55 gallons plus 8lbs of it maybe you have an idea for a recipe and another great video?😊

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Irene, the wax is the emulsifier, so no issues with separation. I don't actually have 55 gallons of it, just that I store it, and other dry ingredients in there, so it's hard to get on camera and no label, so I purchased the bag for the video. I love Epson salts and yes will try and put something together, thanks so much

[@chellemotsinger1200]

I love it

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Thanks so much

[@lifeiseverything9]

Thanks 👍 beautiful sleepy goats 🐐

[@chellemotsinger1200]

Hi patrrick

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Hi Michelle

[@ginnybullock9627]

great video. Very informative. Take care

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

Thanks Ginny, have a great day

[@critter9857]

beeswax is not a gokd emulsifyer.the water will separate

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

You are correct That's why I was not using it as an emulsifier so much as a solidifier. Thanks so much

[@Mumsy_Soap]

Thanks for sharing. 9:14 looks like a wrestling match

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

ha, it kind of does, I am still perfecting filling those tubes :) Thanks so much, have a fantastic weekend

[@DawnEdwards6267]

You give NO measurements.
