Which ingredient surprised you the most? I couldn't believe 2 & 8 performed as well as they did!

[@maazysaeed3937]

Hiii can we use red ochre or tumeric or other herbs for makeup formulation like foundation or lipstick? I love all your videos !! ♥️♥️

[@KarinaMD.11]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your time invested in the experiment and for sharing it in the video! Very informative! In my country, Guatemala, in artisanal folkloric products, we use various native and Creole plants to make dyes. They are boiled in water for 3 hours, seeds, leaves, stems and flowers together the hole plant. Apart, the trunk of the banana plant boiled in water is also used as a chelator. This fixes the colors and prevents them from staining. And you can put natural color in any product you want with these plants. Now I am trying with soap and your lotion recipe. I'm sorry I can't give you amounts, but here it's done "eyeball". Plants native to my country or Mesoamerica: Chilca: (Baccharis latifolia): green Chipilin; (Crotalaria longirostrata, delicious in soups, relaxes nervous system and helps to sleep when insomniac): yellow Indigo: harvested on a full moon gives dark colors, harvested on other moons gives light colors Árbol de Campleche or apparently named also as Logwood tree: dark purple Achiote (Annatto): terracotta. Other plants: Rosemary: green Basil: purple or lilac Cochineal cultivated in nopal (Mexico): it gives red when mixed with water, corinto when mixed with lemon, it is stronger and brighter; mixed with vinegar gives another color. Modified: I just discovered Carmine comes from this insect, the cochineal, that grows in nopal in México. Beetroot: lilac Carbon: black Cinnamon or coffee: coffee Carrot: orange Hibiscus: pink Coconut shell fiber: beige or cream I hope this brings ideas to your active and investigative mind ;) Greetings!! And welcome to Guatemala whenever you want!

You can also use rhubarb root, (not the leaves because they are toxic, just the root) for a beautiful rosewood color and mixed with titanium dioxide, even more.

[@shayelea]

Alkanet root works AMAZINGLY well as an oil infusion! It happens so fast, too. Infuse your oil with alkanet root (not powder) for a day or so and then create your product with the colored oil. ❤

[@bringthemesstv]

Yes, I use the Hibiscus leaf in my water for the the lotion.

[@darcygray5556]

Thank you sharing all of your wonderful knowledge… it’s inspiring and I and going to dipping my toes into the formulation world ☺️ oh and by the way… your hair looks FABULOUS!!

[@edubbs617]

fun video marie!

[@mokshalani8414]

This was so helpful! I was deliberating hard on purchasing Euxyl k 903 over a more reliable preservative, but I'm a very new beginner & I want to prioritize fool-proof non-fussy ingredients, even over natural ones; this was most informative! On the subject of chelating agents, I asked another very experienced formulator if I could incorporate an ingredient with a high electrolyte load (pearl powder, but it got me thinking about aloe vera & sodium lactate too) with an emulsion held by a cationic emulsifier (BTMS-50). She said that a chelating agent might be able to save the emulsion but she wasn't sure. I've been on the lookout for a deep dive ever since!

[@Soylarimar]

I love this experiment. I’m waiting for glacial clay since it’s actually forest green and according to others that have experimented with it IT STAYS in soap too!

[@t.s.mbypepi5891]

Ευχαριστούμε πολύ. Τα μαλλιά σου πανέμορφα. Με γεια σου. Φιλιά απο Ελλάδα.

[@SaturdaySoul]

I can't say how much I appreciate having spent more time on your channel. I have your book as well. You explain WHY you do things and WHY you choose ingredients. I need to know the science behind things and why whatever is chosen. Sooooooo helpful!!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

❤️ Thank you so much!

[@ameliatejeda]

Omg your hair is so pretty in this vid!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thank you so much! 😄

[@TRKJSR]

Hey your hair looks good, whatever you used to style it looks really full !

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thank you so much 😄 Of course I don't remember what I did on this particular day LOL.

[@Hilary_ClarbySoaps]

Very interesting experiment. I need to research chelators now 😁 thank you 🙏🏻

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

❤️ Thanks for watching!

[@baritunde]

I bought some blue algae & have a feeling it's going to turn gray. I'll probably end up drinking it in my smoothies. I put the sea buckthorn oil on my face and look like an Oompa Loompa, but my natural skincolor is kinda orange brown, so it's not as crazy as it could be. I love using turmeric on my skin but it discolors my white mani-pedi. Thanks so much for the fun & informative video. I love your work so much & find it to be so helpful, time & money saving.

[@bringthemesstv]

I was making your lotion I tweaked a bit but I use Hibiscus leaf to color the water part. I also like using cacao powder for my chocolate/vanilla butter with bacurii butter. It's seems to be helping my stretchmarks🥰. I going to do more research for a chelator as research shows this one is 2b carcinogenic and a hormone disruptor.

[@lisaporria7307]

Loving your make-up book.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

❤️ thank you so much!

[@stefy3066]

I was researching too, most of natural pigment are not stable o changed color because are water soluble , it worked better with the one that are Liposoluble , it also depends with the pH 😉

[@hummingbirdess8763]

Your just amazing! I;m moving to italy soon from the states and as soon as I get there I will be signing up for your Patreon. I just don’t have time right now with packing & craziness going on! ( 2 cats are coming with us) 😳

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Awesome! Thank you ❤️ Best of luck with the move!

[@jenniferblick6216]

I love your videos! Thank you for passing on the knowledge you have, to us 💕. I am getting ready to order your book..just wondering if the recipes are all with natural ingredients (before I order)? Thank you!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

❤️ thank you so much! The projects in the book are natural, or easily modified to be so. You can review the list of ingredients used here: www.humblebeeandme.com/stuff-youll-need-book/. It's mostly minerals, oils, waxes, and ingredients to boost slip and adhesion made from minerals and natural fatty acids :) Happy making!

[@jenniferblick6216]

@@HumblebeeAndMe thanks so much! 💖

انامصريه ولااجيد اللغات ممكن المكونات بالعربيه

[@CC-yq9kv]

Thank you for another great video! Always learning so much from you ❤ I have colored body wash with mica in the past but over time, mica falls into the bottom the body wash bottle. How do you add color to body wash, shampoo? Thank you ❤

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks for watching! You'll want to use a water soluble dye (or blend of dyes) for products like that. You can see that in action with this formulation: www.humblebeeandme.com/rich-foaming-hand-wash/. Happy making!

[@CC-yq9kv]

@@HumblebeeAndMe Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@nouranmohamed3823]

Thank you you are the best really ♥️♥️ My question is why would we color our lotion?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Why do we colour candies? Or clothes? Or shoes? Or cars? 😉 For fun!

[@victoriasumchanka]

I love every aspect of your videos! I also love spatulas you are using. They are not very long a heavy (I'm talking about the once I saw in other videos). Where do you buy them? I'm asking because I ordered from Amazon spatulas that look like yours, but they are long and kind of heavy, so they'd flip 100ml biker. Please, help🙏

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

[@marciamarcia7449]

wow for the chelator. Thank you.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Right?!‽

[@frejahummelmose1712]

This is probably not in the spirit of the video, but what do people normally use to colour say body butters? Food dye or something else?

[@keyamoore8031]

Where do buy the product that help the preservative last longer and how do you Spell it?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate; you can buy it at Essential Wholesale and save 5% with code HUMBLEBEE&ME (not an affiliate code, just a discount). Happy making!

[@samihage1223]

Does your book make it up include solid shampoo and 2in1 bars recipes?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

My book does not contain any haircare formulations :) I shared a bit of a 'tour' of "Make it Up: The Essential Guide to DIY Makeup and Skin Care" here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJvXiK2warBja9U. Thanks for your interest & happy making!

[@sarahmahamid3031]

will you please try duping BLISTEX lip balm?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I'll keep it in mind-thanks for the suggestion!

[@y.s.3687]

I love this type of videos❤ I feel like I am a hogwarts Student when watching.. so much Magic happening 😊 Thank you so much!

[@charmwitchcraft816]
