You did such an excellent job. This was extremely helpful and very comprehensive just like you said. Thank you so much

i have a question do you heat everything at first

[@SpaceDanceOfficial]

You are the reason that me, as a male, started a homemade cosmetics "company" half a year ago. Thank you so much for all the inspiration! I'd never expect to start from a small tutorial on youtube to go on for a full on certification on cosmetics.

[@ginadiamond2959]

This lotion formula is flawless. I just made a batch today, following along with this tutorial and I am so well pleased with the outcome. I had to substitute agar agar for xantham gum and that worked well. I also primarily used aloe vera juice and rose water and for the emollients I used a jojoba body oil blend I had previously scented with an essential oil synergy of honeysuckle, lavender, eucalyptus and lemon. My lotion recipes have failed me until now. Bless you Whole Elise for publishing superb skin and hair care tutorials. Indeed my summer skincare crafting list just grew. Self care elevated.

[@Jimbooka]

Did you find how much oil/water to use? Thanks

[@Olivia-fl3bn]

SO happy you included lists for naturally-derived ingredients. I’m trying to make lotions that I can sell at my farmers market, and the only other natural recipes I’ve found so far require you to keep the lotion in the fridge. Very inconvenient to say the least! So glad your channel exists!! 😍 you’re a lifesaver!

Elise, your videos are scientifically smart, comprehensive, beautifully shot, and soothing to watch. SO many smart branding choices across all levels. Your knowledge and presence is incredible! Thrilled your videos came up in my algorithms. Thank you for sharing1

[@IndicaIndiaaa]

ELISE I LOVE YOUUUU. I watch your videos for educational purposes, but there are nights I’ll put on one of your videos just to help me fall asleep

[@eily_b]

My dad started to make our own lotions, cremes, shower gels, toner etc in the 80s. But it never looked so esthetically pleasing as in your videos. 💗 I remember him sitting in his little "lab" and mixing the cream cold so it could thicken. That lasted quite a long time like you are saying.

[@WholeElise]

Haha yeah the camera angles do add a touch of glam - but the results at home are just as good! 😅😊

[@LouiseTurmenne]

Hi Elise (love your name - it makes me think of a flower.) I just discovered your KZbin site and I'm very impressed. You share an amazing volume of facts that are valuable to all of us. I would be jealous of your knowledge, but then we all have that opportunity to learn; all we need to do is take advantage of it. So, I have subscribed to your channel and I'm definitely going to look up your website. Thank you so much for giving me, a 73 year old woman, the advantage of learning more. You are a gem!

[@ssg8335]

I cant believe I'm actually considering this. All these new fad of adding HA and niacinamide is rampant in the markets. They even discontinued products that were actually doing quite well so they could follow this trend.

[@TwistedLyfofTV]

HA is a very good humectant that can be used in place or Glycerin or honey. It's expensive but one teaspoon mixed with distilled water can last a long time when used in products but it can be used on its own. Very worth it if you mix your own over buying cosmetics

[@maryamabdi3138]

Wow! This is good thanks now I can make my own with 90% water since I'm from East Africa

[@nataliaroos1493]

I made this cream a few nights ago and I LOOOOVE it. The texture is great and feels light and smooth. One of the best lotions I have used and I love that I made it. Is it possible to switch out the Emulsifying wax to Ritamuse, Emulsifing NF, or BTMS 50? I only have a tiny bag of Olivem 1000 and I used a lot of it for this recipe.

Hello Elise, I would love to give this recipe a try but can't find it for the calculation option on your website. Thank you so much for all these beautiful and informative recipes, I'm a single mom trying to create a small business, so thank you. I'm very grateful.

[@heidicroucher]

I would love a "how to make your own formulation for dummies." Video. I've been doing this for a few months now and I ONLY follow recipes because I get to overwhelmed trying to figure out how to formulate my own recipe. Like with percentages and sizes. I know each ingredient comes with a recommended percentage rate... I just haven't quite figured out how to incorporate them into a STABLE, formulation. 😒

[@heidicroucher]

I have learned an IMMENSE amount since making this comment over a year ago..... but I think you didn't read what I wrote correctly. I was talking about how to make YOUR OWN formulation... how to formulate on your own. Not how to make HER product in this video. I knew she had step by step instructions on how to make everything she posts. When I made this comment, I was looking into how to make products without following someone else's formula on THEIR product... which I now know how to do. I can make my own products and include my own additives and adjust them to my preferred thickness, scent, feel, slip, etc.

[@jhowardsupporter]

@@heidicroucher I make this stuff for a living in sizes from 5kg to 500kg so I know we don't really experiment with certain things too much. I don't want to go into details because some of the ingredients can be harmful if used in too high a concentration. So I don't want to say you can adjust everything expect this this and this. Then if you are making a small batch for yourself it can be ok but if you add in 200kg of something it can be dangerous to inhale the fumes and so on.

[@SnapRolls]

Absolutely love all your videos, Elise! You're smart, gorgeous, knowledgeable and just so adorable too! Do you have any formula using only Lecithin liquid as an emulsifier instead of using Emulsifying wax? Or can I replace the Emulsifying Wax in your recipe with the lecithin?

[@MNB71285]

Elise my dear Please can we use isopropyl merystate in lip balms..and what is the right ration in butters and lotions???

[@fleurerebeille6109]

Bees wax is an emulsifier. As well as cetyl alcohol. Both emulsifiers with low HLB value, I believe around 5/6. The first cream ever created in history was made by using 1 part beeswax one part of olive oil and one part of water (rose if I am not mistaken) by Galleno. In formulations you surely can use beeswax as the emulsifier when making water in oil (aka w/o) emulsions. The one in the video is a oil in water emulsion (aka o/w) so the emulsifier has to have a higher HLB value. Just wanted to clarify the point. 😝

Yay I made it! But the preservative I have is Geogard ECT. Can I still use 3 grams of that? If so what is the shelf life?

[@y.e5847]

Elise, what if someone wants to use multiple essential oils in thier lotion ? What would be the percentage/drop of each oil or all oils in one. Of course this depends on how much lotion is made. Let’s say everything combined is 500ml excepts essential oils. How much essential oils should a person put? Base it on three oils . Thanks
