I've purchased from this company before, and they sell quality ingredients. Making your own stuff can be fun. But it's also expensive.

Personally... I like the older version better...
maybe because it took the time to SHOW more
and also it had the different ways to measure out
the formula...
But both are great...
Thank YOU for sharing this.

[Makingcosmetics]

Yes, Germall Plus or Optiphen work as well.

[darkostepanic]

I love your videos, there's so much to learn. I was wondering can you make some video with simple ingredients that are not so hard to find and explain what these ingredients do. I mean can you make simple cream with just one emulsifier (the one that is less evil)?

[mariehuana]

Thank you for your do you heat Tocopherol in the phase A? Tocopherol comes in the cool down Phase, doesn`t? I miss some actives in the

[Makingcosmetics]

Yes, you can heat vitamin E to 70oC but only for a short time. At it as the last ingredient of phase A.

Wow, that's a lot of ingredients that I don't have, boo 😖 Sure is a beautiful cream!!

[Krissie]

I love your work!! Very facinating and informative. I have an odd request, but I'm sure you have other viewers that would love my idea. Do you think you could make a lotion comparable to the Johnson and Johnson creamy baby lotion with aloe and vitamin E. It is very hard to find online. And is an incredible insect repellent without the chemical smell. It greatly sought after. And you would be doing the world a huge favor. Especially us flood victims dealing with mass amounts of insects and mosquitos. Or possibly make your own that you think would work as well. I would be willing to be your tester!! Thank you for your time if you're reading this. 😀

Which of those ingredients are helping with skin absorption, I am having issues with that topic, I would like to decrease the oily texture.

[خلودالغامدي-جك]

Hello In the event that I wanted to put (collagen powder or bleaching powder) on face beautification creams - at what stage can I add the powder? Is it when the cream is completely finished? Or boil it with distilled water? Or do I put it with melted wax or at any point exactly I want the powder to blend comfortably and perfectly with the cream mixture

[amesavis]

hmmm. is this nonacnegenic? how do you heat it? do the jars have to be sterilized? why don't you make enough to properly fill the jar? pastry bag? hmmm. looks like frosting

[Makingcosmetics]

No, a magnetic stirrer is too weak. Should be a handmixer
