Hi! I made this cleanser and totaly loved it! I used the same ingredients as you, although I had one issue... after a couple of weeks (3-4) my gel separated, and when I pumped the bottle it just came out liquid but just on the bottom, cause when I opened the pump bottle the top was still a gel. After it happened I tried making it again and it separated again on the bottom after some weeks. Do you have any idea what could've happened? And maybe how to prevent whis? Thank u so much for all your wonderful formulations! Greetings from Chile

usually i mix xanthan gum with glycerin first then add to the mixture. its easier that way. no blob or uneven paste. 😊

Hi Marie,
I’m so grateful to find you, love your channel.
What is the shelf life of this cleanser?
Thanks ♥️

Do the Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI) and Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CG) remove makeup and excess oil, even for someone with oily and acne-prone skin?

[LeahHerbas]

Can I use aloe vera gel in place of the powder? I didn't find what I was looking for on the blog

[swarnimeme]

Please tell how much amount of product you made??

[bellacatta]

Where would one purchase the ingredients required to make this?

[anniezi.]

IS allantonin necessary for this recipe?

[arielmuhammad]

Can I replace Cocamidopropyl Betaine with Capryl glucoside to dilute Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate ?

[nurinaqlh]

Hi..is cocamidopropyl betaine safe? cuz most of the people in internet says no..so im not sure😅😅😅

[Sexytrinireds]

I like see I you make these little batches... I'm a big batch girl lol don't know how to make small batches of nada lol

[sensimania]

So we can add the aloe vera powder (x200 concentrate) straight into the heat phase mixture? I didn't know that! I thought we had to "make" the aloe vera juice first

[MyGreenNest]

I love your videos because you explain everything

[thazinha]

Made this and it is absolutely heavenly... I already made two batches - the first one came out a bit too gooey but it worked well, the second batch was perfection, used only 1/4 tsp xanthan gum and I'm already almost out of it. It cleanses my dry-ish, acne prone skin without dryness or irritation. Along with the citrus cleansing balm, the creamy clay cleansing balm and the black soap citrus balm this is the only stuff I use on my face... until Marie comes up with another cleanser haha.

[CRTRRTinGA]

Wonder if I could just replace the surfactants with some cream soap paste. Inquiring minds, ya know.

[annetteasbury]

I love your personality soooo much, but you do ramble a bit. 😜❤

[beerose]

Wow this looks incredible! I'd love to make my own cleanser as I've been using soap but get that tight desert dryness feeling afterwards... chemistry has never been my thing, where would you suggest learning more about the ingredients and techniques?

[spysquid]

Perhaps you should try utilizing a hot plate in the situations where you need to be over heat? I don't know if the steam is an issue.. I wish I had all the ingredients to make this, I would love to try it! I was about to ask if it was ok if it stayed together more than a night & it's funny that you ended up leaving it a week like I would probably end up doing lol

[sweetytyagi]

Sodium cocoyl isethionate is gud for dry skin

[soapyjan]
