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.

Elise could just recite the alphabet and I would be here... her voice is so calming

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.

You need to start an online school or teach classes...I would love to learn the ins and outs on how to make my own products.

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!

[tonyr]

I just used this video as a guide to make my own lotion for the first time ever. I didn't follow step by step because I wanted to expirement and tweak to what I wanted to do when I first thought of doing this. However, this was a great video for guidance! Knocked it out the very first time I tried it. Thank you! The measurements really helped the most for me!

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

[hllyisawesme]

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

[LouiseTurmenne]

Hi Elise (love your name - it makes me think of a flower.)
I just discovered your YouTube 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!

Your voice oh gosssh, tutorial so detailed 😍

[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.

[ncamsileginindza]

You are heaven sent my Dear. Your content is so great
