Glad I found you.I have purslane growing in my raised garden bed(didn't plant it, it just appeared), and I really wanted to do something with it as it's supposed to have amazing skincare properties. Great, informative video, thank you (I'll report back if all my wrinkles vanish 😊) ✌️❣️🇬🇧

That's great! I'm a beekeeper in Western Australia and I'm planning to do my own propolis extract. Propolis is resinous and quite sticky, I'm guessing I'll need a higher temperature to extract the goodies in it. You are so sweet! 😊

I'm learning a lot from you. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Propylene glycol or Zemea can be used as well, if a less sticky feel is desired.

Hey how you doing? First off, thanks a lot for your great work. You are probably helping out a lot of people with this. I have a question for you? Will the extract retain its nutritional value and properties as the original herb in its raw form? Or if not, Is it possible to make an extract of a substance with the same nutritional value as it original form?

You are very good at explaining this! I'm going to try today. I have two questions after watching: Can you explain dried vs fresh flowers for this and oil infusion vs glycerin for flowers when used on face?

[danieliskander]

Hello.. Made it look so easy. Thank you for a wonderful presentation.

Hello, i want to know how to make vegetable and fruits extracts like carrots? The same for coffee, cocoa, and charcoal. Do we follow the same method?

[harshat]

Hai
thanks for the video.does this extract has both hydrophobic and hydrophilic components of Arnica. Please clarify this point

[dianamiw]

Is the glycerin extract can be used directly or included in the formula? And how much the suggested use levels?

[indoorapartmentgardener]

I've made Hibiscus, Green Tea, Carrot, Rose Petal, Licorice Root and Calendula extract aka glycerites. I use them in my formulas. 😊

[sgiles]

How can I make sweet corn extract? Please. 😊 I heard that corn silk is a good choice maybe. How about a slow cooker on warm?

[mssburr]

I would like to purchase the glass measuring cup you are using on the hotplate,
and a good candy thermometer.

Can you please post a link?

Great video, Thanks for sharing!

do you have a video with doing this with fruit and vegetables or would you dry the fruit & vegetable first and then extract

[sophievautour]

How do you dehydrate your extract into a powder...? Is it possible to do it at home? I imagine that if alcohol is used it would evaporate fast and leave a sediment behind...? Thank you for the informative video!
