There's a kit for this formulation! YellowBee has bundled the ingredients you'll need to make 1.2kg (42.33 oz!) of the basic lotion for just $35.18CAD (~$26USD) here: yellowbee.ca/collections/product-starter-kit/products/starter-kit-easy-non-greasy-hand-lotion 🎉 (Not sponsored, not affiliate.)
This video was perfect for me because just 3 days ago I did something very similar and it's awesome to see you doing the same thing. Gives me confidence in my ability to formulate DIY products. I use 2% e-wax and 2% cetyl alcohol along with 8% MCT oil and 0.5% menthol crystals. It's absolutely the perfect consistency for a light and easily absorbed aftershave balm.
@@HumblebeeAndMe Hi Marie, really enjoying your newer content, it's more focused. Can this same formula use Magnesium oil ( mag flakes & distilled water) as the water phase without changing the viscosity? I have been experimenting with a light lotion with Magnesium oil but still getting mild separation, still good, but really want to nail consistency. TIA. X
Actually i have noticed many brands use CARBOMER in moisturizers and body lotions, carbomer is the gelling agent in Hand Sanitizers. Try this, you have a thick body butter, add your hand sanizer, mix it and you'll create a spreadable non sticky lotion (this is just to feel the texture not to actually use). That's exactly how brands make a quick absorbing lightweight body lotion. Check ingredients list next time in your lotions and you'll see CARBOMER for sure❤️
Yes, gelling ingredients like carbomer are definitely very popular! They're a great way to boost viscosity without increasing richness and can contribute to an absolutely delightful skin feel (swoon!). Other similar ingredients include Polyacrylate crosspolymer-6, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, and Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate. They're effective at really low levels and can do some stunning things 😍 They can also be a bit of a pain to work with (some require neutralization with a strong base like NaOH or triethanolamine, others don't perform well with electrolytes, etc.), so I thought they weren't a great thing to include in a beginner-friendly formulation like this one. But I have used them in other formulations! Polyacrylate crosspolymer-6 (Sepimax ZEN) is what makes this formulation (www.humblebeeandme.com/ultra-light-summer-face-cream/) thick and creamy without being heavy 😄
@@HumblebeeAndMe aren't carbomer and the alternatives you list considered microplastics, which are harmful to our oceans? I use the beat the microbead app when buying cosmetics in stores. I started making my own DIY lotions so that I can create beautiful products that are just as good as the ones you can buy from big brands, but microplastic free 🐟
That's an ingredient I yearn to learn more about, how to make a face cream with it! I bought one of my favoutite ever face creams from Colour Pop a few years ago called Good Mood that had carbomer and watermelon oil😍😍😍loved it so much.
Its so great that you have free videos and recipes, I am not interested in selling but in doing my own products so i can control what I put on my body and besides its a great entertainment for me, saves me money and I dont have to depend on stores, just in case, that is why I am learning from body products to home cleaning. Thank you very much for your recipes.
Wonderful Marie! I'm about to make another batch of body lotion and I'll tweak my formula to try this. You've saved me a bunch of experimenting. Love your videos, thank you.
Hello Marie from sunny Hamilton , Ontario. You ae so full of energy and enthusiasm I hope it rubs of on me. You have introduced so many women I know, incl. myself confidence in creating useable beautfy products fo a fraction of the cos. But more importantly you inject confidence in me ( i had multiple strokes a few yrs back and homebound) so you bring sunshine into my life with you lovely videos and formulas that mork perectly. I have maade serums, starting from 1-3 ingr. to 1-8 ingre. made body cream, and a slew of other formulas. thank you very much for your concentrated efforts in producing one great video after another. You are part of my routine everyday . thank you and may you always smile and bring sunshine and joy to every home. Happy Autumn 2023 to you an all your followers. Love you.
Hey Marie! Wonderful content as usual! As so many people are asking you about what book you showed in the video, it makes me wonder if you can post a blogpost/video on all your favourite books on skincare/haircare? That would be cool!
I'll keep it in mind! In the meantime, I've shared my favourite research resources here: www.humblebeeandme.com/how-to-research-your-ingredients-part-2. The book in this video is featured :)
Thank you so much, Marie. This video came at the right time - so, I used it as motivation. Based on this, I made an absolutely fabulous handlotuon - just exactly what and how I had it in mind. Thank you for all you do
Made this for the first time today. I was so excited only to find the final product came out with a weird white soapy film. Reminds me of sunscreen. Back to try again.
Hi Marie, Thank you so much for the easy walk-through. I did countless of your DIYs. I have some ingredients from Windypiont. However, I like the idea of the kits and will order from Yellowbee soon. Are any life classes coming up?
Hi! I've made videos on all three to help you learn more: Cetyl: czcams.com/video/QDH7ar5UlvA/video.html Cetearyl: czcams.com/video/-OM28_8WVrE/video.html Stearic: czcams.com/video/7QlC_c35t54/video.html You can also look them up in the free Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia for a faster written reference: www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/waxes-other-thickeners/ And, if you just want something really brief: Cetyl: Silky Stearic: Creamy Cetearyl: Sort of a blend of the two-creamier that cetyl, silkier than stearic. Happy making!
@@HumblebeeAndMe You are just the best, Marie! I want to be part of your Patreon just to give back to you for so much help you provide to our community. Thank you very much! I have a request if you will... could you dupe the CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion? I have tried to formulate a face lotion with ceramides and Niacinamide and it irritated my skin :( I have Rosacea and super sensitive skin and that lotion works great for me, but I would like to be able to make my own :) Best regards!
Wonderful Marie ❣️! M new here. M getting married in next month. Can u tell me for whitening . That can I mix vitamin c, alpha arbutin, nicinamde, Kojic acid, glutathione, orange pee,l Neem, rose petals powders in shea butter ??? For night whitening lotion
No, lotions are much more thermally stable than body butters! Check out this video: czcams.com/video/M4PDskyzXgk/video.html. At the start I show how one melts and the other doesn't 😄
Hi,when you have used your immersion blender in excess and have the rather thick and unhappy consistency,I was wondering if there is an trick to make it right or correct this. I made a lotion found out just why it came out that way,thanks to you now I know how to make it better on my next try.
Whoops! 🙈 It's there now :) And you can always find the written versions of my formulations (with links to buy all the ingredients, too) in the free partner blog post ❤️
I am having trouble getting the ingredient info to print. I downloaded a pdf app, and it didn't work, then it sent me to another to download, and I am afraid of downloads, they mess up my computer sometimes. ;./
Hi Marie, am loving your videos!!!! Can you add an additive eg cucumber extract, to a lotion and if so at what rate? Which phase and would I just reduce the water?
You *can*, but I wouldn't make it the entire oil phase. I'd probably keep it to ~3%, reducing the Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT/Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride) to make room for it as I find high butter concentrations can make for lotions that feel kinda skiddy when you apply them. That's just what I'd do, though :) Try it and see what you think!
I've used it lots, it's great :) You can find a linked list of well over 20 formulations I've used it in here: www.humblebeeandme.com/project/stearic-acid/.
Hi Marie! I've been looking for a light weight formulation for my magnesium lotion and I'm thinking this would work. Because I'm using magnesium oil mixture, does this change my liquid amounts?
Hi! I'm writing out a detailed answer to your question for this week's newsletter :) You can sign up here (www.humblebeeandme.com/sign-humblebee-emails/) if you haven't already. I'll try to remember to paste the answer here as well when I'm done.
You can, but this is a very simple formulation that doesn't have any of the sorts of skincare actives I'd usually include in a formulation developed for the face :)
@@HumblebeeAndMe I tried! Obviously it obviously absorbs slower than 8% but it is light. Especially good quality mineral oil. On the other hand if you take greasy oils, even with a small oil phase it will not be light.
@@HumblebeeAndMe Okay! I love the simplicity of it. I’ve always loved making lotions. The Magic’s of how it comes together. 😀 But this is so simple. Can’t wait to try and I was just looking at the other bottles you used. Thanks!
Sincebive learned to blend less from Marie my lotions and creams are gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️ this tip was an absolute game changer for me....... Thanks Marie 💖

Very well explained , i have learned alot from your videos ❤

Thanks for watching!
Hi the video mentions 236 g water but the notes in the description box say 263 g. Just want to confirm which is the correct amount thanks!
what is the optimal temp for mixing the oils and water together? does it matter if it's oil to water , vs water to oil? Thanks!
You are amazing!! I can't thankyou enough! 😍
You're so welcome! ❤️
I'm intrigued and will surely try ❤
So cute for adding in cheng wang😂
Nice! I couldn't help but notice the Nanton Water and wondered if that is where you are. I lived there for years and loved it.
Hi Marie .Could this lotion be used as face cream moisturisers. Thank you x
This might be a dumb question but will this lotion melt in the sun like some body butters?
No, lotions are much more thermally stable than body butters! Check out this video: czcams.com/video/M4PDskyzXgk/video.html. At the start I show how one melts and the other doesn't 😄
still waiting for the long lasting lipstick video release

Is Sodium Behenoyl lactylate different from sodium lactate?
I am having trouble getting the ingredient info to print. I downloaded a pdf app, and it didn't work, then it sent me to another to download, and I am afraid of downloads, they mess up my computer sometimes. ;./
This is off topic but can you formulate something similar to peripera ink tattoo? It is my favourite but is discontinued.
Can I use an infused water like rose petal water infusion for the water portion, or even magnesium oil.
Hello Marie, another great video :)

Can you do a dup for Bath and Body Ultimate hydration cream??
What brand of medium chain oil did you use. It looked like you used a pellet form
I hope you can make us a skin and face lightening lotion
I've been looking for Liquid Germall + from Belgium, but seems not available from Europe. Any idea why?
Hi Marie, am loving your videos!!!! Can you add an additive eg cucumber extract, to a lotion and if so at what rate? Which phase and would I just reduce the water?
Or aloe vera? Or calendula extract!
Yes you can! Check with your supplier for usage rates; they'll go in the cool down phase & you'll reduce water to make room for them :) Happy making!
What about an oil based extract? Still in the cool down phase and just subtract from one of your oils?
Can I use a melted butter for my oil phase?
You *can*, but I wouldn't make it the entire oil phase. I'd probably keep it to ~3%, reducing the Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT/Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride) to make room for it as I find high butter concentrations can make for lotions that feel kinda skiddy when you apply them.
That's just what I'd do, though :) Try it and see what you think!

It is the wrong trick. The actual trick for the companies mentioned - is using light emollients like CCT, mineral oil and carbonates
I encourage you to try a 25% oil phase with CCT and see if it's just as light.
@@HumblebeeAndMe I tried! Obviously it obviously absorbs slower than 8% but it is light. Especially good quality mineral oil.
On the other hand if you take greasy oils, even with a small oil phase it will not be light.
Thanks for sharing this. I’ll have to resist blender more. And waiting two or three days to use it. 🧴
