Good afternoon Summer, I really love your videos, you are very helpful. Do you know how to make a foaming hand soap ?

[@alivia3885]

been waiting for this 🙌

[@SummerRainDIY]

Awesome! I love making lotion, it seems really intimidating at first but it is super easy!!!

[@melissapeterson4202]

I've only made lotion a couple times and I'm getting ready to make one. But just the other day I was thinking about making and the thought crossed my mind about if they (water and oil) both had to be heated. So thanks for answering. LOL a few videos I've watched in the past couple days have read my mind! 😊

[@SummerRainDIY]

How exciting!! Yeah the heating of both phases is super important. I would suggest for your first batch, just make 9 ounces. You will learn a lot in the process and it’s a small enough batch that you can try another!

[@henrynyabuto4892]

Good tutorial!I have seen some recipes use cetyl alcohol as the co-emulsifier..I am wondering what would happen if the two phases are put in the same container,heated and then blended?

[@SummerRainDIY]

Thank you! Unfortunately that wouldn’t work. The two have to stay separate and then mixed once they are put in the same container with the immersion blender. I have worked with Cetyl alcohol and I like that it makes lotion feel silkier
