  1. I absolutely love your channel! Just started to make my own lotions using your recipes. But there is one lotion video is like to see and that is an antibacterial acne lotion. If you could make that, that would be amazing!! 😊😉😁

  2. How long does this lotion last at room temperature?
    because i shave every 2 or 3 weeks.
    Thank you

  3. Sorry, I can’t find the answer anywhere… when thickening products with xanthan gum, can I substitute it with cornstarch? I made an experiment just thickening water and found it actually much much easier with cornstarch (xanthan gum was clumping a lot) and the consistency seemed very similar, only slightly different! Also cornstarch is much cheaper, so I was wondering if I can just use that or are there any contraindications? If this has been already answered somewhere please can someone send me a link 🙂

  4. Do you have a simple recipe for a pre-shave cream? Something similar to Proraso, Prep, or Vito's pre shave creams? Or maybe a link to a calculator for formulating creams?

  5. You are not just a sweet face only. I made the lotion and it's amazing. Believe me you should be the next boss of NAVIA company.

  6. Oh sorry I forgot to ask how long it would stay fresh for? I mean expiration date.

  7. Seriously I have learned so much from you! I have a massive beard so I was on a journey to make some awesome beard balms and beard oils. Which I think I have mastered, but now I’m on a quest to make a beard cream. I haven’t perfected that, I use btms50 and stearyl and Cetyl alcohol along with some butters oils and beeswax. Haven’t nailed the texture I’m looking for. Going through your videos though I’ve learned what the different ingredients do and always learning about new ingredients to try. I appreciate your videos, your time, and you sharing all of this with us. Thank you!

  8. Marie, there is no such product as "cetearyl alohol" that i can buy anywhere that looks like what you are using. I found cetearyl alcohol in powder form and I found it blended with polysorbate. I am confused.

  9. It looks goog, but what exactly keeps the oils and the water fraction together here? What is the emulsifier??

  10. You had to add 7 more grams of water. So should that be corrected from the ingredient list. So the water should be 23.9 grams of water instead of 16.9 grams of water?
