Various Projects I want to do.

[Peachy Clean Soap]

Ive been wanting to make skin care products for a good long time' so finally ive enrolled in a free basic course, It's basic as can be but its the perfect place to start' gotta have that solid foundation. so much to learn' & an entirely different rules & guidlines according to State laws' cross my Dot my I's & cross my T, if I even want to enterian the thought of selling a product without Ca. proof of certification Standard & Passed. If this Certification is costly then i'll half to use for personal use & family only.

I'd like to make a Lotion ( found a recipe ) & ( Body Butter Bar - not greasy ) Then work on a ( Body Cologne Spray - Ive designed one but I really need to tweak it ) ( Foot Loofah Scrub ) done. all by the 19th so I can delivery gifted items to my Daughter' I'll be there for Grandson's college graduation celebration. & "Oh our June challenge" that too. I need my Supplies Delivered asap.

Update
I made my 1st body lotion today! I want to give a shoutout to @KimW for her recipe & instructions, It turned out really nice' It's not greasy adsorbs nicely' it just feels wonderful. Ive washed my face w/ water then applied lotion & it felt so nice & moisturizing' i'm really happy w/ it. I've made a few mistakes' when I add'ed my water phase' I placed the bowel in the ice bath' oops the fats started setting up fast' I quickly removed it & kept SB to get it smooth' I was afraid it wouldent' but it came together & smoothed out.
My Jewelry scale needed charging, once it was charged I was able to finish up w/ my few ingredients EO & an additional Preservative & add'ed them @ the cool down phase.

I chose to switch up a few fats & oils as suggested. I guessed on the amounts not really knowing if the small changes would work' but all & all it turned out really nice.

I'd like to make another batch tomorrow if I have time & labels too. I hope my Daughter loves her lotion I'm excited to give it to her.

I think you'll have so much fun! I've been looking at all the recipes on Aroma-Zone.com; it's all in French but they have about a million recipes, all for free, I've been having a great time exploring them all, as well as a few kind friends who gave me a hand out with getting started

Oooo have fun Peachy! Always fun to learn new things

On my "various projects" list:

1. Make under-eye dark circle cream using those tiny bottles of special ingredients that cost a small fortune which are still sitting in my fridge.

2. Play with my new squalane in some of my formulas. It feels lovely on my face by itself.

Make under-eye dark circle cream

Where do I sign up for clinical trials?

My various projects list is so out of whack right now I'm not even sure where the list is... and I'm sure I've forgotten half of what I meant to do.

 

[AliOop]

The recipe is here on MakingCosmetics. It had better work because those little potion bottles were $$$$$.

 

[Tara_H]

The ones I want to try next are deodorant, insect repellant, and balm for bites... Come to think of it, summer must be approaching!

I did some research to find out what substitutions could be made, such as MCT oil (which I already have) instead of buying their bottle of triglycerides (same stuff). The GelMaker EMU includes PS80, so I can just use PS80 and accept that my product won't be as "cushion-y" as their recipe. Don't really care about cushion-y -- I just want these dark circles to fade so I don't look like I've stayed out all night, lol.

I already had sorbitol, rose hip oil, and lavender EO on hand. So I only had to buy the preservative and the two active ingredients (but threw in a few other things for other recipes to make the most of the shipping cost.)

One tiny pot of dark circle cream is $70+ at the make-up counter, and now I have more than enough ingredients to make many pots of such creams. Here's hoping I like it and want to make more!

What are the two items ingredients? Also dark circles can be " mascara stain " easiest fix, the not so easy fix' regaining the plumpness under the eye are ( I googled it')
"ultra hydrating ingreadents" like hyaluronic acid' squalene' avocado. so some products to consider for your formula? ( all else fails - fillers they work wonders, though not a forever fix ) I need lots of that youth plumpness' just not one area.

If you click on the link in my post above, you can see all the required ingredients.

I can't wear mascara so it isn't that. Per the allergist, my under-eye discoloration is primarily from ongoing allergies/sinus issues. I've used HA serum and it helps with the bags, but not with the darkness. The two active ingredients in the cream I plan to make have been clinically demonstrated to improve the discoloration, so... stay tuned!

Well, I made it tonight. I expected it to be runny using PS80 instead of the GelMaker EMU... and it is! But it's ok in a pump bottle that dispenses just a pearl each time. I'll give it a few days and decide whether achieving more of a gel texture is worth the cost of ordering the GME. The shipping is what kills me - makes the price double!

I’ve been wanting to make lotion and emulsified body butter for a long time and this summer is it. I sell body butter which works well but customers complain it’s too greasy, and they request a lotion. I accidentally ordered a bucket of East African Shea butter a few months ago instead of my typical West African Shea butter for soapmaking. Boy was I surprised to open the bucket to find East African Shea is a slushy liquid! It is supposed to be very good in lotion so my accident is kick starting my lotion product development!

Oh how exciting' let us know on your results. I was thinking about skincare products & "cost" though a savings in the in the long run, I thought Oxygen = Oxidation = Rancidity: Key is prolonging usage, next thought was the container for storage ( airless pump would be perfect ) I'm gonna look for them.
