I've added this to the blog post :)

I'm afraid I haven't! I recommend checking out these posts (www.humblebeeandme.com/how-to-research-your-ingredients-part-1 & www.humblebeeandme.com/how-to-research-your-ingredients-part-2) to learn how to research it + learn what it's for/how to use it :) Happy making!

You are remembering correctly :) Check out the deep dive I did on cetearyl alcohol to learn more!

Hi Scott! Please read this FAQ: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/how-can-i-incorporate-x-ingredient-into-a-formulation/ :) Happy making!

Yes, polysorbate is a solubilizer. Learn more in the Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/) :) Happy making!

In a nutshell: Solubiliser=Small amount of oil into a larger amount of water/water soluble ingredient Emulsifier=Small amount of water into a larger amount of oil/butter

I did an entire video on serums for sheet masks last month-check it out :) Thanks for watching!

@@HumblebeeAndMe can't believe I missed that one, and I'm subscribed 😱 thank you, I need to check it out!!

Hey! You'll find the answers you're looking for in the Humblebee & Me Encyclopedia at www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia. Simply look up the ingredient(s) in question to learn about why they're used in formulas, substitutions, what they do, usage rates, and more. Happy making!

I don't recommend it; we use distilled water because it's *just* water. Bottled water has minerals and other not-water things in it.

Hi! Saying "PEG is known to be a carcinogen" is like saying "Milk is known to cause tuberculosis". The concern usually brought up in regard PEGs is the potential contamination with 1,4-dioxane. 1,4-dioxane is NOT an ingredient in PEGs. Think of it a bit like M. bovis (a bacterial species of the M. tuberculosis complex); this is not an ingredient in milk, it's a potential contaminant, and steps are taken to reduce that contaminant, which is why we generally do not worry about contracting tuberculosis from milk anymore. 1,4-dioxane a well-known potential contaminant, and the industry works hard to reduce that contamination as much as possible. This is true for a lot of ingredients, and is one reason why the grade of an ingredient is important. For example, the allowable concentrations for mercury and lead in iron oxides is much lower in cosmetic grade iron oxides than in industrial grade. There's more information here (www.cosmeticsinfo.org/ingredients/14-dioxane/) that includes discussion on concentration and dosage-something a lot of websites don't discuss, which is crazy when dose is critically important when determining whether or not an ingredient is unsafe. The European Commission Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety concluded "1,4-dioxane amounts in cosmetic products are considered safe for consumers at trace levels of ≤10 ppm". The Glyceryl Stearate (and) PEG-100 Stearate sold by Lotion Crafter is declared to comply with this-and on top of that, you wouldn't be applying that ingredient directly to the skin, so anything you'd actually encounter would be even less concentrated. In short, I am not worried about PEGs :) I don't claim to make strictly organic formulations. Some of my formulations are natural, some aren't. I'm sure I'm exposed to far higher levels of carcinogens walking down the street next to traffic than I am from my formulations.
