I love that you keep evolving. I have only been doing this since September. I changed my name and packaging. I may change again. I am still settling into my niche. Its hard not to let people influence you. I got plastic shamed at a show. I felt like "you do you. Let me be me"

@JerikaZimmerman 2 ай бұрын

Ahhh the longer you do it, the thicker your skin gets. Those people plastic shaming you probably have no qualms about the plastic wrapped food they buy at the grocery store. Keep at it and always do what feels right and best for you ❤

@angelagardener1234 2 ай бұрын

@michellecollier don't keep changing your name so often. You want your customer to recognise your brand and you want to build up trust. I don't purchase from brands that keep changing as it makes me look at business as either fake or not genuine so I go find somewhere who looks like its a safe and secure. Grateful for my daughter who studied Fashion and Retail who told this whilst building my company back in 2011. I have been reading up on the Psychology of Customer Service Shopping which is incredible. 😊

I just got fragrance oil shamed altho i use essential oils also. So weird. People use all sorts of craziness on their bodies and they have to be mean to you. I do vegan plant based except beeswax. Then i do that. 2nd guess myself. We have sensitive skin in my house and cant tolerate alot and i have no issues. But one lady, smearing on her chemical makeup and flammable perfume and eating her dye additive snack and chemically sweetened beverage, acts ie i am awful and i start to wonder if i am doing it all wrong. People r mean. I could never go up to someone and say something negative to them about something they put their heart into.

@@JerikaZimmerman we make a calendula extraction we took one oz of dried calendula flowers and ground them in a coffee grinder, and then added a shot of 80 proof vodka in a mason jar. We stirred that up good and let that sit 24 hrs. After that we added it to avocado oil for three days in a warm spot, it was actually in our honey warmer we have. Strained the calendula out and it turned into a super duper extraction! I saw the video here on KZfaq and we’ve been adding the calendula oil to our lotions! We seem to learn something every day. Maybe this would make the pea flowers brighter!

Hi Jerika, I love your videos! It's what I binge watch in my bed. I always look forward to new videos. I usually don't comment but I wanted to share my experience. During formulation school, I've tried making a pea flower lotion that turned out good but was not stable. I was looking for the purple color which I got a very light pretty purple, but after adding my preservative, it changed to blue which was also pretty. I did give up on it and moved on because of the poor stability. Since then I've learned so much and your video is so inspiring, I might just try it out again with my new knowledge. My poor stability could have been due to many factors including the ph, electrolytes or even something as simple as an additive. Some of these reasons could potentially be the reason for your lotion not keeping its color. Maybe the witch hazel as it naturally lowers the ph of the mixture which can cause altering in the color, or something else. However I'm more interested to find out if your cream remained stable once it sat down. It took me a lot of lotion making to get it right. I always say if you can make a lotion, you can make anything as I think emulsions are some of the hardest formulations to keep stable. Can't wait for you next video!
