As a cerified formulator of natural skincare products. May I offer a few suggestions and a bit of advice here, that you don't use refined Rosehip oil, (the more orange the rosehip, the more beneficial), the one you've used has no colour so has likely had the benefits refined out of it... and don't melt rosehip or the sqaulene in with the butter and beeswax. Instead, mix it in after the melted butter has cooled slightly otherwise you're heating the properties of the rosehip and will damage them. The water phase needs to reach 70 degrees. It's also very important to bring to correct temperature, and not to add the essential oils until after the formulation has decreased to below 30 degrees. When using essential oils in skincare, it's also crucial to stay within the safe dermal limits and they shouldn't ever be more than 1% of the final formulation for leave on products. (this also depends on the essential oils you are using) never measure by drops, but rather by % of formulation. Also when adding ANY water phase to skincare, it needs a preservative to protect against mold, yeast and bacteria which can't always be seen by the naked eye, yet still may be present. This formulation wont be safe to use beyond a few days, if not refridgerated, and maybe upto a week or so, if refridgerated. Sorry, but grapefruit seed extract is NOT a preservative, but an antioxidant. It may help prevent from rancidity, but it WONT preserve the formulation. Plus, it needs to be checked for pH balance. Formualtions should be broken down in phases: A, B, C. Your emulsifying wax should be heated with your butter and wax, the water heated seperately to 70 degrees. Then blended together. Then when the mixture has decreased to 40 degrees you can add the Rosehip and Squalene and Vit C powder to keep them stable. At room temp, you can add the essential oils and a preservative. Once again, if you're adding water to ANY formulation, a preservative MUST be added. Grapefruit Seed Extract is not a preservative, nor are any essential oils. Hope this helps...:)

Her advice needed to be presented here in the comment box since the video has gone public and users needed to know of this helpful and important advice. This video has not been corrected, therefore, the only way we would know how to make this product safely is by reading this knowledgeable persons advice. A comment box is available for sharing all kinds of information and feedback, including helpful and important information from a trained skin care expert. Her comment was not demeaning or negative in anyway so why would anyone get offended? I am very happy to know how to make this product in a way that will be more beneficial to my skin and not grow bacteria. If Sophia would have stated that the product should be keep in the frig and will only last a week or so, the skin care expert probably would not have felt such a strong need to voice her guidance and opinion to all of us. I don’t want to use a moisturizer that is ineffective or growing bacteria. Why would you? I had planned on making this product today and now I will be able to make a much higher quality and lasting product. I don’t have the time or money to waste making an inferior product. Thanks Cotton Blossom Skincare! I really appreciated your time in sharing your expert advice on this recipe. I’ve never heard of you before but I am going to see if you have a channel of your own right now!❤️

What could be used as a preservative? I have citric acid

Say what you will about oils not moisturizing, but this has proven to be a remarkable product. I started using my own mix of Sophie's Vitamin-C serum and hyaluronic acid serum November 25th of last year. Within the first month I met three different people who were visibly stunned to learn my age. The serum did nothing to moisturize, so I made up this cream early this year, and the results have been quite remarkable. While enjoying a nice restaurant dinner with my son last month, we encountered a friend of his who mistook me for his SISTER! Nothing like that ever happened when I was using top-of-the-line commercial products. I'm 70 years old, I don't color my silver hair, and I wear no makeup at all, so this man's mistake was the result of my skin care, nothing more. Two thumbs up, Sophie. Obviously, this works for me.

Hi Sophie. I´m a fan of yours. I´ve discover you around one year ago and I love to see your videos. Keep up the excellent work. I´ve seen all your videos on the vitamin C. I want to start using it, but I have some questions. If you could take the time to reply to me I would be extremely grateful. Can you recommend other companies/ websites besides making cosmetics.com as that one doesn´t ship internationally. In my case would have to be to Europe. Do you recommend using your Vitamin C serum (second recipe) with L Ascorbic acid followed by your vitamin C new moisturizer with magnesium ascorbyl phosphate in a morning routine? Do you recommend using it both vitamin C serum and moisturizer in the morning and night routine? Or using the vitamin C serum and vitamin C moisturizer in the morning and retinoids at night? By the way, I know it´s off topic but I´d love to know your opinion if you can. Are retinoids better than Alpha Hydroxy acids? Thank a lot.

Hi Sophie, love your videos! The link for the squalene oil is not working for me and I am having trouble finding organic squalene oil so could you be so kind and give me the link to where you buy yours? I don't live in USA so I need to buy it online. Thanks

Hi Sophie.... 1. What about using the Camu Camu powder along with or in place of the Ascorbic Acid crystals? 2. When you add the Ascorbic Acid crystals to the heated wax solution, won't you destroy at least some of its properties? Ascorbic Acid crystals are very unstable and deactivate in light and heat. Thanks....

This form of Vitamin C that she uses, called Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, is a very stable version of Vitamin C and can be held at a temperature of about 175 degrees (F) and won't start to degrade for ten hours or so. So, just heating high enough here to dissolve in the water won't hurt it and it is stable in the formula.

Hi Sophie! I've been making home products, and homemade personal care but I confess that I was worrying about homemade facial products. Especially because everything I use is anti-aging. But after what your video I'm very excited to give it a try and see if it works for me. I have some questions... 1. I'm vegan and usually I replace bees was for candelilla wax. Can I replace it in this recipe? It's important to use bothe wax? 2. If I use Candelilla wax which is from vegetable, do I still need to use vegetable emulsifying wax? 3. Usually I use vitamin C serum 20% (that also contains hyaluronic acid) every morning because it's the perfect combination with the Retin-A that I apply at night(5 days a week). If I start to use your DIY moisturizer which already contains vitamin C, should I stop using my Vitamin C serum in the morning?or can I make this DIY cream with 20% vitamin C? 4. I just saw in that making cosmetics.com sells Hyaluronic acid. Should I add this in this recipe to make it more anti-aging effective? Sorry, this is my first face DIY product and everything I have used contains Hyaluronic acid which is known for fight anti-aging, but I don't really know scientifically if everything should have it in the ingredient so if you can help me with that would be amazing!! Thank you :)

Hey Camila! If you want an easier recipe for a Vitamin C Serum, just exactly like the one you buy in the store, you can check my Vit C Serum video. What you are doing right now, combining Vit C in the morning with Retin A at night, is probably the best you can do for your skin. If you make your own Vitamin C serum, you should not use it twice. Finish the store one first and then make your own. If you want, you can add Hyaluronic Acid to it. Its main effect is moisturizing, so if you want to keep it simple and inexpensive, use the Vitamin C Serum and Retin A + any moisturizing cream. Hope it helped!

The refrigerator, unfortunately, will not keep it from growing bacteria - especially since your fingers will be going into the jar daily and will introduce bacteria into the formula. These bacteria can be extremely dangerous and they can remain invisible for quite a while and still be very dangerous. They are most dangerous to people who have skin problems, sores, are diabetic, or have low immune systems. Sepsis can form in the body. Mold can be invisible and spread it's "tentacles" throughout a formula and completely overtake it before the spores are even visible to the human eye. An effective preserving medium is extremely important. I am for as natural as you can get, so I use one called "Vegecide" and it can be found in various lotion making supply companies online. It's extremely mild and rates a "1" on the EWG Skinsafe Database online.

You want to do some peels on a regular basis, and use tons of vitamin C - I recommend using my original Vitamin C DIY serum every morning. But, I have to say, it might be your sun damage coming out, and if that's the case, the only thing that will totally deal with that, is laser. I have a lot of sun damage/discoloration too. I didn't take care of my skin in my teens and twenties and sunbathed in hot sun with BABY OIL on my face - I am considering a laser down the line, but for now I just treat it with Vitamin C, and regular peels.

Hi there. I have made this twice now, and the mixture just gets really really hard and doesn't feel like it rubs on very well, is there anything that I could be doing wrong?

Too much beeswax - I'm so sorry that you've been having this problem. The recipe can behave differently based on where you are (altidue, humidity, etc.). Try just one tsp of beeswax next time.

Hi Sofie, is it ok add Vitamin E Oil??thanks
