Cold Cream Review 

I can relate to making/doing things that you just enjoy even if they might not be the most handy or beneficial or efficient. Using stuff you made just brings a joy that few things compare to!

Appreciate the review. I was curious how much "slip" would be left on the skin depending on oil used. As for the face powder, it must look different in person versus on camera. It looked quite lovely on screen. A slight glowing appearance, and not too caky or powdery translated through filming. Quite a finished look. The lip color is lovely! Please continue sharing your insights/experiences with homemade products. These videos are quite informative and delightful.

I didn’t start wearing face cream daily until I was about 25. I have changed it frequently over the years, especially during pregnancy and since the menopause, I have found you need to experiment with different types, until you find one that suits your current needs. I have never considered making my own, so I have been fascinated by your experiments.

Thank you for you video! It was very interesting, also from a pharmacist‘s perspective, how long you think those keep etc. And also from a kind of zero waste perspective and crocheting make up wipes, cool!

This was lots of fun to watch. I've never considered making my own cold cream before, but after watching this, I might give it a go.

Reminds me of Noxema that I used when I first started wearing make up, as a young teen, in the early 80's ( yes, I am " old"), to remove make up. My sister is 11 years older than I, she used vaseline to remove her eye makeup, and Noxema to remove the rest. I could not bring myself to use the vaseline on my eyes, it grossed me out. The Noxema, left on, had that thick mask effect. Like Lucy😆... I use a thick grainy salve with lavender on my feet, at night. It stays oily for a while, but works better than anything else than I've tried. I've enjoyed your cold cream experiments. 😀

Thank you for the review of the cold cream video that you made earlier, I really enjoyed both and am looking for a simple 3 ingredient moisturiser. I have rosacea and dry sensitive skin and go through phases of making my own (Rosemary Gladstar Perfect Cream is a good one to try) and then finding I need something lighter in the summer so have used synthetic emulsifyers and preservatives in my creams. Its not long though before I find I'm reacting to them and wanting lovely beeswax again. I keep goats and would love to 'design' a goat milk face cream.

Never made face powder but hair powder colored with cocoa and activated charcoal until it matches my light brown hair. Did try making face cream from beef fat. That one was great. Yes a bit greasy but I only used it at night for a nice heavy night moisturizer. It really didn't smell like beef at all.

I wear makeup every day. The cold cream you made looks like a winner for makeup removal; I wash off my makeup with Dove soap, or a face wash, designed to remove makeup. Your cold cream is much quicker! I think it will be fun making my own cold cream. Hmm...hunting down the oils and wax might take some time. xoxo's Sandie🤗

Residue on the skin is a plus in my box because it's an effective barrier layer to heat/cold and pollutants. Like another commenter, my acne cleared up within weeks of starting with straight olive oil after years of nothing much working. For olive oil soap going slimy, it needs to be kept out of water and only touch water when you're actually using it (ie. make sure your soap dish drains well and don't dip it in the bath).

Really enjoyed this review, actually all of your 'toiletry concoction' videos. I have used apricot kernel oil as my moisturiser for decades - my skin is very dry and sensitive and 'pharmaceutically produced' seem to consistently bring me out in rashes. In recent years I've started making cold creams with apricot oil (rather than almond oil - I'm allergic to nuts) as I wanted something I could pop into my bag for moisturising straight after swimming. And now the dreaded peri-menopause is upon me I'm using it religiously on face, neck and hands...

So much fun! I love cold creams as removers. And I think I have most of those ingredients in my soaping stash! Thank you for sharing this. If you fancy trying to make your favorite coconut cream again try using fractionated coconut oil instead of the more solid version. It is liquid at room temp and would probably behave better. Plus it shouldn't cause the clogging issues either. My mother in law and sister in law use it straight up on their really dry skin. Love you Stancey!

I always enjoy your research and experiments.

Thank you.

Interesting! I wonder how the grainy one would be if it was made in a double boiler like the other. I sew washable face wipe things out of terrycloth and flannel. I find that they wash easier than crochet, I made myself a little netting bag to keep the used ones in and when I do a 60 C wash I toss the bag in too. One round of finding little cotton rounds in my pillowcases and clothes was enough for me

Very interesting! Thank you. I am lazy, so I will continue using straight oil as my cleanser and moisturizer. Lazy, and also, it has been the best thing to combat my acne. Seriously. I stopped using any cleanser, water only, and that helped. Then I learned about washing with oil and never looked back. I've used olive, coconut and jojoba oil. Olive is handy and does a good job. Coconut smells nice, and as I live in the subtropics is liquid most of the year. recently got the jojoba and it is my favorite. But if I get my hands on some beeswax I may try this for a lark. I wonder if the rose water at arabic grocery stores is the same thing? Probably.

I loved this. Thank you for sharing. I quite enjoy the lip tint, is there a video where you made it?

I adore you forays into homemade toiletries

That was fascinating, I will try some of these. Is it possible to make lip balm with blackberries? Birdy
