It's been some time since I showed you how to make fresh from the garden skincare! This time we're using homegrown chamomile flowers to make a gentle and natural skin lotion. Chamomile is a healing flower, like calendula, and is used to gently soothe eczema and other inflamed skin conditions. It's great for normal skin too and smells simply incredible.
I also introduce you to my new book, A Woman's Garden, Grow Beautiful Plants and Make Useful Things, that's now available for preorder:

the child in me that made "perfume" for my mum out of flowering weeds is SO HAPPY making things like this! I'm 45 and still concocting things but I'm a little better at it now thanks to people lile you Tanya haha,thanks so much and I'm excited about this book of yours. I hope to get a copy for myself & what a great title for it too!

Oh god, I remember making a horrible perfume for her 😫I left rubbing alcohol in it and mixed in with old and some rose petals and good god it smelled horrible

@spacecaptain9188 Год назад

I use beeswax as an emulsifier. It's a natural preservative, and it smells fantastic! It also makes your skin feel super soft and silky!

@Lovelygreens Год назад

Beeswax is neither a true emulsifier nor in any way a preservative. It will not stop your cream from molding, growing fungus, or becoming a breeding ground for bacteria.

@aaanita Год назад

@@Lovelygreens are you sure? I created lipbalm with beeswax and some oils, three years ago and its still the same, was never refrigarated. Still not rancid, no mold either. (It does not contains distilled water though.)

@flopipop5376 Год назад

@@aaanita honey never grows bacteria so maybe beeswax doesn't either

@ropi8739 Год назад

Beeswax is a high-quality, never completely understood by humans, resin. We just cannot fathom how it's REALLY created and what is its power. Being a resin, there's NO WAY mould can get there, let alone prosper. Blended with pure oils, with no water in them, still no way for mold to impact it.

@lmd2454 Год назад

@@aaanita it definitely isn't an actual emulsifier, however, it can help the emulsification happen, it just doesn't make it stable. And although beeswax can't mold or go rancid itself, it doesn't protect the other oils from doing so either. Lip balm is a pretty stable formula because it is simple, there's no water, and it is pretty firm. All three things reduce the likelihood that it will go bad. So using it in lotions will not provide preservative action, or stabilize the emulsification.

@shelly5596 3 года назад

I've been making my own skincare for many years. I enjoyed your video, thank you. I'm writing this while trying to beat the heat as I sip fresh mint & sweet basil, strawberry tea, sweetened with liquid stevia. One of many deliciously hydrating cold beverages I've had thanks to my garden offerings.

@cometojesustoday Год назад

Hello there can you please tell me how long exactly do these creams last. I’m afraid to make them as a gift and having them go bad so early as a 18 months because I don’t know if my ladies will use it right away.

@Lovelygreens 7 месяцев назад

18 months, with a preservative. The same shelflife as creams that you buy from the shop.

This was a refreshingly thorough tutorial. Thank you for sharing! I'm looking forward to your book! I LOVE the topics you'll cover. Can you elaborate on the preservative - how do we know when the lotion goes bad? Is there an obvious change in texture or smell? I skimmed through the instructions on your website but I didn't see if we just need to add enough to achieve a pH of 4.5 - 5.5 or if there is a ratio of preservative to the oil and water volume? Also, I tried to grow chamomile this summer but nothing germinated. Do you have any tips on growing it for the first time? Thanks in advance!

@GG-xz7nv Год назад

I’m wondering the same. I’ve always been under the impression infused oils did not require a preservative as long as fried herbs are used then strained, and as long as no water is used.
