Silybum, try it the other way around. Put your waters in first and when everything is whirring nicely, add the oils in a slow, steady stream through the top of the blender. That's how it is done with making homemade mayonnaise and mustards and is the only way I got it to work with Rosemary's face cream too. Good luck!

You can do that... or what I like to do, is go to the Soapmakers Supply websites and buy some e-wax... the ewax helps make the water mix with oil...

herbalbetty - thank you, thank you, thank you. I had success making cream by reversing the directions. I was ready to give up after the first batch, but now I am sooooooo excited. So glad I checked here first. Thanks again.

Silybum. Great news! It took me awhile playing with the recipe to figure it out and I was tickled when it worked well too. Congratulations!

You could also put the oils first, then add the water slowly, drop by drop, using a pipette to do this. Make sure the water is warm.

Can anyone supply a recipe for the above?
Thanks.

I would also like that herbal face cream recipe please.
Thanks

another method is to use an emulsifant, a natural and easyly accesable one is alcohol, mix it with the oil then add water

either way, good luck, and enjoy

hows about adding lavender to one if your recipie(s) dont contain it, then it'll be part face cream part perfume. everyone loves lavender
