Make Your own Bi-Phase Cleansers - a New Publication

Lise

I’m very excited to share the latest LisaLise publication with you! We’re playing with plant colorants and making a bit of fun-loving, colorful cleansing magic in the form of bi-phase cleansers.

I had a blast putting this one together with all of the different colorful options there are to try.

And guess what? This is all about being able to customise!

It’s a Formulation Template

The astute observer may notice that the cover design features a band of color along the left side (which isn’t very common in my publications). That’s a visual indication that this e-book is (what I have decided to call) a Formulation Template.

This is something I have been wracking my brains about for quite a while: how to create a formula that is fully customisable yet contains enough information to ensure as successful a result as humanly possible.

This self-appointed challenge came about because of the many questions I get on ingredient substitutions. And because not everyone can get every ingredient all over the planet (well, duh), I wanted to try and accommodate that situation by creating a kind of ‘ open formula with a set of guidelines for a successful outcome’.

So it became a Formulation Template.

What does all this mean? It means you get a ‘toolkit’ of ingredient information and additional useful stuff, a formulation template with instructions on how to use it, and some example formulas to show you a few possible variations and get you comfortable with the whole process.

The first formulation template was the tooth powder e-book and I’ve gotten so much positive feedback on it that I just had to do another one. (And if you have suggestions for additional e-books you’d like to see of this type, please feel free to drop a comment below - I’m all ears!)

3 Bespoke Formulas Included

While developing an e-book of this type, I make and test a lot of formulas in several different versions. I decided to include 3 of the formulas in this book. So apart from the template (which shows you how to create your own formulas), you can also dive right in and get busy making one of my formulas if you like.

Bi-Phase Cleansers are Both Versatile and Easy to Make

What I love most about this type of product is the absolute versatility it offers. You can use these as eye makeup removers or cleansers, dress them up with fancy ingredients or dress them down to the bare basics. You can create specifically for certain skin types or just have fun with color mixing for the sheer playfulness of it.

The book is illustrated with several of the versions I made and I better warn you right now. If you like playing around with colors, you might get little addicted to making and using these.

Checking in on this Preservative Free Cleansing Balm

Lise

Although the shelf life of this preservative free cleansing balm is listed as 4 months in the e-book, I have been using and testing it a while longer.

It was made in Sept 2018 and has been living in my bathroom ever since. Although the balm is packaged in an air-tight PET container, has been stored at room temperature and used occasionally, I have been meticulous about keeping the contents free of moisture at all times. For the first half a year or so, I used an applicator, but then started dipping directly into the product with (dry) fingers.

Above is a little video I made of the very last bit of the jar. Time since date of production: 19 months.

While I cannot recommend letting a preservative free product stand around for quite this long - even if it is anhydrous - this little exercise demonstrates how packaging, storage conditions and how the product is dispensed can have a considerable influence on the shelf life of a product. Also, using fresh, quality ingredients and observing proper GMP is always going to be imperative to the success of a product of this type.

The formula for the Gentle Cleansing Balm is featured on page 92 of the book pictured below. If you’re a fan of chocolate-scented anything, I can recommend trying the (pictured) version with raw cocoa powder.

Even Steven Pricing

Lise

It would be infinitely easier if the whole world used the same system of math, currency, measurement, and regulations, but unfortunately, it doesn’t quite work that way. We are all subject to the laws of the country/region we live in.

Although that’s quite understandable, it can still seem unfair at times.

Because of the different rules, laws, and regulations of the different countries, folks in some regions have experienced an extra fee added to the price when purchasing an item in the LisaLise shop.

It doesn’t seem right that some have to pay more for the same product simply because they live where they do.

After agonizing over how to ‘fix this’, we’ve come up with a solution that we feel is more fair for everyone. Pricing on the products in the shop has been ‘evened out’ and as of January 15, 2020, the price you see in the shop is the end price - regardless of where you live.
