I have been researching for a while. I would get very frustrated when people didn’t measure and just “eyeballed it”. I like measurements and to have a consistent product each time. So thank you for helping me understand how to come up with a formula!!!!!!! You’re amazing!!!!!
An easier math equation to do is to take your calculator and put in the total batch amount which is 30 and multiply it by the percentage....30x88.5% then click = which comes up to 26.55, I came from the old school of math which is much easier than the new math they teach with so many complicated steps :) I love how you explain the formulations, I was someone who would put 5 oils into a body oil but now rethinking it.
2yrs later and I am loving this video. Thank u. U are so kind and a very good teacher. Very helpful and yes, I paused and did the math and got them correct. Told u, good teacher.
Hello, I'm a beginner. I've mixed oils for years not understanding percentages(just adding things I like almost like a cooking recipe). I appreciate your tutorials and this information so much ..so I can help keep my consistency. I also loved learning about the vitamin e helping to prevent from getting rancid🌟 You are a talented and knowledgeable gem. So great what you share and how you promote other small brands. Gratitude 😁❣
@@TaraLeee I commented on this video I hope you can find it I was unable to tag your name but another question I had was where are you purchasing the Natrasil because when I Google it it's giving products with that in it already it's not actually giving that product that I need so I'm having a hard time on finding where I can purchase this product thank you in advance❤
You do such a great job at making formulating much easier than it could be. I've been following you for at least a year now, and you've helped me so much in upping my knowledge with formulating and understanding business (even outside of cosmetic products). Thanks so much for your help and generosity!
Thank you for teaching me an easier, understandable way to write a formula, convert percentages into a gram recipe and the ability to covert the recipe into any sized batch. Great video series! I want to watch every single one. Thank you for teaching me. Everything I've ever learned, I've learned from other people...Blessed are those who teach well. Your Awesome!!!
Tara you have NO IDEA how much you’ve helped me. After 2-1/2 years I really considered taking a formulation class as i felt it was the MOST important thing to learn especially dealing with the public’s skin and this has helped so much! Thank you for this and yes I actually paused the video and did the math to challenge myself and now better understand working in grams, percentages instead of oz… you are a true blessing to us who are not just out here throwing together recipes to make money; I am one that personally care about my customers skin, and longevity not the money; so again MANY THANKS! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
Very helpful. Some of my students come from troubled families and it helps them to do something that is creative but not related to their studies. I am not good at all this but I try. This will help! Thank you so much.
This video was so informative!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to break it down for us beginners. It helped me understand and feel more comfortable mixing my ingredients. And yes, I did pause the video and do the math. I'm proud to say I was spot on!
This series is amazing! I'm slowly working my way through the Playlist. I found it so funny that I also was first interested in making skincare from those Pinterest recipes. I quickly found out that "natural" is not always better when they caused eczema flare ups! I thought you explained the formulation process in this video so well.
Hey Tara. Thank you for all the awesome videos. To keep my labels looking new, I put clear packing tape over them. I sometimes write usage rates with a sharpie too (under the tape). Hope that helps someone.
Thank you Tara for this video, I actually paused the video to get the calculations down. I got it right, this help me so much!! Lots of love from the U.K
BTW... Yes, elementary but I thank god for you! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. It is 100% needed. And if ever I get even remotely to where you are I will give YOU a shout out every time.
Funny... I watched you a month ago and realized I was lost most of the time because I just didn't understand the big picture, mainly because I hadn't even decided on what I wanted to make/ingredients... So... I've spent the last month researching (aka lots of google) and purchased all the ingredients I want to use. Now I am ready... Re-watching and loving it... Again! PS I forgot the most important thing though... A scale ....ugh. Soon to be...
Thank you sooooo much for your content. I’m glad you did this video exactly how you think it should be done. There’s not many videos like this one that really broke it down, so your video was perfect. Thank you Taralee
I was trying to formulate my own body oils and to be honest I had no idea what I was doing😂😂. However after watching your videos I now know what I am doing. Terrific videos.
Thank you Tara this was an awesome video to watch, I love how you get straight to the point! I have already made so many different formulations and recipes, after watching your video. Thank you, and keep up the great work!!!
I am sooo happy i found your Channel ❤️ i do have a bit of experience but you explain it so well that i really have more fun learning even more❤️ I thank you sooo much for all your effort❤️
You helped me so much ! I watched so many videos on formulation and this one helped me out so much !! You really are amazing and I appreciate your videos they are helping me with my own business thank you 💗 and fyi your so pretty love 💗
I don't like maths. I just use a percentage to weight calculator lol. Your explanation on how to calculate is very well detailed. Truly appreciate this video! Thanks for sharing.
Girl, you are totally the Chemistry teacher I never had. I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOUR VIDEO! I am so in love with all the natural essential oils, and in the mist of creating my skincare product line. I would like to know what you think about scented candle. I love my house smelling fresh and clean, but ever since my Doberman puppy arrived, I’ve stopped using it. Because i know the doggy nose is so much more sensitive than us human, and I dont want to do any harm on his breathing systems. So for the love of my dog, I am making essential oil blend to drip them on crystals and make a air freshener out of that. Unfortunately the smell is very faint, nearly unnoticeable :(
Tara may i ask, how if the ingredients for body oil are body oil and powder like rose powder? Is it oil based or water based? Does it need preservatives?
Perfect timing very helpful and detailed my issue is that is 100s of product to choose from to make a massage oil 😩🤦🏾♀️💆🏾 who has the time and money test all those products... but I’ll try to keep it easy breezy
I must first say ur the OG .... for the natrasil, IPM , coco caprylate ... do u normally use all three when formulating body oils . Or can u just choose one and use it
I have a question I want to add some products to a few oils I have what step do I add it and how much would I use for these ingredients lecithin, ascorbyl palmitate, & tocopherol
Hi Tara! I just started watch your formulating for beginners. I was wondering if you have a book or a pepper that you’ve made that breaks things down. Like list of ingredients, formulation, recipe etc like something beginners could use to get in a habit of doing. I hope that makes sense.
You're great! Can you also make all natural 50 SP sunscreen and all natural no chemicals no rinse deep facial cleanser? Also, do you know how they do instant anti-wrinkle creams? Can you make all natural anti-wrinkle, tightening peptide creams as well?
Oh I use glycerin a bit higher than 5% 😬 I love lotion crafter. I just love making stuff. I’m curious about when to use which emulsifying wax and which preservative. I used germal plus but I want to know if I should use others and why. These questions are floating around in my head. Nice video
Even though the recommended usage rate is 1-5% I think it is totally fine to use it at a higher percentage. It won't do any harm to your skin. I think they recommend 5% as the maximum because it can feel greasy, but as long as you enjoy using it at a higher percentage, it is fine. :) Typically emulsifying wax is used to make emulsions like lotions. It helps thicken formulas and emulsify oil and water. As for the preservative question, it typically depends on the ph. There are other exceptions, but typically the main one is ph. Some preservative are only active in specific ph levels. liquid germall plus is okay to use in ph levels 3-8, which works for most products, unless you are making liquid soap.
Hey there, I have been looking to formulate a tissue oil to help reduce scaring so this has helped me a lot so thanks for these videos ❤️ On another in the near future video could you please show us body butter formulation examples one with water and one without. TIA
These videos are so helpful, thank you! Would you say cuticle and body oil follow the same guidelines just with a tweak towards oils that are nail focused (for example adding some sweet almond oil)?
The way you broke this down helped me so much
the dedication you put into your videos and carefully explaining things is something to be extremely proud of, well done 👍

I love the way you explain everything. Thank you for being so thorough 🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing. I learned so much !!!!
Very much needed. And Easy to understand. Thanks for sharing!
Can we substitute natrasil and Coco Caprylate with cyclomethicone?
Thank you for this super easy way to calculate formulating.
You keep saying super easy. Yes for you since you been doing it. Seems very complex and I watched 4 times
This series was very helpful thank you !!

Is there a way i can translate my recipe/percentages to oz?
Hey Tara, can I substitute the coco caprylate for Isododecane?

This ain't elementary. Ramped up my brain several times😄
Tara may i ask, how if the ingredients for body oil are body oil and powder like rose powder? Is it oil based or water based? Does it need preservatives?
great series!
what kind of products would you use for adding color? And how does adding dried flowers affect the shelf life?
Is vitamins e t50 the same as the one mentioned in your recipe
thank you soo much for this video! it really helped me understand formulatin and percentages into recipes! Thank youuu!❤️
Perfect timing very helpful and detailed my issue is that is 100s of product to choose from to make a massage oil 😩🤦🏾♀️💆🏾 who has the time and money test all those products... but I’ll try to keep it easy breezy

I must first say ur the OG .... for the natrasil, IPM , coco caprylate ... do u normally use all three when formulating body oils . Or can u just choose one and use it
Hi Tara please suggest what can we use in replace of coco caprylate as it is hard to find in India.
I have a question, would this be the same process as making perfume oils like the ones from sand & fog?
This was an awesome video, thank you so much.
Thank you for your time and knowledge
I paused it and got my calculations right! So easy, thanks!😘
Thank you so much for sharing this information!!! This has been so helpful and a Godsend 🙏🏾💕

Can we use the herb instead of essential oil?
Im so glad I found this. Thank you so much for explaining.
where can i get some of these ingredients that are hard to find? Thanks Lisa
Thank you so much for this information, this has helped me tremendously! I appreciate you ❤️
Am learning everyday from you thanks

Hi how are you I really like you video you help me so much I just start my skin care bisiness thank you. I really to know which one it's for dry skin?
Do you have a shop you buy the Esthers from?

Is using only coco caprylate enough to make it silky and less greasy ?
This was a perfect explanation for a beginner like me. Thank you!!! ❤
Thanks Tara!!! U r a great teacher, i am keen on ur vids....
Please do a similar thing for lotions and creams!
These videos are so helpful, thank you! Would you say cuticle and body oil follow the same guidelines just with a tweak towards oils that are nail focused (for example adding some sweet almond oil)?
