I never comment on anything but I just wanted to say how grateful I am for you/your videos! It’s so generous of you to share your knowledge and the quality/editing of your videos is great. You should consider selling an e-book or an online course! I’d be all over that and I know others would, too.

[@TaraLeee]

awwwh thank you so much for sharing that with me! I am glad you enjoy my videos. I'm not sure if I will ever make an e-book, but who knows what will happen in the future ;) thanks a million for all your support!

[@hibaali2810]

Im a stay home mom and ive been wanting to start my own business and this is the most thing i've been passionate about since i became a mum thing and when i finally had the time i got so scared and paranoid but you helped me soo much and eased it up on me thankyou so much👏☺️

[@needhelp0913]

Thanks for the series. Another thing about using beakers it’s less of a chance of it shattering. I’ve used measuring cups in the past to melt butters and emulsifying products in a pot with water and the heat was on medium and the glass shattered on the bottom of the measuring cup and all of the product I was melting spilled into the water I was heating. So since then I starting using beakers because of its great heating ability and no glass has shattered and also I can put it on a cooktop without putting it in a pan of water to heat up. Can’t wait to see the rest of your series!!

[@TaraLeee]

oh no! I am so glad I have never experienced that. So sorry that happened. but yes beakers are amazing!! Glad you are excited for the new series :)

I'm looking forward to this series. Hopefully, you can sprinkle in some info about your manufacturing process. I'm currently working out what the best way is to keep batch records and general documentation when testing formations.

[@TaraLeee]

glad you are looking forward to it :) a lot of my product it made to order, or it sells out pretty quickly if I do have a small inventory. I typically just write down in a note book when I make something. & same with testing formulations. I will write out a formulation, test it and just keep adjusting it until I get what I like then write the final formulation, that I'm happy with, in another notebook. lol not the most "professional" process, but it's just me making everything, so as long as I can read it, that works for me. lol

This is a bit off topic and didn't know where to post this question but i recently made a hair conditioner with cetyl alcohol and btms 25 i loved the wah it came out except it was a bit thick 7% btms and 2% cetyl and it was not very moiturizing onve rinsed out. What ingredient would you recomment as a deep moisturizer and how can i make it not so thick? Other ingredients were glycerin 3%, aloe vera juice 8%, pantheon 3%, silk powder 1.3%, essentil oil 1%, dimethicone 6%, and germal plus 0.05%.. Hope you can help me out.. P.

Can any fragrance be mixed with say the lotion you have on here? Edit: thanks a bunch... I just found your channel today and am hooked.. ❤️

[@shorna222]

I love this series! Can you cover FDA naming and what we can’t make info a lil more , I watched those videos and read some of the articles on the fda website but still a bit confused on some parts. (Like how do you name products that are acne fighting, stress free or calming without it being considered a drug, and are we able to use hemp oil (I only found articles on cbd oil or thc), or any other legal stuff that we need)

[@listentothetrees9702]

Hemp oil is legal

[@listentothetrees9702]

But it goes rancid pretty quick it usually needs an antioxidant + refrigeration

[@Cybergirldiary]

Hello dear All the items you highlighted are they basically what you use cause some of them I’m seeing very bad reviews on Amazon about them

[@shugarrexpress3723]

Hi my friend is about to start her skincare line but she's a little confused if she could add cosmetics at the back of her brand name cause she thinks cosmetics are only for those who are into makeup and eyelash sales ( Iza Cosmetics ), she deals with haircare, perfumery and skincare is cosmetics okay to use?

[@tirefasf2089]

Can you pls do a q&a video, and also a seperate vid on how you process orders start to finish? Like how do you know when youve got an order, do you get a notification on your phone or sign in to etsy then theyve got a little notification bar in the corner that shows how many orders you have? Then how much of lets say for ex face scrub do you make? Or do you have some premade in a jar? And then i already saw your packaging video but from where do you print out shipping labels like where is it located on etsy or? And is all the info already written on there or do you have to fill some stuff out? Sorry for all the questions lol just need to know

[@TaraLeee]

I will definitely do a Q&A soon. as for making a video on my order process. have you watched this video? it might help clear up more of your questions - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2HNZmR7hsmZfqc I talk about how etsy shipping works in that video. Also yes, you receive a notification on your phone when you receive a new order and you have a section on etsy called "orders and shipping" where you can see all your orders you have received along with an option to print shipping labels. I have products pre made and I also make some to order if I don't have any pre made. I will my "x" amount of product, maybe enough to fill like 6 containers, then when I run out, I make more when I receive an order for that product I'm out of. I the video I linked to I explain how to purchase shipping labels and how etsy shipping works. hope this helped.

[@CananS]

Ur hair looks cute af 😍

[@TaraLeee]

awwwh thanks :)

[@zafirahazmi9657]

your beakers look so cleannnn and brand new. how do you wash it after using wax? :)

[@TaraLeee]

I have never experienced wax really being stuck to them. I don't use bees wax, I sometimes use other waxes to make deodorants but the wax is mixed in with the product so none is left over on the container. & the same goes with any emulsifier I use. It just mixes in with my product and none is left on the beaker because it is completely melted and emulsified into the product.

[@zafirahazmi9657]

@@TaraLeee thanks Tara. Maybe I use a little too much wax before. I find it easier to wash when making new batch today :)

[@herbalistriver9258]

If I want to make soap and cosmetics, do I need separate equipment or can I use the same equipment for both?

[@TaraLeee]

yes, definitely make sure the equipment is separate.

[@yettyperry1088]

Hi Tara❤❤❤. So the scale i got measures from 1g to 5kg is it good or should i just return it cause i couldnt get the one that weighs from 0.01g and the link on amazon doesnt ship to my country😭😭😭

[@TaraLeee]

hi there, I highly recommend a scale that weighs to 0.01 grams. When making skincare products you tend to use smaller number.

[@Ihekwaba]

Am having problem with calculating my ingredients in grams

[@ceb4950]

I wish we could have a conversation the videos are very informative though 💙💙💙

[@sincerelyshanique2228]

Could I use an immersion blender to make bentonite clay mask?? Because clay reacts to metal and the immersion blend has metal blades. What do I do?

[@TaraLeee]

I don't think using an immersion blender for that is a good idea. not only because of the metal, but immersion blenders work best in liquid products. since bentonite clay is a powder it's best to mix by hand. an immersion blender or hand mixer would most likely cause the powder to go everywhere!

[@sincerelyshanique2228]

TaraLee I would mix it slightly by hand and then use a hand mixer to make it smooth.. but the blades are metal

[@Celineelisexo]

crock pot over a stove top its way more safer and less items to have . if I get a stove top that means I need a pan every single time and a pan that fits what I need . a crock pot is big and it heats up there's so many different type of crock pots way better than a stove top

[@divya2677]

HOW'S MICROWAVE INSTEAD OF STOVE TOP? GOOD VIDEO👍

[@MISSINDIANAPOLIS]

Divya Rathod26 microwave tend to over heat I use a double boiler as well

[@TaraLeee]

I don't even own a microwave, so I've never tried it. but I agree with what Miss. T's Journal said. It would probably over heat or just not work as well.

[@LovelessYayaoi]

Microwaves don't give you the even, controlled heat that using a stovetop can. However, I personally DO use a microwave for some things that I need to simply warm up or melt and not worry about reaching a particular temperature with. I would recommend using small bursts and keeping an eye on whatever you're microwaving if you want to use that method.

[@sassyrarebreed9914]

Microwaves also change and deplete the benefits of the ingredients in your using. If you're going to make natural products you do not want to use a microwave. He also do not want to strain anything through pantyhose just FYI I keep seeing that all over the place in comment sections in thats not good. They're full of chemicals flame retardant chemicals also.

[@aliceherlambang8215]

is it possible to use normal blender instead of the hand blender

[@TaraLeee]

I'm not sure since a normal blender typically blends and breaks up whats inside it.

[@giwaaishat2005]

Hi taralee, pls when I make my lotion, after 48hours it started to separate, that is the water was at the bottom of cream.. Pls what could cause that? Thesere my formula Water phase: Distilled water 30% Papaya puree 35% Oil phase: Rosehip oil 5% Sweet almond oil 10% Ewax NF 4% Stearic acid 3% Cocoa butter 3% Vegetable glycerin 5% Cool down phase: 1% of optiphen 1% of lavender essential oil Additives: Gluthathone powder 1% Alpha arbutin 2% Please I want you to enlighten me more on lotion because this is the 3rd I am making it any I keep seeing water at d bottom. Of the cream? Thanks looking forward for your respond or you can give me your email so we talk better place 🙏🙏

[@TaraLeee]

I am going to take a wild guess and assume it is the optiphen. Also are you using optiphen plus or just optiphen? because optiphen is for oil based products only and optiphen plus is for water based products (which lotion is a water based product) also if you are using optiphen plus, it has a huge tendency of separating emulsions. I noticed some people have better luck with it than others. I made 5 different lotions with it and 4 emulsified fine, but the 5th one didn't. so I sat there for like 20 minutes just mixing and mixing, eventually it emulsified. so I personally don't prefer optiphen plus. I do like optiphen for my oil based products. but I prefer using leucidal sf complete or liquid germall plus over optiphen plus. ps. I do know I have been using optiphen plus in my videos lately. but it is because I bought some to try and now I just want to use it up so it doesn't go to waist.

[@giwaaishat2005]

Tara Lee, I wish to give you a hug right now, thanks for always willing to teach more And educate us more.. I am so grateful for this little lecture on preservative, this will make me study well on that.... Thanks you very very much And pls is the additives I added to d lotion, is it too less or Wah?
