When I’m talking about “primary” & “secondary” oils I’m not referring to Essential oils as the “secondary” oil What I am trying to explain is that within the group of carrier oils I noticed they can be separated into two different sub categories. I like to call those sub categories ”primary” & “secondary” The primary oils are the cheaper oils like almond oil, apricot kernel oil, grapeseed oil, etc. The secondary oils are the really expensive ones, the ones that might stain your skin, like carrot seed or sea buckthorn oil. Or oils that might smell and need diluted like Neem oil. I hope that cleared things up :)

[@darrenro2]

How could i add aloe vera to an oil product? I'm making a body oil and i want to include aloe vera but i'm not sure how, would i need to make my own infuse the oil if so which method would be the best?

[@pro-z1816]

That SQUALINE is expensive

[@NataliaMichalova]

Just stumbled across your video looking for an explanation between a "carrier oil" and a "diluent" when adding terpines to food and beverages. (Sometimes it makes more sense when I hear it explained rather than read it) My reading says-- "Diluent: A substance which is combined with a larger volume of another substance to reduce its strength." _I believe these are the *Secondary Oils* you're referring to (i.e. oils that are too expensive/potent to be used on their own.) "Carrier: A substance which is combined with a smaller volume of another substance to reduce its strength. The term carrier is derived from its purpose. Another term for carrier is base." I think these are the *Primary Oils* you're referring to. Examples of carrier oils listed were: Coconut oil, jojoba oil, hemp seed oil, etc. I'm kinda thinking of the general proportions of cough syrup... Primary oil/"Carrier": Inactive ingredients Secondary oil/"Diluent": Active ingredients Essential oil/Terpines: Dyes, flavoring, and fragrances Is this somewhat along the lines of what you're describing?

[@BrittanyTishar]

@@darrenro2 I'm not a professional but from my limited understanding I think that would be considered more of a serum and no longer an "body oil" if that makes sense. Aloe vera isn't an anhydrous product. You would need an emulsifier if you want to combine oil and aloe very together.

[@trangbui8579]

I love niacinamide + zinc pca + HA serum. Can you show me how to do it? My skin loves zinc pca alot, and I find everywhere but no one does it ever

[@andrewstiling5855]

If you're looking for a bulk alternative for Vitamin E to save on costs, Tocopheryl Acetate (or Vitamin E Acetate) is a great bulk alternative. Tocopherol is another name for natural Vitamin E and Tocopheryl Acetate is a stabilized version (so not natural unfortunately) that has longer lasting antioxidants. Also using a combo of both is a great way to enhance Vitamin E efficacy.

Watching and supporting while lathering in mango shea butter. Periodddd, Tara.

[@TaraLeee]

I love it!!!! 😄 Thanks for watching and supporting!

[@DDominoGeronimo]

@@TaraLeee ofc loveeee

Check out my ig for shea butter, texture is like whipped cream and glides SMOOTH. Ig @mrsperfectco

[@KYESHAKNOWSSKIN]

That's the best way to apply oil to your skin Tara! While its still damp, it penetrates into the skin and locks the moisture in when you apply it on damp skin, you reap the benefits better that way, your applying the oils the best way hon😍😍

[@TaraLeee]

YAY! That's good to know. Thanks for sharing this with me. That must be why I love using it in the shower then. 😄

[@KYESHAKNOWSSKIN]

@@TaraLeee yes ma'am! Alot of ppl don't know about that trick! Alot of celebrities apply baby oil in the shower, that's their inexpensive secret to glowing skin😉

[@KYESHAKNOWSSKIN]

@@mrsperfectco6981 you apply oil to your skin while its damp honey. Use a drying off baby towel to slightly dry your skin, baby towels are gentle on the skin l always recommend them. Don't dry off your skin all the way, just slightly pat your skin to where its still damp, and the. Apply your oil to your skin. This will allow the oil to penetrate into the skin. Then you can use your cream or lotion of you would like.

[@kellsgreenidge8885]

I refer to my oils as Basic Carrier Oils (Fractionated Coconut, Sunflower, Avocado, Grapeseed etc), then I have my Specialty Oils (Rosehip Oil, Amla Oil, Neem Oil, etc). Thanks for sharing this video.

I am loving this because it is really helping, however, some of the videos linked are no longer available

[@8crimesreais]

Hi Tara, I love your videos! I would like just to ask you if you would mind to write on the video the specific words you use to name products, oils, tools, etc... It is difficult for me to understand since I am not familiar with the words. Thank you! Your videos are very helpful!

[@terihiggins263]

No the spot!! Thanks for the info!✌💜

[@kajolgolchha1326]

I already saw this video a lot and finally made some body oils and really loved it but wanted to do 2advanced version I was made my body oil for my grandparents they loved it and for myself but now I'm having an idea 💡 do more research start slowly once again and do a body oil for myself and matching to my Soap like a combo ❤️. Thank you sister 🥰😘❤️💯🫂

Tara pls I didn’t get the pronunciations for the eco friendly ingredients to make body butters less sticky. Also how much will it cost to join your patron account? Thanks for everything, you’re such an amazing person 💓❤️💓

[@triciachimming5]

very informative video! I'm really learning alot from this series. Question, what about actives that are in a base of caprylic capric tryglycerides, can you add that to body oils? because CCT is oil soluble and added to the oil phase in formulas right?

[@HarlemRose102]

Hello TaraLee I love your videos and your explanation. The thing I’m searching for is a thickener to make the consistency thicker of the face or beard oil and still keep the hair shiny and skin moisturized. What are your suggestions? Thank you ❤️

[@GenesisArielW]

Can you do a video about certain fragrances that’s good for the skin?

[@23ieshia]

Very Informative!! Can't get ANY easier than this Tara!!! Great job woman!!

[@MrsKatHargrove]

Hi I am a beginner of making hair and body oils. I was so confused rather it was mandatory to add a preservative or not lol. This was very helpful. Thank you so much for breaking every down just subscribed!!❤️

[@pop-punkreptile5827]

if your formula uses water it needs a preservative to prevent mold but if theres no water it should be from what i understand

[@JustAshleyDanielle]

Hey Tara thank you for all the valuable tutorials and tips. Can you make a video about how taxes work in a sole proprietorship how do you file separately from the business or do you file as one unit? And also do you have to make quarterly payments etc thank you!

[@janladyjflowers130]

Hi, would you suggest using a silicone in a scalp and hair oil? And if you use a preservative would that increase shelf life even though an ingredient already has a shelf life , for example if something had a shelf life of 6months would using a preservative increase the shelf life? Thank you

[@angeljasmr2200]

Thank you so much! 😊

What do you think about avocado oil being a primary oil? Grapeseed, or apricot?

Hello ...where can I buy the Natrasil, the IPM, capri Tryglcerides and the blueberry seed oil

[@ayeshaskincaremakeup]

hi, you are amazing. Can you please guide me if phenonip preservative has an expiry date of 2 months to use this preservative in a product then after using within this 2 months before expiry what is our product shelf life eg: Making clay mask water-based product.

[@KristieWithaK80]

Where do you buy your coco-caprylate? I’ve been trying to find it in the US

[@hliew0]

Hi Tara, I’ve got some IPM in powder. How do I add them into my formulating as I’ve seen that most people uses the liquid ones. Thank you!

Hemp seed, primary oil, nailed it :P

[@dr.j9201]

Neem oil stinks! Yes :) Wonderful vlog Tara. Love all your stuff. You go girl! I love your videos and recipes and I use them so thank you so much! Oh...at some point can you do a vlog on working with beneficial yet stinky oils like neem? Also, I prefer using unprocessed shea (love it) but it can limit what scents I use with it at times. Maybe tips on working with unprocessed products?

Can you add butters? What percent would you recommend?

[@parysstandifer5318]

Hello I make body oil with glitter or pigment powder, whay preservative should I use so it doesn't separate the glitter or pigment

[@rickydhaliwal2791]

Hey Tara, Love all your videos! I’m new to formulating lotions and was wondering if you can put my confusion at rest. I’m having a hard time figuring out which of these ingredients belong in the water phase or cool down phase - Squalane, Vitamin E D-Alpha, Panthenol Pro-Vitamin B5 Liquid, and Silk Amino Acids. Hope to hear back soon. Ricky

[@KristieWithaK80]

I know vitamin E and pro vit B5 are ingredients that will basically evaporate if you add them in the oil or water phase especially when they are hot. You want to heat your oils and waters, then combine them. While they are cooling you add the vit E/ B5 so they don’t evaporate out of the formula. I forget what temperature you can start to add them, but if you go to your supplier website they should tell you an approximate temperature

[@GlitteryNailz]

What would be better or more fragrant to use..essential oils or fragrances?

[@n0limitgoddess431]

any place to purchase the pump bottles?

[@continuousself-improvement1879]

When you mention the chemical ingredients like dimethicone etc, please have the word written on the screen so we know what to search for in online chemical supply shops.

Can silicone be used in hair oils

[@bonitami_amor56]

I've been trying to search for these bottles containers and it has proven futile. Do you mind sharing where you got these bottles?

[@PeacefulPauseChannel64]

How do you come up with your percentages? Is it by ounces of container? I’m just trying to figure out how to get the calculations correctly. Thank you for your videos

[@NeonSun28]

same! hoping to come across the answer in the comments🙂

[@biancawalker6283]

I've read in a few articles that vitamin e clogs pores. If I use it at .5 percent with other oils will it still clog pores ?

[@Kidopya]

In the series you say these videos are for beginners. Are the formulas different for advanced body oils?

[@shellarain]

Do you have a suggested formula for using 3 oils? Primary, secondary, and 3rd oil.
