Hey person scrolling through the comments. This chick is awesome and has a million great videos that will make you a better mixologist.

[@TaraLeee]

you are the sweetest!

[@luuumps]

chia* seed oil is awesome and can be used for sensitive skin as well because of the high omega-3 content which has antiinflammatory benefits. To balance oil-production, apple seed oil and amaranth seed oil are also great options. Rosehip oil has also been said to aid with balancing oily skin because of its vitamin A content. Broccoli seed oil has a "dry oil" feel to it and it's often used in hair products to give that silicone finish and feel. It's a great addition to body oils and facial oils if you want to lessen the greasy touch. For brightening, any oil derived from fruit seeds are helpful, especially papaya, guava, apple, raspberry, cranberry, etc.

I have been watching your videos for the bast two days. I am a pharmacist and I am so pleasant that I am actually revising all the information we had in "industrial pharmacy" and "pharmaceutics" moduals about topical formulations with you ... your information are absolutely correct and you are presenting them in a very simple and easy to remember way ... I wish I discovered you earlier when i was at uni ... but any way i wish you all the best

Fractionated Coconut oil are the distillation of Coconut oil where medium fatty acids chains are separated out collected. The 2 main fatty acid chains are Caprylic acid and Capric acid but you'll likely get some other types of fatty acids in there as well. Capric/Caprylic Triglyceride is a specialized esterification of just Capric acid and Caprylic Acid. Simplied answer is Fractionated Coconut Oil contains Caprylic and Capric acids along with other fatty acids but CCT contains ONLY the esters of Capric and Caprylic Acids.

[@ellielynn8219]

Idk if you’re still checking comments here but my Fractionated Coconut oil by SR Naturals, the only ingredient is “Organic Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil.” Thanks for these videos! They’re helping clear up some major confusion I was having.

[@44DHernandez]

If you like actives, you can add oil soluable vitamin C, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate. It's expensive, but appears to have better penetration and is less irritating than water soluable L-ascorbic acid.

[@TaraLeee]

I didn’t know there was an oil soluble vitamin c! Thanks for sharing that with me 😊

[@empressaura7736]

Can i use Euxyl PE 9010 preservative in my facial oil if im adding essential oil in my facial oil? Im not sure.

[@44DHernandez]

@@empressaura7736 Not sure if you're asking me or Tara... but I'm personally not familiar with that preservative. However, two things to note: it is generally discouraged to put essential oils on your face as they can be very sensitizing and irritating to the skin on your face (especially citrus which can increase the chances of sunburn); and if your product has no water in it, there is no need for a preservative as oil is not prone to growing mold and bacteria. It is, however, prone to rancidity, so adding vitamin E (an antioxidant) can extend the life of your oil.

[@empressaura7736]

Hi tara. U r an inspiration. Luv u and ur work. Could u plz guide a little about mulberry leaf powder. I want to add them in my powdered mask for whitening. Plz plz guide me in this regard

[@83bd7gk]

Hey Tara, I've read on a suppliers website that the Caprylic Capric TriGlycerides are not the same as fractionated coconut oil. The ester has gone through a further process than the vegetable oil which removes some of the fatty acids, and gives it a different feel. I'm keen to buy some and try out in my formulas

[@4everblessed.grateful]

Plant Therapy has a Fractionated Coconut Oil. I agree the 2 are different

[@kajolgolchha1326]

Going to do definitely I have inspired by your bakuchiol you have made recently a cream I want to make facial oil using it

[@thechemistrygeek8818]

great video. just wanted to chime in and say carrot oil is th orange one made from soaking carrot roots and carrot seed oil is the essential oil from carrot seeds.E oil is way more potent and expensive

[@chelseyummali]

Great video girly!

[@Oliveshoney]

Good informative video, Love Facial oils 👍🥰

[@zachymilly8290]

To answer the question, if the facial oil is completely anhydrous and not a water-in-oil emulsion, preservatives are not needed. Micro-organisms need water to grow, and can’t survive in a completely anhydrous product, BUT if the facial oil contains a lot of natural plant oils, then they will definitely need an antioxidant to keep them from going rancid.

[@TaraLeee]

Thanks so much!

[@zachymilly8290]

@@TaraLeee Of course! ☺️ Another thing to consider is that mixed tocopherols are the best antioxidants because they protect the formula from oxidation and don’t add fragrance, whereas tocopherol acetate only protects the skin from oxidative free radicals. Resinous rosemary extract will also protect the formula from oxidation, but it has a very strong rosemary aroma that may be unwanted.

[@bellaann518]

Nice. I need nut free oil. I use coconut oil, vitamin e oil and lavender essential oils. I would love to add hemp and a few other oils. Not a fan of the soy oil

[@Itsactuallysorrel]

hey Tara! im curious about tanning oil, as in what oils and why they are beneficial or not to the skin and to of course giving the skin a tan, now now this of course is just a tanning oil, no SPF protection. im just interested in types of oils and a possible formulation for a simple tanning oil. I have been binging your formulating and other self made products videos and I have been able to find anything on tanning oils other than tiktok hacks and 'at-home' versions of name brand that....arn't great lmao anyways if youd be willing to make a video about that i sure would apricate it xo

[@AmiaP91]

hi Tara! Im new to your channel. do you have a video on using squalane?

[@naveenahmad4965]

I love your videos!!!! Could you go over the difference between a body butter and a face cream?

[@PlumCrazyHomesteader]

Essentially, a face cream is a water and oil emulsion (approx. 10-25% oils) with particular care given to the comedigenic rating of the oils (0-2 is good, 3-5 causes acne breakouts). A body butter is often anhydrous (100% oils/no water) or might also be an emulsion (approx. 40%+ oils) with a much higher oil content than a face cream and can use a wider variety of oils (often cheaper, too) than for the face.

[@alanricketts9660]

The fractionated coconut oil I have is cocoa nucifera

[@PrimalPathWellness]

The only other additive I add to my facial oils is Teprenone from Making Cosmetics, it is oil soluble which most of their anti aging ingredients are not, so I use their water soluble ones in my creams in water phase.

[@aamihome]

I wanted to use potassium sorbate as a natural preservative but upon research, I have found mixed reviews. Most say it is safe and natural while some say it is chemically made. Do you have any insights about this preservative? Thank you in advance

[@keyamehta7638]

Hey Tara ! Thank you for making such informative videos. I have one genuine question. It would be great if you could answer it. Are silicones bad for our skin and do they clog our pores ? I have tried researching about this numerous times but every article has something different to say. I'm very confused.

Is there a book you suggest for the properties of oils?

[@user-cc4kp1cc2u]

love this vid! Question tho! wouldn't silicone products require a preservative?

[@TaraLeee]

I don't think so. As long as it is oil soluble and you are only using oil soluble ingredients in your product it shouldn't need preserved. You only need to preserve products that contain water or may get water in them.

Can you please make a video on Magnesium body butter😃 using no magnesium oil and using magnesium flakes mixed with water and how to preserve it when the oil and water phase comes together with magnesium flakes.

[@Socal420]

Magnesium flakes and water actually is magnesium oil. Oil is a misnomer for the product and I’m not sure why they call it that. You can add it to creams and lotions and add emulsifying wax also and it will mix in. You will have to use a preservative though! For body butter, you’d have to add the magnesium in super small amounts, but I’m not sure if you’d need emulsifying wax, you will need the preservative here though as well. If you made the mixture thick enough it should hold up. Good luck! (I own a CBD edibles and health and beauty company and make a ton of products like that, I didn’t want you to think I just pulled that out of thin air lol)
