[@trishameloling2367]

TaraLee I’m still confused how you weigh them and know how much oil to put in whatever product your making I make my own products but not like this! I’m not good at math at all either!

[@trishameloling2367]

TaraLee is there a book?

[@SASCaesar]

Your content is SIMPLY phenomenal!! I have learned sooo much from you (more than any other content I’ve watched to date) that I must express my sincere gratitude bc you share your ‘trade secrets’ so freely...this percentage thingy had me stumped but you cleared up the confusion in under 10 mins, wow🤩. I joined your Patreon just from watching a few videos, i.e. before I went down the Tara Lee binge-all-day rabbit hole, lolol, and I couldn’t be happier that I did!

[@CayceAnne]

Thanks for another helpful video :)

[@beingmuvaj]

I love your content!!!! SOOO informative and easy to understand. My only question is, when making a product no matter what it is (lotion, soap, face moisturizer etc) is this 3 step phase going to be used each time to ensure the formulation equals 100%? or Do the phases vary depending on the product? I hope this makes sense..

[@patriciaanna5512]

thank youuu!

[@moriahbethel]

thank you so much!

[@hopeleary864]

I’m glad i stumbled across this video I’ve been making everything so much harder 😂 thank you some much for explaining it clearly ❤

[@ninahart7879]

Hello I’m just watching this, so when you’re trying to formulate in percentages do you just play around with the numbers till you get the perfect formulation? How do you know you need 47% of water for the formulation?

[@esthernsona9641]

Thank you 😍😍😍🥰

[@rayleneray1185]

Thank you.

[@MimisToyCorner]

[@queenmkize755]

Tara, Imm in South Africa, Took a Cosmetic Formulation course, but cosmetic formula percentages has been a struggle, thank you so much. Not i understand better

[@suekwisses3853]

thank you

[@soniyajhan9875]

I LOVEDDDD your video it was so informative just what I needed. I'm a new subscriber! but have 2 questions, so how you know how much percentage of each product you should use to get a more accurate result? (like for the primer you used 47% of water, 3% glycerin, and so on...). also, I remember you said your percentage as a whole should be 100%, not less or more so where di you get the 230 from?

[@SoulfulSoundSelection]

Hey Tara love your videos I just need some assistance when it comes to figuring out how large of a batch in g I need to make how did you decided that did you total up the amount of bottles (oz) * the amount of bottles using. (Ex: 3 bottles * (4oz) = 12oz then convert that into (g) ?

[@MsDj8888]

I find it easier to know that there are 28.35 grams in an ounce. If I want to make 6 oz. toner (for example) I would multiply 6 x 28.35=170.1 grams and then use your table conversion for percentages.

[@Mr23pallavitiwari]

Great video

[@bodycarebydenise4017]

Thank you for this! Question: how do you calculate ounces to percentages?

[@JaJa123_]

what if you had to make a 1,000 products of either recipe and its a 12oz fl bottle how do you go about trying to see how much you need to make right on? I love your channel it is very helpful.

[@maricrisr.]

You are so smart!

[@RowanOHagan]

ur videos are always so interesting oml

[@TaraLeee]

I'm glad you find them interesting :)

[@RachelNielsen]

you’re gorgeous & smart & talented!!! love u!! ❤️

[@starryblovell4478]

THANK YOU! You just made what I thought of as a foreign language, So Very Easy! Nothing Mysterious or Top Secret - I could Literally hear the 'Click' in my brain as understanding Why what I was looking at had the Numbers for Ingredients & How those Numbers were arrived at! Thank you so much! (What a Relief, I Don't have to be a Mathematician or Chemist to be a DIYer!)

[@ZackyChaniago]

Good calculating.👍👍👍👍

[@GlamorGrowthTravelwithMica]

Like 50. Very informative video. I did not even think about these formulas. Thank you.

[@Erika-tt4gh]

Can I use this same formula calculation for bigger batches for ML as well? Thank you so much!

[@dmcalignments8385]

Thank you soo much for this!! 🙏👍 I'm very stuck with licensing my Arnica, St.Johns Wort and Calendula body lotions, because Health CA likes to know the potency of each ingredient from 1%-100% in the formula. its very hard to tell the potency of the Herbal extracts, because sometimes they have to be topped up, shaked and burped. Do you have more information about the licensing prosess and if there is a pdf e-book, or presentation available? how do you do the licensing prosess for each formula? thank you so much for all your videos!! 🤗🤗🥰🌻💐🌺🌹

[@josephineloro4297]

hey girl hope you're doing well, love your content. just a quick question....I remember you saying to make always make sure your percentages add up to 100% which equals 100grams. When and why would you ever need to make a 230gram skin recipe? or was that just for example sake

[@JorgeLopez-lw1ls]

hello, i was wondering is the same way we convert the preservative foe example optiphen says the usage rate is 0.75 to 1.5% and when i calculate the 1% of 400 is 4 but i dont know if i cant never exceed the 1.5% the usage rate says. or i have add the same 1.5% of optiphen to an 400grams recipe? (because im making 400 grams of my product so im converting my original 100% recipe to 400grams how you show in the video) i hope you can understand and help me clear up my confusion. Thanks for all these amazing videos, Tara!

[@meenokamran568]

I want to make a lavender night cream with the min possible emulsifiers and preservatives. Can u plz share a recipe tht doesn't have too many emulsifying agents and very few preservatives. I m a beginner with no experience but u inspire me and things look easy with u.... Plz ur reply would mean a lot

[@micheleorrico1818]

What is the ratio of essential oils (using 4 different EO) to carrier oil for a face serum of 50ml? And the Vit E ratio?

[@franklybeautiful8972]

Can you do this with making bar soap as well?

[@malalunaturalcosmetic5373]

Maby i didn understand, but how you know in start how much destil water do you need, or anything else, in some product there is not saying how much in procente can you use in some product. Is there any aplication or calculator for cosmetic, something like calc soap.? I am a bit confuse about that.

[@ajnira6247]

Can u make how to make waterproof black and blue gel eyeliner and masskara.

[@PrettyCourtt]

I’m trying to create a formula for a rose water toner. How to I start with knowing what percentage I need for each ingredient?

[@liah123456]

Tara please help!!! I have a cap 2 preservative to put in my lip gloss that’s oil based and it says put 0.8-1% in the cool down phase . I dont understand how to convert the % and to put the right amount in each batch I make. Can you please help me I have a scale & I added the preservative but it was too much and irritated the hell out of my skin so I’m scared to add it again but it helps the life of my products. I did watch your video but I still don’t understand

[@remiboston-siponen2970]

Wow!!!

[@trulyericka]

Hello, I have a scale and I’m not sure what’s wrong but it’s giving me whole numbers when I weigh things. I’m confused! When I see yours is usually decimals... an you suggest a scale

[@lcwisdom1]

Thank you more simpler than anybody else explains it but how do I come up with the recipe to know how much 49% is or what is 3% of a recipe?How would I come up with a recipe and and know how much percentage it is? I don't know if I'm making sense or not but if you could help me please to understand. Thanks so much appreciate it.😊

[@wellyaknow7698]

Helllo Tara! You rock! Quick question...are you saying keep the formula at 100% no matter how big your batch and just calculate how big the batch desired grama times the percentage you developed?
