How to make 10% Niacinamide Face Serum

[@desidobreva3293]

Hi, Tara! Congratulations on the amazing content! I would like to add up with something important regarding pH when formulating with niacinamide. The optimum solution stability is at a pH 6. Otherwise, It will hydrolyze and form nicotinic acid at higher or lower pH, which still has some vitamin B3 activity but can result in skin irritation. Greetings from Germany.

[@TaraLeee]

Hey Desi, yup I am aware of this. Thanks for mentioning it. I should have highlighted on that in the video :)

[@jadebergamini3981]

I was wondering the same thing

[@fedhughes1966]

would like to know abt the PH6 you mentioned, does it mean i have to make sure the mixure is ph6? thanks

@@TaraLeee Hi Tara - great video - thank you. How do I measure the ph of the mixture?

[@HelloGoodbye2067]

I’m amazed. I first came across your video on sterilizing and disinfecting. When you said you made homemade” skincare products, I immediately thought you were talking about doing “Pinterest Bella Thorne” type of products, but after viewing your other videos, that wasn’t the case. You know your chemistry and I love that you provide that information in your videos. I’m currently majoring in biotechnology and watching all of this makes me want to go into manufacturing❤️

I just started using niacinamide serum recently and I can already see the results! This is definitely a miracle worker! thank you so much for sharing , TaraLee! Always informative and great content! Have a beautiful weekend! ❤

Go for organic expeller pressed vegetable glycerin, if you can find it. Vegetable based oils are processed with heavy chemicals like hexane to extract the oils from the plants.

The best serum formulating tutorial over the internet... Very clear explanation.. Thank you ❤ ..... Incase I want to add zinc 1% which zinc do I use?

[@nhungtrinh8296]

I have the same question like u. Would love to add zinc in the fomulation.

[@dokter4li]

i already add zinc oxide 1% and make it white like a milk?? how to make it clear??

That would be zinc pca.

thank you for making these videos; your the only one that actually takes your time, and gives detail information on making these products. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! YOU ARE APPRECIATED & INSPIRING.

[@elisabethdavid3926]

Wow! I love how simple and informative your videos are. I've been looking for skin care for my preteen girls and couldn't find anything I considered safe, so I decided to make it myself and your videos have really helped. Guess what I'm binge watching this weekend😉

[@MileyPit]

Hey Tara, thank you for this 🫶🏾. I never thought of making my powder into a serum. I was just thinking of mixing it into lotions, but I think this might be much easier 🤗

[@LillieVibes]

If I can only get all this ingredients and measurements i would definitely do it. Just love your videos gal keep up the good job

[@faithdairo917]

Hi Tara, can I please ask why you didn’t check the pH of the finished product?

[@mirafawn1019]

Yay I've been waiting for this video ❤! And it was was worth the wait. Perfection. I can't wait to make this.

[@TaraLeee]

So glad you enjoyed!!! 💗

[@veronica7322]

​@@TaraLeee Just came across this video and it's brilliant, professional and explained very well. Am definitely going to make this. I have just 2 questions if I may: - How long does this serum last, and how can you tell when it's going off? - Can I leave out the "calendula extract", and if I do, what should I replace it with, more distilled water to make up for the shortfall of that 2%?

[@sng7584]

[@my5minjournal]

Can we use any natural gum like acacia or xanthum gum instead of hyaluronic acid for thickening

[@zeenathayatkhan2191]

Maybe no... because hyaluronic acid helps in brightening

[@michaelinelegant1289]

@@zeenathayatkhan2191 Yeah but they asked about thickening agents, specifically

[@brz_nuts]

Ohh, HA doesn’t help with brightening. Is overrated, in my opinion. It can help, depending very much of its molecular weight, environmental humidity and whether you use other acids in your skin care routine, to only hydrate your skin. But often times it doesn’t add any benefit to the recipe other than thickening, very lightly, the texture. Xanthan gum would do the job pretty well here I believe. ❤️

[@btsimagine8186]

Yes, I am allergic to hyaluronic acid. And nowadays all products comes with that ingredient. I can't use any of them. I need serum without hyaluronic acid...

[@thewayne6403]

Yes, you can use gaur gum, xanthan gum.

[@suhanisharma4094]

I am definitely going to try this serum out.. It's really beneficial for skin..

Tara, please could you do a video on how to make a 5% niacinamide toner that is completely fragrance-free? I have yet to find one that I like.

[@TaraLeee]

I did do the lemon & aloe toner with 5% niacinamide. here is the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGiQdKOul8qAm9k you can leave out the lemon hydrosol so it has no scent. also make sure your product is balanced to a ph of 6 when using niacinamide.
