Awesome. You are practically my mentor for running my business or at least trying to make it. It’s really hard when the business you want to pursue demands you to start from scratch. The recipes, the branding, the marketing rather than just purchasing wholesale and reselling and item. It definitely does take time but I just want to thank you for helping people like me with this field.

Hi Tara, i just love ur video's. I'm new to ur channel and it had giving me so much confident to start my cosmetic line. U see I'm so much into skincare and haircare. I took it als a hobby but now it gives me the chance to learn more about my own skin and hair. I have a dark skin complextion and suffering from an adult acne. Right from my teen years i sufferd ance and never really learend how to take care of my skin. They are so many products in the market and is very hard to see a product that can help with all my concerns (ance, hyperpigmentation, uneven skintone, dark and brouw marks...). 4 years ago i began to show more interesse into skincare (I experiment with different products, i invested my time in learning the ingrediënten on the inci list) I so much love doing it, so much that friends and family ask for my option on products. I wanted to take the nast step but afraid. But seeing ur video's i gain more courage. Is either now or never. Now my question is this: is it possible to try out this formulier with Rose water, nacinimaid 2% and Ceramide? I don't like adding actives on my skin in the morning (UV) I like using actives in the evening. I will be so much looking forward for your reply. Thanks in advance Tara.

[@denisemarie6131]

Take care, Tara. I hope you feel all better soon.

You are literally a real life witch or something, don't get me wrong. It's so fascinating to see you mixing up some powders and actually making a real cosmetic, so cool.

[@MrsCollVani]

Excellent stuff!!!!!

[@mandyhufkie6515]

Hi Tara. Is it possible to increase the lightning ingredients rather than having a larger percentage of niacinamide. What I am trying to ask is can we make the product stronger by using more alpha arbuten instead. Thanks for this video.

[@waynegross2113]

Tara, you sound so rough! I hope you continue to feel better. I have a formulation within an ingredient that is the same, lol! Great minds think alike! I have been working with skin brightening formulations for about 9 months to get great results. This should work excellent for you! I made one for myself, because as I've aged my skin tone has become very uneven. Ahhh, those 50's, they catch you! I also made a brightening mask to boost my success and it has worked well, it's a jelly mask, I think you'd like it. Jill

[@travay6328]

hello can you please let me know if this formulation worked?

Could you maybe do a video about an azelaic acid cream/serum?

[@oguntonaprecious7007]

Hi Tara Lee... I absolutely love your formulations!!! I have a question though concerning this formulation, I tried it, and I notice after a couple days, my formulation changes color, it gets brownish, although I added hyaluronic acid, aloe Vera gel and rose water in mine, is that okay?

[@lavenderwilliams1147]

Hi Tara! I was under the impression that to measure the ph of a cream like substance one should make a 10 percentage dilution as to not damage the ph meters glass probe. im just wondering if your ph meters design allows for you to be able to stick it directly into the cream or how you go about cleaning the ph meter after sticking it into the cream. Thank you

[@buichau4599]

I bought one like her and you can stick it directly into the cream for pH measurement. You can watch her other video which specifically mentions how to use this pH meter.
