Hello Tara, this was a lovely recipe! I made it with just a few minor substations based on what I had/wanted like subbing the witch hazel extract for .5% allantoin and an extra 1.5% niacinamide since my main goals were hyperpigmentation/cell turnover more so than oil control (I find just niacinamide to do a decent job with a great face washing regimen underneath). And I wasn’t ready to buy new ingredients yet, so I used jojoba oil in place of the squareness, and siligel instead of gel maker NAT. Even still, the texture and moisture of this formula was amazing! Gelled up beautifully after a minute or two of mixing and glided across my skin like butter before soaking right in. This is definitely an amazing base recipe and I’m excited to play around with the actives and make some personalized moisturizers for friends and family. I’ll be sure to check out your other formulations because I’m so pleased with this one!

Hey Tara! You've inspired me to start formulating and I have so many questions😭 but first I would like to know about different emulsifiers and what each one does, how it affects final product etc. Why did you choose Gel NAT rather than Cetearyl Alcohol?

You should watch her formulating series. It teaches a wholeeeeee lot and then u can ask her your questions

Cetearyl Alcohol isn't an emulsifier on its own. Generally used as a thickener/stabilizer

Cetearyl ahcohal is oil soluble when the fell maker is water soluble

Hi Tara, can I use niacinamide powder in melt and pour soap making and also in CP soap making?

[@juamiglio]

I am not as experienced a formulator as Tara and some others but I don't think Niacinamide would be nearly as effective in a rinse off product. Also there might be some PH issues in formulating it in soap. There are just much better ways to use it, I just would not use it in a soap IMO

[@gorgetteadelaide7058]

Would like to know how to determine the measurement of the citric acid to lower the ph of the product? In order to avoid lowering too much the ph

[@TaraLeee]

you want to dilute 50% citric acid in 50% distilled water. Then from there you only want to add a couple drops at a time into your product. With experience it will come much easier
