How to Make Shimmer Body Oil for Light, Medium & Dark Skin Tones

[@shllewis9]

Can you add some kind of essential or fragrance oils with these

[@TaraLeee]

Yup! Just add 1% during the cool down phase.

[@iamnatashamonique255]

Girl!!!!! You did a great job with the darker tones. I can't wait to try this!

[@TaraLeee]

I’m so glad you think so 🥰

[@positivequeenonpurpose]

I agree!💯💯💯

[@fayanisxm4739]

THE VERY BEST body shimmer I have seen so far, I have been experimenting with so many formulas and just couldn't find one that keep my micas suspended! thank you for this

[@TaraLeee]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed 🥰

[@Ikkey73]

You did an amazing job! Thank you for demo three different shade and being inclusive.

[@TaraLeee]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed 😊

[@victorwright5174]

You did fantastic!!! Thank you for this. ESPECIALLY the medium and darker skin toned shimmer oils. You really did an amazing job. Now what I found that helps the mica suspend a lot is polyamide 3. (This actually came from humblebee & me). It’s easy to work with, you just have to also melt it down and go from there. But it’s always great to check out what they next creator is doing as well cause you never know. Again, you did a wonderful job with this and I truly appreciate you. ❤️

[@TaraLeee]

Yes! I recently heard polyamide 3 works as well. I also heard polyamide 8 is easier to use than polyamide 3, but I haven’t tried polyamide 8 myself yet so I can’t say for sure with out trying it myself.

[@victorwright5174]

@@TaraLeee SEE! I didn’t even know there was an 8. I’m going to look for that one and try it also. Keep on rocking sister. You put your vision into on display and it works. 😉

I Love that you share your recipe videos with the rest of us! Thank you ❤

[@TaraLeee]

So glad you enjoy my recipes 🥰

[@seenamoon5804]

Thank you for the inclusivity of different skin tones. These shimmers are beautiful. Do you think a shimmering body butter could work?

[@TaraLeee]

Ooooh yes, that is a good idea! I’ll add it to my list

[@andromeda1903]

butters tend to dampen the shimmer effect of micas, so the product would be less shimmery.

[@seenamoon5804]

@@andromeda1903 Thanks for the tip! That makes sense 😅

[@seenamoon5804]

@@TaraLeeeDoes it transfer excessively?

[@bubbles_addiction2660]

This is absolutely amazing I was looking so long to get a formula that would keep my mica perfectly blended and not just sitting in the bottom! Well done I love it! One question though, I cannot find and buy any oliwax lc in my country, what kind of substitution can I use? Thank you and keep up with the good job 👍🤗❤️

[@bubbles_addiction2660]

Hope that you can see my post cause got no reaction or response back 🙄 Are there any settings I must do...??? 🤔

[@quaydavis2032]

Yayyy you’re back. Love this video and the fact that you provided 3 alternatives is awesome. Thanks Tara! From AZ💕

[@Ladytiqua90]

Thank you for including the chocolate folks in your creation process!

[@chezsylvie007]

I liked the medium one on your skin and it gave you a tan shimmer

[@JustinMayez85]

[@yourbby_tina6147]

for the color bottles you could do some type of hydrating or fragrance oils that go with color like purple for sumn lavender or calming and pink for rose

[@poocandi]

I will be trying this! Great job!!

[@TaraLeee]

Hope you love it 😊

[@goddess923]

Hi Tara. You mention trying different ingredients to help with suspension, did you try xanthan gum? Was it really bad? Thinking about using it as a replacement for oliwax since it's more readily available and more economical. Thank you in advance for your help and all the info you provide so generously.

[@kafilahola6281]

Great video as always, how long would they last? If you're making this as batch to sell what preservative could one add.Thanks hun.

[@createthebalance]

I can’t wait to try this!!

[@NaturalMackie]

Ooooh fancy! 😍 looks great!

[@nataliaroos1493]

Those are beautiful colors. Thank you for sharing your formula. I mixed one that looks like the dark one, and it looks beautiful on my medium skin tone. Do you ever add fragrance oil to yours?

You are the biggest blessing! 🤍🤍🤍 Thank you!

[@shelbysheppard]

When are you gonna open your Etsy store again? 😢 I wanna order so much!

[@anthazahcrowley4197]

Is the refrigerator keeping them from separating? Mine separates so I have to shake before use

[@Ashly304]

How do you feel about using Polyamide-3 instead of oliwax? Trying to figure out how to help with color transfer/rub off?

[@tinkaanddiamonds]

When you are formulating the recipes do you have to factor in the mica and fragrance oils to equal the 100%? That always confused me.

[@laziksayang1499]

Tara, you are amazing. Tara can you help me make a formula, my face has dark spots and is dull and sensitive and easy to irritate. I almost gave up on my face, I'm quite embarrassed by this problem because it reduces self-confidence. I hope you will help me.

[@kajolgolchha1326]

AMAZING WORK SISTER REALLY INSPIRING. CAN WE USE IT ON FACE?

[@FoxyNoir]

Hey, thank you so much for this video. Can't wait to try. Question: There's a way to make this Body Shimmer but like in a universal kind of tone? If light and dark tone people want to use the firts silver one it doesn't tint the skin?

Is there an alternative to the oliwax in this recipe? Can I use an emulsifying wax derived from olive oil? Thanks

hey Tara can you make this slightly more oily if needed?

How do you use to keep shimmer powder suspended in perfume and not sink to the bottom?

Hey there! instead of caprylic capric, may I use cyclopentasiloxane?!

[@nabzacarias9158]

do you think adding natrasil will make it more comfortable to use if I'm using natural oils?

[@suffak8]

Could I use behenyl alcohol or cetyl alcohol instead of oliwax? I have a lot of emulsifiers but oliwax is one of the few I don’t have. I have BTMS 25 & 50, emulsifying wax NF, amaranth phytomulse, stearic acid…would any of those be suitable?

[@TaraLeee]

I tried it with cetyl alcohol and is separated a lot more. I would do some testers with all the fatty acids, fatty alcohols and waxy emulsifier you have to see which performs best.

[@suffak8]

@@TaraLeee thank you! I’ll give it a shot!

What did you think was the best substitute?

What to use instead of oliwax lc ?

[@firdowskruger9896]

Tara, will hydroxyethyl cellulose work in place of Oliwax LC especially with regards to suspending the mica?

[@Rottimail]

Can you use this on the face? I was thinking about on the top of the cheekbones to make them look higher like Ariana Grande.

[@meshiatheceo1674]

Can you use a different emulsifier like polyamide-3 I heard that’s good because oil wax is sold out completely

[@jenheinze1]

Are the mica powders 10% of the formula?

Hello @taralee i wanted to purchase the medium body shimmer oil from your Etsy website but was unable to locate it... Are the shimmer oils available for sale?😊

[@andjelamoldovan8113]

Hello, I've been following your videos on youtube for a long time and they inspired me to start making my own products. I have a small beauty salon and I am from Serbia. I would like to start making my own products for salon use. The product that interests me the most, and I haven't seen it on your profile or youtube channel, is an algae mask that comes in powder and then right befor use its mixed with water and turns into a gelatinous mass during drying, I think it's called hydrogel mask in English. I was looking for a formula for those masks and I came across one, but I honestly don't know how to use it or transfer the measures to the weight, etc. If you have ever considered making such masks, know that there are those of us who are interested in learning from you. Thanks a lot for the reply and best regards.

[@aditimohanty42]

Hi!! Can I substitute Oliwax lc for something else ??

[@lalaitscherryxo1711]

Is CCT the same thing as fractionated coconut oil? When I look up the inci for FCO that's what it says.

[@ismeldapolanco4042]

hi i made this yesterday and the mica separated today? is that supposed to happen right away?? I am wondering if I did something wrong.

[@renatadorosario3706]

Hi!!! Question: caprylic capric triglyceride its the same as fractionad MTC oil? Thank you.

Hi! I did few research about MCT oil when trying to develop a perfume, and yes its the same as capruc triglyceride.

[@lifeofdyme4057]

If I use actual oil instead of the CCT do I have to adjust the amount of oliwax lc i use?

[@TaraLeee]

You may. I had another subscriber who said they used a blend of plant oils and it separated.

[@babypinkdiva01]

Can this be used on the face?

[@roshnidedhia1460]

What will be substitution for oil wax lc?

[@TaraLeee]

You can try a fatty acid, fatty alcohol or a waxy emulsifier, but oilwax LC produced the least amont of separation

Okies tysm as always Tara..will have to try bcoz in India oil wax is not available
