Gel creams!! Yes!! And if you could go into a bit more detail about Aristroflex? And the other non-natural polymers that would be awesome 🥰

[@TaraLeee]

i’ll probably talk more about it in the gel cream videos 😁

[@tracystones-mm1jj]

Yes please, gel cream video would be awesome! I have both carbomer & Sepimax Zen and not sure how to make anything with them. Thanks for this informative series! ❤

[@Cae7890]

I absolutely love formulating with Sepimax zen it make beautiful clear gels. I definitely chose working with sepimax zen Over carbomer seen how carbomer needs a little bit of extra work just to become stable and I wasn't with the extra steps LOL where sepimax zen doesn't require anything just put it in you water or hydrosol and let it hydrate and boom done.

[@goldheartxx]

I've been formulating for about a year and a half but still watch and love the basic series. Could you do a video on consistencies/textures of the different types of polymers/gelling agents such as aristoflex, guargum, sepimax, HEC, etc?

[@shadevrutaal]

I have this issue with montanov 68 when i make a bigger batch🤷🏽‍♀️… soo will definitely experiment with co emulsifiers.

[@TaraLeee]

Hi! I used to use your "Hello" and "Jade" moisturizers.... Do you have any recommendations for any good brands that use the same products you did??

[@user-ok4gl5dr4r]

Hi lovely tara , I have a question: can I formulate the scoopable scrub with an oily coffee macerate instead of sunflower oil in the oily phase or rose essential oil diffused in a carrier oil?

[@user-lc6zv9ds4q]

Please gel creams would be amazing!

[@user-kz4sr5qj4d]

Please make a video of gel cream,lotion,serum,oil

[@gloryndeche3694]

Gel cream please

[@fareloz]

I wouldn't say that mentioned polymers emulsify oils. They disperse oil on thick water gel, but definitely don't emulsify (they don't have oil-loving part of an emulsifier nolecule). The only polymer that emulsifies and I know it is lecigel, and only because the molecule of polymer is tied with lecithin (actual emulsifier)

[@TaraLeee]

i’m aware that polymers thicken water and don’t emulsify. i said SOME polymers can help emulsify and some can’t. i named examples of polymers that emulsify and ones that dont. i didn’t make this up. i just read the formulating guidelines to some polymers. sepimax zen and sepinov EMT 10 sold on lotioncrafter both say they emulsify oils. i’ve also used them to make cream gels and used sepimax zen as the main emulsifier. i’ve shared formulas like this.

[@xelykoyax2997]

Oleo-Gel pls🎉

[@sonysalh7175]

Gel cream yes plz!!! ❤

[@TaraLeee]

i’ll definitely start working on the video 😁

[@Valiant.Unicorn]

Have you noticed if adding too many ingredients in the cool down phase affects anything?

[@cindyjohnson-cf4be]

Can you tell me what you mean when you say .1-.5% like when you all germall plus please? ❤

[@nouralhasham3738]

[@xxxRabbitxxx]

@@TaraLeee yeah and if i can im sure to be a patreon immediately!! ❤️

[@formulationchemistnirob392]

I like your video. I am a cosmetics R and D expert.

[@BukolaOriola]

I had to use stearic acid and cetyl alcohol to keep heliosoft stable. And I really liked the outcome but Lotioncrafter stopped carrying heliosoft.

[@natyc81]

😮 It looks like yummy cheese 🧀 😂😂 ... i love the bubble bath bar i can buy the recipe ( questions do you used baking soda) 🤔❤Thanks For Your help Tara God Bless you

[@TaraLeee]

[@omolemotshipamba4649]

[@nickivlachou3117]

Hello, where did you learn all this? Did you study with Formula Botanica or any other fomulation school?

[@TaraLeee]

no. i learned a lot of the basics about formulating from this blog here www.swiftcraftymonkey.blog/ then from there, i’ve been self taught

[@Zeynpern]

There are only 15 languages ​​available as subtitles. But there is no Turkish. That's why I watch your videos without understanding them. Please please have subtitle option

[@jahongirmasharipov9751]
