[@TaraLeee]

I'm so glad my contents been helpful😊

[@celebtingz1698]

Yayyy longer videos ! I definetly prefer videos 15 minutes plus.

[@TaraLeee]

that’s good to know 😁 i’m glad you like the longer ones, i’ll keep that in mind

[@CheekyLovesCheeseCake.]

Same! Went and grabbed me a snacky snack 😋

[@chande256]

Me too and I don't understand why people make short educational videos.Then you have to look for a more detailed one and start over. Some of us are proud nerds😂.we enjoy the math..

[@chelseaj2356]

Hooray! I’ve been formulating with BTMS 50 this week - it’s so luxurious feeling. Great timing!

[@TaraLeee]

it really is! 😊

[@user-fj9vx5df6r]

Thank you so much please can you make spray heats protector

[@CrystalAnnBrands]

I just recreated it! It has the perfect liquid consistency. I used warm brownie & hot fudge fragrance liquid germall plus in the place of optiphen. Also I used grapeseed oil as i did not have almond oil. My Grandson Jordan assisted me in this project. Awesome recipe Sis! Washed his coils and sprayed his hair. Plenty of slip and smells divine!

[@bolanleasala5928]

Thank you for sharing, I made the leave in spray with 2% BTMS, and it was a wrong move because it's not working with my spray bottle. I also made another but added hydrolyzed rice protein, and in place of Distilled Water, I used herbal tea, and it came out great. Thanks again for sharing.

BTMS 50 is great, I agree. In conditioners it is one of the BEST. However, alone as a sole emulsifier (cationic/ highly charged/ not as gentle as a nonionic) BTMS 50 has its limits. That is one reason chemists pair cationic surfactants (yes it is an emulsifier, but it is also a surfactant) with nonionic emulsifiers. They are generally only used in conditioning products for this reason. In a lotion, I personally find cationic emulsifiers have a heavy skin feel as compared to a lotion with anionic and non-ionic blends. Stabilizers are also helpful in emulsions and a slurry made with humectants such as glycerin and xanthan gum will improve stability. I have been making a few lotion formulations without these ingredients (gums or polymers) and am finding that a freeze thaw test makes many of them separate, so always check to see if they hold up under temperature extremes (such an easy test). Be very careful adding heat sensitive ingredients like antioxidants and preservatives while a product is molten (there are some who can handle the heat, but just double check). Awesome presentation Tara Lee! I love your content and channel very much. Pro tip: add BTMS 50 or phase B to hot water (Phase A) instead of trying to melt it (it can burn).

[@Ching21286]

Thank u so much it’s so informative. I’m a beginner and what confuses me a lot recently is soapy situation. I’m using an emulsifying wax which INCI same as Rita Mulse SCG, it’s from TRI company in US. Still trying to figure why. Was going to try BTMS-50 tomorrow and fortunately read ur comment, will put on my notebook before working on next lotion😊

[@JenSpice]

@@Ching21286 Yes, different suppliers design their raw ingredients for a specific purpose. Check your supplier to see if it is suitable for the product you want to make. INCI is one of the most confusing things a beginner has to figure out. Just because the INCI is identical in a raw ingredient may not mean that they work the same. Have fun formulating!

[@sydneybristo22]

Thank you for all of this plus the EXCELLENT tip on when to add it in formulations. I had no idea it could burn. Thank you. I've been reading on formulating for years for fun but now hope to actually create my own personal only products- not for sale.

[@clarewhite3004]

I really enjoy BTMS-50 as a lotion emulsifier. It's silky and lingers on my skin. It wouldn't be my first pick for a light summer lotion, but it's great on parched, itchy hands and elbows.

[@kalihoward]

I agree. Heating phase a to at least 120° prevents the melted butters waxes and oils from solidifying when it hits room temperature. The formulation will be liquid sort of like milk, but it will thicken to the consistency whether it's a runny lotion or a thick body cream.

[@monicaposner1761]

Thank you Tara, for this great learning video. I didn't find this video long at all, learned at lot, it was very clear and helpful since I like lately to make my own skin lotions and hair conditioner, only for me and my daughters . Thank you again for your incredible tutorial !!❤❤😊

[@secretbeautes1]

[@kajolgolchha1326]

Loved the content especially wanted to try hair conditioner with multipurpose shaving bar . By seeing and learning from you I started a KZbin channel to educate people and share my formulation journey I really dreaming that one day I will also grow like you and wanted to do a collaboration video sister. Really loved the 4 formulations . Leave on spray is really different topic. Thank you so much for sharing sister ❤️. Congratulations on 50.3 k on Instagram sis I recreated 2 formulations with some changes according to my skin type really liked it ❤. Thank you sister 🌹🌻🥰🫂

[@rubyhill3455]

Tara you are amaxing, i love watching your videos. They are so educational but also entertaining. Thank you so much. Btw please do that video about how you did your white letter labels as shown in this video!!

[@lynnbernard7030]

Hi Tara, thanks for sharing! Will you please explain the need for two separate water phases?

[@TaraLeee]

there was a phase A B & C and the C contains all the heat sensitive ingredients A & B contains the non heat sensitive ingredients

[@CherryAMSNL]

That you so much for this video and formulations. It wasn't long at all. I enjoy watching your videos. Just ordered btms50.

[@Theafasmr735]

Thank you so so much Tara lee. I have learn so much from you😘

[@krenee984]

I tried the conditioner bar and loved it for my dry, dense kinky waist length afro-textured hair. Gets a little too soft for my climate so going to try shifting to harder butters next time. I also used optiphen plus since it contacts water (not sure about its ability to self preserve in this environment).

[@salmabadanga]

I watched this video to the end.. learnt alot from using this emulsifier.. can’t wait to try it out..

[@kathleenmcintosh7244]

Thx you, so much to do with Btms, I’m at urs gonna try and make some of these recipes. I especially love the conditioners. Thx again for helping us self taught formularies. ❤❤

[@user-du8tf5wg6k]

Thank you for this amazing video.I have a question concerning the shaving bar: is it susceptible to mold growth since the formula doesn't contain a preservative? Can I add an oil-soluble preservative to this formula?

[@terihiggins263]

Thank you Tara, you explain everything so well I'm definitely going to all of these!!👍💜

[@teecee3143]

Tara !! Do you know BTMS - Q? Also named Crodazoquat MCC? They say it is also better as BTMS -50. Now i'm very curious! Xxxx Nicky

[@KinkyChickNoLye]

Can you do a video on cationic and anionic ingredients specifics with examples? Basilcaly, what ingredients that can not be mixed together.

[@TaraLeee]

I absolutely love BTMS 50 but it's expensive here in the uk 🇬🇧 and there is only one supplier I can find that sells it. However, I use BTMS 25 and it's amazing in my hair products

[@organcgreenhealthyliving6493]

Yes Tara

[@Sanellh]

Hi Tara. How can I adjust the conditioner recipe with the liquid D-Panthenol? Thanks❤

[@suziealthens1258]

Oh, this is so good! Must make the shaving bar and i will make the leave in conditioner and try adding some silk extract because my hair needs protein. Hiw fun ti have a formula to play with. Thank you!;

[@pauletteriley4412]

Hi Tara thank you thank you I appreciate these videos you make for beginners. I am new to making skincare and I enjoy your videos very much. I would like it if you can make a video on weight how to weigh the ingredients in different measurements. I like oz, someone else might prefer grams. I am not sure which is better plz help

[@TaraLeee]

grams is the way everyone around the world weighs out ingredients. so this is why we weigh in grams when formulating, we are also supposed to use celsius. it’s just the way it’s done in the science field

[@royalroots_beaute]

Love this tara sell off

[@hebaalmobailish5169]

thanks for your amazing and helpful videos❤ . i have a question, does it matter if we did oil in water instead of water in oil?

[@ReginaPutri-dr5vn]

Can you make a tutorial for making day cream and night cream

[@ediths.q.3097]

Hi! Thank you!. But there are bar shampoo recipes that combine sci and btms50 (anionic and cationic). What can you tell us about it? :)

[@GrannyandAva]

Love ur recipes ty,

[@miaargyro7308]

my menthol crystals look like pellets and i dont have access to dl-panthenol, so what % do i use regular panthenol? im talking about the conditioner

[@tarawhite8847]

So how much fragrance would I add to the conditioner/shave bar? Thanks :)

[@Nwhghtes]

Hi Tara, just wondering whether I could ditch the Cetyl Alcohol. Would that make any difference? I’m trying to make alcohol-free skin care for myself. Any subtitution would be great too! Tysm

[@TaraLeee]

this isn't the type of alcohol that dries of the skin or hair. This is a hydrating moisturizing ingredient. I recommend looking into it 😊

[@ashlei4448]

Can you substitute the btms50 for btms25?

[@user-wy3ew6yj2p]

Is this a good conditioner that helps with frizz?

[@TaraLeee]

i don’t have frizzy hair myself, so i can’t say for sure, but if you try it please let me know if it helps with fizz.

[@franklinfuertes]

You turned that heat on for the leave in spray! Haha

[@marie-everaymond1805]

I follow all of your video since you beggining can I use euxy k 903as a preservative insted of optiphen plus ? is it compatible? Thank you

[@jenheinze1]

Is BTMS 50 considered natural? I typically use soft and silky NF

[@juliazehetmair2761]

Can you use germall liquid plus instead of optiphen and can you substitute different oils and butters?

[@krenee984]

Liquid germall plus is heat sensitive whereas optiphen is more heat stable while still being paraben free.

[@sugarthreadgk8174]

So I've got hands on btms 80... I'm using way less quantity then mentioned in recipes but my issue is it's snell...it has a very distinctive kind of smell which gets hard to mask with scent...does your btms 50 has a smell to it too?

[@bebenoberco5099]

Can I use BTMS 25 ? Here in Brazil, I find only BTMS 25 Thank u

[@damianchisley]

Can you make a video showing us how to formulate hair products? I only see detailed skin care videos, never hair.

[@dmartins21]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ilariaaquilina3043]

thank you for your teaching videos they are precious! i have BTMS 25 .. what Is the %i must use tò have the same effect?

[@krenee984]

They aren't thr same ingredient at all so you would have to rework the formulation to match the right melting point and conditioning power. Specifically, cetearyl alcohol is used for 25 vs cetyl alcohol for btms 50.

[@sharonhamilton6107]

I LOVE. BTMS 50

[@shackeriashakes4856]

Can i substitute BTMS 25 for 50?

[@nicolefiore49]

Is it okay to use btms 50 at 25%... on the vendor website it says max usage rate is 10%

[@successfulbusiness977]

Hi, may I know what major were you pursuing? And what major would you recommend to pursue for those who wanting to create cosmetic products like you ? Thanks

[@TaraLeee]

i didn’t go to school for this. i am self taught. in the beginning i learned a lot from the blog swiftcraftymonkey. i recommend reaching out to @cosmeticsyourways on instagram and talk to him. he is currently in college to be a cosmetic chemist one day.

[@krenee984]

Biomedical engineering (BME), chemistry, and biochemistry are all traditional college majors that position you to pursue this as a career. However, there are a few other majors and certifications that will give you the right skillset and requirements. Formula Botanica has some courses I hear for organic skincare and organic haircare

You have to check the ifra guidelines of each individual scent for the type of product (leave on vs aerosol vs rinse off).
