Awww thank you soooo much Tara. I requested for these recipes few days ago and you actually posted them ♥️♥️

[@koolpebble]

You are definitely growing as a formulator. I remember not too long ago you were trying to figure out which solvent to use with salicylic acid. Congrats! 👏 Let's see if you'll be working with lactic acid (like a lotion or moisturizer) and possibly formulating sunscreens.

[@TaraLeee]

Thank you so much! Yes it took so long to figure it out. I’ve used lactic acid tons of times, I have a few formulas using it here on my channel. Haven’t done a moisturizer though, but that’s a great idea! I have a video on my channel discussing why I won’t be making a sunscreen though.

[@karthurh]

@@TaraLeee yeah, literally sunscreen formulations might be really hard to make. Companies might keep it as a big secret and we can tell by how pricey sunscreens are

[@Binkles]

Individuals can’t make sunscreens; it takes *really* well-funded labs. It’s not just astonishingly difficult to make, but all the testing to see whether you’ve succeeded would break a normal person with a normal wallet.

[@Kontraleah]

TARALEE! Killin' IT! This is beautiful, I cannot wait to try it. I can't believe I am saying this (because I still feel so much younger than I am), but I will be 40 this year and it is really beginning to show in my skin. I have tons of little benign, but obnoxious dry patches all over my skin. They are invisible until I put on a self-tan, and the pigment collects around them and I'm left with unsightly little spots all over my arms and legs. I'm really curious to see if consistent use of AHA/BHA-containing lotions will improve the texture of my skin. I'm really excited to try this and see if it might restore some of my youthfulness. Thank you so much, love all your content!

[@Orishatoju]

Yay I’m so excited to see the video, I can’t wait for you to make a salicylic face wash to pair with these.. thank you ☺️

Thank you for making this video. I want to ask, if I use your measurement as you stated in this video, how many % salicylic acid will be present in the toner after the all process. Will the other ingredients reduce its concentration or the concentration will still be the same I'll be anticipating your response. Thank you

[@superman2000rls]

I noticed used a different solubilizer over on your Patreon. Do you have a preference of which one you like better?

Can L-Arginine be used to raise pH instead of sodium hydroxide buffer solution? What are the key differences between these two? L-Arginine seems to be much easier to use than NaOH solution. Thank you 😊

[@waynegross2113]

Awesome video SA, there are many people who don't want to mess with it, because it's regulated. However, it's worth the hassel. It's a great ingredient, and should be used more often. The process is a little daunting, but the people at the FDA are nice and will walk you through the whole process. If you read there page on the website, it sounds complicated, it's not as bad as the printed version sounds, lol!

[@ellielynn8219]

Thanks! I was wondering where to start.

[@LaurieGatnik]

Great video. I love how the propanedial dissolved the SA, however I did not have the poly suga mulse D9, so I used Polysorbate. And that ruined the the toner...... It was all cloudy and the SA re-crystalized. Thanks for sharing.

[@misturaojulari9707]

I used polysorbate 20. It was cloudy after mixing the two phases at first, but turned out just fine after some minutes

[@SA-pj1oc]

Hello.. Thanks for this amazing content! Could you please let me know the percentage of lemon or any fruit extracts can be used in 3.5 OZ product. Thanks.

[@adrianavega1548]

Hi! This is great! Could you maybe show us how to make a salicylic acid bodywash?

[@AB4Jss]

Just wondering…is the toner supposed to be used with the moisturizer? Since each has 2% salicylic acid, wouldn’t it be too harsh especially for acne prone or sensitive skin?

[@clarewhite3004]

Liquid salicylic acid is so much easier to work with! FSS has liquid willow bark extract 10% and 20%. My toner formula is: 10% willow bark extract (use 20% SA equivalent for 2% SA content) 0.5% liquid germall plus 5% propanediol 1,3 2% green tea extract (or any other botanical extract with antioxidants - I use this in the morning and it's good to have your antioxidants on before exposure to the oxidative stress of the day) Water to 100% I adjust the pH to 3.0-3.9 with lactic acid.

[@TaraLeee]

Liquid version probably would be easier, but I wanted to use the powder version. Also Willow bark extract isn’t as strong as salicylic acid. They are compared to one another often but definitely not at strong.

[@clarewhite3004]

@@TaraLeee Since the extracts are standardized to a certain percent salicylic acid, it should be equal strength.

[@clarewhite3004]

@@TaraLeee Okay yeah you were totally right about salicyn vs salicylic acid! But! I still found something easy to work with! It's a 40% salicylic acid solution from MakingCosmetics. It's water-soluble, just pour and stir. It wouldn't be cost-effective for large-scale production, but for people who are just formulating as a hobby like me, it's perfect. I paid about $14 for 2.3 fl oz. I know you were more interested in the powder, but it would be a nice option for intermediate formulators.

Hi Tara , thanks for all you do… please I need guidance on how to formulate lotions with Aha.. glycolic acid and lactic acid 😔

Hi Tara ! Love the video ❤️ amazing content as always, i wanted to ask do you recommend any ph adjusters? I know you make your own solution to bring the ph up, i personally was using baking soda to bring my ph up in certain products but it would make it sud up extremely.

I mostly make oils for the face/body/hair but recently I’ve been thinking about expanding towards hair mist/sprays, facial mist and creams, scrubs, and more. So I’m new to preservatives and solubilizers but I’ve been researching and I like what I’ve read so far about Geogard Ect or Ultra and Togo Solve 61. Does anyone use or have experience with these? I’d like some feedback before I purchase them and start experimenting. And if you dont recommend those ones are there any you do I’m trying to stay away from the synthetic preservatives though.

I've always wanted to know how to do this properly. It always crystallised when I made it but I didn't use a solubilizer 🙈 Thank you Tara now I know how to do it 🤗

Hi I have a question. Doesnt the lye solution change properties of salicylic acid? Its an acid-base reaction, where salicylic acid get's converted to sodium oxidobenzoate. Im just curious, maybe in creams it works different.

[@TaraLeee]

you need an alkaline to raise the pH a bit. you aren’t raising the pH enough to make it neutral or alkaline so you aren’t effecting the salicylic acid. if you were to use too much of the pH buffer then yes it would effect the salicylic acid

Tara, does changing the Ph from acid to neutral reduce the effectiveness of salicylic acid? How does the lotion exfoliate if it’s no longer an acid? Is Salicylic an exception?

[@charlyjgm]

It does not. There're some studies confirming this property. Salicylic acid is still effective at neutral pH (7). That why profesional peel that are highly alcohol based and at concentration of 35-40% are still effective. Some people say Salicylic acid is the exception when we talk about pH 😅

[@MyPintVerse]

Still active up to pH 7 but would work optimally when pH is lower

You need to use an emulsifier that is active in low ph levels. Message your supplier and ask if the ewax can be used in ph levels as low as 3. Lotionpro 165 is a combination of glyceryl stearate and PEG 100 Stearate

I don’t believe it matters although salicylic acid is tricky, so it might not work. They could react weirdly together.
