first of all I would like to say happy new year to you, I came across one of your videos and it really inspired me and I quickly subscribed to your channel thank you very much for everything it's a beautiful demonstration.
I just tested out this formula and I love it! It's moisturizing without being greasy and it came together really well. I heated Phase A and B together in one dish as a shortcut and it worked perfectly. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge with us!
Great job on this video!!! Finally someone that shows how to make lotion THEN CHECKS THE PH AFTER👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. I’ve seen SO MANY lotion making videos and they never check or say the importance of checking ph. As a beginner it’s important to know to ALWAYS check ph of your lotion after. Thank you🙌🏾
I just made this lotion and I love, love, love this recipe. My skin feels so soft and non greasy. I mixed mango butter and shea, very nice. Thank you for the recipe, appreciate you.
Happy New Year Tara!💜 Love this recipe thank you for sharing. You Channel has become my favorite go to for formulating help. I was wondering if you could make this lotion lighter for the summer months? Thank you so much for being you. Your Amazing!
God loves you and He wants to have a relationship with you start by believing Jesus paid the price for our sins on the cross and repent He can give you so much love, joy and peace.
Happy New year may this year brings you the greatest and best things to your life . I'm starting the year by watching your video and getting myself ready to learn and explore everything and I was really inspired that you posted today . Thank you for your friendly teaching 💖
God loves you and He wants to have a relationship with you start by believing Jesus paid the price for our sins on the cross and repent He can give you so much love, joy and peace.
I'm new to your channel. Thanks for the videos. As a small business owner trying to create my own products I find your videos informative. I appreciate you
Happy new year from South Africa!! I wish all of you a blessed and prosporous year. Thank you for this awesome receipe. Just want to say thank you for your retinol, ceremide nightcream. I use it all the time. I think it is amazing!!!
There's sooo much kindness and clarity in ur voice ... thanks for these vids... very helpful ... can u make a video describing how to set up a sterile environment mini lab set up for these products to be made at home ?
Hi Tara! I am a soap maker cold process mainly and love, love learning!!! You have taught me so much as well as inspiring me to take a plunge and try out new things! Truly appreciate it❤ Do you by any chance have a natural deodorant recipe? TYIA
Wow! I made 4 different scents and colors for this formula and I just can't wait to show them for my clients next holiday!! Thank you for sharing 🙂 You are so inspiring!
God loves you and He wants to have a relationship with you start by believing Jesus paid the price for our sins on the cross and repent He can give you so much love, joy and peace.
Hi there, thank you for your video, I make lotions but i dont know how to do formulas yet, when i first learn was through a doctor from Spain but her lotion has too much oil for my taste and i don't know how to lower the oil and increase the water, I had make from other youtubers but my fault i don't save the recipes, I made yours and i really like it, i replace few items, like BTMS 50 for 25, cetyl alcohol for cetearyl alcohol and I used optiphen instead of germaplus, and it came out really nice, not oily, not to liquid just right. thank you again, i will save a screen shot of your ingredients list.
Happy New year! Thank you for your nice video's. Is an hair conditionar bar an idea for a new video or did you post one about that on the past. Thank you for all you're information!😀
happy new year! i actually posted a hair conditioner bar recipe on my patreon last month or maybe the month before. i also have another hair conditioner formula on my channel - ua-cam.com/video/uZ9aXEjyKjg/v-deo.html
Hi, I'm another formulator, checking out Tara's channel. So far, so good! I saw a lot of comments asking if you can use BTMS-25 instead of BTMS-50. You really can't, here's why. BTMS-50 is half (50%) BTMS, half thickeners. BTMS-25 is 25% BTMS, 75% thickeners. If you substituted an equal amount of 25 instead of 50, you'd have half the emulsifier and might not be able to create a lotion at all, depending on the amount of oils/butters. Or you would end up with a thinner lotion ... it's hard to predict what would happen. You also end up with a lot more thickeners if you use 25. This might make the lotion too thick, or might just mess it up. Again, it's hard to predict. Formulators do a lot of experiments like this ... and end up throwing out *a lot* of failures. If you want to experiment, that's great, but if you just want to make one batch and have it turn out perfect ... don't substitute anything.
God loves you and He wants to have a relationship with you start by believing Jesus paid the price for our sins on the cross and repent He can give you so much love, joy and peace.
@@privilegiada1 Sometimes it does work out perfect! I'm glad it did in your case. That does not mean you can substitute BTMS-25 for -50 in other things and have it work ... definitely try it, but accept that you might get a product fail.
Hi Taralee , I liked very much this recipe for the lotion, i was wondering if its possible to use Btms 25 instead of the 50. I already have that so . Thanks a lot
Hi Tara! I just found your channel and find it very informative :) Being a formulator myself, my advice would be to use as little as 2-5g of citric acid and equal part of water to adjust the pH, instead of using 50/50g. You only use few drops and throw the rest away which is a big waste, unless you store the solution and use it in other diys. Keep up the great work and have a prosperious New Year :)
welcome to the channel. hope you are enjoying it! 😊 happy new year 🎈 but i don’t waste the rest. i store this solution and usually use it up within a month. i talk about my pH adjusting method in more detail in my video all about pH - ua-cam.com/video/OfoZ6B40NSQ/v-deo.html
Hi Tara HAPPY NEW YEARS!! thanks for sharing, I have been looking to formulate a massage oil and candle massage oil and it hasn't been turning out that great could you do a video in the future especially with valentines coming up.
I’m new to formulating lotions and body wash. Thankful I stumbled upon your channel and have been binge watching your channel… Your channel has provided me great insight on proper ingredients and the benefits of them. I signed up for your Pateron page and have been studying ever since lol… I just made my first test batch of this lotion Friday night and failed (mainly because I was jamming out to music and forgot to add em wax 🤦🏽♀️… tried to fix it but welp failed lol) then I made my second test batch yesterday (I used regular em wax instead of BTMS 50), then I used Stearic acid (since I had that already on hand because I use it in my candles), I also used mango butter because I wanted a soft luxury feel to it (idk if it’s considered luxury but it sounds fancy), then I used jojoba oil since it has vitamin e in it (had it on hand for body oils) and then I used Geogard 221. It came out perfectly! It didn’t streak or anything… it was the perfect texture and very silky smooth and soft! Definitely hydrating! Perfect summer lotion. I also used mica powder which I know but it worked fine! I didn’t have to combine it with anything it blended perfectly… I think it was because it was still warm idk but it worked lol I’ll be making a video for it soon and I’ll be sure to give you all the credit! Much love 💕
Also, I checked the ph and surprisingly didn’t have to adjust it… it came up to about a 5 😊 im super proud of myself for taking a chance and finally trying it
New subscriber here 👋🏻, I love your channel. If you could make a vid on a lighter lotion that would be amazing. Something that absorbs quickly into the skin with no oily residue. Thank you.
Hi Tara! First of all Happy New Year’s! 🎉 If I don’t have BTMS-50 and only have BTMS-25, can I use it as a replacement/substitution for this formula? If so, how should I go about it’s usage? Double it to get the emulsion that BTMS-50 will give? I hope my question makes sense, I’m a total newbie with formulations 😅
You have helped me so much! I have accumulated enough ingredients and supplies to make creams, lotions, body butters, bath bombs which I gave away for the Holidays. Just wanted to let you know how much of an influence you have been to me. Today is my birthday, so I am up early watching this, getting ready for a massage and dinner with the family. First, make more facial cream with hemp seed oil and Niacinamide. Happy New Year!
Great formula and it worked a treat for me. Except that there is a slight stickiness after rubbing the lotion on the skin. How does one get rid of this stickiness?
Can you please show how you would make an emulsified body sugar or Dead Sea salt scrub that would keep its piped form when placing in jars! Thank you so much for all you do!! Love your tutorings!!
This is how we begin the year 👏
yes!!!! 🥰
happy new year!

This looks fabulous, no soaping when applied. Thank you for sharing. If I choose to use e-wax or ritamulse, is percentage still the same?
Awesome 🤩 thank you so much for share this formula ♥️ happy new year 2023!!!
Hi Tara HAPPY NEW YEARS!! thanks for sharing, I have been looking to formulate a massage oil and candle massage oil and it hasn't been turning out that great could you do a video in the future especially with valentines coming up.

Thank you, for detailed content. But how do I learn about formulations??? May you please reccomend a book or course to begin with

@taralee can you do a formulation of water lotion like Victoria secret water lotion please and thank you
I answered my question thank you
I love this thicker lotion. Can you do a lighter one also.
Great formula and it worked a treat for me. Except that there is a slight stickiness after rubbing the lotion on the skin. How does one get rid of this stickiness?
Beautiful ❤️ thanks
Thank you so much.
Hi Tara Lee,
You make wonderful videos..just wanted to understand are all these ingredients natural?
Hi Tara! What emulsifier would you recommend for a massage lotion?
Yes formula for a lightweight body lotion please and make a formula with azelaic acid too . Thank you 😊
Thank you for this can't wait to try. I struggle with emulsified body butters. I'm looking for something that in between beginner and intermediate
maybe i’ll do an intermediate version 😊 thanks so much for watching.
@@TaraLeee you are the best thank you again.

Hi Tara! did you remove your Castile soap recipe?? I made it one tie and loved it, now I cannot find anything as thorough as yours!
Tara, can you use BTMS 25 instead of 50? What difference would it make? Thank you ❤
Hello can you give me an alternative for the preservative you have used?
And is phenonip a good one ?
This is so useful thanks
i’m so glad you enjoyed! 😊
Happy New year🎉🎉
happy new year! 😊
Oh my goodness you should make a book!!!!
Tara, if I want to leave out the 5% shea butter, can I take that 5% and add it to an oil and skip shea butter all together?
Hey Tara, can i know is this more suitable for day time or night time?
can you show how to make a body wash with exfoliating acids such as mandelic acid ?
👏🏽 Thank you!
so glad you enjoyed!
No matter how long you have been doing this . Refresher course never hurts
Hi Tara, what is it about optiphen that destabilizes emulsions?
I would like to try..
What is the alternative of shea butter?and the same quantity can be used for alternative?
Could you use hydrosol and distilled water together in this recipe? and if so what percentage for both water and hydrosol?
Is it easy to double or triple this recipe/formula to make larger batches?
Mam can you say the difference between lotion and cream and for what skin type which one is better
I appreciate you so much you have no idea thank you so much may God continue to bless you gggiiirrrrlllll thank you much love from Trinidad.
