Hi, Tara! Congratulations on the amazing content! I would like to add up with something important regarding pH when formulating with niacinamide. The optimum solution stability is at a pH 6. Otherwise, It will hydrolyze and form nicotinic acid at higher or lower pH, which still has some vitamin B3 activity but can result in skin irritation. Greetings from Germany.
I’m amazed. I first came across your video on sterilizing and disinfecting. When you said you made homemade” skincare products, I immediately thought you were talking about doing “Pinterest Bella Thorne” type of products, but after viewing your other videos, that wasn’t the case. You know your chemistry and I love that you provide that information in your videos. I’m currently majoring in biotechnology and watching all of this makes me want to go into manufacturing❤️
Go for organic expeller pressed vegetable glycerin, if you can find it. Vegetable based oils are processed with heavy chemicals like hexane to extract the oils from the plants.
Ohh, HA doesn’t help with brightening. Is overrated, in my opinion. It can help, depending very much of its molecular weight, environmental humidity and whether you use other acids in your skin care routine, to only hydrate your skin. But often times it doesn’t add any benefit to the recipe other than thickening, very lightly, the texture. Xanthan gum would do the job pretty well here I believe. ❤️
Yes, I am allergic to hyaluronic acid. And nowadays all products comes with that ingredient. I can't use any of them. I need serum without hyaluronic acid...
I just started using niacinamide serum recently and I can already see the results! This is definitely a miracle worker! thank you so much for sharing , TaraLee! Always informative and great content! Have a beautiful weekend! ❤
thank you for making these videos; your the only one that actually takes your time, and gives detail information on making these products. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! YOU ARE APPRECIATED & INSPIRING.
Wow! I love how simple and informative your videos are. I've been looking for skin care for my preteen girls and couldn't find anything I considered safe, so I decided to make it myself and your videos have really helped. Guess what I'm binge watching this weekend😉
I did do the lemon & aloe toner with 5% niacinamide. here is the link ua-cam.com/video/z7-CpxbeMew/v-deo.html you can leave out the lemon hydrosol so it has no scent. also make sure your product is balanced to a ph of 6 when using niacinamide.
Hey Tara, thank you for this 🫶🏾. I never thought of making my powder into a serum. I was just thinking of mixing it into lotions, but I think this might be much easier 🤗
Hi Tara, i absolutely love your channel and cant wait for next videos. Thank you for your generosity ive learned soooo much from you. Quick question is it possible to combine niacinamide and retinol in one serum?
@@TaraLeee Just came across this video and it's brilliant, professional and explained very well. Am definitely going to make this. I have just 2 questions if I may: - How long does this serum last, and how can you tell when it's going off? - Can I leave out the "calendula extract", and if I do, what should I replace it with, more distilled water to make up for the shortfall of that 2%?
I LOVE this channel!! I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge with us. I want to start making my own products soon, but for now I'm using a store-bought moisturizer. Will it work for me to add some of the niacinamide that you use here to my store-bought moisturizer? I'm using the ordinary's natural moisturizing factors + ha.
You explained it simply and in a way that everyone can understand, thanks, I have a question! Is it okay if we don't add the hyalunaric acid? Thanks again.
Thank you for video! I have a question, do you have any information whether niacinamide goes with MSM in formulation? Also I would like do add little apricot oil ( mixed with aloe vera gel in advance). What do you think?
Hello taralee wow you did an amazing job. I've been trying to find a product that will clear my face up. Keep up the good work. Enjoy the rest of your day peace&blessings❤
Hi Tara. Many thanks for your great videos. I need to prepare Professional use Salicylic Acid Peel in serum base. Could you please suggest how to prepare the base? Thanks.
Thank you for sharing the awesome info! Would it be fine to eliminate the propanediol and preservative if I kept it refrigerated (not sure the function of the propandiol)? If yes, how long would you think it would last refrigerated? I prefer using no preservatives and keeping it refrigerated. Thx!
Can I replace proponedial with other ingredient And what is for?what is calendula extract for and can I replace it with other ingredient? What is liquid germal plus and does it have a replacement
Tara, I made the serum and it keeps peeling. Did this happen to you as well? I only apply 1 drop to the entire face. I tried applying it on dry skin and damp skin and it keeps peeling 😫 I always wait until it is dry before apply moisturizer
Hi Tara, love your videos. I want to make a serum or toner for my son, I ordered mandelic acid and niacinamide. can I mix them in a serum? or in a toner, what else can I use for thickener? xanthum gum? thank you

Hey Desi, yup I am aware of this. Thanks for mentioning it. I should have highlighted on that in the video :)
I was wondering the same thing

Can we use moringa?
Can we use any natural gum like acacia or xanthum gum instead of hyaluronic acid for thickening
@ZEENAT HAYAT KHAN Yeah but they asked about thickening agents, specifically

Propandiol is something like a humactant like glycerin which helps hydrate the skin
Liquid germal plus is safe to use its an excellent preservative wen it comes to water base products
I love you girl for this tutorial 💓
Thank you for this video,you are doing a great job 👍.Wanted to confirm can phenoxyethanol be replaced instead of germall plus?
Where is this exact product so I can purchase?
oh i buy this serum haha so i ts good to know how to make it!! thank you for always sharing tara you are amazing x
Can I replace proponedial with other ingredient And what is for?what is calendula extract for and can I replace it with other ingredient? What is liquid germal plus and does it have a replacement
after the serum is ready, can we use it or do we have to wait
I am so impressed with your work! The niacinamide ingredient was no longer there. Help?
if you use hydrosol with alcohol does it interfere with the other preservatives?
can we skip calendula extract or use some alternative? plz reply
This recipe is great, Thanks 😊
very good. Can I use CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose) powder instead of Hyaluronic acid?
Propendiol and liquid germall plus can I skip while making this serum? Can I use only niacinamite + hyaluronic acid+ glycerine/ aloe vera gel?
