    When I’m talking about “primary” & “secondary” oils I’m not referring to Essential oils as the “secondary” oil
    What I am trying to explain is that within the group of carrier oils I noticed they can be separated into two different sub categories. I like to call those sub categories ”primary” & “secondary”
    The primary oils are the cheaper oils like almond oil, apricot kernel oil, grapeseed oil, etc.
    The secondary oils are the really expensive ones, the ones that might stain your skin, like carrot seed or sea buckthorn oil. Or oils that might smell and need diluted like Neem oil.
    I hope that cleared things up :)

      Just stumbled across your video looking for an explanation between a "carrier oil" and a "diluent" when adding terpines to food and beverages. (Sometimes it makes more sense when I hear it explained rather than read it)
      My reading says--
      "Diluent: A substance which is combined with a larger volume of another substance to reduce its strength." _I believe these are the *Secondary Oils* you're referring to (i.e. oils that are too expensive/potent to be used on their own.)
      "Carrier: A substance which is combined with a smaller volume of another substance to reduce its strength. The term carrier is derived from its purpose. Another term for carrier is base." I think these are the *Primary Oils* you're referring to. Examples of carrier oils listed were: Coconut oil, jojoba oil, hemp seed oil, etc.
      I'm kinda thinking of the general proportions of cough syrup... Primary oil/"Carrier": Inactive ingredients
      Secondary oil/"Diluent": Active ingredients
      Essential oil/Terpines: Dyes, flavoring, and fragrances
      Is this somewhat along the lines of what you're describing?

      @@darrenro2 I'm not a professional but from my limited understanding I think that would be considered more of a serum and no longer an "body oil" if that makes sense. Aloe vera isn't an anhydrous product. You would need an emulsifier if you want to combine oil and aloe very together.

    If you're looking for a bulk alternative for Vitamin E to save on costs, Tocopheryl Acetate (or Vitamin E Acetate) is a great bulk alternative. Tocopherol is another name for natural Vitamin E and Tocopheryl Acetate is a stabilized version (so not natural unfortunately) that has longer lasting antioxidants. Also using a combo of both is a great way to enhance Vitamin E efficacy.

Don't dry off your skin all the way, just slightly pat your skin to where its still damp, and the. Apply your oil to your skin. This will allow the oil to penetrate into the skin.

      I know vitamin E and pro vit B5 are ingredients that will basically evaporate if you add them in the oil or water phase especially when they are hot. You want to heat your oils and waters, then combine them. While they are cooling you add the vit E/ B5 so they don’t evaporate out of the formula. I forget what temperature you can start to add them, but if you go to your supplier website they should tell you an approximate temperature

    Please clarify the spelling of the 3 green alternatives for silicones? The only one I was able to figure was 1) Coco Caprylate.
    Can polysorbate 80 be added to this list (for lets say sunflower oil)? If so, at what percentage please?

    • @TaraLeee

      NatraSil
      Coco Caprylate
      Neossance Hemisqualane
      They all can be purchase on lotioncrafter.com
      Polysorbate 80 is a nonionic surfactant emulsifier. It helps solubilize oils into water so they don't separate. But polysorbate 80 won't thicken formulations like other nonionic surfactants like emulsifying wax NF, RitaMulse, Etc.

      @@TaraLeee Thanks for your reply. However, unsure how to understand your discussion re polysorbate not thickening as it relates to reducing greasiness. I'm new at this. I only wanted to know if polysorbate 80 can reduce the 'greasiness' of body oils and have an overall good feeling like the others in your list ... Thanks again

      Poly Sorbate is added to mix water with oil, so in a a basic “body oil” it is not needed. If it was a bath oil, that goes in the tub while you soak, it would be added because it helps spread and mix into the water it’s sitting in with you. Not just sit on top of the tub...makes sense?

      @@Skylightatdusk I have superrrrr oily skin! And my skin likes sunflower oil! It penetrates into the skin quickly and the best way to apply any oil is on damp skin not dry skin, so the oil can penetrate into your skin and you won't sweat it out. When you apply oil to dry skin your just applying it on the epidermis layer of your skin which is the outer layer. But when you apply the oil on damp skin it penetrates into the dermis layer which is under the epidermis layer. Causing you to feel more moisturized, because the oil has penetrated into your pores, causing your skin to reap the benefits of the oil, insteqd of the oil just sitting on top of the skin! This is why celebrities have glowing skin they apply baby oil on their skin while damp ! 💖 You just have to apply the oil correctly and you shouldn't have that problem with it sweating off hon! It's easy for it it sweat off when its just sitting on top of your skin when the oil hasn't penetrated into your skin yet! But I would definitely say try sunflower oil I think you will love it! Hope this helps you a bunches!💖

    Hi, would you suggest using a silicone in a scalp and hair oil? And if you use a preservative would that increase shelf life even though an ingredient already has a shelf life , for example if something had a shelf life of 6months would using a preservative increase the shelf life?
