r/DIYBeauty is a subreddit with 62k members. The most common kinds of discussions are solution requests and advice requests, and the community frequently discusses diy, formulation, diy skincare, hair, and oil, and they frequently recommend/review fragrance oil, fragrance oils, and oils.
r/DIYBeauty is no typical DIY beauty place! We create science-based cosmetic formulations that can be made at home without a full cosmetics lab. Not a general purpose skincare subreddit. Formulations posted here may not be used for profit.
