.loader {
  position: relative;
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  border-radius: 10rem;
  border: 3px solid white;
  background: linear-gradient(#eb31b0, #e4c352, #7df8d6);
  box-shadow: 0px 0px 100px -50px black;
  animation: animate 1s linear infinite;
}

.loader::before {
  position: absolute;
  content: "";
  background: #fff;
  left: 50%;

Suggestion: It might be better setting the border-radius in both selectors to 50% so they are relative to the size of the element.
