Re: Judy do you heat and hold this way? Maybe heating up ingredients in the microwave until 170 and then placing in preheated oven at 170 for 20 minutes? Anyone else do this? Thanks!

So I recently created a small batch of coconut lotion and I made a mistake. I fudged the math a little bid and as a result think I added .8% liquid Germall Plus instead of .5%. Think this is going to cause any adverse reactions? Toss the batch or keep it? It's only a small batch anyway so it...

Thank you for the link!

Glad to hear this works great for everyone here :D I have an additional question, since I am not adding the scent when creating the lotion to create 100%, should I add slightly more fragrence? Usually, I do about 1% or 2% fragrence depending on how strong it is. However, since I am adding...

Exactly as Genny said, there are different rules and regulations for processing of food grade or cosmetic grade oils.

Thank you both judymoody and Genny! Looks like I will have to try mixing in a plastic bag. I was just concerned about the scent not being properly distributed, but like I said, I will have to try.

Do you prefer to add your scents to the lotion while making or do you prefer to make a base first and then add scents later on? In the past, I have added fragrences into my recipe to come up with 100% of my total ingredients. But I am thinking of using more scents, just making a base and...

Anyone? I hope this wasn't a dumb question lol.

Do you have a picture you can post?

That is why I was thinking too, just spray a little bit of alcohol and let dry for the lids. I will have to try with the pumps too. Thanks for the input!

Great link, thank you for posting!

So in the past when I made batches of creams, I would simply just make the batches in stainless steel mixing bowl and scoop into jars later. However, I am now thinking of making larger batches maybe 1 or 2 gallon batches. I have been looking online and it seems a good way to do it is by using...

Thanks again for the information Hazel!

Thank you for the great reply and the welcome! In the past, I have always just used normal Vitamin E acetate, but I think from your reply and recent research, it is time to try T50. I assume I would add it to the cool down stage like I do normal Vitamin E acetate. I just tried searching for...

Hello!! New the forum here! First question is about vitamin E and using it as an antioxidant to help extend life of our creations. My question is which is better, Vitamin E acetate or Vitamin E T50. I was reading on FNWL and they recommend that while vitamin e acetate is good, the T50 is...
