This is the recipe I used to make my 1st lotion - total was 30 ounces, not counting fragrance and preservative:
sodium lactate 1% 0.3
stearic acid 2% 0.6
ewax 4% 1.2
sweet almond 6% 1.8
apricot k oil 4% 1.2
shea butter 1% 0.3
sunflower oil 3% 0.9
water 79% 23.7
preservative 1% 0.3
fragrance oil 4% 1.2
Right now it is cooling down, but at this point, appears that it is going to be too watery.
If it is too watery, can I make a batch with less water to hopefully be a bit thicker and add it to what I already have?
Also a person I worked with said she went to a shop where she could choose the fragrance she wanted and they would mix it with a lotion base. Do you think that this would work with this type of lotion?
