I need a good basic natural lotion recipe from scratch

[jmk3482]

There doesn't seem to be a recipe for lotion on here that is very basic and from scratch. Does anyone have one that only has like 4 or 5 ingredients. I don't want to use liquid soap in my lotion.

I'm no expert, but I made my own lotion using the guideline here

If you post what oils you have and what part of your recipe you want to be oils I would be more than happy to help you out. (For example do you want your recipe to be 30% oils or 18% oils.)

Why 30% or 18% oils? I'm new to making lotions.

I found a how to on youtube.

I made this recipe like they did in the video and it turned out great! Moisturizing but light and non-greasy. For a preservative, you can use any 10% or above grain alcohol. Cheap vodka will work.
