Hello,

I made am emulsified lotion last night. I added an essential oil mix that is too faint. I’d like to add more EO but do not want to ruin the 400 gram batch (I should have made a smaller batch and tried the amounts first!). I would appreciate any suggestions on this. As I am giving it away as gifts, so I do not want to take the risk of it separating. The lotion is fairly thick. Any suggestions would be so appreciated. Thank you 🙏
 
It might work okay especially if the fragrance is only a small % of the total batch. But no guarantees, though. IMO, a thick texture doesn't necessarily guarantee a lotion is "bullet proof".

Best way to know is to try it out on a sample.
