I could certainly use a calculator for various factors in all oil concoctions as well as emulsions.
Is there an app like Soapcalc for body, face and hair creams and oils?

You can download a free and simple one from the Humblebee and Me website. I believe there is another one on either Lotion Crafter’s website, or maybe Making Cosmetics? These are not apps per se, but calculators, usually in Excel format.
ETA: I just looked on Humblebee & Me, and I didn't find her free Excel calculator download. But I did find that she now sells a lotion formulator/calculator tool for $149. You can read about that here.

Ali, thank you!
Just curious, what would you need to calculate for lotions? Are you using custom emulsifier combos that require you to calculate the HLB?

No, I just wanted to know the recommendations/ratios for oils/butters/additives/preservatives without having to look each one up. I guess I'm lazy. I haven't used the great info that AliOop gave me but I will.
Oh i see.. yeah i started to keep a list of my ingredients in a spreadsheet with
- whether it should be added in oil / water / cooldown phase
- recommended usage %
- ph range in can handle
- short note about its properties
It was annoying to have to key them in but i only had to do it once. I mainly relied on Lotioncrafter and Humblebee's encyclopedia for the info.

Look up the app Airtable and the template GOYA. It's a fantastic resource
I found the free online lotion and cream calculator that I've used in the past, located here.
This is soooo interesting!!! Way too complex for me but I'm always curious about how others keep track of their recipes. This is like spreadhseets on steroids!
