thanks, store bought lotion never worked for me they were either too greasy, did not moisturize enough or made me itchy. so far the lotion that i made is working well...my husband even likes it...CibariaSoapSupply said:
actually it was not hard to make, i thought that it would be and was afraid that i would mess it up, but it was easy and alot of fun....as far as forums this is about the only one that i go to and don't find the other forums helpful as i find soapmaking forum...i was just going through youtube and found one but used the oils and butter that i wanted....this is what i used to make my lotion....oil phase: 3oz shea butter, 2oz jojoba oil, 1oz coconut oil, 1/2 tsp vitamin E oil, 1.5 oz polowax NF water phase: 1tablespoon glycerine, 1tsp preservastive i used 1/2tsp. cosmocil CQ and 1/2 tsp optiphen and 16 oz distilled water, but i used orange essential water instead. you heat up all your ingredients that are in the oil phase, make sure the polowax and butter is completely melted...combine your water and glycerine together then carefully pour your heated oils into the water phase, use a stick blender to mix it all together as you pour your oils for a few seconds then add your preservatives then continue to blend until you see it thicken up a little...i just blended mine for a few minutes, then i just poured it into containers and let it sit at room temperature for about an hour, it should thicken up but not too much, mine turned out almost souffle-like and was happy with the results and so was my hubby...oh if you want you can fragrance too, all i used was 1/2 tsp. of fragrance oil as i don't like it too strong...Note: you don't have to use optiphen it was just a preference that i used it with cosmocil CQ...hope it works out for you if you decide to make it....let me know how it turns out...Saltysteele said:
