recipe for ruuny lotion

[wxz123]

hi everyone,

In the past 4 days I was struggling to make this perfect lotion, smooth....runny lotion, instead I'm ending up with this very airy lotion, which looks like its not emulsified enough, but if i add more ewax it will end up too thick. Please if anyone had experienced this problem, let me know..before I pull my hair out of my head
here is the recipe:

75% water
15% oil
5-6% ewax

xoxo

If you want a body milk or spray type of lotion go up on your water and down on your oils/wax. I make a body milk with an 84% water phase, 10% oils phase, 2.5% e-wax, 2% cetyl for glide, FO and preservative. Your e-wax should be 25% of your oil phase, and that will really determine the viscosity of your product. HTH!
