  1. This sounds awesome. I made a body butter bar with almost the same EO's in it and a little cool water fo, it smelled clean and herbal, everyone loved it. I hadn't tried it with the Menthol crystals yet.

    Well actually I had to make more of this today and I took out a portion to mix some crystals in to see how it works.

    I'm waiting for it to set so I can test the glide.

  2. I've had to fill a couple of special order requests for a particular scent that wasn't part of my regular line up that I make in bulk, so what I did was pour the lotion in the bottle first then add FO and with the plastic tube from the lotion pump stir it around a bit, shake it and then stir it some more.

    If you have thick lotion then shaking isn't going to do much good. If you're just making one bottle at a time you can put a zip lock baggie inside a cup for support, fill it with your lotion and FO and stir it, then seal it, cut a small tip off one corner and then fill your container. Trust people when they tell you not to go cheap on the baggies. I tried it once and the zipper stayed closed, but the side of the bag split and lotion was slowly oozing out and I didn't know it until I felt lotion on my arm at one point. Then I noticed it all over my apron (thank goodness I was wearing one), and even on my shoes.

    This is what I do also.
