donna4909 Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 I used citric acid instead of the vinegar. I was worried about the smell of vinegar.I think I'm a bit allergic to germall plus though... I rubbed some of the lotion on my arm, and it felt kinda weird. After about 10 minutes I had some light itchiness & more tingling, nothing major, but I noticed it.I let my boyfriend & sister test it, and it was perfectly fine on them. No itching or tingling.I've used all these ingredients on my skin before, except for the germall plus, so I'm guessing that's what it is. Finally made lotion, and can't even use it.

donna4909 Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 It's colored with red liquid B&B colorant. I think I used 5 drops, and this was a 16 oz. batch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candleslh Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 That looks fantastic. I'm going to try that recipe too. I was also wondering about the vinegar smell. I think I'll try the citric acid too. Way to go!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Great looking - isn't that OOH recipe nice? I made some last year for my mom - she loves the ACV so I did use that. And yes, you've got to like the smell of ACV - it's not all that bad really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melly Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Looks good, did you use the full percentage of steratic to make it thick like a cream or did you take it out to make a thinner lotion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
