Michi Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I can't believe it!! I just went to sniff some lotion I had made at Christmas time, and I opened and just about hoarked, there was a big ol' green fuzzy patch on top!! This was a base I had, and I was assured that it already had a preservative in it.The bad thing is, I gave a bunch of this out to people at christmas and such, and now I'm worried about them getting moldy too. I'm sooo worried and embarrassed now. I mean who would want to buy products from me if their lotion turns moldy????? :embarasse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Where did you get the base? I would contact the company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna4909 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Did you sterilize all your equipment when you made the lotion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Sterilzation was a BIG yes, bleached myself to death baby!! LOL Yes, I guess I will contact them, it's funny though I've been making that same base for a while now and it never did that before, so I wonder if something funky just got into that particular batch?? The bad part is, I gave out the other half of that batch to my hubby's cousin for Christmas. :embarasse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Lilac Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Was you lotion in a tube, pump or in a jar where you scoop out the lotion? When lotions are put in jars where you scoop it out, it tends to get bacteria introduced into the jar from unclean fingers dipping into the lotion. Just a thought.

Michi Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 It's in a jar, but this jar that I opened yesterday has not been used, it's just been stored since I made it. I'm thinkin' something funky just got in there when I made it or something, b/c none of my other lotions or creams (same base) have done this.
