Katherine Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 i'm using WSP body butter & I'm having a hard time covering up the slight base odor. It is not an offensive odor, but it is a smell that exists. DOes anyone else use this & have anything similar? If I use a strong lemon scent or a powerful floral, its ok. But anything else, i'm not able to cover it up & I don't want to go over the suggested FO load. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deronda31 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 are you using the base as is, or adding distilled water?? My testers and I thought that it was more like frosting, so I added a bit of water to it. Came out great. I haven't had a problem with an odor though. My favorite scent for it right now is Amber Romance or Love Spell. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 When you added water did you have to adjust preservative? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes it a true "butter", rather than a lotion or cream. Love Spell sounds like a great idea to try. That might be just powerful enough to do the trick. Thanks for the suggestion! I'm gonna go test it now. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deronda31 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 sorry for the late reply!! I didn't add much, but I did email to ask how much distilled water would compromise the integrity of the base. They told me 4 cups to a gallon of base and add 2% germaben to be safe. Soooo, I'm still working on it, because I'd stink at trying to make anything from scratch right now! I'm good if I remember which way is home. LOl;) HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
