daniedb Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I tried two recipes yesterday, both tried and proven by other lotion-makers, and I blew it. AGAIN. My lotion disasters have never had the word "emulsify" introduced to them...they look beautiful, creamy and smell delicious, and then the water just FALLS out of them.So...I'm officially giving up on lotion until I buy some e-wax.Can you promise me that e-wax makes it easy? I'm convinced that even with e-wax, I'm going to get a watery, sloppy mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikatx Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I can't see how you can even make lotion withount ewax....??? Working with ewax is not hard at all, I promise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniedb Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 Erika - a lot of the recipes I've found use borax as an emulsifying agent, and that's what I've been trying. Forget it, I'm waiting on the ewax.Lilac - PMed you back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sudsnwicks Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I'm sure you'll have better luck with the e-wax. I've always used it, and it worked out fine even on my very first try. Good luck with lotion making, hope you will have success soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
