EarthScents Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I have a wonderful recipe for body lotion. I tried it last week and it was great. I want to change one thing about it though, I want it to be more silky when it goes on my skin. My question is should I add a butter or an oil, like maybe vit. E? It already has shea butter in it and I thought of adding more shea or perhaps another butter. Sorry if this is a stupid ? but I am new to lotions. Tell me if u need recipe posted.

Scent Cellar Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 You can use silk amino acid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarthScents Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 I was wondering about that also and thankfully, I do have some of that on hand. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I would have to see your recipe. Depending on what you're using, you could decrease the stearic. Or try adding silicones; they contribute to a nice "glide" feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
