KCScentsations Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I'm wondering if someone could help me out. I wanted to try out some lotion and wondering if someone could give me some tips. My family keep asking me about making lotion. Any ideas of where to start? Any help is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katshe Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Go to thesage.com recipes and I believe a lotion calculator there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadryga Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 A few detailed ones... Snowdrift's formulary is pretty wide and has tutorials that teach you the technical aspects of lotionmaking and really helps you understand the process and the various components.http://www.snowdriftfarm.com/formulary.htmlAromatics & More's formulary is very helpful for samples which you can follow per se, or use to gauge percentages for formulating recipes.http://www.aromaticsandmore.com/formulary.htmlThis one's by Donna Maria and it's got some pretty interesting recipes.http://www.makeyourcosmetics.com/recipes/index.asp?cat=lotionsAlso pretty interesting...http://www.pinemeadows.net/recipes.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibiscus Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Does anybody know if that vegelatum is the same as un petroleum jelly that camden gray sells? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadryga Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Camden Grey's un-petroleum jelly is castor oil based and contains beeswax and carnauba wax, while Vegelatum is canola oil based and as far as I know, does not contain wax. Otherwise though, they're essentially the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
