arkangel Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 If you tell us the proportions of your ingredients and the temps you're working at, we'll be better able to give some advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Isn't it frustrating? I've been playing around with a recipe for months now, and everytime I think I've finally got it right, it eventually separates again! GRRRRRFor the life of me, I cannot figure out what I need to do to eliminate this problem!I know that's not helping you, but just wanted to commiserate with you. LOLList your ingredients and measurements though, and maybe someone can help ya.Edited to add: I've lowered the oils, added more ewax, etc. and STILL having problems. It sucks cuz this cream is AWESOME on the skin, just ugly after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I specialize in lotion making and have been doing it for years. You need to list your ratio's and ingredients and we might be able to help. There are huge differences in an all Olive and opposed to a Sweet Almond/Avocado etc oil mixture. Your FO could also be the culprit as well as your preservative. Are you using Grapessed, Phenonip?Again having your listing of ingredients would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
