Pepperi Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 I use this great lotion base from essential by catalina. I love the smell of cocoa butter so I add some like .25oz to a 4 oz bottle. My friends tried some after swimming one day and loved it. I know the usual is 1% but is that for the gallon size?? Can I use that amount in 4 oz and sell it without going over on the preservative??

Beth-VT Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 1% is 1%, no matter the size you're mixing up. If you use the roughly 6% you mention, you run the risk of ruining the preservative factor already built into the base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel91805 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I would email EBC and ask them. Some bases, from some suppliers, have a bit of play room added in for added goodies. When I emailed The Candlemaker's Store about one of their bases they said I could add up to 50% other goodies without affecting the preservative.It never hurts to ask!Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
