rae_g Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I got a huge order of lotion base delivered to my porch and it froze. I didn't realize until now that it having frozen could be a huge disaster. It's a bad consistency now, kind of chunky, and doesn't get better when it's mixed up or rubbed into the skin.I have a HUGE order I need to get out on Monday, and 12 gallons of lotion I can't afford to replace even if I did have time. Is there anything I can do to get this lotion back to a good consistency? Would heating it up do any good?I contacted my supplier (it's WSP goat's milk) but since it's the week-end I don't know if I'll get a response in time.Any help is greatly appreciated! I'm freaking out more than a little bit right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 is it still cold? i dont know much about lotion, but you could try putting the whole bottle in warm water and see if that helps. after it warms up a little, stir it up a little and see how it looks.

Pam W Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I'd probably heat it up a bit and whip the heck out of it with my stick blender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 contact the vendor before you mess with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van_yulay Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Well. You can try to whip it in the blender, but I don't think that is going to help. If you reheat it, it will kill the preservative. But that is how you get it smooth again. Which you probably don't have any presevatives to add again. Call your supplier tomorrow and tell them it came frozen. They might replace it. If they dont' you can send it to me and I can fix it for you, for a small fee of the preseverative.

Jadryga Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Careful, might screw up the preservative when you heat it. I'd go with carebear's advice and contact the vendor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rae_g Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 Thanks for the responses! WSP did get back to me, thank goodness. She said that heating it should get it back to normal, but so far it's not there yet. I don't want to try much heat because of the preservative issue, but sitting in a sink full of hot water isn't quite doing it yet, and I have 12 gallons to do this with. Ugh.

Jadryga Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Maybe use a stick blender while you're warming it to speed things up a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockmonkey Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 If your sink isn't real deep you might consider a bathtub full of hot water. That way you can probably get most of them in the tub at one time, submerging them in deeper water and possibly generate more heat by leaving the door closed (kind of like a sauna effect).
