lotion/hand cream

[chrisasst]

ok, I am venturing into the land of body products....

What is the difference between hand lotion and hand cream?

I ordered Goat Milk & Honey Lotion, but not sure how I should package it. I did a search here and I am still confused. I have in stock right now are Hdpe cylinders. I ordered a couple pumps to test and I inserted the pump into the cylinder while the base was liquid and when I tried to pump nothing came out. I had to pound it on the counter to settle it then it worked..

question 1...should I wait to insert the pump into it after it re hardens?

2...what other bottles could I use?

3...which is better, pumps or Disc tops or something else

To me a lotion is more thin and in a bottle. A cream is thick and in a jar. The "top" is a personal preference. I prefer disc tops

I don't make it I just buy it from people here but as a consumer I like the 8oz boston round bottles with a pump and the 4oz flat squeeze bottles for my purse. HTH
