lindanelson Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I just started to make lotion/cream and soap to sell. The lotion starts with a boughten base, then I add shea butter, jojoba oil, coconut oil, stearic acid, color, and fragrance oil. Also a little preservative...just because I know I've went over the allowed additives for the preservative in the lotion base.I've been making bath and body products for myself for 3 years. I've learned alot in that time.Sometimes not all of them are added to the same batch.The soap is a low sweat cp like mp. I add coconut oil and stearic acid, coloring and fragrance oil. Lots of creamy lather. Even the clear base lathers really well.It was total accident on the color of the lotion matching the cap on the bottle. I did write down how much of what I put in...so I can duplicate it.It's a good thing these are for the girls at the bank...I forgot to put the nt.wt. on the label. Gotta fix that for next time.Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Very nice! Add some bath salts and wash cloth and you have a great gift basket. I seem to have gift baskets on the brain today. Digit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
