jenniejr Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I made some lotion and it is too thin! I know adding stearic acid to it will thicken it up. My Question: How do you add the stearic?TIAJennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 You can't add stearic once it's made.. Make another batch, add a small percentage of stearic, add it to your e-wax for it to melt! Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paisley Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Although I've never added stearic after combining the water and oil phases, I'm not sure if this will actually work......I'd just melt the stearic in a little carrier oil (or maybe just melt the stearic by itself??) and add it to the lotion. Let me know how it works out for you!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
