how much fo for lotion

[ajna]

it says i can do 2%-3% fo per lb of lotion and body wash. Im thinking of sticking to 3%. But i want to for two different scents with one lb of lotion. how do i cut the measurements? i dont know how much 3% is. how much fo should i use if im doing 3% to 8 oz of lotion?

I do percentages by grams. Much easier and more accurate.

Some fos at 3% will blow your socks off. Some you would be fine at.

Try it at 1% and another one at 2%, let it sit a few days to mellow and see what you think afterwards.

i use 1% in mine and its nice without being over powering and i also do it by grams its so much easier to figure it out that way

its late i can't think do you have a scale that does both ounces and grams i measure my lotion in ounces then i flip it over to grams keep in mind you have to remember how much the bowl weighs so you can deduct that from the weight so if you have say 100 grams 2% would be 2 grams 1000 would be 20 grams and so on its really not that difficult

2% of 8 oz = .16 oz You'll have to weigh it out on your scale.

If you have a calculater, just do:

8.0 X 2%(your calculater should have a % sign) & it will equal 0.16.

So weigh out .16 oz fo & add it to your 8 oz of lotion for a 2% fo load.
