deanna Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 how hard is it to make lotion? The reason I ask is because from some of the sites it doesn't look difficult at all. I would like to supplement my candle sales with lotion, too, but don't want to get in over my head. on a scale from one to 10...how hard does it have to be?Thanks!

Melly Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 It can be very simple, you can buy a lotion base, simply add fragrance ,colour and bottle it. Or you can make it from scratch, but you need to make sure you use the proper preservatives or it could grow mould. Base, simplness rating of 1. Im sure some people could recommend a nice one for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasBrat Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I buy my own bases, it doesn't look hard to me just involved and having the right ingredients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crafty1 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 i have been researching this one and have purchased samples from several, i have found that i really like WSP satin and silky lotion base. seriously considering saving myself some time and effort and moving into lotion bases.

diamondk Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I like the BCN lotion base. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 So far I am pleased with To Die Fors lotion bases. Their AHA Skin Rejuvenating Lotion Base is nice since it exfoliates while moisturizing. I need to send some out to testers to get their opinions on it. http://www.todieforsoap.com/bulkbases.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
