LynnS Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I saw where Alabaster has a multi base.With this you can do lotions,creams, body milk or body mists. Just add warm water for what you want to make.Like for cream 1 lb of water and so forth.Has anyone tried this??? The cost is only $4.99 for a lb of multi base and then use warm water.Sounds reasonable and simple to me.Of course add FO is wanted.Any help or anything someone can add???We have well water so I might want to use bottled water(although I read no difference in the 2). Just seems reasonable and simple and not alot of weight to up the shipping cost. A gallon of lotion to ship can be costly.ThanksLynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starr Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I've tried a multi-base from a different site and made bath milk out of it. I've had it sitting around for several weeks now because of course, I don't often take a soak in the tub. I'll say that the recipe was very easy and it worked exactly as I was told it would. I've got a new tester who's willing to try it out for me and I'm *crossing my fingers* for a rave review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnS Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 So far sounds good.Seems simple.I use the base for lotion but those gallons are expensive.Some of them you have to use so many things to mix etc. One sounded good but I would have to use a double boiler. One base I used the recommended amount of FO but I didn't think the scent was strong enough. If I would have added more FO I was told the lotion base could get runny. Just looking for something more reasonable and less work. I don't sell much lotion but if I had different bases people are familiar with I might.Just to say body lotion might not get it.But cocoa butter, shea butter and the others I may finally get some buyers. I have a few local companies near me. Will check to see ifthey have the multi base.I am thinking 1 company might but not sure if they have a choice like plain shea,cocoa etc. Thank You,Angel and StarrLynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
