rcrafty Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I have a lotion recipe that I put lanolin in, I love the lotion but even with fragrance in it I can still smell a hint of lanolin. Does anyone else have this problem with lanolin?Is there a way to mask the smell of it? Or can anyone suggest lanolin from somewhere that has little to no odor?

adillenal Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I also have a lotion recipe that I use lanolin in. I use the lanolin from COlumbus Foods and it does smell strong. I am guessing you are using a higher percentage than I am because I cannot detect the smell in the finished product after it sits for a week. Before that I can still smell it. Any FO or EO I use masks the scent though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Maybe something with musk or sandlewood. If you can stand them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcrafty Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 My lotion only has 1% lanolin but it has a strong odor, maybe my fragrance is too light to mask the smell...I will have to try it with a heavier fragrance. I just bought some lanolin oil to try, it does not have much of an odor so I am going to try that this weekend and compare. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
