candlemama Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I'm almost out of my homemade goat's milk cream (used a kit from LotionCrafter) and have decided to go the lotion/cream base route this time. I love the cream I made, but it's a PITA and I'd rather make soap! By researching the other threads, I've narrowed my selection down to four. This is for personal use only for me, hubby and my boys. I don't sell anything.If you've tried any of these bases, which do you like?WSP GM & Honey Lotion Base: http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/ProductDetail.aspx?CatalogID=2&GroupID=332&CategoryID=832&ProductID=3273&ProductName=Crafters+Choice%e2%84%a2+Goat+Milk+%26+Honey+LotionEBC Whipped Body Frosting Base or A, C, & E Lotion Base:http://www.essentialsbycatalina.com/shop/shopexd.asp?id=885http://www.essentialsbycatalina.com/shop/shopexd.asp?id=672Aquatech Omega-3 Hemp Lotion Base:http://www.aquatech-skincare.com/htmls/Omega-3-Hemp-Body-Lotion.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousBoutique Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I havent tried any of those but I've heard great things about EBC, and I know a few people who use their bases and swear by them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFCbrooke Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I don't use it myself but was sent some in a swap - it is very nice - leaves a powdery dry feeling NOT greasyhttp://www.essentialsbycatalina.com/shop/shopexd.asp?id=672 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerywren Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 (edited) I don't use it myself but was sent some in a swap - it is very nice - leaves a powdery dry feeling NOT greasyhttp://www.essentialsbycatalina.com/shop/shopexd.asp?id=672The WSP Goat Milk and Honey lotion is the same way. Huge seller for me. I have one account (a hair salon) that only carries that lotion. Occasionally she'll get some lip balms, but she's gotta have my lotion.

bugtussle Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 GM&H by WSP for me. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micayla75 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I use the WSP and the ECB Whipped Body Frosting...they feel very different from each other.The WSP leaves a silky feel after and the Whipped Body Frosting leaves a moisturizing feel. It is not overly greasy though. I do add some other oils to the Whipped Body Frosting as well.I think they are both great bases! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) The regular EBC whipped body frosting is very plastic-y to me. It does soak in but I don't like the feel going on. The ingredient list is a turn-off as well.The regular (http://www.essentialsbycatalina.com/shop/shopexd.asp?id=353&bc=no) : Deionized water, Cetearyl Alcohol & Cetearth-10, Glyceryl Monostearate, Isopropyl Palmitate, Aloe Vera, Triethanolamine, Tetrasodium EDTA, Methyl Paraben, Propyl ParabenThey have a paraben free one as well (http://www.essentialsbycatalina.com/shop/shopexd.asp?id=885&bc=no), which has a very different ingredient list, haven't tried it: Deionized Water, Safflower Oil, Cocoa Butter*, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Stearic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Dimethicone, Cetyl Alcohol, Shea Butter*, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Chamomile) Extract, Lavendula Angustufolia (Lavender) Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E Acetate), Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A Palmitate), Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C Palmitate), Allantoin, Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5), Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hexylene Glycol,Fragrance, Colorant I use Aquatech Hemp and LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. Rave reviews. Edited July 14, 2010 by CareBear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWickedWick Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I too have been looking for a really good lotion base and just ordered the Omega 3-Hemp lotion base from Aquatech. Loved I could pronounce all the ingredients!Carebear...guess I should have asked this before I ordered but I'm assuming this can go in a pump type bottle. Also, no greasy feel?Excited to be trying it..have heard so many good things about their products.Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I have tried all of those listed and really loved the Aqua Tech the best. My skin loved it. Just remember a little goes a long way, too much and you will be geasy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy/WI Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I used the GM&H from WSP for a few years and I liked it a lot but wanted to try something else. I just got the Hemp Lotion from Aquatech in today. I haven't scented it yet but did use some on my hands & arms and I think I'm going to like this a lot better. Soaks right in and no greasy feel at all. HTHI'm almost out of my homemade goat's milk cream (used a kit from LotionCrafter) and have decided to go the lotion/cream base route this time.

jennyjo Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I love WSP also. My mil cant live without it. sells well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlemama Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 Well, I've decided to give Aquatech hemp lotion a try. Just placed an order. I also like that I can pronounce all the ingredients and that I didn't need a dictionary to figure out what everything is! Also, the description on the website said the ingredients are known to help with eczema, which my son has. It was a tough decision, though, since all of the bases seem to be so popular. I will post my review of the lotion when I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWickedWick Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I ordered it too..the Hemp Lotion....should be here hopefully early next week...so excited. Hope this will be my signature lotion!Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwantItgreen Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Just wondering how you're liking Aqua-tech's hemp lotion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Another vote here for WSP Goat's Milk & Honey base. I have tried Aquatech's Hemp lotion but I much prefer GM&H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauramw71 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I have the WSP GMH lotion, and Aquatech. They are so different that I can have both. The WSP lotion leaves a powdery feel (which I do NOT like, but so many others do), and the Aquatech is more moisturizing. I ADORE the Aquatech. I haven't ordered it since they cut out the included s/h. I am at a crossroads because now it's going to cost over $40 for the gallon. I adore it so I REALLY want it even if just for myself, but that cost is painful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waxandwhimsy Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I have used and loved WSP GM&H. I decided to try the GM from Candlemaker's Store just to see - I really like this stuff. It glides on - no sticky "after feel" and the price is pretty good, too.....now it will be tough to decide which one my customers prefer.....

Dolphin146 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I love the EBC body frosting. It is one of my best sellers and one of my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
