mystical_angel1219 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I'll share these with you. These are scratch recipes. If you are going to add butters or oils to a base, I would highly recommend adding a preservative.http://www.thesage.com/recipes/recipes.php3?.State=ListRecipes&cat=Lotionshttp://www.todieforsoap.com/emulsions.htmhttp://www.soapdishforum.com/forum/index.php?showforum=11http://www.the-whisk.us/forum/viewforum.php?f=20&sid=3bfb10307b0aeffca23da072b301ea37http://www.candleandsoapstuff.com/recipe_body.html#lotionsBath and Body FO Measuring Chart for Bases:http://www.candlesupply.com/BBfochart.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairy_Light Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I have to say if you have the option to make it from scratch do so it's soo much better when you know exactly what's in your lotion and how to put it all together. The links above are great give them a shot.HUGS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luverpup36 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 This is a recipe that I got off the board a while back. I did not write down who posted it originally, They called it Autumn Delight and used for the FO 10 drops Woodland FO and 5 each of Orange & Tangerine FOI made this over the weekend, and it was so easy! I made one batch with Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin and one with Lavendar VanillaI made this over the weekend, and it was so easy! 1/2 c distilled water1/4 tsp borax1/3 cup mineral oil2 tsp cocoa butter1 T grated beeswax15-20 drops FOBoil water in a saucepan and add borax, stirring until completely dissolved. Keep mixture on lowest heat. Over low heat in another saucepan heat mineral oil, beeswax and cocoa butter until butter and wax are melted. Pour oil mixture into a bowl. Very slowly drizzle water mixture into the oil mixturestirring constantly with a wire whisk. Continue stirring until cream is room temperature ( 10-20 minutes) Stir in fragrance oils.BrendaHey! any of you B&B Diva's care to answer this question. since this is the original recipe that was posted before and it did not list anything else as an additive, Does this need a preservative added to it since there is distilled water in the recipe ?
