Looking for an easy lotion recipe

[Guest guest]

A friend of mine is trying to make a lotion using shea butter and herb infused

olive oil and is not sure how to go about it. Does anyone have an easy recipe

for this?

 

Thanks in advance!

Any formula for lotion will work.

Butters and oils (infused with herbs or not) + water + emulsifier +

preservative. (+other ingredients or not)

If you need lotion formulas there are plenty of them on the web.

Try the herbarie, lotion crafter, snowdrift farms, the sage, from nature

with love

Here's a basic lotion recipe I picked up on the internet somewhere.

 

Basic Body Lotion

 

Phase I / Water

76% Distilled Water

• 2% Glycerin

 

Phase II / Oils

• 2% Stearic Acid

• 5% Emulsifying Wax NF

• 9% Oils of Choice

• 4% Butters of Choice

 

Phase III / Preservative

• 1% Preservative of choice

• 1% Fragrance/Essential Oils

 

Instructions:

 

Sterilize your equipment.

Heat water and oils separately. Heat to 176 degrees and hold for 20

minutes.

Try to leave the lid on, as the water will evaporate. In a separate pot,

heat additional water and hold for 20 minutes.

Now weigh the original container and add the extra distilled water to

make up for any of the lost water due to evaporation.

 

When both phases are at 176 degrees pour the Oil into the Water. Pour

slowly and while the mixer is stirring your batch. Continue stirring

till the mixture reaches 110 degrees.

 

When the mixture reaches 110 degrees, add the final phase. Continue

stirring and once cooled, add to your containers.
