QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
Can i freeze portions of this for later use, to extend shelf life?
Hello!
We do not recommend freezing your lotion! We believe it may compromise the preservative that the lotion base has.
-
What type of colorant do you recommend and much is safe to add.
Hello,
The colorants you can use are liquid colors and the micas! We generally recommend mixing the mica with a bit of a liquid oil so it disperses easily in your lotion! If you rather not use that method than the liquid colors would be the best option! Liquid colors are suspended in glycerin and are a liquid dye which is also a good safe option for lotion! -
Can this lotion base be used to make body butters?
Hello,
Yes this is a perfect place to begin! We recommend Picking your preferred base and adding a very minimum amount of distilled water for example 10oz. We specify on how warm this distilled water must be. Once you've mixed the base and distilled water you will notice it is very thick the more you whip it the fluffier it gets! Technically body butters do not contain any water but this specific product feels and nourishes just like one! You can even add actual butters to your base! We recommend adding approximately 3-4oz of your preferred butters to this base if you are planning on adding additional butters!We hope this helps!

Can this be blended with hydrosols like Rose water instead of distilled water?
Hello,
We don't suggest the substitution of water for hydrosols or rose water, but that being said we have not tested this ourselves. We do advise if you choose to try this on your own to use a small amount of lotion and substitution liquid in a very small batch. Proceed with caution. We aren't to sure how filtered some hydrosols are and if a piece of flower or herb enters the lotion base even with the preservative there is a chance of molding.
We hope this helped! -
Do you not have to add more preservative to the product once you put in water and additives?
Hello,
There is preservative already incorporated into our bases. There is enough preservative to cover up to 50oz of water. Once you add more than 50oz of water we recommend you add preservative at 1% of the extra water you do add! Don't worry we do provide instructions in your order!
We hope this helps!
