ALL NATURAL LOTION BASE FOR MAKING HAND LOTION, BODY LOTIONS & CREAMS
What is our All Natural Lotion Base?
|
Our All Natural Lotion Base is what body lotions, hand lotions, hand creams and body butter is made from. The Lotion Base is a thick paste that contains very little water. You blend the water into it so you control the thickness of the finished product. You can make your lotions and creams as thick or as thin as you want. You can even make body milks and body mists with it.
|
Why would I want a Natural Lotion Base?
|
When you purchase a premixed lotion base, it contains quite a bit of water. Water is heavy and that extra weight means higher shipping costs. Eliminate the water and you save on shipping - which means a better profit from your finished product.
|
What is my cost per pound of finished product?
|
See the table below for examples of the cost per pound for the different products.
|
Is it hard to make?
|
It's very easy to make. Simply blend warm distilled water with the Lotion Base using a hand or paddle mixer. When you're satisfied with the consistency, add some fragrance oil and colorant.
|
Are there instructions on how to make the lotion?
|
A complete set of instructions is listed below. The instructions we've provided are meant only as a guide. You can be as creative as you want and make your own special blends of lotions and creams.
