Made with Shea Butter.
Silk Lotion Base w/ Shea Butter - Great Powder-like after feel - This body lotion is wonderful. It leaves a slight powdery after feel to the skin. Your skin is not left with a sticky residue. This lotion does not contain mineral oil which may be important to some customers.
Supplied in 1 gallon pails. Easily thins on low heat. Safe to microwave.
Directions Add .5-1% fragrance (0.5% = 1/2 teaspoon per 16 ounces of base). If desire - then add your cosmetic (water based) color. Then pour into bottles. Heating the base will let you incorporate (mix) the fragrance better and makes for easier pouring (but do not boil). Cool product with the top off the bottle to prevent condensation. Product will rethicken upon cooling. Each fragrance reacts differently in the base. Test your formulas to ensure the desired results.
Note If your lotion does not stay white when you rub it into your skin then you have used too much color. If product thins to much then you have used too much fragrance, you may want to add a lotion thickener.
If the lotion is too thick after you add your fragrance, you can add distilled water to the base to make it thinner, if you add more than 8 ounces of distilled water per gallon you need add a preservative.
