Staff Answer We are assuming you are referring to the Lavender Water. It will likely separate in a body butter. This can easily be incorporated into any scratch lotion recipe. Simply include the amount of lavender water you want to use into the full water amount of your recipe.

Staff Answer The maximum would be 5% in this lotion. Any more would require additional preservative to be added to the base.

Staff Answer The lavender hydrosol has a very faint scent of lavender. You can choose another water based product if you wish.

Staff Answer We have not heard of this happening before. It might possibly be the walnut oil which has a shorter shelf life than others. Try adding 5 ml of Vitamin E and that should help.

Staff Answer Yes you can. Common use levels for Vitamin E are 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon per pound of base.

Staff Answer Rose Hip Seed Oil has similar benefits to the Walnut Oil. We recommend testing all substitutions in a small batch before making a larger batch for retail.
