"I allowed the base and additives to come back to room temp, then placed the lids on their jars. They are sweating around the rim - any idea why? I uncapped them to allow them to dry and I'm noticing any gaps I can see around the jar have what looks like condensation. Could I have capped them too soon? Thanks! "

Click Here To View 1 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Even though the lotion may have seemed cool to the touch, it may still have been warm on the inside. This is probably the reason why there is condensation forming on the inside of the jar. With a sterile spoon, stir the lotion in the jars and let completely cool before placing the lids on. Also, wipe down the lids and rims of the jars with alcohol and let dry.

"Since the base cream is rather like jelly we need it to be thinner but not as thin as a lotion. Directions say to heat to 120 and then add additives and let cool. How long does it take to heat a gallon approx? And how long and what temperature to still maintain a thick lotion but not jelly like?"

Click Here To View 1 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer This lotion is a thinner lotion for the face, we do not think it has a jelly consistency. It is recommended to heat and then add additives because this helps to thin the lotion to make it easier to pour into bottles. It will thicken back up once it has cooled. It is not mandatory that you heat this, though. We cannot give you an amount of time it takes to heat a full gallon. This would depend on how you are heating, microwave, stove top, etc.

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer We love this base, too! You can add both a fixed oil and also straight fragrance. If using as a baby cream, though, we recommend either no fragrance or a hydrosol which would be gentler on baby's skin. Be careful not to add more than 5% additional additives as this will dilute the current preservative system.

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer If you look at the rim that goes around the lid, you will see about 6 holes or slots that are either open or almost see-through. Take a screwdriver and break open the plastic piece underneath that open space. Or, you can use scissors to cut the plastic. Once all the slots have been opened, move the plastic between each slot back and forth until you hear it crack. Then, you should be able to remove the lid. This lid ensures it does not come off during shipping.

The IFRA Maximum Exposure Level for this oil is 5% so that would be the most you can add for a face cream. Be careful when making claims for acne, this would be considered a drug and would need FDA approval before selling.

Staff Answer Yes, you can use a mica powder for this lotion. You would need to test to see how much you want to add to get the shade you are looking for.

"It is recommended not to add water and such to this lotion but what about the Lavender Face Cream that is a recipe using this base? Why is that okay then?"

Click Here To View 1 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer We do not recommend adding water to a lotion base to thin it out because most people add more that 5% which may break the emulsion of the base and cause separation over time. Also, adding more than 5% water requires additional preservative to prevent bacterial growth. Our Lavender Face Cream uses 3% Lavender Water Hydrosol which is below the allowable 5% liquid additives for our lotion bases.

Staff Answer When adding powders to any lotion base you should first heat a small portion of your lotion then whisk in your powder additive. Next you will then incorporate your mixture into your full batch. The maximum recommended additives any lotion can accept is 6% including fragrance.

I would recommend heating slightly to thin out the lotion to make it easier to pour into bottles. As long as it is not heated over 140°, the lotion will not be compromised. Double boiler method is preferred. A microwave tends to heat unevenly.

Yes it can. Just be sure to list all the ingredients on the label (if selling or giving away). Despite how gentle a product is, some folks still may have specific allergies to an ingredient.

Staff Answer Per our 'Additional Information' tab, since this lotion is of average consistency, we recommend either bottles or tottles as containers for this lotion.

You can use either. It may be easier to get into a jar, since it has a wide mouth opening and the lotion can be thick. But many people will warm the cream slightly and either pour from a glass measuring cup, through a funnel, or by snipping the end of a ziplock baggie off. Hope this helps!

Unless this is for home use, you would be making a sunscreen claim, and your formulation would therefore need to be tested and verified.
