"Love the lotion, but not the fragrance"

COMMENTS: First off, I think it’s important to mention that I am a total newbie to lotion making. I took the first step with this kit. I seem to have sensitivities to many products and have wasted a lot of money over the years trying to find the right products for the right seasons. The aloe butter and colloidal oatmeal in this emulsified lotion were appealing because I generally have some luck with products that contain colloidal oatmeal, but then find that they are not quite moisturizing enough, especially in the winter. The kit was easy to use and I’m very happy with the way the finished lotion feels on my skin. I generally use unscented products and would have left the fragrance out of this recipe, but I was concerned that leaving it out would change the chemistry or the consistency of the final product. I consider the fragrance to be strong in the final product and I can smell it on my hands even after washing them. It’s an issue I considered before buying the kit, so I am still giving it 5 stars. My early opinion is that this lotion recipe would work well for me without the fragrance oil if it’s possible to make it that way without compromising the recipe. If you can advise me on that aspect, I will likely try it again. The only thing I would add is that some directives on temperatures for the water and melted waxes would be helpful in the instructions.

"Love this kit!"

COMMENTS: This lotion was easy to make and turned out great! I substituted the fragrance for a holiday scent. Smells fabulous. I have a show this weekend, so I'll see what others think...But I give it 5 stars (*****)! Just be aware that it is supposed to sit overnight before bottling. I almost waited to late to make it for my show because I didn't see that instruction!

"Love this lotion kit"

COMMENTS: I only offer lotions and scrubs to compliment my cold processed soap line. This kit is similar to what I'd want in a lotion if I formulated it myself. In the future, I will be ordering the ingredients separate to make this in bulk and offer a few additional fragrance choices for my customers. I wish I'd known how fabulous this was and how much of a hit it has been or I'd have made it when I bought it eons ago. Cannot wait to make more! I did not use the caps that came with this kit ... I happened to have pumps on hand and used those instead. Giving it a 5* because the things I would change are just personal preference.

"Thick"

COMMENTS: I made this lotion and found it to be very thick. It is so thick I find it difficult to get out of the bottles provided. I do love the feel of the lotion and I like the fragrance. It is a light and gentle fragrance, but pleasant. There were a lot of ingredients which required a lot of measuring...so it takes some time to put this lotion together.

	"Soft lotion that's easy to put together"
COMMENTS: I only make these products as a home hobby for myself and gift-giving. I bought this lotion kit to make some "girlfriend" Christmas gifts. The kit made sense as it saves significantly off the price of individually buying each item for this small batch. My batch made about 68 ounces, slightly over the 8 bottles included, which was very nice. The caramel woods fragrance is pleasant, even for someone like me who is not normally fond of vanilla based scents. The only problem I had with the instructions was the definition of "thickened" in the combining phase. I wasn't sure whether I was going for a soft peak stage or something else. Turned out to be something else I call "scrambled egg" (that thickness you feel when you beat the eggs to make scrambled eggs). Otherwise, the formula was easy to put together. I bottled using a large piping bag which worked well, although patience is required to get the last inch of product into the bottles. My kit inadvertently sent the wrong sized caps, but an email to customer service righted that problem. The finished lotion is nicely thick and creamy, but dispenses from the bottle well. It performs very nicely, leaving my hands soft and moisturized for several hours, where I don't feel like I have to put more on every hour. I would make this again using any of my favorite fragrances.

COMMENTS: I like to try a lot of things. This year my daughter got involved in the process. (she is 25). We made two of these kits yesterday. They are great! The lotion goes on smooth, does not leave a residue and is non greasy. In comparison studies, much better than the lotion from B & BW! I hate putting lotion on my legs and putting on pants when it is still greasy...eww...This applies easily and absorbs nicely...no stickiness.
