"Hi! I have 2 5 gallon buckets that I believe are coming up on their 2 year shelf life mark. I do not intend to sell any of this base however, I would like to make some gift baskets for some family and friends. It has been stored in a cool, dark basement. I understand I cannot sell it but am I okay to gift lotion made from this base if it is close or a little over the expiration date? Thanks!!!! "

"How can I thin this base to make it easier to use in a pump bottle? "

Click Here To View 1 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer We do not recommend thinning out this lotion. Adding water to the base will require additional preservatives and can cause the emulsified lotion to separate. This lotion does work with our 24/410 Saddle Pump tops.

"My customers love this product. However, because of the thickness, they have a hard time pumping it out of the bottom of the bottle. I use your bottles and your regular pumps. Do you have any suggestions? I use your jars as well, but some of my customers want a pump. Thanks you."

Staff Answer Any type of lotion is hard to get out of the bottom of a bottle. Unfortunately, we do not believe there is anything you can do but turn the bottle upside down and remove the pump to get at the lotion. The bottle can also be placed in hot water to get the remaining lotion to pour out of the bottom. This can then be put into a small jar.

"Does (1)5-gallon bucket and (5)1-gallon buckets hold the exact same amount of Satin & Silk Lotion Base? Why is the price so different?"

Click Here To View 1 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Both quantities hold the same amount of lotion. The 5 gallon bucket is more expensive because of the cost of the larger bucket.

"Is this product considered Vegan? Also can I add more butters such as coffee butter to make my own coffee body butter ? Thank you so much . "

Click Here To View 1 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer This lotion does contain Hydrolyzed Silk which comes from the silk worm. Many would not consider that to be vegan. We would not recommend adding additional butters to this lotion as it may break down the emulsification of the lotion.

"I am heating this lotion to about 110F before scenting & filling bottles. I use a plastic ziplock bag with a bottom corner clipped. This method works well, but I'm getting bubbles that persist in the finished bottles. I would like to fill with a thinner product. What temperature can I heat it to without compromising the preservative?"

"As this product begins to cool, can I whip it to make it fluffier, or does it just go back to its original consistency?"

Staff Answer Hi Kimberly, This product will not inflate by whipping. If you choose to try and whip the lotion, I would recommend adding an anti-oxidant.

"Ingredients Question: Your description in Additional Information says this lotion contains Coconut Oils, but the Ingredients Listing does NOT include Coconut Oils. Does this produce contain Coconut Oils?"

Click Here To View 1 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteareth 20 and Caprylic/Capric Glycerides are all derived from coconut oil. We recommend researching the ingredients in a product so that you can better understand the products you are using.

"Hello. I have a question regarding the ingredients listing for a product I am making. This lotion base lists both Sunflower Oil and Aloe Barbadensis. I am adding a tiny amount of your botanical blend in lieu of fragrance or essential oils. That product's ingredients lists Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Extract and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract. Do I need to list all four separately or are the extracts considered part of the whole?"

Click Here To View 1 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer All four ingredients should be listed separately. The two extracts can be added on at the end of your INCI list.

"Satin and Silk Lotion Base 5 gallon"

COMMENTS:  I still haven't mastered lotion making yet, so I have used bases since deciding to offer lotions in my line. This base was an immediate hit with my customers. They (like me) love the fact that it is 97% natural and is not short on skin loving ingredients. The creamy and thick consistency is a wonderful moisturizing alternative for customers who find body butters too heavy. And a little goes a long way. I also like the ease of use and that the base takes fragrances well. It's a little pricey, but definitely worth it.

"Perfection in a 5-gallon bucket"

COMMENTS:  This was just delivered this morning and I couldn't wait to start working with this lotion base. It takes scent well and is the perfect blend of soft and silky, absorbs into skin well without leaving a residue (greasy or otherwise), and is easy to work with. I am going to use this more for lotions and feel my customers are going to love this. Thanks WSP for another great product.

"Wow! This lotion converted me!"

COMMENTS:  I avoided lotions/creams personally because they never hit that perfect level between evaporating to nothing or being too heavy and leaving my skin sticky. THIS LOTION CONVERTED ME! This lotion has been a staple of my product line ever since. Very silky, mosturizes well, and is non-sticky. Thanks WSP!

"Smooth lotion"

COMMENTS:  I purchased this five gallon bucket without testing the product first. I was not disappointed. The large bucket although difficult to handle due to the weight was easy to open. I purchased the opening device from a local hardware store. This device made opening it easy. I would not want to try to open it without the device. The lotion was thick and creamy. It absorbed into the skin without leaving any residue on the skin. The lotion took fragrance oil and maintained the scent over an extended period of time. The cream was very thick and is slightly thinner than the silky body butter. The feel on the skin was comparable to high end products. I will purchase this again. I later discovered that the opening device is actually sold on the WSP website.

WSP Response: Thanks for the great review! For future reference, the Pail Opener can be found under the Bath & Body heading and then under the Tools & Safety Equipment category :)

"Awesome Cream"

COMMENTS:  I've tried many cream bases and this one is the best. I receive lots of great reviews from customers. The nice thing about this base, is it is VERY thick. You can use it thick, or add water and appropriate preservative and thin it to a heavy lotion or thinner lotion. The Shea butter adds a nice touch of moisturizing.
