How To Make Luxurious Skin Lotions The Easy Way Did you know that most commercial lotions are made with petroleum based products? Even many of the expensive products use mineral oil and other petroleum based products. Imagine how much better it would be for your skin to use natural ingredients like cocoa butter, shea butter, jojoba oil, coconut oil, mink oil, and emu oil. These ingredients are known to have special properties that nourish your skin.
There a few INDY crafters who are making wonderful skin-loving, nourishing lotions with these types of ingredients and they have devoted followers who have come to realize the value of these handcrafted creams and lotions. If you aren’t lucky enough to have such a crafter nearby, you may be able to find products like these online through Etsy. If you’d rather not pay shipping, or if you don’t want to order sight unseen, you DO have another option. You can make it yourself! If you can bake a cake, or make a cream sauce, you can make lotion. Actually, making lotion, is WAY easier for me than making cream sauce, or any kind of sauce or gravy for that matter :).
The art of making soap has experienced a tremendous resurgence in popularity, becoming one of the fastest growing hobbies around. As hobbyists experience the benefits of handmade soap and see the condition of their skin improve with regular use, many begin to think about other handmade products they could make that would improve the condition of their skin even more. Many start to think about making creams and lotions with the same high quality oils that they use in their soap-making endeavors. Unfortunately, too many hobbyists are intimidated by unfamiliar terms like HLB, oil-in-water emulsions vs. water-in-oil, and just don’t really know where to start.
While there are many, many books available on making soap, there is a lack of information on making creams and lotions. The purpose of this book is to fill that gap and to encourage those who are interested in making quality lotions and creams.
In this ebook, I provide information about these terms, information about the ingredients that you will need, and the equipment that you will need. Sources are provided for hard-to-find ingredients. Also included is my tried and true lotion recipe, developed after much trial and error. This is my recipe of choice whether I am making lotion to give as gifts to friends and family, or making it for resale. It took me a long time to tweak my recipe to get exactly the right feel. This lotion is light and creamy. It is absorbed into the skin quickly and does not leave you with a greasy feel, yet because of the oils chosen, it leaves your skin soft and moisturized.
Colorful photos will guide you through each step of the process. You can purchase this ebook now through PayPal and access it immediately. As soon as you have your ingredients, you’ll be ready to go. If you’re a soapmaker already, you probably already have many of the things you will need. You can easily find any additional supplies using the included list of suppliers, or to make things really easy, you can order a kit with all of the ingredients that you will need.
