Instructions for Bath & Body Lotion

Step 1

Clean and sanitize work area and equipment with a bleach solution (e.g. 1 tsp bleach to a 1 gallon of water) or with rubbing alcohol.

Step 2

Get all ingredients together so you do not have to leave in the middle of making your lotions.

Items Needed:

• Body Lotion Base

• Heavy duty Zip Locking Bag & Scissors
  OR Jug Pump

• Dye for Bath & Body Products

• Skin Safe Fragrance Oils

• Bottles for Finished Product

  • Oval Cosmo Bottles with Flip Top Lid (Shown)

  • Round Cosmo Bottles with Flip Top Lid

Note:  This method avoids human contact with the lotion and keeps it covered most of the time thus avoiding any airborne particles (dust) getting into the lotion.

Fill plastic bag with Body Lotion Base directly from the jug.  Be sure to weigh lotion to accurately calculate how much Skin Safe Fragrance Oil to add. 

Add Dye for Bath & Body Products a drop at a time.  Seal bag leaving as little air as possible.  Massage the bag to mix in the dye. Add more dye (if needed) to reach the desired color.

Note:  When dye is added, test to make sure it does not discolor skin.  If it does, too much dye has been added.

Note:  For fragrance use a SKIN SAFE FRAGRANCE OIL

Start with a drop at a time not to exceed .3% to .5%.  If  possible take mixture outside to smell to make sure the desired fragrance is achieved.

NOTE:

1 oz of Carolina Candle Supplies Skin Safe Fragrance Oil

1 gallon of Carolina Candle Supplies Body Lotion Base

Seal the bag securely and massage scent through the lotion - dye mixture until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

 

When ingredients are mixed, and bottles are lined up, snip a small hole in the corner of the bag.

Squeeze the lotion into the bottle. While filling periodically tap the bottle to disperse any air bubbles.
