"Confusing instructions but a good kit" COMMENTS:  The instructions for this lotion were pretty confusing as you are instructed to warm 64 oz of the lotion base, add the FO etc then pour back into the gallon just to shake. It became confusing because there is still base in the gallon jug that hasn't been warmed (64 oz isn't a gallon). I wasn't sure whether I was supposed to warm the remainder of the base? Leave it cold? I ended up making a huge mess but it worked out ok in the end. Just frustrating. PRODUCT USED IN:   Lotions, Creams & Butters THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • makes a lot of bottles of lotion • non greasy • holds scent well • provide clearer instructions

"Simply, Awesome" COMMENTS:  I loved how easy this was to put together. I've made 4 different versions of this lotion by switching out the fragrance and colorings. My customers love how light it goes on but moisturizes their skin without feeling heavy and sticky once the lotion dries. This product is simply, awesome as a basic lotion product to my product line.

"Wonderful Kit - A MUST BUY " COMMENTS:  I was unsure about this kit when I ordered it, however, the other wonderful reviews drove me to getting it and then eventually ordering two more! I did not use any color or the provided Fragrance Oil, I used the Hot CoCoa Fragrance Oil. This kit is very easy and even my mother enjoyed doing it with me. I will say that I have found when filling the bottles it makes easy filling to hold it slightly tilted and rotate it around after each pump to keep it even. Even using a digital scale to make sure the bottles had the exact amount of lotion in each, I still over filled a few after filling all the bottles I also still have enough to fill probably another 4 to 8 oz bottle! I recommend buying this kit if you are new, or just want to save money on offering a new scent as it comes with everything you need! PRODUCT USED IN:   Lotions, Creams & Butters THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • Easy to make • Came with items needed • Great instructions

"Very nice product" COMMENTS:  I used this to make an additional product in my line for craft fairs. I didn't use the FO that came with it. I used watermelon, and blueberry to have summer scents. It does take a little heating in the microwave, but really comes together well. PRODUCT USED IN:   Lotions, Creams & Butters

"Basic Lotion Making Kit " COMMENTS:  Easy to make product but if you use two large bowls you can mix up ingredients in one while warming the other, then combining the two bowls you will find that you have at least 8Oz. or more left over to use any way that you wish, highly recommended to all!!

"Excellent daily lotion" COMMENTS:  This is the perfect 'try me' kit- to let my customers give me a better feedback on what scents are preferred so I'm not stuck with shelf-sitters. I don't use the scent it comes with-I actually use the scent to make the Mechanics Scrub kit (the ladies prefer it and I label it differently). With this kit, I split it in half and use 2 other scents of choice and label the bottles accordingly. Marshmallow and vanilla buttercream are hard to keep on the shelves, and the variable sizes are great for any use. PRODUCT USED IN:   Lotions, Creams & Butters THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • Different sizes for customers. • Easy to make. • Easily accepts other FOs.

"Easy enough for beginners, people love the scent" COMMENTS:  This was my first experience with lotion making. My measurements may have been slightly off, due to losing most of my measuring tools in my last move. But the kit made it easy and the product still came out great! The directions were easy to understand, and after some mixing, shaking, pumping (and then later pulling out more bit by bit with my gloved fingers after the jug ran low and so the pump stopped working haha). I recommend filling the bottles biggest to smallest so you save time and effort. Next time, I'd like to scale the recipe down to add different scents and colors, essential oils, etc to really make it my own. It was an excellent way to start expanding my massage therapy business and adding income as I work at various summer fairs and festivals. I sold 3 my first day! Most people loved the invigorating lemongrass scent. PRODUCT USED IN:   Lotions, Creams & Butters THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • Easy to make • Smells and feels great! • Good potential for profit from the kit • Nothing really!

"I have your hemp lotion kit it turned out really too thick how can I remedy this? Thank you" Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: Hazel   |   June 13, 2018 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer If adding water to a finished lotion, you can break the emulsion and would also need additional preservative. If making the recipe again, you can either increase the water or decrease the butters and emulsifying wax. You can plug this recipe into our Percentage Calculator to see the percentage of each ingredient. A thinner lotion can have up to 80% water so you can increase this appropriately to what you want.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: June 14, 2018 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

"What kind of spoon should I use- metal or plastic? I am also wondering if I should I look for any particular spatula- metal, plastic, silicone? Thank you!" Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: Jane   |   November 11, 2015 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Hi Jane - We recommend a clean sturdy spoon or spatula. It could be metal, plastic, or silicone as long as it is strong enough to stir the lotion. Once used for making lotion or soap it should not be used for food. We recommend labeling it so it doesn't accidentally get used for food.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: November 12, 2015 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

"Can I sub the fragrance oil for essential oil? And if i did would it just be to the strength I like or is there a specific formula?" Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: Johnathan   |   February 20, 2014 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Because Essential Oils are so concentrated, we would recommend to only use about 1-2% in the Basic Lotion Base. In this recipe, that would be about 1-2 oz. of Essential Oil depending on the strength of scent you would like it to have.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: February 20, 2014 (1) Found this helpful.
