Hello everybody! I am super thrilled to be sharing this video with you! I have been wanting to share this with you for quite some time now, and now is that time! In this video, I share with you my process step by step. Handmade lotions are awesome because they are easy to make, and great for the skin. When you make your own lotion you are in charge of exactly what goes in it and there are no weird ingredients! You will love this lotion. I will be sharing this recipe plus a full written tutorial on my patreon page found here:

It is the work of skincare brand owners. They are always afraid of competition when someone kind like you is showing the whole world how to make lotion.

1: At what point do you add in your powders (carrot, moringa e.t.c) and glycerin 2: can I use a hand mixer if I’ve not got a stick blender?

@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany 3 жыл бұрын

@@ninahart7879 these would be considered your cool down ingredients and you would add them in with the preservative once your lotion has reached around 100 degrees F. I have never tried a hand mixer but I bet it would work fine.

This is basically the same as my lotion receipe, I use Sunflower oil instead of Almond though, just in case my customers might be allergic. My lotion is one of my best sellers 😊 Just a tip to new makers, I pipe my lotion into my bottles when it's completely cold, that way I don't get any condensation forming 😊
