How to Make HANDMADE BEESWAX LOTION
Rate: (19 Ratings)
The process of making body lotion is actually fairly easy. First off you will need to gather your lotion making supplies that include the following: an emulsifying wax, oil, water, and a fragrance. Nothing compares to the feel of handmade lotion!
Step one: The first step in making body lotion is to mix your oils and water in with your emulsifying wax. This will create the base of your lotion. The emulsifying wax is what keeps the water and oils from separating. Do this by melting the oil and the wax in a double boiler.
Step two: The second step in making body lotion is to add your essential oils or fragrance oils. Essential oils will make your body lotion scented and can provide aromatherapy effects. Fragrance oils can also be used to give your lotion a nice scent.
Step three: The third step is OPTIONAL, but can add a nice touch to your lotion. I prefer the color of un-pigmented lotion, but I thought I would include this step for those of you that like a little color. in making body lotion is to add your colorants. These colorants can be from a laboratory or they can come from natural sources. If you plan on marketing your handmade skin care products as natural skin care products then you will want to use natural coloring agents like paprika, mica, or oxides.
