Yes Louise - when you finally make a good lotion - it is a fantastic feeling. Even better than making a good soap!

Thanks Liz You always have so much info to share - much appreciated. I've been using my lotion and loving it (especially since swimming is so drying on skin) only thing is because I used so much eos I don't put it onmy face but body is OK. I'll be making another batch this weekend just formy face.It's amazing - I feel so proud and feel like I have accomplished so much by making lotion (something I've wanted to do since I was about 14). I've beentelling everyone I know. Happy, happy happy! Cheers Louise on 24/5/10 6:27 PM, Liz Brook at liz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote:Hi Louise, I use 1% for face and 2% for body 3% for feet.

Had serious problems withicing a cake today because of coldness as well. Gina your new emulsifier was absolutely fabulous - I used the formula in the "Soap naturally" book for the lotion as it weighed everything and I couldn't understand MY notes re your lotion. I'll be ordering more of the emulsifier from you it really does work well - congrats little smarty pants!What proportion of eos does everyone use for lotions/moisturiser? I thinkI might have added too much eos.
