32 Potent, Practical Lotion Recipes Anthony Boundy

Are you intimidated by the prospects of making your own DIY lotion recipes? This book offers simple but luxurious homemade lotions you can create in your kitchen. They are much healthier for you than the chemical-laden products you find in stores - even in the more expensive stores. You'll find a variety of recipe types here. Pick one with fewer ingredients and a short prep time, to get you started on the process, if you've never made lotion before. Once you "get" the basics, you could even formulate your own recipe! The amounts are sometimes tricky on lotion recipes. Knowing how much water, emulsifiers and oil are needed will help you to create a lotion that is stable. But you can play with your recipes as much as you want, until it has the precise fragrance and consistency you want. Lotions are made by combining water and emulsifiers with oils. The texture is dependent on the proportions you use of each ingredient and what type of oils and emulsifiers you include. Other ingredients, like thickeners and glycerin, can be added, too.
