Now that I made my first test lotion batch and I tried using funnel to pack the lotion into a bottle with a pump closure. It took me forever and made a mess. There got to be a better way to fill lotion (not runny enough but not as thick as cream) into a bottle. Any advise?

Some use a ziplock baggie and cut the corner out and squeeze it into the bottle...

..
I am sure some other suggestions will come along....

I pour it into bottles while it is still warm as well.

Never thought of using zip lock bag, good to know it can be done cheap. I'm making small batches and mixture gets cooled down faster than I imagined, makes it hard to pour.

Thanks.

I use a cake decorating frosting bag with a round tip. Works well for small batches, but cleaning the bag is still a bit of a pain.

Ziplock, all the way. There is very little waste this way, too! Just run the bag across a "corner" like the edge of a table and it squeezes a BUNCH of lotion toward the opening.

Use a lil teeny snip. Teeny. TEENY. You can always cut more off.
