Welcome to the forum.

If you haven't already read Susan's Point of Interest blog, then I highly recommend starting there

Thanks! I'll check that out. On another similar topic. I just made whipped Shea butter. I can't get more than 2.2 oz in a 4 oz jar. Does it settle???

2 oz sounds about right since it's whipped. Mine stays whipped, but the staying whipped part depends a lot on what other oils you use & if you whipped your shea at room temp or if you melted it.

I went with soap queens whipped Shea butter recipe. I only melted the coconut oil. It whipped up amazingly fluffy. I scented with Brambleberry Energy scent... I call it mimosa! Yumm

I'd say the most important part is to understand how emulsification works. The HLB system is the method to use. It's not terribly difficult to make oil in water emulsions.

This is such a great forum. My lotion was a huge success. My kids came home and loved it!!! I make hp soap so I have a good understanding of trace and emulsification. What fun!!!! I can't wait for my friends to try it. I also can't wait to experiment more!

Yes. I used Germall Plus in my lotion, none in the shea butter because I didn't add water. :)
