Made my first lotion, that is! :lol:

I used a recipe from Anne Watson's book, the "Shea Lotion", which contains shea butter and shea oil. Also silk proteins. Scented with a lovely peach FO from The Sage (which smells like peaches and cream to me).

I thought the heating part was going to kill me - it took nearly half an hour to get the phases to the same temp. (The "hold" part was easy by comparison!)

I made a small batch - 6 ounces, which fit into two cute little blue tottles that I got at Wal-Mart. I ended up with this lovely, thick, creamy stuff. I scraped some off the spatula to use, and I'm very pleased. I hate to wash up, as I'm going to wash what's on my hands off, and I shouldn't put the tops on the tottles for a while yet. And I need to get to bed.

I wanted to go wake up friends to tell them, but I figured you guys would be more appreciative.

(Not to mention less cranky! :lol: :lol: )

Anita

You lotion sounds lovely. Congratulations! I've wanted to try lotion for so long but haven't made the jump yet.

Congrats! Which preservative did you end up using?

Yay for you! I'm never going to use store bought lotion again - I love my homemade lotions. When you find a basic recipe you love, you can tweak it to make it lighter for the summer or heavier for the winter, etc.

Congratulations Anita! Lotion making can be very rewarding. I am sure you won't have too steep of a learning curve!

I had to laugh a bit when I read your walmart shopping history. I did the same exact same thing when I began making lotion! I saw them once and knew that they were less expensive than the craft supply shop I frequented back then, so I began getting a few dollars worth every shopping trip. I lived about 40 miles in the country and shopped every 2 weeks (payday weekends). But I worked full time and didn't make lotion for a while. So, fast forward who knows how long, and next think I know, my Son came out of the garage and asked me what I was doing with all the "foo foo bottles" in the storage bin. He wanted to use them for target practice, which motivated me to get busy and make lotion!

Hang in there and have fun with all those oils!
