I found this lotion base: http://www.naturesbouquet.com/body-loti ... lotion.htm
It contains preservative, but little or no water. They say water is heavy (duh!) and this is designed to add the water at home - at whatever rate you choose to make a cream or lotion.
I know that bases vary widely in their "feel", so I wrote and asked for a sample - willing to pay for it, but I don;t want to buy a huge tub before I know anything about it.

Has anyone ever used this? Or know of it?

TIA
(thanks in advance!)

I didn't see a preservative on their list of ingredients. I've not used this product, so I'm pretty much useless in the "help" department here. Hopefully someone else can chime in, but this product looks a little iffy to me.

Oops, sorry. I see Potassium Sorbate as preservative. It's one of those preservatives I'm not used to seeing as often, so it was missed.

Thanks for the info on potassium sorbate - I had looked it up online, but they mainly said that it is used in food and personal products - with no info as to how strong or effective it might be.

The only reference to teaspoon I found was in adding the fragrance oil, and I have noticed that most recipes, even from reputable sources, are a bit vague on the amount of FOs. So that didn't bother me as much.

What bothers me is not knowing anyone who has used it..no customer testimonials - nothing to go on.

I wrote and asked them for a sample size...we'll see what happens.

I bought this a few weeks ago and I love it! I made a body butter out of it and man does it feel like 'butta' I'm actually ordering more and getting another bottle of their Imagine Base....

I looked all over their site and can't find the "Imagine base" you are referring to...
Can you tell me what it is? And a few more details about the lotion base - how does it feel - does it soak in easily - is it greasy, etc...

thanks for your help and input!

I have not used it, but remember reading a few reviews on another forum a while ago. They were not happy with these bases and commented that they'd rather pay extra for the water than have to add it and still not care for the product. For those that commented it seemed they didnt care for the formulation, no matter the amount of water they added.

Now, as I said, I have no personal knowledge of this product or even that company. I have looked at their site before, but never ordered anything. And at least one person here likes it, so I hope that they will send you a sample so that you can see for yourself. Then you can let us know what you think!

I tried doing searches on a couple of forums ( I LOVE to learn from others without personal pain - lol)
but I was unsuccessful at finding anything.

I am pretty curious, tho...

Here's the link to the Imagine Base:

I felt like the lotion base absorbed well. As I said, I had made a body butter out of it and it was very creamy feeling
