I made Soapbuddy's lotion recipe yesterday and i love it , love it, love it! Two questions: can you contaminate phenonip by pouring it out and then putting it back into it's bottle? and I used my good stainless steel pot. Can i still cook with it?

I'm glad you like my lotion.
I would not have poured the preservative back into the bottle. If you get yourself a jeweler's scale and some weigh boats, that should eliminate your problem. I find pipettes for small amounts helpful. I keep all my lotion making separate. I would not want to introduce something from food into my lotion and get it contaminated.

Should i not be using this lotion? Did i contaminate my cooking pot with the lotion? I will definitely buy all those things you mentioned. I guess i should never be impatient when making these things. I'm a no waste person and didn't even think about what i was doing when i poured the phenonip back into the bottle until after i did it. Shame on me :oops:

Guess i should through out the phenonip. I'm a little freaked out about the phenonip but, then i read the labels of all the products i already use and there are worse things in them. Now that i know more about preservatives, i'm able to choose my poison. Thanks for sharing your knowlegde.

Since it's just for you, it's most likely ok if you added the extra preservative back into the bottle. Just don't do it again.

If you use that pot for food, I would not use it for lotion making again. Get yourself a dedicated pot just for lotion making.

You're welcome.

I bought a couple of the 2 qt. size pyrex measuring cups to use for my lotions. They fit perfectly inside my 6qt pots that I put a baking rack in to make a double boiler. And stainless spoons. Lots of spoons! And some stainless shot-glass size ramekins for measuring out my preservative & fragrances. :lol:
