Beginners Light Lotion

Beginners Light Lotion

Now don't be daunted! If this is your first attempt, this formula will ease you into lotionmaking! Read our Lotion Making Instructions, and have everything ready to go. Like the Boy Scout motto, be prepared! Set everything out, have all the ingredients pre-weighed and follow temperatures closely and you'll be fine.

This is a very basic, easy to make, pumpable lotion that is still really nice and light and leaves your skin soft and moisturised. Its good for facial application as well as the body if you like a light moisturiser. This lotion is suitable for Malibu Tubes, Pump or regular Boston Bottles or a tub if you prefer.
