I just made 220ml of lotion. I used bottled “Natural Still water” and Rose water in my lotion. Unfortunately, I forgot to boil the bottled water first.Typical Analysis on the bottle: Sodium, Chloride, Calcium Bi-Carbonate, Potassium Magnesium pH. Do you think this “Natural Still water” can contaminate my cream now as I didn’t boil it before? On the bottle it said “No synthetic chemicals, pesticides or herbicides.

I added Vanilla extract for Preservatives.

There are many factors that can contribute to spoilage. I don’t know about the water you’re using, your equipment handling techniques, etc…The minute you open anything, it’s subject to contamination. Just like food, if it smells rancid, looks discolored, or has mold, then toss it. Otherwise, it’s a judgement call.

Olive oil applied externally is an excellent moisturizer and very beneficial for eczema prone skin or even just dry skin. It’s just fine for children (my pediatrician confirmed) and a contact allergy to olive oil is rare.

Haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve been looking for a simple lotion recipe for ages. Since you’re looking to avoid contaminants, consider 100% organic versions of these ingredients. There’s still around 5% of the toxicants, but that’s better than 100% in conventional ingredients :)
A couple of questions:
1) Do you whip the recipe after you make it? Or does the wax not harden it too much?
2) What is “hydrating” lotion, exactly, as opposed to regular lotion?

Comment from Wabi Sabi Baby
Time December 10, 2008 at 8:59 am

1. I don’t whip when I pour in lotion bottles. I do whip when I store it in wide-mouth jars to give it a nice fluffy texture.
2. Hydrating meaning it helps retain moisture. Glycerin is a humectant – draws moisture to soften and soothe your skin.

I wanted to try this and to add some variations to it because I have eczema and the commercially available lotions that help are usually around $1 per oz.

I couldn’t find emulsifying wax locally, so I used stearic acid (but much less). I also added a few ingredients and only made a half batch.

Here’s my ingredient list:
Water: 1/2 c + 2T
olive oil: 2T
urea: 4.75t
stearic acid: 2t
glycerin:2t
lanolin:1.5t
aloe vera gel: 1t
vitamin e: 3/4 t

If all you want to do is substitute stearic acid for emulsifying wax, I think you’d get similar results using 2 T of stearic acid instead of the 1/4 c emulsifying wax.

Glycerin was already mentioned. Lanolin is supposed to help with water absorption. Urea is supposed to help skin cells make use of the water they have available. The aloe vera gel and vitamin e were on sale,

Time February 9, 2009 at 9:30 am

Anon,
Thank you for sharing! I’ve been experimenting with stearic acid as an alternative to e. wax and am glad to see someone has used it successfully as the sole emulsifier. Glad to know know you can use less of it – it is also cheaper than e.wax and has a much longer shelf life. I’m not familiar with urea. Where do you find it?

Comment from Anon
Time February 9, 2009 at 12:21 pm

I found urea at the personal formulator (http://www.thepersonalformulator.com/). I’ve also seen it (much less money) at a place that sells things for tie dyeing, but I’m not sure whether it’s ok to use something for lotion that is sold for setting dye. Theoretically, it should be the same, but maybe there are purity issues.

Comment from Anon
Time February 10, 2009 at 12:52 am

I did a little more research and discovered that the stearic acid is not the only emulsifier I used. Apparently lanolin is also an emulsifier. It also has some preservative/anti-bacterial properties.

I found some lanolin in the baby section of Wal Mart (it’s sold for nursing mothers). It’s a lot more expensive that way than it is online

Beeswax with soy lecithin (and optionally borax) is a good emulsifier for barrier type creams. Stearic acid is more of a thickener than an emulsifier. It is insoluble in water. When used with xanthan gum and some alcohol based ingredients (i.e. lanolin alcohol or witch hazel extract solution), then it creates a good emulsion. I, too, am still experimenting with other types of emulsifiers. Hope this helps.

Hello. I have rosacea. I have been using a product called Zinco by Linda Sy. However, she has since decided to retire and no longer sells her product line.

I like this recipe, as I am a firm believer in fewer ingredients.

The Zinco product I use to use, had zinc oxide, which I intend to add to this three ingredient moisturizer, however, like the Zinco, I’d like to add some flesh colored tint, that will help provide a more even skin tone by evening out the redness I have in my face, due to rosacea.

Can anyone recommend how I would do this? I have done some research and have seen that some recommend using colors such as blues and greens in addition to browns. Being a male, I have little experience when it comes to “make up”, other than the Zinco moisturizer I was using.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Stuart,
I have not tried tinting, but you can search for makeup color base. Here’s a Canadian source: http://cranberrylane.stores.yahoo.net/naturalmakeup.html
Also, I highly recommend you invest in a scale and weigh your ingredients using my other, more accurate, lotion recipe.
http://www.wabisabibaby.com/blog/index.php/2008/10/my-all-time-favorite-lotion-recipe/
That way, you can replicate the desired tint.
Another option is to get a darker shade lipstick of your skin tone and melt a very small amount into your lotion. Check to make sure you’re not allergic to the lipstick first. Again, weigh your ingredients. And again, I haven’t tried this but this is where I’d start if I was to make a foundation for myself. I do, however, add zinc oxide to my lotion that I use as my daily spf moisturizer.
Another option is to look into mineral makeup. It’s the latest rage in cosmetics right now but again, not tried it.
Good luck and please share your results if you decide to experiment!

Did you mix and heat the oil based and water based ingredients separately? I tried doing a short cut and mixing them all and then heating and had less then perfect results.

I actually tried a more advanced recipe first, then went back to basics and if you follow the directions, you should get a nice lotion.

I have beeswax pellets which I have used as an emulsifier and have found that I use too much and obtain moisturizing concrete! I feel that recipes by weight rather than volume would lead to more consistent results.

For this recipe I used olive oil, water and beeswax in the ratio (by volume) of 1:5:1, grating the pellets to make them melt more quickly and using a small coffee cup as a measure. I had to pour off about 40% of the water because it would not blend with the oil even though I used a small whisk for mixing. What I am left with though is a very pleasant, if a little oily lotion.

You can make a cream (thicker than lotion) with a beeswax/borax/lecithin emulsifier (i.e. night cream) but you cannot directly substitute this combo for the e.wax in this recipe.

You might want to check that your Stearic Acid is derived from vegetable substances. Also, that it’s for cosmetic use. Another use for Stearic Acid is in the metal finishing industry as a binder for buffing and polishing compounds.A major source of stearic acid for this purpose is render animal fat. People have been using animal fat since Roman times as a basis for cosmetics, so its not going to harm you.Still, some people may feel uncomfortable with the idea.

I did hesitate when I read the ingredients (on website after I’d tried the sample of this product) because I have had no allergic reaction at all. Have now been using this product at night for over a month & am extremely satisfied with the results & the product itself! Just 2 pumps of this product will cover my face & neck. It leaves my skin, moisturized without greasiness, soft, & seems to have even improved my skin tone/texture/clarity to a small degree.

How would I incorporate butters into these recipes? I purchased Shea, Mango and Cocoa butter. Would I just replace the oil part of the recipes?
I purchased the book you mentioned “Better basics in the Home”. Great book, filled with lots of different types of recipes for anything in the home.

@Louie Yes, you can substitute a portion of the liquid oil with butters – I’ve not used pure butters, always a mixture. – it does change the texture of the lotion but most of the time, it still emulsifies just fine. You could approximate with this recipe but it would be better to get a scale and use weight measurements as in this generic recipe.

@Mark, It’s up to you but I don’t think so. It could lengthen shelf life under certain conditions, i.e. some food preserving, but don’t count on it for lotions. All citric acid does is adjust/lower the pH of your product which may make the growth conditions unfavorable for some, but not all, microorganisms. Citric acid is more often added to products that already contain other preservatives, like potassium sorbate, where lowering the pH makes those other preservatives more effective. Ccitric acid alone is not really a preservative IMO. Depending on how much you use, it can also irritate the skin – think rubbing yourself all over with vinegar.
