Re: My lotion is seperating, Help

[Guest guest]

Ellen--

Temps are a definite factor. I usually don't mix until my oils and

liquids are in the neighborhood of 110 degrees.

Ellen,

It is very difficult to figure out what your problem might be without more

specific information. If you post your formula and your step by step technique

for making your lotion, it might go a long way toward figuring out your problem.

Regards,

Hi, its me again with another lotion problem. After I make the lotion

and it cools down the lotion starts to seperate. The water and oil's

I put into it seperate. Why is this happening? Is there some

ingredient that I'm suppose to put in the lotion to help keep it from

seperating. Or does it have to do with temperature when I mix the two

together? Can the lotion makers out there someone give me some advise

please. Thanks, Ellen

I have had mani problems with my lotions separating as well. when i have

attempted to make balms they are always too hard and come out in chunks when you

try and use them. Any ideas would help me out too.

Hi Ellen,

When you make your lotion, do you put emulsifying wax in it, or do you use a

recipe that calls for citric acid and borax. That might be your problem. If

you use a recipe that has the E wax in it you won't have that problem, as

the E wax is an emulsifyer.

-Hi, yes I'm using recipes with emulsifying wax.Either that or

beeswax with a little borax. What does it mean if it is this way even

though I'm using these?
