Solid Lotion / Perfume Base

How to Use

This comes in a solid form with nearly the hardness of a soap.  This Solid Lotion/Solid Cologne can take upwards of 13% Fragrance or Essential Oils.  If you choose to go with less scent, you can add other carrier oils, like olive, grapeseed, apricot, almond, etc.  in order to achieve your desired texture. Some individuals like to have it more firm than others. Do testing before batching a larger amount.Like a lip balm or a melt & pour soap, you can use a double boiler or place it in a microwave.  In a double boiler (or a pot inside a pot),  weigh the base out, then heat the water on medium and when boiling, turn it down to avoid over cooking the product.  Have a thermometer available and melt to 65C/ 149F, slowly add scent, EO’s or oils, stir: then pour into your preferred container.  When using a microwave, weigh the amount you want to melt, then place this portion of the solid lotion into a microwavable container (preferrably a glass pitcher).  Heat product in stages and monitor closely.  Have a thermometer available, as you do not want it to boil.  When at 65C /149F, add fragrances and/or carrier oils, then stir and pour.
