I prefer unscented facial lotions as they give me the least problems.

What recipes do you like and why? I find that many people here use ingredients which are outright banned or at least hard to get hold of over here in Europe, so would be interesting to see what you've gone with
Hi Craig,
When I first started out making my own creams and lotions I found Plush Folly very helpful
www.plushfolly.co.uk
For my face cream base I prefer using rice bran, grapeseed and avocado oils. This is my holy trinity. I also add active ingredients depending on who I'm formulating for.
My mum has ageing skin so I add Q10 coenzyme along with vitamin A, matrixyl 3000 and DMAE. Now she will use nothing else. These are very expensive and sometimes difficult to source in bulk.
One thing that I absolutely detest is the amount of money the large cosmetic companies charge for anti ageing creams. Especially when they use a minute amount of active ingredients. This the reasons why I want to offer my products to the general public

I make a hydrasol from fresh rose buds and use it in my face creams as some of the water. The smell is lovely.
