So this is just my second time making lotion. The first time, I used BTMS 50, this time I tried good ol Ewax. Overall, I don't mind the end product. But I found this morning, it's separating a little bit. Plus it's a tad oily on the skin, but I'm assuming that has something to do with using no stearic?
Recipe:
water - 75%
Avocado Oil - 4%
Cocoa Butter - 5%
Sweet Almond Oil - 5%
Castor Oil - 3%
Ewax - 7%
fragrance - 1%
1 tsp arrowroot powder per 8oz finished product
So how's the recipe look? Am I on the right track? Since it's separating, what needs to be tweaked? If anyone has a tried and true basic lotion recipe, I'd love to know what it is. But I do not have any stearic on hand.
