I only make lotion for myself, have no interest in selling.
A friend buys lotion bases from a reputable company here in Australia.
My understanding of lotion bases is you add fragrance mix well and package (taking care with handling and all other requirements of cleanliness)
that the emulsifier and preservative used is what is required for the oils, water and whatever else is in said formula of purchased base.
If you add extra oil and other ingredients you would require more emulsifier and preservative in the original formula.
If adding extras don't you risk the lotion becoming unstable or even unusable because of bacteria.
Any information you can share with me would be much appreciated
