BTMS-50 in Lotion

[VikingChick]

Hi y’all! I just bought some BTMS-50 because I’ve read (in here as well as other places) that’s it makes a nice, “dry” lotion (I hate greasy hands, especially while I’m at work!). Just curious how you use it? As the only emulsifier or in conjunction with another?

Thanks!

I've only used it in hair conditioners, not body lotions. Please let us know how it goes if you do use it in a body lotion.

I'd recommend Swift Crafty Monkey or Humblebee & Me for more information about BTMS 50.

@Misschief I chaneled both of them and came up with something pretty awesome!

Here’s what I did:

Water phase:
61% distilled water
10% aloe vera juice
2% sodium lactate
0.5% allantoin

Oil phase:
4% BTMS-50
7% Avocado oil
2% Shea butter
2.5% Cetyl alcohol
2% IPM
2% Colloidal oatmeal

Cool-down phase:
2% Panthenol
2% Cyclomethicone
0.5% Vitamin E
1% FO
0:5% Germall Plus (what I use)

Oh yeah! That looks pretty darned good.

Agreed, that looks like a very nice recipe. Thanks for sharing it!
