Help please
Hi guys, I'm all new here and to making my own lotion. So bare with me lol. I have horrible spider veins and came across this forum with a homemade recipe with yarrow extract, horsechestnut extract, witch hazel, plantain and calendula oil in it. The directions said to mix the alcohol extracts first with witch hazel then add your oils. So I gave it a shot and the end results arrrrre water texture with extracts settled on bottom and oil on top. There is no way to apply this unless I use a squirt bottle. So is there a way to get rid of separation and thicken it after it's already made? I really don't know if I want to heat the mixture cause I don't know if it will take away the effectivness of the ingredients.
thanks, Kristy
