Today I'm going to show you how to make whipped lotion - it's fluffy, soft, velvety, and oh so satisfying. Lotion is not as heavy or greasy as body butter. If you're a fan of light moisturizers, then you're going to love this - but then again, you can make it as greasy or heavy as you want. The best part about this project is that it's easy & only requires 3 main ingredients!
INGREDIENTS
120 grams butter (illipe), 20 grams emulsifying wax, 200 grams distilled water, 15 grams fragrance oil, 1 gram preservative.
Heat the butter and wax until melted. Heat the water to roughly the same temperature. Combine everything with a stick blender. Cool mixture; once it's below 176 degrees Fahrenheit, add the preservative & fragrance oil and mix it once more. Cover the lotion and cure it for 24 hours; it will thicken and become more dense. Now whip the lotion. Whipping the lotion mixes it and fluffs it up just a bit. The whipped lotion will be soft, fluffy, & creamy and will have stiff peaks. Use a large tip to pipe the lotion into a container. But if you're more interested in convenience instead of a pretty display, use a long tip to fill a squirt bottle.
TIPS
To avoid hard lotion, keep it covered. Do NOT add more than 120 grams of butter. Allow the lotion to sit for at least 24 hours; it will thicken during this time and become more dense - even more so within a few days. If you make the lotion too thick, you can make another batch with minimal oil (not butter), then mix the 2 batches together once they've both set up. Example Recipe: 50-75 grams carrier oil, 20 grams emulsifying wax, 200 grams distilled water, 10 grams fragrance oil, 1 gram preservative.
