1 Lotioncrafter 532 Point Lawrence Road Olga, WA Tel: Formulary INGREDIENTS IN BOLD PRINT ARE CARRIED BY LOTIONCRAFTER This formula is provided as a basic tutorial on crafting lotions using a high shear mixing method to create stable emulsions. Jen s Bodacious Cream Recipe This is a nice cream recipe using IPM and Dimethicone. A goat milk lotion can be made by substituting 90 grams of goat milk for the 90 grams of Aloe Vera juice. You may use any goat milk you wish, but reconstitute powdered or canned goat milk to proper drinking consistency first, then measure 90 grams. Increasing the amount of goat milk in your formula will greatly increase the difficulty in preserving it. Our Lotioncrafter 1401DC (Cyclomethicone (and) Dimethiconol blend can be substituted for the Dimethicone in this formula, but should be added after the emulsion has formed, just before the fragrance. Water Distilled Water Aloe Vera Juice Silk Amino Acids Disodium EDTA Oil Shea Butter (or any butter/s you choose) Apricot Kernel Oil (or any liquid oil/s you choose) DM1000 Dimethicone Polawax (Emulsifying Wax NF) Stearic Acid Lotioncrafter IPM (IPM) Covi-Ox T50 Vitamin E Phenonip or LiquaPar Optima Fragrance Fragrance (adjust to suit) 1. Combine and heat water phase in pot. Bring to a temperature of 176 F, hold for 20 minutes to kill any bacteria and mold spores, and remove from heat. 2. While water phase is coming to temp, combine and heat the oil phase in another pot. Heat directly on the stove, or place the pot in a water bath or double boiler to heat on the stove, if you prefer. Bring to 176 F and remove from heat. Gently stir the oils and waxes to melt them all together. Cover and hold at this temperature until the water phase is ready

2 3. If your oil phase pot is deep enough to avoid splash out when blending, pour the water phase into it. If not, pour the oil and water phases together into a Rubbermaid-type straight-sided pitcher or deep mixing bowl. Insert an immersion (stick) blender into the mixing vessel, keeping it near the bottom and blend. Move the stick blender around in the vessel to make certain that the lotion is well mixed. 4. Stop blending briefly. Place your mixing vessel into a cold water bath in your sink. Make sure your sink is not too full; you only need enough water to come up to the level of the lotion in the pot (a couple of inches for this recipe). It creates a cooling jacket around your mixing vessel. Immediately resume blending your lotion with your stick blender, moving it around the bottom of the pot to fully incorporate the mix. When the mixture is incorporated (it turns an even white color) blend it until thickening, incorporated and cooled. This should only take about 2-3 minutes. When the mixture starts to thicken, check your temperature. When the temperature is about F, remove the mixing vessel from the water and place it on the counter. 5. Check the weight of your batch to make sure you still have 900 grams (30.4 ounces), add more water if needed to replace what may have evaporated. 6. Place the pot back into the cold water bath and resume mixing until the lotion is about F (this should take no more than 1-3 minutes more). Remove the pot from the water and place on the counter. 7. Add the Fragrance to the mixture and mix well. 8. Pour the cream when it has cooled, but not "set up". It will continue to set up (for approximately 24 hours) as it sits in the containers. Makes approximately 906 grams or 31 ounces of lotion. Lotioncrafter IPM added to these next two massage oil blends lets the oils sink into the skin, leaving no greasy feeling. Oil drag and buildup on the massage therapist s hands is all but eliminated. Less oil is needed for the massage, but play time (the amount of time the therapist has to massage a given area before more oil is needed) is improved. While the Vitamin E is a nice addition for the skin, its primary purpose in the first formulation is to retard the oxidation of the oils. Caprabella Sensuous Massage Oil A Sunflower Oil (or oil of choice Abyssinian Oil Jojoba Oil Lotioncrafter IPM Covi-Ox T50 Vitamin E Combine above ingredients to make your Massage Oil Base. Base can then be fragranced with essential oils as desired. Other liquid oils can be substituted for any of the above. Makes 500 grams (16.7 oz)

5 Caprabella Foaming Milk Bath A Salt (non-iodized table salt) Bicarbonate of Soda Powdered Goat Milk Lotioncrafter SLSa Titanium Dioxide (water dispersible) Germall Plus Powder B Natrasorb Bath Fragrance Oil Note: Lotioncrafter SLSa (Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate) is a fine powder and can be an irritant to breathe. Wear a mask and goggles when first mixing it. Once it is mixed in with everything else, it is fine, but care should be taken in the beginning. Ditto working with Natrasorb Bath. It's less of an irritant, but it is fine and light and goes everywhere. Mask and goggles help!! Titanium Dioxide powder is quite light, too, so the same precautions are sensible. 1. Using a sieve, sift A ingredients into a bucket or large pan. Break up any lumps with a spoon. Whisk or stir very well to fully mix all ingredients. Set aside. 2. B. Weigh and pour the Natrasorb Bath into another pan or bucket. Whisk in the fragrance oil and continue to stir until it is well mixed. 3. Place the sieve back on the bucket containing A ingredients.

This will last a long time and will fill make almost 15 ten ounce jars (Origin's type) or tin tie bags of Foaming Milk Bath. 6. Label with a "Best if used by date" about 6 months out. Although exceptionally stable in this formulation, the fats in the goat milk powder can go rancid in time). Makes Ounce Jars - 5 -

8 Perfumed Body Sprays are as simple as can be when you're working with cyclomethicone! Lotioncrafter 995 Cyclomethicone can be used alone with just the addition of some fragrance. Remember, though, cyclomethicone evaporates completely, leaving nothing behind. It can almost feel drying. However, if you add a bit of Lotioncrafter 1401DC Cyclomethicone (and) Dimethiconol or Lotioncrafter DM1000 Dimethicone to them, they leave the skin with a silky dry-down that is not greasy, but luxurious. Silky Dry Oil Perfume Spray A Lotioncrafter 995 Cyclomethicone Lotioncrafter 1401DC Cyclomethicone (and) Dimethiconol or Lotioncrafter DM1000 Dimethicone B Fragrance 1. Mix A ingredients together. 2. Add B to A and stir to mix. Makes 500 grams (16.68 ounces) Forget Polysorbates which can leave a sticky residue as it settles on floors and linens! Formulating Linen & Room Sprays with Lotioncrafter LC995 Cyclomethicone is incredibly easy. Simply combine your desired fragrance or essential oil blend with the Lotioncrafter LC995 Cyclomethicone in a spray bottle. Test your sprays on cotton (and perhaps silk or satin) fabric if you are selling them, just to sure the fragrance oil s components won t stain them. Please note, while a great many are, not all fragrances or essential are miscible with cyclomethicone. Mix a little cyclomethicone with the fragrance or essential oil you want to use first. If they are not compatible, the mixture will cloud or separate into two separate phases, like oil and water. If it mixes well, you're good to go! Quick and Easy Linen & Room Spray A Lotioncrafter 995 Cyclomethicone Fragrance 1. Mix A ingredients together. Decant into bottles. Makes 500 grams (16.68 ounces)

9 Lotioncrafter LC995 Cyclomethicone can be combined with virtually any oils you choose, along with a little Vitamin E (as an antioxidant for your oils) to make very nice after bath oils that glide on the skin and sink in quickly with no greasy feel. Lotioncrafter IPM is an emollient ester that improves the spreading co-efficient of the oils. Due to the high volume of oils in this formula, it can be slippery on the bath or floor, so care should be taken in use (and your bottles labeled appropriately if you are selling your product).

Working with CME The simplest formulations are made by mixing 1 part Caprol Micro Express (CME) with 9 parts water, and adding 1% fragrance. If it s not clear, add a bit more CME, a few drops at a time with stirring until the mix clears. That s it. You can use a water soluble preservative like Germaben II at 0.5 to 1%. Germall Plus and Liquid Germall Plus are not recommended for aerosol products. Body Sprays can be created by substituting water soluble actives for any part of the Distilled Water. Also try Aloe Vera Juice, Herbal Extracts and Hydrosols. One percent fragrance works well for a body spray, but if you want to use 2 or 3% fragrance in a room or body spray, you will need to increase the amount of CME used. A 3% fragrance load requires that you use about 15% CME. So a formula might look like this: Linen Spray A Distilled Water Caprol Micro Express (CME) Germaben II B Fragrance 1. Combine A ingredients with stirring. 2. Add B fragrance to A with whisking. If resulting emulsion is not clear, add small amounts of CME to mix with stirring until mixture clears. Makes 500 grams (16.67 oz)

13 Natrasorb Bath and Croda s Cromollient SCE are added to these bath bombs. Both ingredients help the added oil disperse in the water, to make them the ultimate for silken, skin softening appeal in the bath. Bodacious Bath Bombs A Bicarbonate of Soda Citric Acid Natrasorb Bath B D&C or FD&C Colorant of choice C Sweet Almond Oil Cromollient SCE Fragrance D qs qs qs Water/Witch Hazel 1. Combine A ingredients and mix gently. Do not be concerned if Natrasorb Bath tends to sit on top at this point. 2. Mix B colorant with a small amount of A ingredients in a mortar and pestle until lump free. Add to A and mix with hands or whisk to incorporate colorant evenly. 3. Combine C ingredients and stir until mixed evenly. Pour C ingredients over A/B. Using your hands, mix thoroughly, rubbing ingredients through fingers until mixture is crumbly. It will have pea-sized lumps throughout. When squeezed in the hand, it will form clumps that easily break apart. 4. Fill a spray bottle with water, witch hazel, or a combination of the two. Begin to spritz dry ingredients with water/witch hazel, mixing thoroughly between sprays just until mixture is damp enough to hold together when squeezed in the hand. 5. Working quickly press the mixture into the molds. Let bombs dry in the molds for a few hours. Remove from molds and let dry for several days before packaging. Mixture will fill 4 large (baseball size) molds or 6-8 smaller molds

14 Olive oil and Lotioncrafter Squalane (from olives) are used in this formula, along with Cromollient SCE to create a cleansing oil that is applied to a dry face to dissolve dirt and makeup and then rinsed away with warm water. The ratios of Cromollient SCE, Lotioncrafter Squalane and olive oil can be adjusted in this formula to create a feel that is just right for you. Increasing the Cromollient SCE, for example, will leave less oil on the face, increasing the olive oil will leave more emollient oils behind. Adding additional squalane will thin the product out further. You can also substitute Lotioncrafter FCO (caprylic/capric triglycerides) for the squalane in this formula. It is also possible to substitute other oils for the olive oil Rice Bran Oil might be a good one!

Your choices are only limited by your imagination! Dispersing Bath Oil A Macadamia Nut Oil Cromollient SCE Covi-Ox T50 Vitamin E LiquaPar Oil 1. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Makes 500 grams (about ounces)

15 This lotion is thin enough to be sprayed from a mister and it stays well emulsified. You can substitute Lotioncrafter FCO (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride) or Mineral Oil for the Squalane. Do not sub fixed oils for the Squalane as they will be too heavy. You can sub any other water soluble active or amino acid (like silk) for the Hydrolyzed Oats, or just use water in its place. Hydrosols can also be used in place of some or all of the water. Have fun! Light Sprayable Lotion with Olive Squalane A Distilled Water Glycerin Hydrolyzed Oats B Lotioncrafter Squalane Lotioncrafter IPM Cetearyl Alcohol Glyceryl Stearate Ceteareth Phenonip C Fragrance 1.
