LEARN HOW TO MAKE CREAM BASE (LOTION)

We are going to learn how to make cream base(lotion). This is just a base cream before u can start to use it u need to add other ingredients and that depend on the complexion u want to get either fair dark or chocolate.
LOTIONS (CREAM BASE)
We will start by making our base cream for our lotions. I make a batch and store in an air tight container,so when I want to mix,I take from it. Instead of making a base cream all d time.

1 cup emulsifying wax
half cup cetyl alcohol
1 cup stearic acid
Coconut oil 60ml
Vit e oil 20,ml
Water 800ml
Glycerine 30ml
Preservative 25ml
Glycolic acid 30ml

Method: In a double boiler(place a wide pot or deep frying pan on fire with water and put a thick glass bowl on it) melt your wax,stearic acid,cetyl alcohol and oil together. While at that, heat your water in a separate stove. Bring water down to be cooling down while waiting for d wax to melt. When well melted, drop it down n turn into a large bowl(to enable u mix well). Pour your liquid GRADUALLY into the oil as u mix with ur hand mixer to get a creamy texture.
Add your glycolic acid, glycerine, vit e oil,preservative n mix thoroughly.
Your base cream is ready!
To make dis base cream very effective, you will add 5 or 6 nature secret oil n mix well before u store.
Some People add up to 10 bottles of d oil. Depends how effective you want it to be.
Store in an air tight container.

NB:‎ If u feel its too thick at d end,add rose water. But I leave mine thick because of other things I will b mixing with when I scoop out to mix for a client
