Description
Our lotions are made with high-end oils that you will rarely find in commercial lotions. There is a profound difference in quality. We continue to test new formulations and are excited about how that is going.
I used to think that lotions were boring. For years I personally used only oil blends, which we make here, and left the lotions for others. Now I use only the lotions (in combination with our liquid balms). There are things we can do with lotion that we simply cannot do with just the oils, and I have a whole new appreciation for them.

Note that the ‘scent’ used is almost always separate from the formula. Although there is a strong correlation between the perceived quality of a lotion and its scent, we ask that testers do their best to judge each separately. As testing completes sometime in 2021 we will settle on a small number of formulations, along with the most well-liked scents, and list them for sale accordingly.
All fragrances presently used are 100% essential oils except for one. We will most likely discontinue that one once we are done testing.

All of our lotions are made with some combination of the following ingredients: almond, apricot, avocado, cocoa butter, coconut, fractionated coconut, grapeseed, hempseed, jojoba, macadamia nut, meadowfoam, mineral, monoi butter, olive, shea butter, tamanu, and/or walnut oils. Distilled water (which is boiled in process), emulsifying wax and/or BTMS (a conditioning emulsifier). Stearic acid, isopropyl myristate, olive squalane, vitamin E, glycerin, rose water (or other hydrosol), silk amino acids, arrowroot, allantoin, essential oils, and a germicide/preservative (we use Optiphen Plus, the only one that does not contain propylene glycol).
- Vitamin E and a preservative/germicide is added to each lotion.
- All (at this time) have a medium consistency, neither thick nor thin, although there is some variance between them. ANY lotion we make can be thickened if desired.
