body cream obsession

I've been quiet because I've been formulating body creams.  It becomes an obsession because I have a look and feel that I'm envisioning.  I don't like heavy creams.  I want creamy, light, fluffy, smooth, shiny, and moisturizing.  Many failed batches and two successes.  Persistence pays off.  I'll give myself that.  I finally have two creams that I love....at least for now.  Must.not.tinker.

Green Tea Dream Cream

Lavender Martini Coconut Cream

      Thank you! I am so happy these turned out. They are a little different from each other, one is thicker, but the end result seems the same on my skin. Now I just need to figure out what fragrances I like in lotion.

    It looks lovely! I recently have been doing the same sort of thing and finally came up with a kissably soft lotion recipe after months of testing. =)

    Milla, these creams look really great! I totally feel you on formulating and reformulating again and again and all over again. Finally, we only want the very best products we can create!

    I just had a look at your soaps and I really like them, too :). Funny that omitting the castor oil seems to do the trick für you. I still add it to my soaps at about 3% but one of these days I have to figure out if it really makes any difference at all. There goes that formulating obsession again... ;)

    Thank you! You are definitely right, we only want the very best products that we can create! Perfectionism. So far my magic castor oil number is 2%. I tried zero and that's good too, but I prefer just a little bit and I think I will keep it there. I promised myself I would stick to just two regular soap recipes, but then of course I have other recipes for other types of soaps!
