Have you had issues with this specific recipe or just other lotions? If the emulsion is breaking and you’re doing it slow it could be because you’re adding too much water and don’t have enough oils and wax. Adding some emulsifying wax in the oil melting stage can also help. Some recipes add oil to the water phase but the trick is to instead add the water to the oil phase. Personally I haven’t had issues with this recipe.

Have you had any problems with the water separating? I’ve done so many similar batches but the water always separates after just a few hours. 🙁 I pour the water in extremely slowly so I know it’s not that. I’m afraid to try this recipe for fear I’ll spoil another batch. Any advice would help. Thank you!

Hi Sallie, Since all the measurements are by weight this won’t translate to a volume measurement. I wouldn’t wing it since lotions require more precision, but maybe its one to come back to once you have a scale. Or maybe there’s a site where you could calculate the volume of the ingredients based on the weights given? Sorry I can’t be of more help!

If you do, could you tell me if you would have any suggestions about making this without a scale? I can’t spend the money on a scale right now, but I would like to make the cream. I don’t want to waste the ingredients by winging it. Thanks so much.

I am finding here in FL I have to put these types of recipes back in the fridge a day or two later to whip it up as it gets liquidy, it is cool in the house but I think the humidity makes it form a little liquid on top. I love the smell made some for my mom and me. Thanks again.

I haven’t had luck with Amazon since I’ve seen several companies claim they’re organic, but don’t have the certification to back it up. it sounds like the one you found at Whole Foods is a great option for those who have one nearby! Ours nearest Whole Foods is 1 hour and 15 minutes away though so that’s why I rely on online purchases so much :/

Sorry to add again. There are a few on Amazon cheaper claiming to be organic, but I am not familiar with the companies.

Hi Again,

I found an organic 16. ounce bottle at Whole Foods. I look forward to making this for Mother’s day gifts. I agree with you wholly, we must support products and practices that protect our already threatened bee population.
I also wonder in the future if you could recommend something like an organic hemp oil in place of almond oil? I know I could get that cheaper. I also know it’s not as stable as almond oil and might require refrigeration of the lotion.

Thanks so much.

Hi Ree, thanks for pointing that out. They must have changed the price since I linked to it awhile ago. It’s tough though since conventional almonds are one of the most sprayed crops and are a huge contributor to bee and colony deaths. However I’d be interested to know if you find some more reasonably priced organic almond oil!
