Instructions  Ingredients

 

Bath & Body Instructions:

Bath Gel For Bath Gel, add approx. 1/2 to no more than 1oz. of soap safe fragrance oil to 1 gallon.  Add skin safe liquid soap dye in drops until desired color is achieved. Stir thoroughly but gently.  Pour into bottles with a funnel, or use our gallon jug pump.
*Caution:  Heating or adding too much fragrance oil can cause gel to become thinner!

Bath Salts:  Add 2-12 drops of Soap & Lotion Safe fragrance oil to 1 lb. of bath salts.  Stir well.  Add Skin Safe Liquid Dye by the drop until the desired color is reached.  Stir well.  Store in tightly capped jar.

Body & Hand Lotion:  For Lotion, add approx. 1/2 to 1oz. of Lotion safe fragrance oil to 1 gallon.  Add skin safe liquid soap dye in drops until desired color is achieved. Stir thoroughly but gently.  Since lotion is so thick, you may need to heat the lotion slightly (set jug in sink of hot water, keep under 100 degrees) to aid in pouring if using a funnel.  It will thicken back up once it cools.  Or you can use a cake decorator squeeze funnel, or a ziplock bag with a corner cut off if pouring cold.  If making full gallon batches, our gallon pumps are the easiest way to fill bottles.

Cylomethicone:

  • Dry Oil Body Spray/Perfume:  Mix in FO or EO at any dilution depending on desired strength and recommended usage levels of FO or EO.  Common dilution rates are 1 part FO/6 parts cyclo up to 1 part FO/3 parts cyclo.
  • After Bath/Shower Body Oil:  Mix in concentrations up to 50/50 with your favorite vegetable or botanical oil (I use soybean oil) and add FO or EO to desired strength.  Spray on the skin after you shower while skin is still wet, then towel dry.  Leaves your skin feeling so silky smooth yet not greasy at all!  (Similar to Neutrogena Rain Bath Dry Oil Spray).
  • Linen/Pillow Spray & Room Spray:  Mix the same way you do for a body spray!  Won’t leave linens wet and doesn’t stain!  (test on white linen to make sure the FO doesn’t stain tho!)
  • Hair:  Use on hair as a detangler & defrizzing agent (spray on wet hair).  Spray on dry hair as a shine serum!  Or add to hair conditioners to impart more “slip” & detangling properties!
  • Lotion:  Add to lotions, creams, body butters and lotion bars to give a silky feeling (add up to 1% to pre-made lotion base, or 5% or more to lotion made from scratch).
  • Bath Oils, Salts & Scrubs:  Add to bath oils or scrubs for a silky less greasy feel.  Use in place of glycerin in bath salts to impart a silky feel and give salts a nice sheen!
  • Insect Repellent Spray:  Just add your favorite blend of bug repellant EO’s such as Lemongrass, Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Citronella, Cedarwood, Catnip, Tea Tree, Lavender, etc.  No nasty chemical smell like you get in commercial insect repellents!

Remember to properly label your products per FDA instructions listing all ingredients by their INCI names in order of predominance (in order of most to least in the formula).  INCI name for Cyclomethicone is… Cyclomethicone :)

Hair & Body Protein Mist: Add 1/4 to no more than 1/2oz. of Lotion safe fragrance oil to 1 gallon of base.  Add liquid Bath & Body dye in drops until desired color is achieved.  Stir thoroughly.  Pour into bottles with a funnel.
*Caution:  Adding more than the recommended amount of fragrance oil may cause separation. Shake well before using!
This product has a milky appearance so clouding is not an issue.

Lip & Body Balm Base:
Lip Balm:  Just melt the base in the microwave on a low setting until it liquefies completely.  Add your flavor oil (not fragrance oil!) and stir well (amount depends on manufacturer, average use is 3-6% or 1/2 to 1oz per pound).  Sweetner is optional with non-sweetened flavor oils or essential oils (our Kiss Kwenchers flavor oils are pre-sweetened for you).  Pour into lip balm tubes, tins or pots, and allow to harden. Lotion Bars:  Just melt the base same as above, and add approx. 1 oz. of a lotion safe fragrance oil per pound of base, and stir well.  Pour into soap bar mold or into push-up sticks and allow to harden.  This base can also be whipped and packaged in jars or tins as a body butter or balm.

Melt & Pour Soap (Microwave method):

In a microwave safe dish, melt the soap base in the microwave for several minutes, depending on amount of base you are melting and the strength of your microwave. Add Skin Safe liquid dye (if desired) 1 drop at a time until desired color is reached. Add approximately 1/2 oz. Soap & Lotion Safe fragrance oil per lb. of base. Stir well. Pour carefully into your mold. When soap is completely hardened, you can remove it from the mold and slice it.

Melt & Pour Soap (Stove Top Method):

In a sauce pan, melt the soap base over medium heat. When base is completely melted, add Skin Safe liquid dye (if desired) 1 drop at a time until desired color is reached. Add approximately 1/2 oz. Soap & Lotion Safe fragrance oil per lb. of base. Stir well. Pour carefully into your mold. When soap is completely hardened, you can remove it from the mold and slice it.

You MUST use skin safe dyes & fragrance oils in all bath & body products!

All bath & body products will be sent with ingredient lists for labeling purposes (FDA requirements).
