Lotion post! I need to make a new one with the new bottles in the picture. I am going to discount the old bottles of lotion to $14 until they are gone. That's $4 off! Who is interested?
*Goat Milk Lotion info and availability"
Lotion is ready to go in the farmstand this weekend and by order everyday of the week!
The regular price for this is $18 per bottle, so if you grabbed one of the 8 first ones you are lucky! This is a 9 oz amber bottle with a pump. The largest jar of body butter is also 9 oz for reference. The availability will be listed here as I have not gotten a good stock of it yet so it is fairly limited these first couple weeks. Making lotion is a bit more involved than the body butter.
I love this recipe that I have come up with because it is about 70% goat milk and Distilled Water. You need to use distilled water in lotion, especially in goat milk lotion, to prevent the growth of bacteria, as more often than not, it is water based. I already use Shea Butter in my lip balms, so that was a no brainer. I love the benefits of castor oil. Avocado oil is the only cooking seed oil I am comfortable with, having in the house. You basically can not make any type of lotion without Emulsifying Wax or Stearic Acid. They both are thickening agents that bring a creaminess to lotion. Last, because this is a goat milk lotion, a perservative is needed to keep it shelf stable. And of course an essential oil to bring scent when we want it.
I love love love this stuff. It's one of those things that I can't believe I made. Sometimes I think there is no way I make these products because they are too good. Especially because I very much create my own recipes and play with them until I get what I want. I fly by the seat of my pants until I nail it! And I have finally nailed this one. My favorites right now is the Eucalyptus and the Bare Naked.
Availability:
Eucalyptus: 4
Bare Naked: 0
