Guest guest Posted December 7, 2001 Report Share Posted December 7, 2001 anet I use equal parts oil based ingredients to equal part water based... for oil i use infused oils, shea butter , jojoba oil(good for non greasy) sometimes beeswax(melted in), coconut oil, castor oil helps to emulsify- but dont use too much...... for liquid i use aloe gel, hydrosol,distilled water,glycerine herb extracts or just plain glycerine... have both groups about the same temp...put the oil based into the blender, and drizzle in your liquid...sometimes more liquid makes more of a lotion,less more of a cream... add eos at the end, or to your oil mix.. voila... without an emulsifier they may need to be shaken before use to ensure emulsification... have fun and experiment!!
