Hand & Body Lotion Base - 5L

Features

Description

Essentially Natural Hand & Body Lotion Base is a light, ready-to-use moisturising lotion made with plant-derived emollients, glycerine and olive oil for everyday hand and body care. It absorbs easily and leaves the skin feeling soft and conditioned without a heavy or greasy finish. The neutral, fragrance-free formula can be used as supplied or carefully customised with compatible cosmetic actives, essential oils or skin-safe fragrance ingredients.

It is a finished lotion base rather than a concentrated emulsifier or oil-only formulation. Why we love it: We choose to offer this lotion base because it gives makers a simple, versatile starting point for hand and body care. It feels light enough for daily use while still offering comfortable moisturising support, and the fragrance-free formula makes it easy to personalise in small batches.
