Amazing 🤩

This lotion is so beautiful and is the perfect addition to anyone’s line! I personally am going to wait until expanding into lotion as I primarily hand make anhydrous body butter currently but when I’m ready for lotion MWFC is where I will be buying from!

This lotion is creamy, non-greasy, absorbs very well and leaves the skin velvety soft. I will be adding this to my line.

WOW is all I can say

OK maybe not all I can say :-) I waited until now to review because I wanted to get a few samples made and give them time to cure and now that this is done I can give a more accurate rating..... First off I must say I am brand new to this lotion making thing, but not to using lotions. THIS STUFF is amazing to me and those I have shared the test runs with. I will say that when adding fragrance to it we have allowed the lotion to cure and the sweet spot seems to be 5-10 days. It JUST gets better with each day that goes by.
We are going to launch a complete line using this base as our "Go To". First the room spray, then this? It would appear most of our ingredients will be from this company! Glad I found you all.
NOTE: YES I have tried other products from other companies, Midwest has won every time so far when it comes to bases!
Thanks for the great products and services......

Frequently Asked Questions

We’re so glad you asked! At MWFC, our fragrance oils are crafted with makers like you in mind. Every scent undergoes testing to ensure exceptional hot and cold throw for candles, and we also perform soap testing, providing detailed notes for each fragrance. Our fragrances are thoughtfully designed to spark creativity and help your creations stand out. Plus, we stay on top of industry trends to take the guesswork out of finding the perfect scent. We’re all about quality, consistency, and making sure our fragrances elevate your projects—and we think you’ll feel (and smell) the difference!

We know how important it is to get your supplies fast! Orders are typically processed and shipped within 1–2 business days, but the top of our website always has the most up-to-date information. Once your order is on the way, you’ll get a tracking number so you can keep an eye on its journey. If you ever have a question, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re happy to help!

Using our fragrance oils is super simple, and we’re here to guide you! For candles, we recommend adding your fragrance to the melted wax when it’s at the correct temperature (usually around 185°F, but check your wax’s specs). Mix well, pour, and let the magic happen. For soap-making, our oils are perfect for melt-and-pour, cold process, or hot process soaps. Always follow recommended usage rates and do a small test batch to ensure everything works beautifully. Need more tips? Check out our resources—we love helping makers like you!

The recommended fragrance load can vary depending on your project, but here’s a good starting point: for candles, we suggest 6–10% of your total wax weight, depending on your wax type and personal preference. For soaps, always checkIFRA usage rates to ensure your oils are skin-safe and used at the right level. When in doubt, start small and adjust until you find your perfect balance!
