Lotion Base - Naturally Moisturizing

Introducing our very own Midwest Original Lotion Base! An unscented, naturally moisturizing formula designed to cater to your daily skincare needs. Crafted with care, this lotion base offers an effective solution for maintaining skin hydration throughout the day.


Moisturizing Technology - This formulation features highly effective emollients commonly used in the cosmetic industry: Cetearyl Alcohol and Cetyl Alcohol. These exceptional 'fatty alcohols' work in tandem to create a luxuriously effective moisture barrier, leaving your skin irresistibly soft and supple. Additionally, the formula incorporates the humectant properties of Glycerin, attracting extra moisture from the air to maintain hydration of the skin barrier, ensuring your skin stays moisturized and radiant for an extended period.

 

INCI Ingredients: RO/DI Water, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, Ceteareth-20, Glycerin, Isopropyl Myristate, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Dimethicone, Carbomer, Sodium Hydroxide, Trisodium Dicarboxymethyl Alaninate

 - Please refer to each individual fragrance IFRA compliance to determine usage rate compatibility. (The subcategory you choose under Category 5 will be dependent on your marketed product use.)

 - Disclaimer: Fragrance loads of greater than 4% can be achieved with this base, however, too much fragrance may cause the base to become thin or runny with certain fragrance formulations. We strongly encourage you to conduct your own personal testing of any given fragrance formulation. We strongly recommend to NOT exceed fragrance loads greater than 4% using this base.

 - Slowly add fragrance to base while stirring until desired fragrance load is achieved.

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......

Best base

Exceptional lotion base, and love that it is paraben free. Leaves my skin feeling soft and silky. It is light feeling, and takes fragrances well. Highly recommend.

Love it!

This lotion is fabulous. Very effective, thin like a true lotion, feels soft and silky smooth on your skin but is fast absorbing and light, no greasiness at all. I have the most sensitive skin there is, it’s overreacts to everything. Not only does it not irritate my skin, but it actually improves the feel and look. I use as a Hand & Body Lotion and add some lovely extracts to it. I can’t keep it in stock. If I had more time I would be buying by the truckload (#goals). Oh, and it holds a small amount of fragrance amazingly well. Thanks, y’all! ❤️
