This lotion recipe uses a pre-made base that’s smooth, light, and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy finish. It’s designed to work well with a wide range of fragrance blends, holding scent beautifully while still feeling gentle and skin-friendly.

There’s no need to mess with emulsifiers or preservatives—everything’s already dialed in. You just measure, mix, and pour.

The texture is clean and professional, and the formula plays well with bold, distinctive scents like whiskey, fresh grass, campfire, or leather, making it perfect for custom blends that aren’t your typical lotion fare.

This is a reliable base that lets you focus on the scent and experience you want to create—no distractions, no complications.

This batch makes 16 oz of lotion—perfect for one large bottle or two smaller jars.
