Olivem 1000 is what makes it possible without synthetic emulsifiers. The result is a genuine body lotion with a silky texture and a formula you can read from first ingredient to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHERO INGREDIENT — Olivem 1000\u003cbr\u003eOlivem 1000 is a plant-derived emulsifying wax made from olive oil, and it's one of the most elegant natural emulsifiers available to home formulators. It creates stable oil-in-water emulsions with a light, silky skin feel that most synthetic emulsifiers struggle to replicate. It also has documented skin-conditioning properties in its own right, which means it contributes to the formula's performance rather than just its structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWHAT ELSE IS IN THIS RECIPE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweet Almond Oil — carrier oil in the oil phase — provides the primary emollient conditioning of the lotion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAloe Vera Gel — hydrating and soothing in the water phase — contributes to the light feel of the finished lotion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVegetable Glycerin — humectant in the water phase that draws moisture to the skin and extends the hydrating effect after application\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeogard ECT — preservative essential in this water-containing formula — add below 40°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEssential Oil — optional — choose something suited to daily full-body use; the blend on this page is our recommendation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI RECOMMEND TRYING IT WITH BOTANIC EMBER LIGHT\u003cbr\u003eBody lotion is applied to large surface areas, which means the blend needs to work at a diluted concentration — Botanic Ember Light was designed for exactly that, staying readable and pleasing at the percentages appropriate for leave-on skin products. The Sweet Orange and Bergamot FCF open; the Cedarwood Atlas stays behind on skin in a way that makes the lotion feel complete rather than fleeting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll ingredients used in this recipe are available at homemadehaven.com.au\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall Batch • Handcrafted in Australia • homemadehaven.com.au\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Homemade Haven","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52070677315877,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/2188\/1893\/files\/BodyLotionRecipeCard.png?v=1773380993","url":"https:\/\/homemadehaven.com.au\/products\/diy-body-lotion-recipe-card","provider":"Homemade Haven","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
