Key Points

  • Customizing your own lotion recipe allows you to achieve the perfect texture and properties for your skin type.
  • Emulsifiers are essential in lotion recipes to prevent oils and water from separating, ensuring a stable and creamy product.
  • Always add a preservative to your lotion to prevent mold and bacteria growth, extending its shelf life.
