Formulating Lotion with Shea Butter, Argan Oil, and Rose Hip Oil

Hello,

Regarding your request for a milk lotion formula containing Shea Butter, Argan Oil, and Rose Hip Oil:

Yes, it is absolutely possible to create a lotion formulation incorporating these beneficial ingredients.

To combine the oil phase (Shea Butter, Argan Oil, Rose Hip Oil) with the water phase to form a stable lotion, you will need an emulsifier. The specific type and amount of emulsifier required will depend on the total percentage of your oil phase ingredients and the desired consistency of the lotion (e.g., light lotion, richer cream).

Common types of emulsifiers suitable for lotions include:

• Glyceryl Stearate (and) PEG-100 Stearate
• Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Ceteareth-20
• Emulsifying Wax NF

To provide you with a more precise formula, could you please let us know the desired percentage for each of the oils and butter you mentioned (Shea Butter, Argan Oil, Rose Hip Oil)? Knowing the total oil phase percentage will help determine the appropriate emulsifier and its usage level.

Thank you.
