Lotion delima, what would you do?

23 years ago

I'm new at making lotions. Last night I made one that seemed to be coming out really nice. I used jasmine hydrosol in it and when I was done I added a little more jasmine FO. This morning I got up, opened the jar, took a whiff and just about died! It smells like skunk cabbage!!!!! Would you:

A. write it off as a loss and throw it out? It's only about 16 ozs

B. Try to cut it down with an unscented batch?

C. Add another FO to try to camoflage it?

D. Give it as a gift to someone you don't like? (just kidding!)

Since i'm unfamiliar with jasmine hydrosol I don't know what to say, except the 2 jasmines just may not be compatible. (Is the jasmine hydrosol made from the same jasmine FO?)
If they aren't I don't know if you can salvage it.....even cutting it down & adding more of EITHER the hydrosol or FO would still leave some of the other in the initial base amount.
Try leaving it for a day or so, shaking occasionally & see if it gets any better or any worse. Can't hurt........

(When ever i do anything new I always do small amounts, 2-4 oz, measure my oil & write it down. then after i determine if the item is a go or not i increase size)

I'm a simple soul when it comes to flowers. I primarily grow vegetables with a few marigolds and zinnias mixed in for interest. This year I grew and was thrilled with the petunias, cosmos, datura and variegated nicandra. I would have never thought to grow them if it weren't for the generous people here.

What brand of lotion do you use?

It may not penetrate, but the purpose is to keep a barrier between the moisture in/on your skin and the air - so that the moisture can't evaporate so easily - my doctor told me that for very dry skin, cream is much better than lotion, it should say "cream" on the jar. I use Clinique moisture online for my face and Walmarts off brand of Eucerin cream in a pot for the rest of my body. I used the Eucerin brand cream and then tried the off brand and there was *no* difference, except for a radical savings price wise. I slather it all on *while I'm still damp from the shower* I only dab off the big water droplets. It won't be nearly as effective if you dry off the water. I have very dry skin, by following these directions it has really helped, for me anyway.

After years of kicking around the idea and perfecting my receipe and marketing ideas, I created http://www.luvscrub.com/Home_Page.html The Luv Scrub. I started out thinking I would create the concept much like all the others, but noticed that my husband loves sugar scrub too. So, I decided to make and market towards couples in their 30 somethings. Romantic and reconnecting would be the concept. Date Night in a Box, The Weekender, The Great Escape are the names of the packages. Please check it out and lemeknow what you think.... email me with any questions, and thanks for the forum. customercare@luvscrub.com Here is a link that might be useful: The Luv Scrub
