Azlok's Goat Milk & Honey Lotion Base is a ready-to-use, alcohol-free body lotion that you can apply straight from the jar or lightly customise with your own fragrance. It combines goat milk powder, honey and skin-friendly botanical extracts to give deep, long-lasting hydration with a lightweight, non-greasy finish.
If you make or sell natural skincare, this base saves you the trouble of formulating an emulsion from scratch. The oils, water and thickeners are already balanced, so you get a smooth off-white cream that is stable and easy to work with. Home users, on the other hand, can simply treat it as a finished body lotion.
What is in it, and why it matters
The formula leans on time-tested ingredients. Goat milk powder and honey lend gentle moisture and softness, while glycerine and sodium PCA pull water into the skin. You will also find familiar botanicals — aloe vera, licorice, ashwagandha, cucumber, hibiscus and turmeric extracts — alongside niacinamide, allantoin, sweet almond oil, jojoba oil and vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate). Cetearyl alcohol and glyceryl mono stearate act as emulsifiers, and phenoxyethanol keeps the batch preserved. The consistency is thick and creamy, and the whole thing is alcohol free.
Common uses
- Everyday body lotion: apply after a bath to lock in moisture on arms, legs and torso.
- Base for custom skincare lines: small brands can add a fragrance or essential oil, label and sell.
- Dry-season care: a richer option for winter or air-conditioned environments.
- Post-shave or post-sun comfort: the allantoin and aloe help soothe skin that feels tight.
How to use it
For direct use, take a coin-sized amount, warm it between your palms and massage into clean, slightly damp skin until absorbed. A little goes a long way because the base is concentrated.
If you want to personalise it, work in small batches:
- Weigh out the lotion base into a clean, sanitised container.
- Add your fragrance or essential oil slowly — usually well under 1% of the total weight for skincare. Do not overdo it.
- Stir gently but thoroughly with a clean spatula until evenly mixed. Avoid whipping in air bubbles.
- Transfer to airtight bottles or jars and label with the date.
Because the emulsion is already complete, avoid adding large amounts of water or watery extracts, which can destabilise it or shorten its life.
Safety and patch-testing
This is a skincare base for external use only. Do not ingest it. Even though the formula is gentle, we always suggest a patch test: apply a small amount to your inner forearm, wait 24 hours and check for any redness or irritation before regular use. Keep away from the eyes and out of reach of children. If you are adding essential oils, respect safe dilution limits, since undiluted oils can sensitise skin. Anyone with a known allergy to any listed ingredient — including milk proteins or nut oils like sweet almond — should avoid it. Azlok can share the COA and MSDS on request for bulk buyers.
Buying and storage tips
The base is available from 500 Gm right up to 25 KG, so you can start with a small pack to test before committing to larger quantities for production. Store it at room temperature in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight and heat. Kept this way, the shelf life is around 24 months. Always use clean, dry utensils when scooping to avoid introducing contamination, and reseal the lid firmly after each use. If you decant into smaller jars, sanitise them first.
FAQ
Can I use the Goat Milk & Honey Lotion Base directly on my skin?
Yes. It is a ready-to-use body lotion, so you can apply it as is. Adding fragrance is optional and meant for those customising their own products.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
The formula is alcohol free and includes soothing ingredients like aloe and allantoin, which many people with sensitive skin tolerate well. Still, do a 24-hour patch test first, especially if you have milk or nut allergies.
How much fragrance can I add?
For leave-on skincare, keep fragrance or essential oils to a small fraction of the total weight and follow the supplier's recommended usage rate. Adding too much can irritate skin and destabilise the lotion.
Does it need a preservative if I add ingredients?
The base already contains phenoxyethanol as a preservative. If you add water-based ingredients, you risk diluting that protection and shortening the shelf life, so it is best to add only small amounts of oil-soluble fragrance.
What is the shelf life and how should I store it?
It lasts about 24 months when kept at room temperature in an airtight container, away from sunlight and moisture. Use clean utensils each time to keep it fresh.
