Azlok's Head to Toe Lotion Base (Ready to Use) is a pre-made, white, creamy lotion you can apply straight from the container or use as a neutral base to build your own moisturiser. It is designed for full-body hydration, absorbs quickly without a greasy film, and is gentle enough for both face and body. Priced at ₹449 and available from 500 gm packs up to 25 kg, it suits home users, DIY makers and small skincare brands alike.
What is a ready-to-use lotion base?
A ready-to-use base is a finished lotion that has already been emulsified, preserved and balanced, so you don't need to weigh oils, waters and stabilisers yourself. You can use it as your daily moisturiser, or add your own fragrance, essential oils or extracts to create a signature product. This particular base is alcohol-free, has a medium consistency, and lists a shelf life of 24 months when stored correctly.
The ingredient list leans on familiar skincare actives and Indian botanicals, including Aloe Barbadensis (aloe vera), Glycyrrhiza Glabra (licorice) root, Withania Somnifera (ashwagandha), Cucumis Sativus (cucumber), Hibiscus, Curcuma Longa (turmeric), Niacinamide, glycerine, Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) and Goat Milk Protein. It is preserved with Phenoxyethanol.
How to use it
- As a daily lotion: Take a small amount, warm it between your palms and massage into clean skin. Use on arms, legs, elbows, knees and the face as needed.
- After a bath: Apply on slightly damp skin to lock in moisture more effectively.
- As a base for makers: Blend in cosmetic-grade fragrance oils or a low percentage of skin-safe essential oils, then decant into your own bottles. Add fragrance slowly and stir well.
Because the formula is lightweight, a little goes a long way. Start with a modest amount and build up rather than over-applying.
Tips for customising the base
- Work in small test batches before scaling up, so you can check scent strength and skin feel.
- Keep total added essential oil within safe cosmetic limits — a small fraction of the total weight is usually enough. When in doubt, use less.
- Use clean, sanitised utensils and containers to avoid introducing bacteria into the lotion.
- Avoid adding water or watery infusions yourself; this can dilute the preservative system and shorten shelf life.
Safety notes
This is a cosmetic product for external use only. Do not ingest it, and keep it away from the eyes. If you have sensitive or reactive skin, do a patch test on your inner forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use. Discontinue if irritation appears. The base is described as suitable for all ages, but for infants and anyone with a known skin condition, check with a healthcare professional first. Keep out of reach of children.
Buying and storage
The larger packs — 5 kg to 25 kg — are practical for small businesses and frequent makers, while the 500 gm and 1 kg sizes work well for personal use or trials. Store the lotion at room temperature in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight and heat. Always close the lid tightly and use dry hands or a clean spatula to scoop from bulk tubs. Under these conditions the stated shelf life is 24 months. If the lotion changes colour, smell or texture noticeably, stop using it.
Azlok supplies this base across India, and documentation such as a COA and MSDS may be requested for commercial use.
