Azlok's Skin Therapy Lotion Base (Ready to Use) is a pre-made white, viscous lotion formulation that you can use as-is or customise by stirring in your own oils, extracts, actives or fragrance. It saves you the tricky work of emulsifying oil and water, so you get a smooth, stable moisturiser without a lab setup.
What is a ready-to-use lotion base?
A lotion base is a finished emulsion of water and oil that has already been blended and preserved for you. Instead of measuring out emulsifiers, heating phases and hoping they combine, you start with a stable cream and simply add what you want. This base is built around water, glycerin, paraffinum liquidum, petrolatum, cetostearyl alcohol and dimethicone, with oat straw extract and soybean oil for a softening feel. It is vegan friendly and carries a shelf life of about 24 months.
Because the emulsion and preservative system (methylparaben, propylparaben, DMDM hydantoin, disodium EDTA) are already in place, you can focus on the fun part: creating a lotion that suits your skin or your product line.
Common uses
- Everyday body lotion: Use it straight from the container for daily moisturisation.
- Custom face and hand creams: Blend in small amounts of carrier oils or actives for a richer or lighter feel.
- Scented signature lotions: Add cosmetic-grade fragrance or essential oils to create your own range.
- Small-business production: The larger 5 KG to 20 KG packs make it practical for home brands, salons and gifting hampers.
How to use and customise it
- Start clean. Sanitise your bowls, spoons and packaging jars with isopropyl alcohol to keep your batch hygienic.
- Weigh out your base. Take the quantity you want to work with, for example 100 g.
- Add your extras slowly. Stir in carrier oils, water-soluble extracts or fragrance a little at a time. As a general rule, keep total additions modest (around 1–3%) so you don't break the emulsion.
- Mix gently but thoroughly. Fold in additions with a spatula or a low-speed mixer until the lotion looks uniform.
- Fill and label. Transfer to clean jars or pump bottles and note the date you made it.
If you are adding essential oils, use them at low, skin-safe percentages and remember that this base already contains fragrance allergens such as linalool, limonene, citronellol and geraniol, listed for transparency.
Tips and safety notes
- Patch-test first, especially after adding your own actives or fragrance. Apply a small amount to your inner forearm and wait 24 hours.
- Don't over-add liquids. Too much oil or watery extract can thin or split the emulsion. When in doubt, add less.
- For external use only. This is a cosmetic lotion base and is not to be ingested. Keep it away from children and out of the eyes.
- Avoid contamination. Always use a clean, dry spoon; never dip fingers into the bulk container.
- Manage expectations. It soothes, moisturises and helps support the skin barrier, but it is a cosmetic product, not a medicine for skin conditions.

FAQ
Can I use this lotion base without adding anything?
Yes. It is ready to use straight from the container as a moisturising lotion. Adding oils, extracts or fragrance is optional and only for customisation.
Is the Skin Therapy Lotion Base suitable for all skin types?
It is formulated to suit all skin types. As with any new product, do a 24-hour patch test before regular use, particularly if your skin is sensitive.
How much fragrance or oil can I add safely?
Keep additions small, typically around 1–3% of the total weight, and mix gently. Adding too much can destabilise the emulsion and cause the lotion to separate.
Is this product vegan?
Yes, the base is vegan friendly. Do check any ingredients you add yourself to keep your finished lotion vegan too.
What is the shelf life?
The unopened base has a shelf life of about 24 months. Store it cool and dry, and use customised batches promptly for the best quality.
