Hi, I bought the Bramble Berry Lotion kit- the one uses Shea butter in the recipe. After I added the phenonip and fragrance oil I stirred it in but forgot to use my stick blender the last time. I noticed when I poured the lotion into the bottles that it was a bit lumpy especially towards the end of pouring. Is this because of the way I stirred or did I make another goof? Thanks!

It's probably because it was thickening as it cooled and you didn't mix it enough. I wait until my lotion is completely cool before putting it in bottles. I do stir it occasionally during the cool down to be sure it's smooth.

You have to use a stick blender. There is a possibility that the preservative didn't get mixed properly. If that's the case, you could be putting unmixed preservative on your skin, which could be irritating. You could try using a hand mixer, but since the lotion is already a solid, you're going to have a hard time putting it back in the bottle.

Thank you. Anne Marie said it didn't matter at that point and didn't know if it was my fault or not. Better safe than sorry I think though. I will know in the future. Thank you!

Oh that's no fun - lotion that separates.

Since the recipe has shea butter, stearic acid and e-wax in it, I'm guessing it's one of those things that might be making the product lumpy.

How does it feel and look now that it's sat for a day or two?

It feels wonderful. I love this lotion. It really reminds me more of a cream in a way because it's so thick and luxurious. It wasn't extremely lumpy, just a tiny bit and only toward the end of the pouring.

Thank you everyone so much for all the replies. I know I am going to drive you all crazy with questions, but this has become an addiction for me. :)

Edited for spelling
