More About Our Cream & Lotion Making Range

At the core of any great lotion is the lotion base, and Baldwins
provides a high-quality, ready-to-use base that makes creating your
signature lotion both simple and customizable. Our lotion base is
formulated to be easily mixed with your choice of essential oils and
other active ingredients, allowing you to craft luxurious lotions suited to your skin type. Whether you're looking for intense hydration or a
lightweight, everyday lotion, our base is gentle, non-greasy, and packed with nourishing ingredients.

To add fragrance or therapeutic benefits to your lotions, we offer a wide variety of essential oils. From calming lavender to invigorating peppermint, our essential oils allow you to infuse your lotions with natural, skin-safe scents and aromatherapy benefits. Whether you’re looking to create a relaxing nighttime lotion or an energising daytime moisturizer, the possibilities are endless.

To complete your lotion-making kit, our elegant glass bottles with lotion pumps provide the perfect packaging solution. Not only do
they preserve your homemade lotions, but their sleek design also makes them ideal for gifting or personal use. For those new to lotion making, we also stock a book on aromatherapy lotions, providing step-by-step guidance on creating custom skincare products.

FAQs

How do I customise a lotion base with essential oils?

To customise your lotion base, simply mix in a few drops of your
preferred essential oil. Be sure to research dilution guidelines, as
essential oils are potent and only a small amount is needed to add
fragrance and therapeutic benefits to your lotion.

Can I use the lotion base on its own without adding anything?

Yes! Our lotion base is ready to use as-is. It’s a nourishing, fragrance-free formula, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin or anyone who prefers unscented lotions.

What are the benefits of using glass bottles with lotion pumps?

Glass bottles are eco-friendly and help preserve the integrity of your
lotions by protecting them from light and air exposure. The lotion pump allows for easy dispensing, making them both functional and stylish.
