    You can always use a piping bag and tip to fill the lotion jars, it's cheaper than the machine

      Just came here to say the same thing, you don't even need a tip, just fill a large piping bag, snip off the tip and pipe the lotion into the jars

  • @AllBubbledUpSoap

    I haven't been able to justify getting a lotion pump thing yet either. But I use a ziploc bag when doing my lotions because I only make a few at a time. It works wonders! I do the same thing with my body butters. Acts as a piping bag.

  • @vernahrris5601
    @vernahrris5601 Год назад +2

    To fill jars, I put it into a plastic gallon bag and snip off one of the bottom corners. I can also use the bag again and store the left over lotion in it until I need it again. I've tried the way you did it this day, but I found it too messy for me. When I have accomplished the recipe and jarred it, I don't want a large clean up. I love your videos and you give me inspiration to keep going!

    ❤❤❤ I have never used xanthan gum in a bubble whip base. What does it bring to the formulation? I have also been looking at fillers but decided to get a homogenizer first. I love it. No more deflated cream settling due to excess air during processing. Amazon has some more affordable options if you are thinking about one too. ❤❤❤ 😊

    Hello! Could you do a video on how you determine etsy shipping settings? I saw you have some from a few years ago, but would love an updated one now that you are getting started in the USA. I find most of the current videos on RUclips are for shirts so they don't include the weight of padding or free samples. This part of Etsy makes me feel bamboozled.
