  Lotion using Olivem 1000

  Posted by AdmiralRedBeard on July 18, 2025 at 3:21 am

  Hi everyone,

  I’m trying to create a lotion using Olivem 1000 as my emulsifier and I am experiencing a couple of issues:

  1) the finished product seems to have a bit of separation - not a total separation

  2) the finished product will not dispense from an airless pump jar / treatment pump bottle / lotion pump bottle

  This is my formulation:

  Water Phase:

  Water - 62.05%

  GSB preservative - 1.50%

  Propanediol - 5.00%

  Solagum AX - 1.50%

  Oil Phase:

  Olivem 1000 - 4.50%

  Batana Oil - 3.00%

  CCT - 1.50%

  Castor Oil - 1.50%

  Cool Down Phase:

  Various extracts - 11.05%

  Amino Acids - 1.00%

  Vitamins - 2.40%

  Peppermint Essential Oil - 3.00%

  Sweet Orange Essential Oil - 1.00 %

  Vanilla Oleoresin - 1.00%

  Any advice is welcome.
