    Thank you for the suggestions. I have previously purchased stock bases but the ingredients aren’t very good as it’s slim pickins in Canada, all the good stuff is in the States and Europe! I found plenty of great suppliers online there.

    To clarify -by simple I just meant that I’m not looking for a pre-customized cream for a specific condition, or any fancy anti-aging ingredients already formulated in the cream. By simple I was just referring to requiring a base cream. I make small batch base creams at home that I customize as required, I just thought if I was looking to expand on a larger scale with time, I would rather a professional lab with proper testing formulate it rather than me doing this at home and not as professional… and it would save me time.

    Thank you. Right now that amount is too much… I have a full-time job and this is just something I am slowly transitioning into. One day I would like to transition over to this industry, but it won’t be with 5 gallons right away :0)

    I have seen facial mists like that too, but mostly on DIYer sites like Etsy and the sellers usually advise that you should shake the product prior to use. I usually keep essential oils out of facial mists and just purchase lovely hydrosols which already have a light wonderful scent… but if I do want to mix essential oil in a water based product like my home made mouthwash or husband’s aftershave, I use veg glycerine. It’s not perfect but it does the job. Approx 1 ml glycerine per drop of essential oil.
