Description
A, C & E Lotion Base
A quality lotion base does more than moisturize skin. It nourishes and protects skin with the help of key vitamins and extracts. Our rich, creamy A, C, & E Lotion Base does exactly that, leaving skin softer, smoother, and healthier than ever before. Ingredients like shea butter, safflower oil, vitamins A, C, and E, and a botanical extract blend of chamomile, comfrey, cucumber, and aloe vera make our ultra-moisturizing A, C & E Lotion Base sheer luxury for your skin.
No one likes dealing with dry, flaky skin
It can become irritated, and sensitive, and even lead to wrinkles down the road if not properly hydrated. That’s why we’ve put together an ultra-rich combination of botanical extracts and vitamins to create a lotion base that will not only nourish our skin but hydrate it as well.
It's all about the ingredients
Our ingredients have been carefully chosen to not only create a product that gives great results but also to offer an all-natural dry skin solution for all skin types.

Mixing Recommendations
Follow these steps for consistent results
Work at room temperature
Mix within a range of 20–25 °C (68–77 °F). No heating is required.
Add in the right order
Blend in fragrance or essential oil first, then colorant, then additives — adding each one slowly until fully incorporated.
Mix until uniform
Hand-mixing with a spatula works well for small batches. For larger volumes, use an electric mixer with a paddle attachment.

The recommended use-by date for all of our products is one year from date of purchase.

Can this be used as a face lotion? -
While the ACE Body Lotion is a rich lotion containing Safflower Oil and Shea Butter, if you find it’s not too rich for your particular facial skin, there is no reason you cannot use it on your face.

Hello question. Could this be used in a disc top squeeze bottle or should be in a pump? Also what is the fragrance load thank you -
While our ACE Lotion is nice and thick, it works well with a dispensing cap as well as a pump. Which to choose is really your preference. We recommend a 1% fragrance load (Pure, uncut, cosmetic grade FO) for this base.

Hi! Does the ACE lotion base need a preservative added to it? Or just fragrance oil? -
Hi Jillian, all of our bases are unscented finished product, ready to use as-is, or can be customized with fragrance and/or additives if you like. They are properly preserved and there is no need to add more. Thank you
