Ingredient Key Points
- Cloud Cream Body Souffle Base: Our cloud cream is a light and fluffy body lotion when whipped. Expertly formulated, it moisturizes the skin without feeling heavy, making it the perfect carrier for shimmer.
- Angel* Thierry Mugler Type Fragrance Oil: This timeless fragrance complements this product. It has notes of powdery vanilla, touches of bergamot, and a base of patchouli.
- Glamorous Shimmer Mist Base: This base is usually used as a body spray. It has a fine microcrystalline mica that creates a sparkling effect on the skin. However, it will serve as the shimmer aspect in this recipe.
- Liquid Colorants: Pink and Violet: For this recipe, we will make the lotion purple and the shimmer pink. You can switch up the color if you want a different look.
- Vanilla Stabilizer: The fragrance oil contains vanilla and may cause the lotion to darken or brown over time. Mix the fragrance at a 1:1 ratio with the vanilla stabilizer before adding to the base.

Does shimmer lotion wash off?
