Hi, Is the base ready to use? The product details read customization (additives and extracts). Can you clarify if your bases are ready to use and customize by adding fragrance oils? The ingredients listed appears to have the above items. Thanks -
Thanks for reaching out. Yes, all of our bases are finished product as-is ready to use unscented, or they can be customized with additions. Some formulas already contain vitamins, extracts, etc. Each is different. Hope this helps

I am loving this base. I was wondering what I can do to make it a little thicker but still able to use in a pump bottle. When I use it in the shower and my legs are little wet it gets super thin and just would like it to be a little creamier/thicker. Thanks -
Hi Heather, normally we would say you can add butters, but this base already has a high percentage, so in this case you can try the Lotion Thickener.

We’d suggest making test batches until you achieve your desired consistency.Hope this helps!

I wanted to test the shave lotion but did not want to buy a bucket. I liked your sample sizes. Can I order 1 to 3 of the sample sized base for shaving lotion? Also, is this the after shave or the shaving cream portion of the shave? Thank you,
Jack Matthews

Hi Jack, yes, we do sell a 4 ounce sample size of the Shaving Lotion and encourage everyone to sample prior to committing to a gallon. The Lotion is for shaving, but we do carry an Aftershave Gel as well. Here is a link: https://essentialsbycatalina.com/product/aftershave-gel-base/ Thank you!
