Q: Can the lotion be used without adding anything?
A: Yes. It is a ready-to-use, fragrance-free hand and body lotion and does not need to be customised.

Q: Will adding ingredients affect the lotion’s stability?
A: It can. Added oils, water-based extracts, powders, fragrances or actives can change the texture, pH, emulsion stability and preservative balance.

Q: Should I customise the full container at once?
A: It is better to test a small portion in a separate clean container first. This makes it easier to assess the texture, scent and skin feel before scaling up.

Q: Can oil-soluble and water-soluble actives both be added?
A: Only when they are compatible with the lotion and suitable for cool-process incorporation. Some actives require specific temperatures, solvents or pH conditions and may not work in a ready-made base.

Q: Does fragrance-free mean the lotion has no smell at all?
A: It contains no added fragrance, although the natural ingredients can contribute a very mild base aroma.

Q: Can this lotion be used in a pump bottle?
A: It can generally be transferred into a clean, suitable lotion pump container, provided the packaging is compatible with its viscosity and the transfer is carried out hygienically.
