Here is my formula for a honey and colloidal oatmeal lotion. It is very light and skin soothing.

Notes:

• Effective preservative is required since oatmeal and honey are bug foods.

• Citrate buffer is used to keep pH acidic

• Beeswax is used as a thickener but is not necessary and can be replaced with another thickener or omitted

• Xylitol is used as a humectant and for its biofilm disruption abilities but can be replaced with another humectant (or more glycerin); it is highly toxic to dogs -- if you have dogs do not use xylitol

• If you want to be super fancy use certified manuka honey

• Colloidal oats in this case were used from an aveeno packet which was 43% colloidal oats which is computed by the spreadsheet to be used as the powder -- if using pure colloidal oats change the 43 cell entry to 100 (from 43% to 100%)

• Do not alter the weights except for the total weight on top

• Do not change the water percentage or the colloidal powder percentage they are computed automatically

• Change all the other percentages as desired

This spreadsheet can also be used as a template for making your own formulas if you wish.
