What’s an In-Shower Lotion?
In-shower lotions are great formulations but interestingly, not many people are familiar with the concept. They are essentially oil in water emulsions that are applied in the shower, after you’ve used a cleanser. Leave the lotion to sink into the skin and then, after a minute or so, you will need to rinse it off and dab dry your skin with a towel. It is often talked about how important it is to apply moisturisers on damp or wet skin as they will lock in the moisture. This is what an in-shower lotion takes advantage of, you apply the lotion liberally onto wet skin and allow it to work its magic.

I live in India, if I want to make this product from where can I purchase the ingredients like green tea wax, watermelon extract
I'm from Bangladesh .. if I want to make those products
Where I can purchase those products
Thanks for sharing this
Could you write the ingredients in weight ?
thanks for this great video 🙂 at 75°C it would be better if we use water instead of hydrosols or simply use a cold process emulsification with hydrosols
why did you dilute it 10% to check pH?
In shower lotion means? When to use it? Before shower or for shower?
What thickener is recommended other than sclerotium gum…
For sure i will try this recipe and let you know🥰. It looks glorious! THANK YOU SO MUCH🥰
