Basic Lotion Base

Our Basic Lotion base contains Sunflower Oil and Allantoin. Native American Indians were the first to discover the healing properties of Sunflower Oil which is rich in Vitamin E that helps moisturize and regenerate skin. Allantoin is thought to have the ability to help heal wounds, sores and stimulate growth of healthy tissue. It is a skin softener and anti-irritant. It is similar to the Head to Toe Lotion but is less translucent in appearance. Great to use as is or you can add fragrance and color.

Common Uses:
