2021 Note:

In the late 1990s, Majestic Mountain Sage was located in Orem, Utah, and Tina developed a recipe called “Royal Light Lotion with Aloe Vera.” It was taught as part of a lotion-making class and also included in a lotion-making kit sold at that time.

Royal Lotion was very popular, and customers frequently requested the recipe, but somehow, it was never published on the website or in a blog. And somehow, it got lost. In 2020, we found this recipe in a group of ad workups from 1998.

Percentages

74% Distilled Water
9.5% Sweet Almond Oil
5% Jojoba Oil
4% Emulsifying Wax
2.5% Freeze Dried Aloe Vera Powder
2% Stearic Acid
1.5% Glycerin
0.5% Sharomix AM24 Preservative (Originally Liquid Germall Plus or Germaben II)
0.5% Frankincense Fragrance Oil
0.5% Myrrh Fragrance Oil

Instructions:

Combine all ingredients (except preservative and fragrance oils) in a microwave-safe container. Heat the mixture to melt all the waxes using 30-second increments. Using an immersion blender, mix until all ingredients are emulsified.

Once the lotion has cooled below 120ºF, add preservative and fragrance oils. Finally, pour the lotion into containers and allow it to cool completely before capping.

Notes:

A wonderful fragrance for men. Sandalwood is also nice in this one.

This is a light lotion with little to no drag. It absorbs quickly but lasts a long time. This lotion will softly hold its shape for a few minutes but will eventually take on the shape of the container.

Add gold trim to the package, and call it Three Kings Lotion for Christmas.
