Been Looking For Chemically Tested Lotion Base
I have looked high and low for a lotion base that has been tested by a chemist. I am actually considering going into a bath and body home based business. I didn’t want to put any potential customers at risk. I wanted to buy the best base. I of course, was going to test it on my own sensitive skin before passing out samples. I feel so confident about your base that I will be buying from you. I see a lot of sites have bases but I am not sure about how safe they are. Some even have it posted on their site that it hasn’t been tested. I want to build a customer base not a court case.I’d also like to know if it would be alright for me to add other scents to this promising base? I found a particular fragrance oil that I would love to blend and offer for sale. I am really excited now about going into business. I also think you have some excellent prices on your bottles and containers. I just can’t believe I found your site. I didn’t want to go into the business blind and I have been doing research on FDA guidelines and trying to educate myself before doing this and I am just beat. The last thing I needed was a supplier that would be promising, one I could trust to have quality products. At last, I think my search is over. I also like the fact that my cousin and his wife own a clothing store and I think I will be able to work out an advertising deal out with them.I am so excited but still want to educate myself more.I look forward to doing business with you soon.Diane J.

Moisturizing Hand & Body Lotion
I mixed this lotion with unrefined shea butter and whipped it into a creamy butter. Oh my gosh!!! This is the BEST body butter/cream ever! My customers can’t get enough of it! This is what they are saying: EXCELLENT, AWESOME, AMAZING, FABULOUS, WOW!!!
Penny –
Awesome base!
My sister has eczema and I had sent her a bottle of lotion using your base. Well she didn’t use it until she had ran out of her Rx lotion and had to use something. She was hesitant because other lotions burn on her eczema, she was pleasantly surprised that not only did it feel nice, it didn’t burn!

Great lotion!
I must tell you, Essentials by Catalina is by far the best company I’ve worked with. They are there to take orders and answer questions about their products. Their lotion is exactly what they say it is. These are honest people.
Tina –
Better than Bath and Body Works
I did a comparison test BBW vs Catalina. Catalina absorbed leaving my skin feeling like satin. BBW left a greasy residue feeling on top of my skin.

Paraben Free Satin Hands
If you love the original Hand and Body Moisturizing Lotion Base, you will fall in love with this one. It is very emollient without being greasy. It left my skin silky smooth, soft and moisturized. I am an African American female and my skin does tend to get ashy but that was not the case with this base. I ordered a sample because I wasn’t too thrilled with the ‘original body base.’ I can’t wait to package and sell this product. I only gave it 4 stars because it has a pretty prominent scent. That being said, the scent can be covered with FO or EO but you have to add a little more than recommended. I usually use 7 drops or less of FO for a 4oz bottle of ‘original’ but I had to use 12 drops for this one. Love the texture, love the feel and so will you. Believe me, I am a tough grader but I give this one an A!
LACY –

JACKPOT!!!
I am a licensed Esthetician and a lotion fanatic. Believe me when I tell you that I have looked high and low for a lotion that even comes close to this! I live in New Hampshire where the winters can be very tough on the skin and this lotion is the best find since sunscreen! I am and will forever be a grateful and loyal customer to Essentials By Catalina. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us!

All That and a Bag of Chips
Feels like clouds, very fluffy, moisturizing with no greasy after-feel. This is great as a Facial Moisturizer (after using the Walnut Scrub). Leaves your skin feeling soft, supple and smooth. This is what everyone says about the regular Body Frosting and then some.

After trying a few other bases this is the best one this product surely helps in my ministry. May God continue to bless the hands of the producers. Eva’s Spiritual Garden Ministries.

Great Product!
I just received my lotion samples today. Some of them smell absolutely wonderful…others not so well. They absorb well and the scent lasts all day. Great Product! I will definitely be ordering my gallon bottles soon, and perhaps even ordering more samples. I wish the samples were cheaper; maybe in the future you could offer smaller size bottles for a smaller fee. Thanks for making a great product!
Susan –
Customers Love it!
I have been using this base for two years. I am a soapmaker and also make my own natural and organic balms and salves but didn’t have time or space for lotion making. I was happy to find this lotion base that I could add luxury and essential oils. Non greasy emollient, and sells well.
Rachel –
I Love This
I have spent the last 20 years trying to find a lotion that don’t break me out so we tried this and all my friends and family love it too. Thank you
Becky –
Excellent Base!
This base is amazing! I’d give it more than 5 stars, if I could. It adds incredible moisture and softness to the skin without feeling sticky, heavy or greasy. I also love how the moisture stays with you throughout the day … no need to keep applying it.
I’m really loving Essentials By Catalina’s bases. I was just searching for a Paraben-Free Lotion and now I’m switching over to them for all of my Bath & Body Base needs.
Great products and great prices!!
Susan – Vermont –

I have tried many bases over the years including making my own from scratch. Essentials by Catalina is by far the best.

Love this product, it leaves your skin smooth and the lavender has a nice fragrance, will buy again.
Zanai – USA –
The absolute best !
I am so happy to have found this lotion, and so thankful to essentials by catalina for offering it at a great price! After trying over 20 different lotion bases from various companies, this is mine and my customers favorite! It is thick, easy to scent, feels great and lasts all day. It also has the approval of people with sensitive skin, and ethnicities with very dry skin. My only complaint is if you only purchase 1 gallon, it comes in a container with a small opening that makes it difficult to get out.
NGO –
excellent product
Natures Gift Organics has used other base with much less results. This is a rich and creamy base straight from the bucket. The ingredients are just what we look for in a cream and produces a superior product. WINNER!
ChiCat –
Outstanding Product!
My friend bought gallons of this product, especially for me, the past two years, and I love how light and effective it is on my skin. I’ll never use another product, and I’m having so much fun experimenting this along with other products which I have purchased. I made the best facial lotion using your Unscented Hyaluronic Acid Gel cream with a few drops each of your Rosemary & Lavender essential oils, and my face thanks me!
