Features

• Lotion kits are frequently prepackaged with everything that you need to create your own bottles of lotion. This includes unscented, uncolored lotion, which is sometimes known as lotion base. Kits also generally include dyes and perfumes, plastic bottles with lids for filling your lotion creation and labels to package your new lotions. These types of kits typically have just enough supplies to make a few samples of lotion.
  
  

Significance

• According to the kit sales company Brambleberry Farms, a crafter's kit, such as a lotion making kit, is a good way to learn the basics of a new craft. If you are considering taking up lotion making as a hobby, then a kit can give you enough experience to help you decide if you want to delve deeper into lotion making. You can use a selection of kits for group arts and crafts projects.
  
  

Advantages

• A lotion making kit can be had for less than the component items if purchased individually, and it contains just enough supplies for you to get an idea of what making lotion as a hobby is like. These kits are also packaged for gift giving to family members or friends who are crafters. Additionally, some people have used the kit to create one-of-a-kind, personalized gifts on a budget.
  
  

Disadvantages

• For crafters who purchase supplies on a large scale, the lotion kits are comparatively high priced for the amount of lotion, bottles and labeling tools that you receive. However, there is not an effective way to purchase the component items for making lotions in quantities as small as what you receive in the kits. Unless you plan to start making lotions as a large-scale hobby, then you will have surplus supplies if you purchase the component items separately.
  
  

Warning

• Lotion kits typically contain dyes and perfumes. People with sensitive skin may have a reaction to the oils or other ingredients in the lotion base. Lotion kits come with lists of ingredients printed on the packages, as well as inside the kits. You should read these ingredient lists before considering a purchase of a lotion kit. Additionally, all lotion bases, and lotions should be patch tested, by applying small amounts to the inside of the arm before using large quantities of your lotion.
