Heating up your lotion too much can also create condensation on the inside of your bottle once you transfer it.
If you want to add ingredients like essential oils or preservatives, you can do so as you are mixing your lotion.
The tip of the funnel easily sits into the top of your bottle.
Holding the measuring cup above the bottle as you pour helps it easily flow through the pour spout. If you do spill a bit of lotion, that’s okay! Simply use a paper towel or washcloth to wipe it off your surfaces or your bottles.
You can use either a plastic lid or hand pump, for example.
Fill the bag completely if filling a large lotion bottle or many different bottles. Add about 1⁄2–1 c (120–240 mL) of lotion into your bag if you are filling travel-size or small bottles.
If you cut a large chunk of plastic off the end, you will squeeze more lotion out at a time. This can get messy, so be mindful of how much you snip off!
If your lotion is not coming out evenly, use your hand to move the lotion towards the tip. That way, you can easily squeeze it out.
While this isn’t required, it makes it easier to fill your bottle to the neck.
If you have lotion left over in your bag, squeeze it back into your main container. That way you don’t waste any lotion. If your bottle has an applicator tube that goes inside, place this into the bottle first, then gradually lower the lid onto the top. Press down on the applicator a few times to release your lotion.
Most manual fillers feature a main fill tank, filling tip, and hand lever.
You can use a spatula to help you scoop the lotion if you are having trouble. Every machine is slightly different, so read your instructions to ensure you are filling the tank correctly.
This way, lotion does not wind up on your bottles.
This prevents the lotion from spraying as it comes out. In addition, it ensures you do not miss the tip of your bottle while filling it.
The lotion will come out quickly.
After your bottle is full, continue filling all of your bottles.
