Help Filling Lotion Pump Bottle

RE: Help Filling Lotion Pump Bottle By Polly G (52) Contact Put your lotion into a plastic storage bag. Cut off a corner and squeeze the lotion into your dispenser. Wipe your hands with the bag to moisturize them for days afterward. I just did this a few weeks ago. Worked great and easy clean up.

I used to run a business making lotions and creams that we would sell commercially. We used the Cleveland Equipment LGGZ-250 piston filler to fill our products and it worked great. AS far as thinning out your lotion, just be aware that the oil and water in lotion is held together by a surfactant, and if you get the rations off, the lotion will separate. Also, the shelf life can suffer from "thinning". Hope this helps :) Posted on 06/11/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Help Filling Lotion Pump Bottle By j lane (Guest Post) I used to be in business making facial creams, body lotions, and medicated lotions. We did this commecially (on a small scale) and we used a piston filler to fill our bottles. We used the cleveland equipment LGGZ-250 piston filler and it worked great for our applicatoin. As far as thining the lotion out to fill into jars, I would not recommend this if you are selling the product. In order to mix oil and water, you will need a surffactant. While there will be surffactant in the lotion already, it will already be blended. Also you start get ratios off when you start thinning, so you may not end up with the same shelf life as you started with. Just a couple of things to think about....hope this helps any people who are looking into starting up a skin care business :) Posted on 06/11/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Help Filling Lotion Pump Bottle By Donna Mae (Guest Post) Just a thought, but why not try using an icing bag to fill your bottle with lotion? It may be easier to get the lotion into the icing bag than the bottle then squeeze the lotion into your pump bottle just like decorating a cake. Hope you find something that works for you.

After about a week of use with the new bottel, I add a little, just a little olive oil to the old bottel,shake it up well to mix, then put the two bottels together, using duct tape. Make sure you prope it well so it won't fall over. then the next day I remove the empty and the duct tape and throw them away - now I have a full bottel again - have been doing this for years - thank goodness for duct tape!!

(Guest Post) When I have that problem all I do is put a plastic funnel which fits the opening & pour in lotion Posted on 01/18/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Help Filling Lotion Pump Bottle By RealtorRose (Guest Post) Gosh, what great ideas...thank you everyone. Love the idea of the icing bag and I will definitely try heating it first.

VERY easy and no mess! God Bless! Sheila in Titusville, FL Posted on 01/18/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Help Filling Lotion Pump Bottle By Gina J. (85) Contact Yep--heating it works! I've made homemade lotions and baby butt stuff, and when it's nice and warm, it flows! Posted on 01/18/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Help Filling Lotion Pump Bottle By Donna Mae (1) Contact Just a thought, but how about using an icing bag? You may be able to get the lotion into the bag much easier than the bottle and then squeeze it into the pump bottle like you would icing. Hope you find something that works for you. I know what it's like to have something beautiful that you just love but can't find a way to use it!

You can even find smaller funnels at the dollar stores, that's what I use on some of the smaller bottles. I believe they came in a 3 pack of different sizes. Posted on 01/18/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Help Filling Lotion Pump Bottle By galmud (26) Profile Contact Put your lotion bottle in the microwave for about half a minute first (or if you don't have a microwave, put it in a pan of hot water). The heat will thin it a bit and make it easy to pour. I do this all the time.

Use a knife with a long, narrow blade to push the lotion through the funnel. Posted on 01/18/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse
