Bramble Berry’s customer service team (what a great bunch of gals they are) had another fun team bonding experience at Otion last week! They made cold process as a team too so be sure to check out that post if you missed it (Cold Process and Customer Service). Team BB delved into the wonderful world of lotion making from scratch using Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter and luxurious fixed oils. The class was taught by Otion’s newest addition, Alycia! She’s already a pro at teaching classes so if you’re local and interested, check out Otion’s class schedule HERE!

Everybody had such a great time working and playing together that they can’t wait to do it again! During the class each group made their own unique lotions blends, check out these recipes:
Rachel and Elizabeth: Applejack Peel and Moroccan Mint Fragrance Oil Blend, E-Wax, Stearic Acid, Mango Butter, Apricot Kernel Oil and Distilled Water.
Becky and Tina : Pomegranate And Black Currant Fragrance Oil, Cocoa Butter, Liquid Silk, Sweet Almond Oil, Avocado Oil, E-Wax, Stearic Acid, and Distilled Water.
Courtney and Carla: Vanilla Vanilla Cybilla, Sweet Almond Oil, Avocado Oil, Stearic Acid, Cocoa Butter, E-Wax, Carrot Extract, and Distilled Water.

Can you say more about this project “Teach BB Customer Service to Soap”? 🙂
What is the idea behind that? Who is the initiator?
I am like wow! Great idea for the units integration!
Hi Lora!
Most of us have been soaping for awhile and we decided we wanted to take a class together as Team Bramble Berry from Otion’s newest teacher, Alycia! It was fun to get together as co-workers and make what we spend all day talking about. =)

My fav oil to add is Evening Primrose! It feels so good on my skin and I think it smells so lvoely and earthy.
Evening Primrose is perfect for lotions, I’m a big fan of it myself! =)

wow,
I love that step-by-step instruction.
How well-organized it looks like.
I’m instruction making soap, creams etc. almost half of my life and I never came to the idea to prepare the instruction in that manner.
THX for sharing the photos, I’m sure they have had much fun
We did have so much fun! It was a blast making lotions as team, and totally want to do it again. =)

I wish I lived locally – I would definitely take classes at Otion. Looks like so much fun!

I wish I had somewhere to go and take classes in Miami 🙁
You should come and make a weekend class:)
Looks like all the girls had a lot of fun!!
