Cheap doesn't always feel good. In soap (it is a wash off product) it is different than lotion (a leave on product). Could, but this is where the feel of the oil comes into play.

I know with soap you can add Hydrogenated Soybean Oil to soaps to cut down cost but could you to the same for creams and lotions? I had a quick question.

It is generally more viscous than lotion and generally comes in a jar. Notice I say generally. This is a rule that can be broken and certainly everyone has used a thickened lotion a time or two and would confuse it with a cream. So, viscosity is not a determining factor of whether a cream or lotion, it is oil content. But in general terms we can talk about a jar product and a bottle product as being cream or a lotion. This recipe is as good as any to start. The key to doing lotions is your notebook. If you keep fantastic notes you will be an excellent lotion maker in no time!

Would this one work? Or is there a more basic one you suggest to build from? Also what is the difference between a cream and butter? I'm not entirely sure.
