Title: LITMUS PAPER Post by: lynne on January 12, 2009, 04:59:53 PM I am going to try and make some lotions, but I haven't got any Litmas Paper or something to test the PH after I have made it.
Could someone help and let me know where I can buy it, or is there an alternative that I could use. Sorry if I sound vague, but this is new to me. Don't want to strip the skin off my bones. :clueless: Title: Re: LITMUS PAPER Post by: abigailbalfour on January 12, 2009, 05:19:25 PM Alas, litmus paper is not what you need - it only tells you whether or not it is acid or alkali, and not the actual pH. You really need pH paper or a pH meter. Unfortunately, mine of useless information that I am, I do not know where to get these. I just trust that I got it right enough...

Title: Re: LITMUS PAPER Post by: lynne on January 13, 2009, 09:21:57 AM Thank you, i did make some lotion and put some on yesterday and I still have skin - so maybe it is alright. Think I will do a search on Google for the paper - for next time.

Although I am sarah's customer, I have never posted. Try ebay for a pH meter, very reasonable priced. I prefer a meter as you can reuse and reuse so cheaper in the long run Title: Re: LITMUS PAPER Post by: EJ on February 15, 2009, 01:34:01 PM Quote Hi Although I am sarah's customer, I have never posted. Hi, Pop up to the introduction board and let everyone know your here - nice to have another lotion maker on board (I don't make lotions but there are a few questions from beginners) Title: Re: LITMUS PAPER Post by: madpiano on February 24, 2009, 11:38:13 PM you can try a tropical fish shop in your area, they sell PH meters (quite expensive) and Hagen PH tests (drop tests, the tablets would be useless for lotions) - just in case you would like to see the product, rather than buy blind on the internet (I am one of those weird people who would like to see and feel something before I buy it)
