QUESTION:


How do you know what percentage the powder is?

Say you have 250 grams of powder, does that mean that you need to get three times as much lotion (like three times as many grams?) or whatever to make the 250 grams about 20% of the mixture?

Someone please help, thanks!

When you're buying the powder, the seller will tell you whether it is 100% mono or maybe 95% etc...

Let's say you bought 100grams of 100% mono and you want to make 20% mono lotion; then your 100g will mean 20%; therefore you'll need to add 80% lotion.

20% = 100g
80% = 100g/20 X 80 = 400grams (or liquid equivalent of 400ml) of lotion.

Hope you can understand...

Please note that mono is alcohol soluble, so make sure your lotion contains some alcohol ingredient, so it can disolve quickly in the lotion.

Wow that's confusing lol, I'll come post later if I have a question again, thanks.

Ok, I read somewhere on this forum (can't seem to find the thread again!), where Lovie1 posted this:

10% mono is equal to 135.55 grms,
20% mono is equal to 250.45 grms,
30% mono is equal to 280.55 grms
40% mono is equal to 386.55 grms.

And she said to get your choice of lotion 8 oz, 16 oz, 24 oz, or 32 oz.

I'm confused, which one is right? Anyone know?
