| I always seem to have several bottles of this lotion sitting around, usually gifts. It smells great but I want to use my actives so I tried adding my LAA powder to it. I ended up with a ph of 3 on my first try and with a little experimentation got it to 2.5, both with no irritation. I guess I'm wondering if I'm wasting my LAA. Any opinions? |

| What are the ingredients and the pH of the product itself? |

Honestly, it is not that you are wasting you LAA - I just think the ingredients for that lotion are terrible. Bath and Body Works lotions are all about the scent, not the actives or quality ingredients.
Just my two cents for what it's worth. |

| I agree the lotions aren't quality ingredients and I don't buy them. However I seem to receive them as gifts quite often and they do smell nice so I'm trying to make them better. |

got it! 
I get them sometimes as well.
I guess you would not be wasting your LAA because is is pretty cheap.
The other alternative would be to add some good carrier oils.
Sorry not much help |
