I made the hand foot cream from the recipe on here. Baby Lotion, Vaseline and Vitamin E cream (all 16 ozs). It looked fine and then I went on a trip (quilting retreat) and a higher elevation - and it separated and looked different - you could mix it with your finger, and then use it, it rubbed in OK. Any ideas what I did wrong, was it the elevation or something else. I gave a jar to my three quilting buddies. I was embarrased.

Baby lotion has water in it, they use an emulsifier to keep the oils and water in suspension. If there was a change in heat, elevation, and the percentages of oils (as in the addition of Vitamin E and Vasoline), the emulsifier has no way to keep all that in suspension.
