Re: LOTION BAR

Bravotan and Unity excellent ideas. I've been toying with this idea since I opened and was wonderign how to do it. I was originally just going to buy a few bottles from Dist and set up a separate area, but I kind of like the idea of the pump dispenser, where can I purchase a pump dispenser station. I liked Red Lime too but also too expensive for me. Thanks so much. unity, you can mix the lotions? Like say if I want to do it with exisiting lotions, I can have them mix an accelerator with a bronzer with a tingle? Just for example can I have them ask for a pump of Rayz with a pump of say I don't know Crave/Intoxicating?, I know that's out there but just seeing how you can mix it up....thanks

Re: LOTION BAR

Ya, people mix a lot. The tingle we have is pretty strong but contains a little bronzer. To tone it down they usually mix something else in. Although that Tingle lotion alone is a top seller.

The stand-alone bronzer we have is pretty advanced, so some mix in a little plain accelerator.

Its all PL so I cant say what it is. But even with other lotions you can mix name brands. For best results I recommend mixing the same brands together though. No harm will come mixing different brands, but it may not mix well.

Re: LOTION BAR

Where do you get most pumps? I'm currently getting some really good priced ones from all hours. Some are lotions that were discontinued last .year but hey they're still good! I thought it would be fun for people because I have several who have 3 or 4 different lotins who mix them anyway.

Re: LOTION BAR

This may sound stupid, but, I haven't used pumps before. Do you buy the whole pump and dispenser or just buy the pumps and put them in the bottles of lotion that you choose to use?

Re: LOTION BAR

I searched and searched all avenues..I tried all the restaurant equipment suppliers without any luck or it was just WAY to expensive...

This was a demo station..I just got lucky..
I bet you could have a company make one for you. It is just a heavy plastic.

I paid around $250 about 2 years ago...

I think I was told it cost around $300?

Re: LOTION BAR

Ummmm.... were are you located and when do you close at at night... um, do you have a security system? LOL

I really never thought of restaurant supplies. I have a friend in that industry, well he sells kitchen supplies, machinery, fridges, etc... I will have to look at his catalogues. Thanks!

I wish lotion like this came in those large pouches, like ketchup for McDonalds does. It hooks into the station and pressure compresses the bag. Just press the button for ketchup, no pumping.
