We don't know that, really. We know from Slug's chat with LV that it 
takes a very complex spell, but nothing was said about a potion. 
There was a nasty green potion guarding the locket horcrux (which 
someone beat DD to). That serves as a protection for that horcrux. 
The other horcrux we saw was also a pensieve (TM Riddle diary). No 
potion in that thing, but ink (which was probably the memory 
substance instead of the clear liquid in an ordinary pensieve like 
the one DD has)'

"That's interesting, I had always thought that Voldemort (and his 
body) was vaporized when the AK rebounded on him. *WAS* his body 
just lying there in the ruin? I've never heard mention of a body 
before. But if there was no body, that brings up the question of 
how did anyone know he was gone? Unless someone else was there and 
witnessed it (conspiracy theorists, take your pick: 
Snape/Peter/Lupin/Hagrid/Dumbledore)." <snip>


CH3ed:
I'm under the impression that there was no LV body left after the 
failed AK, too. I think Bella, Crouch Jr, and the Lestrange brothers 
didn't know what happened to LV and were looking for him. Perhaps 
there was a witness at GH? or perhaps LV had planned a meeting with 
them after getting rid of the Potters (which he would have missed)? 
Guess we have to wait 2 more years to find out, ay? :O)

 I think some of the DE's know about the horcruxes since LV 
mentioned that they knew that LV had gone further along the path to 
immortality than anyone during the graveyard scene in GoF, but I 
doubt that they know much of the details (LV would not like the 
possibility of the bunch that know of horcrux locations getting 
together to dispose of them and LV).
