This lotion is slightly oily on your skin at first but it disappears rather quickly. I use this for my hands and body. It is great for dry skin - I love it! I also separated one batch into 4 small jars to give as gifts.

It is wonderful! I hope to get some as a gift!!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter even uses this lotion on her twin baby girls for diaper rash!
ReplyDeleteI did this recipe this afternoon. It is very oily and it does not disappear quickly on my skin. I guess I'll use it only at night ;)
ReplyDeleteIt is a little oily. I like to use it at night on my hands and feet before I go to bed or after a shower or bath. Your skin will feel wonderful when you get up! I did notice that I don't have to use very much, I was used to using so much of the store lotion for my dry skin. I have been testing a new recipe I will post if it works.I did read on a few sites to use equal parts wax and oil. Olive oil is a little more oily than sweet almond too. Thanks for the comment!
ReplyDeleteI also made this lotion with the sweet almond oil. My skin is very dry and it took about 15 minutes to totally soak in. I liked the lotion. Do you know how long it lasts in the jar? I'm giving some as gifts.
ReplyDeleteI made A LOT last time, it's almost gone and it's been almost a year, it still smells and feels the same. I don't leave it out where it can get too warm. It can melt and then it won't last as long, I keep it in a drawer in my bathroom. It could also be kept in the fridge, it will harden until you put it on your skin. Glad you liked it, it does make a great gift!
ReplyDeleteThis lotion is magic! I made it with sweet almond oil (with vitamin e already added), coconut oil, and a 2 oz block of beeswax. I loooove this lotion, can't stress that enough! I made 12 little jars already and gave most of them out as gifts. I kept a few though :) this is my new favorite lotion. It's very unlikely ill ever use anything else. It does go on a bit greasy but it soaks in beautifully.
ReplyDeletewhat size are the jars 2oz or 4oz?
DeleteThanks! Glad you love it, it's our favorite too!
ReplyDeleteI just had to say HI! I've never met another Tammi that spells her name with two m's and an i. :-) That's the way I spell my name too. I'm going to try your lotion. I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteTammi...in Florida. :-)
Thanks for stopping by TammiA! I have to agree with you - our spelling is not common. I like it that way!! Hope you love the lotion!
ReplyDeletewhat size is your lotion 2 oz or 4oz?
DeleteI used 3 sizes of jars, 4 ounce, 8 ounce and 16 ounce. I like the larger size when I give this as a gift for foot cream. Thanks for stopping!
