There isn't a single replacement, just other items that offer similar textures on the skin after application.

It will make a different cream. You might really be on to something so keep good notes. jaspersgarden-

If you desire to heat the water before making lotion that is fine, treat your water like you would for making infant formula. Long heating of oils is not suggested. Amy Warden-

I had to double my recipe! :) Whoops! The recipe makes about 17 ounces, and I filled a 2 ounce jar that I use for blog samples. Andee Lauri-

Then let it cool down before proceeding. I’ve always heard that you should heat your liquids to 170 degrees and hold them there for 20 minutes to kill any bacteria.

I have read many recipes but this is the first time I have ever seen how many of the products are made. Would Optiphen work in this recipe? mb I just love all of the pictures on your blog and they are so helpful.
