| I know the Autumn Moisture Maintenance seems appropriate for a season when leaves turn orange and fall to the ground, but this lotion is an awesome moisturizer for any time of year. This is the perfect light lotion for the winter hooligans that you call family and friends, whether they enjoy skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, or skating. I love this lotion for the light feeling and for the easy absorption by the skin. I’ll bet you will enjoy this lotion too!

I just made this today and it turned out too liquid. I’m not sure if there is too much water, but I’m having a rough time trying to make it solidify.
Wow, I’ve never made a cream with only oils before. (I always include Butters too) So this sounds really interesting. Also, I recently bought some Tamanu oil from your store, and I just tried some of it straight last night on this nasty spot of Eczema I have, and in turn, got it on my hands. Oh my god, it feels so heavenly! I think it is my new favorite oil. And my ankle (where I have bad eczema) looks WAY better, less inflamed and cracked. I had been using this steroid cream, but since I make natural products, I hate using it, but it’s all that has worked so far.
But I think I will keep going with Tamanu Oil, I think it might do the trick, and I can kick that Steroid cream!
Thanks!
I received my package of Shea Oil and Cranberry Seed Oil in the mail Friday, and made this recipe today. I agree with the first comment, this is too much water. 602 grams is equal to about 2.5 Cups. I stopped adding water at 1 cup, and that is a bit thin. I’d say, add 3/4 cup Water with a tsp of Borax (sodium borate) dissolved in the water.
