I've been seriously considering making my own body products, because I'm seeing it done more and more, and I'm tired of the nasty things in body products out there today. I want a healthy alternative.

I have very sensitive skin, I only believe in using botanical products - yet most products making "botanical" claims are in fact making false claims. I want them vegan, chemical-free, free of synthetic frangrances (sorry, kiwi is not an essential oil), not packaged in plastic (yuk!) and ethical. Sounds like I'm asking for a lot.
I've given up. I make my own and it's the best thing I've ever done.
Rosewater, palm based emulsifying wax, olive oil, shea butter, sandalwood (excellent for dry skin), coconut based cetyl alcohol, grapefruit seed extract and vitamin e.
Can make it right in your kitchen in a double-boiler with hand mixer. Easy.
I use it all over my body when I get out of the shower and use it on my hands every time I wash my hands or after doing the dishes. Best cream I've ever used.
