I keep mine completely naked - no scents or colours added, so perfect for people with problem skin. I also regularly use mango butter. Mango butter is very nutritious for the skin and has wonderful conditioning properties. I like mango butter so much i have incorporated it into my stock standard recipe. also dabbled with lard soaps and never again. Everything just comes out smelling yuk!!
