Thanks Liz You always have so much info to share - much appreciated. I've been using my lotion and loving it (especially since swimming is so drying on skin) only thing is because I used so much eos I don't put it on my face but body is OK. I'll be making another batch this weekend just for my face. It's amazing - I feel so proud and feel like I have accomplished so much by making lotion (something I've wanted to do since I was about 14). I've been telling everyone I know. Happy, happy happy!
