Looking for body oil starters

[bodybym]

I've had a few requests for body oils, but don't know where to start. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

body oils

you mean like a massage oil?

i like to use dryer feeling oils that soften, soak in, but do not leave a greasy feeling.

some of these are fractionated coconut oil and jojoba.

i also like to add a little skin-nurturing oils like rosehip, shea oil, hemp or evening primrose.

here is a simple recipe to start:

makes 10 oz

7 oz fractionated coconut oil (70%)
2 oz jojoba oil (20%)
1 oz nurturing oil (rosehip,etc) (10%)

1/8 tsp vitamin-e (T-50 antioxidant)

Mostly an after shower/bath oil.

That sounds like a really nice oil recipe!

bath oil

for an after bath you might wish to substitue the fractionated coconut oil for sweet almond oil or my favorite-macadamia nut oil.

I make an oil spray with cyclo, jojoba, ipm, phenonip and fo. I love it after my shower!!! The ipm helps it not be so greasy.
