Next, I will try it with shea butter and mango butter because I like the benefits of these butters, oh and yes there will be avocado oil also. I'll let you know how it goes!!

Here are the pictures of the lotion
These pictures are from my experimental recipe that I used just to see if I could get a nice lotion consistency that does not separate. I used beeswax as the emulsifier. I used olive oil and avocado oil. I really like this recipe! It is thick and creamy, it goes on a little greasy but it absorbs very quickly. It goes on a little thicker and shinier than the DREAM CREAM I got from Lush (which is my inspiration). I like it but it is a bit pricey. Hopefully, when I calculate my cost, I will be able to offer it for less.

It has been about a week now and the lotion is still holding up. The shea butter formula was too thick more like whipped body butter I guess. Anyway I don't like it. I think I need to use less butter and more water. And I am wondering how long and how well essential oils work to preserve lotions. Stay tuned.
