    Best oils & butters for severve cracked skin/eczema?

I don't plan to put any fragrance into the cream as it won't help with the broken skin and will cause more issues in itself. And I don't work with EO's anymore as I've stepped away from making soaps and such, o ly do...

    Need help on my percentages (receipe)

    Thanks for all your input and I'll change my recipe.

I'll leave out the Propylene glycol, and I purposely...

    Best oils & butters for severve cracked skin/eczema?

    I've never heard of using Vaseline & mineral oil in creams, wouldn't Vaseline make the lotion super sticky and mineral oil leave behind a oily mess on the skin?

    Formulating sun screen cream/after sun lotion

    What do you mean by this is the stuff?

    Formulating sun screen cream/after sun lotion

    So what I'm gathering is, it shouldn't be made. If that's the case why are there so many DIY for making Sunscreen? Also what about an after sun care lotion made with aloe Vera oil, is that even possible either since sunscreen isnt possible as an DIY?

    On the hunt for....

    I thought about it, but every time I use EO in cp, it fades fast or the lye just eats it so I'm too scared to spend more money on EO considering how expensive it is compared to FO, unless you do you know for sure if EO won't be eaten by the lye or fade, I buy all my EO from plans therapy...
