I wonder how much I can put Jojoba oil/Grapeseed oil/etc to lotions? I have read somewhere at grapeseed will not last long and in soap it's good to use 5-10%? o_O Is it same with lotions?
 
I try to stay at or under 16% for oils in my lotions. I do use grapeseed oil in mine. I added some wheat germ oil to the mix and a pinch of vitamin e to get some oils in there that have a longer shelf life. And of course you need to add a preservative to it as well.
