I worked with a lovely young Swedish woman a few years ago and she taught it to me. My background is Dutch and I could understand a lot of what she said when she spoke in Swedish. It was fun.

I started making bath teas. Used polysorbate 20 along with fragrance. Letting the mixture dry overnight. Hoping this will negate the clumping I’ve heard can happen.
Last night, I made a batch of lotion concentrate for the first time in over a year. I can't find my notes, but it certainly didn't go the way the pictures on the PDF show. I had to start mixing or it wasn't going to be possible because the top layer was very hard (I had to break it up) with soft oils underneath.
I made a tiny tester batch of lotion bars, following @Zing's recipe he so generously shared with us. I discovered I was out of jojoba oil, and I hate olive oil on my skin, so I used coconut oil and mango butter. I'm looking forward to trying it with a more suitable oil, but it seems really nice so far.
I made a big batch of Lip Serum using the DIY recipe - 30 pots of .5oz. Colored with just a hint of BB Rose Gold Mica and used a bit of Vanilla Mint Flavor oil. Tomorrow will be the Fruit Smoothie Lip Scrub from the same e-book. Love these recipes! I’ll package them together and it’ll make great stocking stuffers & little gifts
I surprised the heck out of myself today by making my first body butter. I had a couple loaves of soap planned and then my hands were dry and I was annoyed about it so I just looked up body butter and did one of those first.
