Thanked: 1075No worries.
I tried all ingredients individualy to see if they suited my skin and to be honest all would be more than fine by themselves.
As said only use a tiny amount warmed in your hands because too much will not be absorbed quickly.
This is free from chemical preservatives so store away from sunlight. Vitamin E is a natural preservative but it won't last forever, 18-24 months is a resonable shelf life to expect.
Have fun with the essential oil, my favourites are lavender, lime and a mix of cypress, bergamot and lavender.

Just got an alum block the other and seem to really enjoy that right after a rinse of cold water then some Thayers witch hazel. I've been having trouble finding a good AS balm or the like that my skin gets along with. I used some Nivea post shave balm the other day and to my surprise my face did not like that at all. I do actually enjoy the nice "burn" from those alcohol based AS but Im sure that cant be great for the skin. Mark that recipe sounds great thanks for sharing that, I think I will have to give that a try.
