Comments
This lotion is very light. I will keep its shape somewhat but not for long periods of time. It is an easy recipe and can be completed in about 30 minutes. Makes 16 fluid ounces.Enjoy! Tina
* If using the 200x strength of the Aloe powder cut this amount in half. The aloe powder can easily be omitted.
