Having done soap (and lots of plans for more), what about a simple moisturiser recipe?
I have olive oil, sunflower oil, coconut oil, palm oil.... surely some of that could be turned into moisturiser of a sort.
Not too concerned about herbs and special properties, just a plain, simple recipe would be nice.

Have you thought about making a simple infused oil? I use homemade lavender and calendula oil all over after i've had a shower and it keeps your skin nice and soft. Plus its really easy to make if you are interested? Just pick a smelly herb of your choice, enough to half fill a small pyrex dish, submerge this completley in an oil of your choice and heat it gently in a double boiler for about 3 hours, strain and voila, a lovely moisturising oil. I also use it on my face with great results, some people are hesitant about using oil straight on their face, but thats the only moisturiser I use and it works great.
