SaraScribbles Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Hey all,I made body butter and sugar scrub last month using sweet almond oil and need to make somemore, but was wondering if there was another oil that wasn't as greasy as the almond oil?Any help or thoughts would be great!TIA,Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Jojoba and fractionated coconut oil are nice used together. FCO lends a smooth feel. I noticed a big difference in feel once I started using them together.I haven't tried a lot of other oils since I'm relatively new to making them. I know others here have a lot more experience and may be able to suggest others that work well to reduce the greasy feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaraScribbles Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 Thanks Brenda! I never would have thought of combing the two. What was the problem with using just the one, if you don't mind my asking?Oh yeah, still open to ideas, anyone else got anything??TIA,Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crafty1_AJ Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I love avocado oil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simone Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I have an oily skin type, so I make my scrubs with lighter oils that penetrate quickly, and don't leave a heavy greasy film. I don't always use the same thing. It depends on my mood. Sometimes I only use one oil, and when I'm feeling adventerous, I'll use several. My favorites are macadamia, rice bran, grapeseed, and hazelnut.Simone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sad72 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 My fav oils are rice bran, FCO, jojoba and avocado (it's a little on the heavier side but I have dry skin...so works for me.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
