Jami Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I have never tried it. What are the ingredients? That would be a good starting point to see what is used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beesweet Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I imagine you'll be hard pressed to even come close to this with basic ingredients of oils, water, and emulsifiers. The combination of emollients, film formers (incl. proteins), thickeners, etc. all work together to give the luscious feel yet fantastic absorbtion and silkiness. Alot of grief can be given to BBW for the chemicals and other ingredients they use, but this line was one of the better ones and kudos to their formulators. Judging by the price tags, they knew it, too. Unfortunately, that's probably the reason they pulled it in the end.Sweet almond protein can be seen in many high end moisturizers. I've been hoping one of the suppliers would eventually be able to source this from Cognis.The FO percentage could go either way. I have a feeling that BBW uses more than the 1-2% common among homecrafters/smaller companies, but the remaining ingredients at only 1-2% each isn't a stretch either.

Sharon in KY Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 That stuff was wonderful and I'm sorry to see it go. Smelled great and the scent lasted like good perfumes do. I loved the sugar cookie but loved them all. It jar lasted for a long time too. I wish I could find a higher end cream or lotion for my family and me. I also loved there lotion with silk but I didn't like the scents. I'm more a desert type, not the musk or flower, don't even care for the fruit much. Guess it's a vanilla thing.
