I had my husband test it out too and we both had to scrape off of our skin Bc it was so waxy. You said this was similar to Buffy which is a shower bar. Did I do something wrong or is this not meant to be a shower bar like Buffy?sparkflohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16698173742981690198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6345239182727702656.post-3314029008909086032012-11-03T21:17:12.233-04:002012-11-03T21:17:12.233-04:00I had to redo them as i added too much oil by mist...I had to redo them as i added too much oil by mistake.

Olive, almond, jojoba, grapeseed. I don't use palm oil as it is overharvested and is endangering the orangutans!
