16 oz vasoline, 16oz baby lotion, and 16oz vitamin E cream.

The receipe said to use2bottles of lotion and 2 bottles vitemin e and 1 bottle of vaseline of 16 ov.

Is it correct to use 16 oz.of each to do receipe?

I use products from Dollar General,
1 regular baby lotion, pink, 15 oz.
1 purple top baby lotion, "bedtime" 15 oz,
1 7.5 oz jar of vaseline
2 jars of Vitamin E cream, "Fruit of the Earth"brand, 4 oz each. These are usually packaged together.

Mix items together and enjoy.

I use the tubes of creamy vaseline. It is easier to mix and goes on smoother. I also use any lotion that I like the smell of.

I use 1 tube of creamy vaseline, 1 jar vitamin E cream, and 1 bottle of lotion.

Sometimes I will use a non fragrant lotion and add a few drops of fragrance oil that I like.

This recipe makes a REALLY big batch! I used the whip attachment on my hand mixer to get it all mixed, but it turned out great and I really like the way the cream feels. I refillled the two vitamin E cream jars and put the rest in a tupperware canister, which I put in the fridge, well labeled of course :)

It does make a lot. I put some back in the vit E jars for me to use and some in decorative jelly jars to give as gifts. I also put the leftovers in the frig. It is good stuff.

Sounds like a good recipe

I can't wait to try this! I like the lavendar scented baby lotions, so it will already have a slight scent.

Thanks for sharing these recipes!!!!
