    This is great. I made my first batch, shared with family and friends. They all thought it was great! I did use the whip attachment on my mixer and it turned out fluffy. I will make this again...really helps dry winter skin!!

    Been using this for years---I use 2 tubes of "creamy" vaseline---not as sticky---also add a bottle of my favorite Bath and Body works lotion for scent---I like Moonlight Path which is lavender based---usually make a double batch---use it every day all over---often get compliments about how 'good ' I smell

    our homehealth nurse gave this to me 2 yrs ago, only instead of the vaseline she said to use the small can of crisco shortening. melt the crisco and add the rest of the ing. makes a really smoothe cream, and feels soooooooooooooo good.

    why not just use 8oz of each so as not to have such a large batch to store?

    I found that if you put the baby lotion in the microwave about 30 seconds , everything will mix together smoothly. No lumps.
