Memories of what I put on my skin in my "hay days," certainly come more vividly. My preference in my youth, was mostly Palmers Cocoa Butter lotion; I think it was relatively well known that cocoa butter was good for your skin and I loved the smell of Palmers-I can almost smell it now as I close my eyes.
Roughly 6 years ago, I made my body butter for the first time. It was necessitated by the need to find a natural eczema cream for my two youngest daughter's mild eczema. I spoke about it a bit in the "About Us" section of this website, but I'll summarize it here.
