Love love love

Absolutely love this product. Use it to make my own body butter (with jojoba and essential oils). Only apply at night and I find it so creamy and hydrating, with the added benefit of not needing to apply much at all so a batch lasts me a good while! Will never go back to water-based moisturisers.
