Kelsey with Bramble Berry says December 19, 2017 at 9:38 am Adding more water will make it thinner and can also help with that oily feeling. Typical lotion recipes are 70-80% water, so you can add up to 80%.

Argan and avocado oil are good options. Argan oil: https://www.brambleberry.com/Argan-Oil-P5574.aspx Avocado oil: https://www.brambleberry.com/Avocado-Oil-P3198.aspx Log in to reply to this comment >
