I have seen the mixtures in B & B, but have not tried them--but it seems like they are quite drippy with oils. The mix I made is an emulsion and rather " cream-like " ---very different from what I am remembering from B & B. It dissolved well in the water, but was somewhat foamy--should it be? It has a very nice after-feel---not greasy or waxy, but very silky-soft. I used melted shea butter, olive oil, magnesium sulfate, sodium chloride, cocobetaine/lactylate blend and some eo. But I am wondering if this is what is desirable---makes me want to go over to the mall to check it out! Thoughts???
