I don't know, I use this in honeybee hives to attract new swarms in the spring.

The Lemongrass Oil is one of the stronger scents! A little goes a LONG way. I made lotion with it using Shea Butter a while back. I used about 1/4 cup of Shea and whipped it using my mixer then added just a couple drops of oil and whipped again. I smelled it and added another couple drops. My best advice is to make your lotion this way, whip the Shea then add a drop or 2 of oil, smell it and add more a drop or 2 at a time as needed for your personal tastes. ENJOY!

I just used 16oz shea to 8oz coconut oil and mixed it with my stand mixer. I got a several month supply out of that and still gave some away.

Each bottle lasts me over two months, but I use probably 5-6 drops a day to remove makeup (smaller than dime size overall). If you use a larger amount or are really concerned, they don't take up a lot of space in your luggage. I also had no trouble with bottles leaking/exploding when flying internationally.

In the case of two 4 oz bottles you have two containers, two labels, and processing costs that are double the cost of a single 8 oz bottle. So it is always more economical to buy the larger bottle , if you need that much. Also, remember that shelf life is about a year from manufacturing because there are no preservatives in the product. So, this is what we recommend: for short hair and as facial moisturizer, 2 oz bottle; longer hair, facial moisturizer, some body use such as hands, feet, elbows, 4 oz; to share, set of 2 4 oz bottles; all uses, including whole body moisturizing and as bath oil; 8 oz.

I'm not sure. I bought the 4 ounce bottle. After I put on make up I use 4-5 sprays. My first bottle lasted me for about 10 months, but that was not with everyday use. If I used it every day it probably would have lasted about 7 or 8 months.

Jasmine, unrefined shea butter will last a very good amount of time if it is properly stored. It should be kept under cool conditions. Shea Butter has a lot of different vitamins in it, and under cool conditions, this butter will last you with it's good properties in it, at least one and a half years, but that is only if it is kept in cool conditions. After the year and a half , it can start to lose its vitamins, but it still will be a very good moisturizer.

I don't use it everyday - only a couple of times per week. You only need 1-2 drops. It took me about 6 months to use one bottle.

There are various ways to use this. It depends on what you are using it for. As a moisturizer, I just rub it between my hands until it melts and I apply it to lock in the moisture especially after showering. For hair, I have heard it is better to use it in conjunction with other oils as Shea butter does not moisturize but holds in the moisture. So at least mist the hair and apply other oils such as coconut, extra virgin olive oil (evoo) and jojoba or a combination of this oils plus some melted Shea butter. Then style the hair (twist, braid, etc.). Let it set for at least 5 hours, preferably overnight night or as long as possibly. When ready undo the style and the definition should be immaculate. There is homemade hair butter/ crme recipe on YouTube which I plan to try one day soon because it gets every high reviews and recommendations. Google it! I hope this information helps you.

Yes it's really tiny (only .5 ounces) and you can't just use one drop for your whole face. 1/8 of my bottle is gone after one use. So this bottle will last approximately a week. Ridiculous for the price. I just got it today so I can't leave info on if the serum actually does what it says.. But u only get a tiny bit

3.4 oz. 96g if you use it daily, it will last a month or more. I hate lotion but I swear by this stuff.

One bottle has around 1200 drops. so if you take 45mg (45 drops a day) then around 30 days. If you take less, say 5 drops, should last a good 4 moinths

The estimated application for a 8 oz lotion is about 4 applications or 2 oz per application ( on a shoulder length hair). The estimated application varies according to hair length and texture.

Based on the suggested usage below a bottle could last you anywhere from 1 to 2 months. Again depending upon how many times a day it is used the amount available will go down quickly. Suggested Usage: - Dispense any day/night moisturizer into the palm of your hand. - Turn the bottle upside down. - Press and dispense three drops into the moisturizer. - Mix well. - Apply evenly to face, neck, and chest. - Wash hands thoroughly and immediately after application. Thank you and we hope you are having a beautiful day, AVEYOU Beauty Boutique

1 Drop, 1 oz. is about 590 drops, so this thing will last you a little over 3 years. For it's health purposes, I'll go thru a bottle like this in 6 months. People in Japan where radiation is high go thru a bottle like this in less than a month to fill up their thyroid with iodine.

I use it once a week. My bottle has lasted me almost six months. You only need a little bit, just enough to coat the skin.

Exact number is hard to say. My first bottle lasted most of a year using it in the shower and for pain. Each spray emits enough to cover a forearm or shin when spread around and rubbed in. I did find it hard to get the last ounce out as this is a thick liquid.
