Can I make lotion using this oil?

Yes, this is not food grade but is great for skin. In fact it is sold by a company that makes products for soap makers. Go look at their website. I use it straight on my skin after showering. http://www.essentialdepot.com/

I'm sure you can, I use it in my hair products. Recently, I've treated my daughters eczema on her hand with it. It's very oily so you don't need much.

You can mix this oil with different ones to make lotions. A lot of people will use Shea butter and whip them with different oils that can be used on both skin and hair. It takes a little bit of research for the best combination. Not sure about Perfume, but I'm pretty sure so long as it's diluted. You can look up the difference between essential oils and carrier oils.

No, you would use cocoa butter, coconut OIL, or shea butter. see a recipe at www.wellnessmama.com

While I use sweet almond oil in my lotions, I use this product to make soap and wouldn't hesitate to use it in a lotion recipe containing olive oil.

Yes, this product is GREAT! But to use, take it from its original shape, and melt it in the microwave, to make it a lotion. I add other humectants to create a truly wonderful lotion. Let your knowledge of your skin lead you to add-ins, so the final product is something your skin loves to drink in. Have Fun!

I used it to make homemade lotion so if you have a recipe that calls for Shea butter then yes!

I do not believe so. This has been heated, no matter what they claim. Turns brown when melted (should be clear) and does not have coconut scent. This is OK for a body oil, but would not use it to cook with unless you can only afford this price. You get what you pay for with these oils and the bit more is well worth it. I use it for hands and to put in my dog's food. Good for dog's coat. Hope this helps to make a better choice.

Hi Pegaboo,Yes, you can use lotion with it, as long as it does not contain any exfoliating beads. We also do not recommend using a lotion that is very thick. Please keep in mind that you may need to adjust the volume settings using the 'plus' and 'minus' buttons, depending on the consistency of the product that is being used.Best,simplehuman

I cannot imagine why not. It is 100% cottonseed oil (if my memory is correct, I am out of town and cannot check the bottle right now). When mixed with water I just rub it in in place of body lotion. It may be a bit oily to put it on directly, and then put on clothes. But, perhaps it would work just fine.

This oil is very light it can be used in lotions or without lotion on your skin. It can also make your hair grow,and feel soft just rub some in your hand and massage it through your scalp or put some in your hair ointment. I love this oil

I used mine in lotion. I had to melt it down to allow it to mix with the other oils. It does harden again.

I bought these as a gift, so I haven't used them. However, they are oils not essences, so I don't think you can.

Yes you can, but I'm not sure about the amount since these are very very concentrated oils. It would be best to Goggle for information

Yes, you can. The smell is very pleasant to most, and some people use this oil for perfume, but some think it has a mustier smell than rose oil (which is much more expensive).

Yes it's sweet to the taste, but when making lotions and soaps you use a very small amount. There are a lot of DIY sites out there that you can learn and/or get more information. http://www.littlehouseliving.com/how-to-make-homemade-lotion.html

I used it to make lotion. I mixed it with coconut oil and almond oil. I melted the ingredients together then let them cool until the outer part was solid. Then whip it in a mixer.
