Update after using this morning: I think mine will be all used up in much less than two weeks at this rate!

I really liked this product but I just went to use it and I ended up with a handful of oil... I am glad to see that others have had this happen as well :) I was wondering about sticking in the refridgerator and see if it would solidify again? I have the deodarant bar and like that as well but this one just felt really nice on my skin.... now if I could just figure out how to slavage it!

I do agree that it is the heat that melts the ingredients and that the liquid sits on the bottom waiting to be squirted out first...I always shake it before using....
I think I will try the bar for DH though, it will be harder for him to overuse, and he'll get too impatient to overuse it anyhow...hehe,
I love the lotion but I also don't feel it is something I can afford to spend so much on regularly. I wonder if one was to mix it with their own oils, etc...if that would help?
I made my own after shower body oil mix (shea, almond oil, jojoba, avocado), and it works nicely but it is too greasy. This is what I liked with Karens is that is soaks in nicely and retains moisture without the oily mess on the skin afterwards. But I wonder if one were to add some oils to her mix, to be able to use it longer, if that would cause it to be oily on the skin afterwards...
oh, I wish I knew more about DIY things. :lol:
well, the bar it is then, at least it will last longer and no chance of it going to waste.
