Ingredients:
15 oz. Olive oil
2 oz. Mango butter
3.8 oz. Emulsifying wax (e-wax)
2 oz. Shea butter
102 oz. Water
2.5 oz. Stearic acid

Directions
There are two things I hate about lotion: 1) It takes forever to rub in and it's greasy feel. 2) It seems like you have to keep re-applying it. This lotion took a while to create. I use the olive oil because it soaks in nicely. Shea for it's natural source of vitamins A&E and known sunblock protection factor. Mango is similar to shea, but helps cut down on the greasiness. This combination is great for me to use at work! I use a pea sized amount, rub it in, and I'm good to go for a long time. No greasy feel to my hands, and I don't have to keep putting it on."
