[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 324821, member: 1991"] The Fijians use coconut oil. I've bouht bottles of it (really cheap) which I use as a moisturiser (I have heavy-duty skin!). They perfume it with sandalwood, rose or jsmine. If you want to do this cheaply yourself, buy a block of copha and add your own essential oil (or not, as you choose). Something I realised I use last night as an alternative to body butter - soy wax melts. I'm still investigating this stuff, if it is possible to buy pure soy wax and add my own essential oils, that would be the cheapest option. Just afrer easy child 2/difficult child 2's wedding, husband, difficult child 3 & I took a steam train trip to the Southern Highlands where there were a lot of craft sellers at a market, I bought some soy wax melts there. One lot I bought were coffee-scented, and I've been using that as a body rub/moisturiser. husband loves the fragrance! As it's sold to be used as a room fragrance thing (or added to candles) it is really cheap, but I love how it feels on the skin. Marg [/QUOTE]
