I have used something very similar to this one....it is truly excellent for the sensitive skin. Olive oil can go rancid over a year of opening, so smell first before you use this. I put this in an lovely pump container that sits on my sink. I also have a pump at the kitchen sink as my hands are in water all the time....this helps re-hydrate them and leave them soft and smooth! Lovely product!!

I like how soft my skin feels after using this this evening. I doubled the lavender castile soap I used as per other reviews but I don't think I will next time. I also used rose water instead of plain water.

This leaves your hands VERY soft and smooth! So easy to put together too. I used liquid castile soap and added about an extra teaspoon for a little lather.

I cannot rave about this stuff enough! I added quite a bit of soap to it, like 1/2 a cup (next time will use Dr. Bronner's castille but didn't want to wait til I got the store to make it!) so that I could use it for a body soap. I have an oily face but dry everywhere else and this has been awesome on my skin! I have even used it as a shaving lotion and it works wonderfully. Thank you!
