jojoba substitute?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

i've got a recipe here for a body wash:

Ingredients:

1/2 cup fine sea salt

1/4 cup Jojoba Oil

1/4 cup liquid soap

1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon essential or Fragrance Oil

My problem is that jojoba oil is *really* expensive. One of the reasons i

want to make my own body wash is because the stuff in the stores is crap &

is expensive.

Is there anything that i can use in place of the jojoba oil or can i omit it

all together?

any info is appreciated! thank you :-)

At a store in Toronto, Ontario called Down Under Health Foods. This store is

popular for it's low prices, but a smallish size bottle of jojoba oil was

$17! Is there anyone out there from Toronto that can tell me of a cheaper

place to get it? or a substitute???

thanks!

Not that my knowledge is really up to snuff...but what about safflower oil?

I've read it is supposed to be very light. One of my favorite suppliers

has this to say about it: " Safflower oil has a very high percentage of

linoleic acid and therefore helps to moisturize, nourish and restructure the

skin.  It is a nice oil for use in balms, creams and lip balm. "

Maybe someone out there with more experience could give it the thumbs up or

down?

HTH,

Hope
