I make my own cream, it's REEEEEEEEally easy, but not certified of course: 45g of liquid oil (sweet almond, olive, corn, whatever), 15g of solid oil (I use shea, but cocoa or even coconut will do), 15g of glycerine (I get veggie glycerine from the supermarket), 30g of emulsifying wax, 240g of water, a bit of fragrance and some drops of evening primorse of vitamin e oil to help preserve.
If you like it more liquid, like a light lotion, use half the emulsifying wax. I melt the oils, wax and glycerine together, boil the water, whisk it all up when it's liquid, and pour it into jars, adding the scent at this stage. It sets really nicely, creamy and rich. My hands feel lovely this morning. The recipe fills 4 120g pots.
Pikaki is apparently hawaiian jasmine, and is floral, but light, and sort of green smelling too. Very fresh and sweet. N.

I'm glad everything arrived okay. I'm very attached to the Nautica. I made it myself!
Hope you enjoy everything.
