few people had cash, and when they did it went for taxes!  What do you make?
Let me tell you all the ingredients:
>
>
> Amazon Grease
>   a.. shea butter,
>   b.. st john's wort-infused olive oil (the wort I grow in my own herb
garden
>   c.. comfrey-infused olive oil (comfrey I get from a friend's garden
cause a beast was always munching on mine so the leaves never grew big!)
>   d.. calendula oil
>   e.. Vit E as a natural preservative for the organic matter
>   f.. Argan oil from Morocco (see my website for details on this wonderful
oil with amazing healing properties; excellent for exczema and post natal
stretch marks)
>   g.. beeswax
>   h.. oils of rosemary and lavender for scent.
> About the argan, for the rest of you.  if you dont want to bother going to
my site, go to www.targanine.com
> and read (u can select English or French) all about the Argan oil.  It is
also used for culinary purposes.  The seeds are first roasted and then
ground and then the oil is extracted.  I have a pot of a wonderfully sinful
mix called Amlou which includes, the toasted argan oil, almond paste, and
honey.  MMMM!
> Basically, for thousands of years Argan oil has been used for medicinal,
cosmetic and culinary purposes.  It was endangered, but now is a protected
tree indiginous to Morocco but now being grown successfully in a few other
places.  Its roots grow deep into the ground thus preventing
desertification.  And goats climb the tree to eat the nuts!!!  And you can
also go to the site of the man who introduced me to it and who sells it.  It
is pricey, but worth it!  I use it in all my products except the solid
perfume.  www.argan3.com
> And if anyone does order it from him, tell him Vicki sent you there.
> Tata for now!
