Even if I did want to use it though, I have no idea where to find it!!! Regardless, I really do prefer my homemade concoction of EITHER water and essential oils, or, essential oils in a carrier oil like jojoba, olive, avacado or another favorite. It makes it easier, and best of all I can be sure that it is non-toxic so I know I'm not rubbing chemicals with unknown consequences onto my kid's skin (and into their systems). Plus, it actually really works!! Have a great day and thanks again for stopping by! K Hi Carly, Thanks for your question : )
