What is the shelf of these bars. Love the feel and texture.

I was given this kit as a Christmas gift. I made it using the initial instructions for amount of ingredients. How I wish I had cut it in half. It made far more than I expected. I used all 10 push up containers plus 5 other containers that I scrambled to find before solution set up. I found the final result of the bar to be too oily. Is there a way to make the final product less oily? I also found that I really did not care for the “energy” scent that came with it. Would it be possible to re- Melt the solidified lotion bar, add anything(?) to make it less greasy and is there a scent that might mellow out the strong smell of the energy scent. Just curious. Other than that it was very fun to make and I would have enough leftover that I can make a smaller batch. I will definitely try a different scent though.

This was a grear kit. The only complaint is the recipy included makes more then the tubes hold. THis was fine for me because I just grabbed an extra heart shapped mold and made actual lotion bars. I would suggest doing a half batch for the tubes. The kit also comes with enough stuff to make a second batch, which im planning on using the deorderant tubes for. I work with a lot of pregnant women and would like to make a bigger lotion bar for them to use to help with strech marks.
