Default Best *Natural* moisturizers

I've been using some Shea butter that I mixed with a few oils..
I added a little too much of something', 'cause I didn't get the consistency I wanted, but oh well.

I was thinking of buying a moisturizer, because sometimes my face feels "smothered", but I think I'll stick with Shea butter.

What are some of y'alls favorite natural moisturizers? (homemade, store bought, online, etc)

Grapeseed oil is a good one and is a part of my skin care regimen

I've been thinking about trying grapeseed oil because nothing else works and I think that's the only thing I haven't tried

my tresses are in love w/coconut oil, water, shea moisture curl & style milk, taliah waajid bodifier mist & DevaOne leave-in conditioner...using these items interchangeably works wonders

Try some sweet almond oil. It's very light and doesn't leave that smothered, greasy feeling.

I use Yes to Tomatoes it's ok but my skin still gets dry. I'm gonna try the grapeseed oil since I have some in the kitchen.

I began using Argan Oil a month or so ago. Hands down the best moisturizer I've ever used!
