I was looking around WSP the other day and they have their basic lotion at $10.95/gallon, it said it was the best selling hand and body lotion (I think). I have a friend that might be able to pick it up out there, as he goes to college in Findlay and I don't think it is too far off of I80 when he comes home. I would rather pay him a bit of money than pay the high shipping prices. My question is, can you add like Shea butter or other stuff without compromising the preservatives? I will have to check out their site again. I will have to see if I like it (if it is thick enough, etc) without adding anything to it first. I tried BCN's, but their's was too thin. TIA, Steph
