I don't like petroleum on my skin, either. Remember, anything you put on your skin, gets absorbed into your body. Crisco is also hydrogenated, which does damage to cell structure. Stick to vegetable oils that don't rot easily.

Thanks so much for this recipe. I have heard that Crisco is excellent for skin. I can't wait to try it.

I don't like the idea of using a petroleum product on my skin. I'll stick with plant based oils such as coconut oil, which is a great hand lotion.
