I like all 3 of these, plus jojoba. Just curious what others like :mrgreen:

I use coconut oil. If jojoba wasn't so expensive, I would use it more.

I chose Apricot Kernel Oil because even people with nut allergies (which are fairly common these days) can use bath products made with it, versus Sweet Almond Oil. I have only used Apricot Kernel Oil in lotion melts, but I would love to try Sweet Almond and Avocado Oils!

I love apricot kernel oil in everything from soaps to lotions.

I make balms rather than lotions, but I like avocado and rice bran oil. Both have lots of vitamins. I want to get some argan oil to experiment with. I hear such great things about it.

Fractionated Coconut Oil, with Rice Bran a close second.

I like all three that you listed but tend more towards the sweet almond, and sometimes grapeseed or jojoba. I tried an emu oil sampler in a store last week, it absorbed nicely, so I'm really considering giving it a try but don't know how well it'll go over with others.
