    Scented vinegar for laundry

    Homemade lotion

    I am a little late in coming to this thread/forum, but I wanted to ask a question. For the Vit A & E that you add to the lotion, would this just be what you can buy from the drug store? Do they sell in liquid form, or are you breaking open capsules? Thanks for your time. Natasha
