  COuld you make your own with some fragrance oils added to a fragrance free shower gel or sugar as a scrub?

  You actually could quite easily, Essential oils and base showergel and for what you normally pay you'll be able to make a lot of it so it would work out a lot cheaper

  Thanks for that.
  
  I've never done it myself, is any plainish shower gel suitable, or can you get a special base gel? Any recommendations for this?

  When I went to my local store to get another tube, the store has been revamped and doesn't seem to have the same ranges
  
  I've had a quick search online, but only a couple of possibilities have shown up, one comparatively expensive (the m&s was only a few quid), the other from America.
  
  Can anyone recommend a similar product?

  
  Could you ask in your local M&S if another branch stocks this nearby perhaps?

  Yeah, any simple base will do, http://www.naturallythinking.com/categories/Aromatherapy/Cosmetic-Bases/ Basically anything that is a base can have essential oils added to it so you can create your own blends so if you like the smell that much you could add it to a body butter/moisture cream etc Make sure you read each oil and see how many drops are suitable for however much you are making. (that site is really great for giving you infomation and it all come on the oils so like 10-30 drops per 100mls etc.)
