Oh cripes, anaengel, I didn't even think about puberty. That's going on around here so I'll be sure to keep it in mind.

After calculating how much oil I would need I realized 2 oz bottles would last me quite a while. I decided to get both types of oil and I will have the little one try them and see how they are on, ahem, IMMATURE skin. lol. I will let you know!

 

Dilution: honestly, I was considering both because supposedly both are long-lasting and won't interfere with scent, but the coconut came across my path at a good price/quantity first. Wish I could say there was thoughtful deliberation! I chose roller bottles because I wanted the kids to be as independent as possible, minimizing spillage. They also each get to dip into lotion I've scented sometimes.

 

Ha! Well that is a good answer. I'll poke around a bit and see if there's any reason one would be better than the other for my girl. I'm definitely doing the diluted roller bottles for her, one way or another!!

Xeia, thanks for pointing this thread out to me!

My daughter has no favorites *yet* but she's very interested. She chose Boo hair gloss and is super-excited to get it. (she's 10) These are all great ideas in this thread! I *think* that she will lean towards foody and sugary, but I can never tell with her.

I'm curious how many kids are affected as much by the concept as the scent -- she is actually super-interested in the Lovecraft line although I can't quite see her liking the smells! I think she will want to try the whole Alice line -- she identifies very strongly with Alice. Still waiting to see if she'll want to use anything as a scent, or stick with HG and maybe a lotion. What other ways do any of you use bpal for kids?

Xeia -- when you make your kids' roller bottles up; you said you do about 3 ml oil plus 1 ml scent (like, an imp's worth)? And you use fractionated coconut oil? I see a lot of people using jojoba oil, why did you go with the coconut? I have zero clue on this, but I'm definitely wanting to try it!
