    It depends entirely upon the sensorials that you want to achieve. I think most of the chemists here will agree with me when I say we take a ground-up approach. For instance I could recommend a very light ester such as Schercemol 185 and you would have a quite light lipid blend that would absorb quickly. Or you could substitute for instance, organic coconut oil, and get a much more occlusive product with different sensorials entirely.
