No problem, it gives me an idea of quantities. This is the way I cook, so approximations are ok. I have been using only Sesame oil for years. I use it as a cleanser, as a lubricant, as a skin softener, as a bath oil, as a hair conditioning oil, etc.
Well, I haven't actually measured it out per se, I usually just eyeball it and use the sniff test. Generally, I take an empty lotion bottle, fill it with a mix of scented lotion and coco butter (about 3/4 of the bottle, give or take), then the desired amount of oil and shake well.
When I first started doing this, I would do a little at a time and shake it up as I filled the bottle. Some batches came out too oily, some not enough. I've also experimented with peanut an baby oil. The baby oil was too thin and the peanut oil would get a weird smell after a while.
It's not an exact science but I'm happy with the end results so I guess that's all that really matters. Sorry I wasn't more helpful.
I used to use Eucerin then decided it was too expensive for me. Now I make my own concoction of olive oil, cocoa butter and whatever scented lotion is on sale. It smells good, I control the oil content and I can make it as thick or as thin as needed.

Interesting. Would you be willing share some basic proportions. I've never used cocoa butter except as a sun lotion.
