Are you looking for another use from a product you may already have at home? Look no further than olive oil.
You may already know about it for cooking but what about other uses? I use some to soften my hands or and have made some lip balm with olive oil as an extra emollient. If you have a cut, rub some on the wound as it is healing to keep it soft and speed healing. Besides these there are many more ways of using of olive oil.
When using olive oil for household purposes you could use the less expensive olive oil, but depending on the amount you use, extra virgin could also be used.
Here are some sites which list dozens of tips for using olive oil for cooking and more.

If you want to use olive oil as a moisturizer on your body but would like to have a fragrance - pour some olive oil into a smaller bottle, add some essential or fragrance oil and shake. Let the oils mingle for a day or so and you will definitely be pleased with the result.
