After
an exhaustive search to locate skin care for a son born with multiple skin
conditions and sensitivities, Shoreline mom Lynnel Jones took the "if I can't
find it, I'll make it," approach. Her
first product, Bien Ella Eczema Butter ($33 for four ounces), which contains no
mineral oil, petroleum, wax, glycerin or what she describes as "impossible to
