Body Bars (lotion) Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Combine all ingredients (except vitamin e oil and essential oils if using) in a double boiler, or a glass bowl over a smaller saucepan with 1-2 inches of water in it.
  • Turn the burner on and bring water to a boil. Stir ingredients constantly until they are melted and smooth:
  • Remove from heat and add the vitamin e oil and essential oils.
  • Gently stir by hand until oils are incorporated.
  • Carefully pour into silicon baking cups molds or whatever you will be allowing the lotion bars to harden in.
  • Allow the lotion bars to cool completely before attempting to pop out of molds. These could be made in different shaped molds for different holiday gifts (hearts for valentines, flowers for Mother’s day, etc.) or made in a square baking pan and then cut into actual bars.

    Increase the amount of beeswax to make a bar more firm, or more coconut oil to make a softer bar. Greasy lotion bars have too much coconut oil and sticky bars have too much shea butter. Adapt accordingly.
