Instructions

How to Make Lotion Bars

  • Melt the beeswax, shea butter, and coconut oil in a double boiler over low heat. Stir gently until everything melts together, forming a smooth and creamy mixture, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Combine the ingredients thoroughly by stirring them until fully blended to ensure a uniform consistency.
  • Add any essential oils of your choice at this stage if desired.
  • Pour the melted mixture into your chosen molds, filling each mold to the brim.
  • Cool the poured lotion bars at room temperature until solid, approximately 1-2 hours, or in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
  • Remove the bars from the molds gently once they are solid.

Notes

Optional: Add dried herbs or petals to the mold for a decorative touch.
