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