Beeswax-enriched lotion bar

Beeswax hydrates, soothes, repairs, and fortifies the skin.

For a Beeswax-enriched lotion bar, begin by combining the following ingredients in a 950 ml glass mason jar:

1 cup Carrier Oil,

1 cup body butter of personal preference (e.g. Cocoa Butter, Mango Butter, Shea Butter, or a combination of butters).

Next, place the mason jar in a small saucepan filled with 1 inch of water, then place the saucepan on the stove and bring the water to a boil. Constantly stir the contents of the jar with a stick until all the ingredients have melted. Once the mixture has turned into a smooth blend, remove the double boiler from the heat.

As it cools, gently but thoroughly stir in any essential oils of personal preference as well as 1 tsp. Vitamin E-Liquid.

Pour the blend into soap molds and allow it to harden before taking out each bar. Depending on the size of the mold, this recipe may yield approximately 12 lotion bars.

There are endless ways to adapt this lotion bar recipe. Here are just a few of the ways to customize:

Mix and match essential oils. For a fresh scent try Eucalyptus Essential oil or for an invigorating scent try Peppermint Essential Oil, Rosemary Organic Essential oil and Organic Lemon Essential Oil .
