A lotion bar is like a bar of a soap that is solid at room temperature but when rubbed onto your skin, a small amount will melt and provide a moisturising boost to your skin.
Lotion bars make fun and easy presents that are sure to produce a grateful smile. They can be packaged in a tin, glass jar or a wind up deodorant stick, with labels, bows or stickers. Gift them for baby shower gifts, birthdays, Christmas, Kids Party Favours, Father's Day, Teacher gifts or mum's to be. The list is endless. You can obviously make them as a gift for yourself too!
This base recipe can be adapted in a number of ways to produce a range of bars for many needs. Some options are:
There are many many more options!
What you need:
1 cup coconut oil
1 cup shea butter (or cocoa butter)
1 cup beeswax
1 teaspoon vitamin E (optional)
essential oils (optional)

What you do:
Combine all ingredients, except essential oils and vitamin E in a glass jug.
Place the jug in a small saucepan of water and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the ingredients are melted.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Stir in any essential oils and/or vitamin E.
Carefully pour the mixture into moulds or containers you will be using
Allow the lotion bars to cool completely before attempting to pop out of moulds.
You can adjust this recipe to make any quantity that you'd like by simply using equal parts of the main ingredients.
These bars can be made in different shaped moulds for many gift themes (hearts for Valentine's Day, lego for kids, flowers for mother’s day etc) or make them in a square baking tin and then cut into bars.
We have moisturising bars in a jar at the shop so that we can give our hands a nice boost on those days it's needed. Give them a try - you may be pleasantly surprised with how easy they are to make and how lovely they are to use!
