#31 drops of oil – October 23

My friend, Dawn, makes these wonderful lotion bars and has been kind enough to give me a couple of them!  They are wonderful.  So neat that you can use whatever essential oils you want to make your own customized bars.
​
Tip # 23 – Save money and customize with your favorite scents of essential oils by making Lotion Bars. And they make wonderful gifts!

Lotion Bars
Ingredients
  • Beeswax
  • Shea butter or cocoa butter
  • Coconut oil
  • 2 Tbsp. Jojoba oil
  • 2 tsp Vitamin E
  • Essential oils  (Peppermint + Wild Orange, Lavender, Serenity, any of our new Aromatherapy blends, Ylang Ylang, etc.  Men might like Sandalwood, Cedarwood, or Balance).
 
A silicone mold is helpful, but not a requirement.  You can use a muffin tin and paper muffin liner/cups as“molds”.   You can use a double boiler, but if you don’t have a double boiler, you can take a Pyrex glass measuring cup with the handle on the outside of the pot and set it inside of a sauce pan of simmering water (about 2 - 3 inches of water). 
 
Directions:
  • Start by melting the beeswax first in a double boiler. 
  • After it is almost melted, add the shea or cocoa butter and coconut oil – they will melt quickly.
  • Once just melted, add the jojoba oil and liquid vitamin E. 
  • Finally add your essential oils – somewhere around 20+ drops. Try adding about 15 drops, then do a sniff test and then add oils as needed. 
  • Note: If you are using cocoa butter, peppermint and/or orange is a great compliment.
  • Pour in to molds and let them sit.  I usually make this in the evening and let them sit overnight.
