Lavender Lotion Bar Recipe: How to Make Lotion Bars

Ingredients:

1/2 cup shea butter 

1 Cup cup coconut oil 

1 cup  beeswax

15-20 drops Lavender essential oil 

Molds-I used a simple paper water cup for my mold but you can also pick up pretty silicone molds to make your lotion bars in, here are a few that would be a great size for yours.

Flower Mold

Oval Mold

Directions:

In a small saucepan melt beeswax and coconut oil  until smooth and completely liquid.

Stir in shea butter until it has dissolved.

Remove from heat and add essential oils to scent, add oil starting with 10 drops and continue adding until the strength  of the fragrance smells good to you but not overpowering.

Pour ingredients into molds and allow to set overnight.

Remove from molds and store in a cool, dry place! If they are left in a hot car or very warm spot they will melt.
