Today I'll show you two  easy and quick recipe for lotion bars.

Lotion bar is a great cosmetic for trips or for people who need a strong hydration and regeneration.

I usually uses it for hand, foot or dried skin.

Preparation:

In both recipes the preparation is almost identical, the only different thing is adding wax. 😉

I start with the preparation of a water bath.

I fill the pot with water and on it I put a bowl, to which I put butter (+ wax).

I set the stove to a low temperature so as not to bring the water to a boil.

When the butter dissolves I add oil and vitamin E.

I mix the ingredients and add essential oil.

Optional:

I put a teaspoon of flower petals in the molds and pour mixture so that it obscures the petals.

I wait until it cools down and pour the rest of the mixture.

In this way, flower petals won’t go to the top of the lotion. 😊

If you don’t use flower petals, you can pour the whole mass into a mold.

Now I put the lotions for 24 hours in the refrigerator and after that time they’re ready to use. You can use lotions about 6 months. It’s best to store them in a can/ container so that they don’t dust and dissolve.

Do you use lotion bar?
