Solid Lotion Bars
1 C coconut oil
1 C shea butter
½ C beeswax pellets
2 T. vitamin E oil
Melt oils and beeswax together in double boiler or in microwave using short bursts at half power. You may wish to start the beeswax first since it takes a little longer to melt.
Add 20-30 drops of your favorite essential oil or a combination of oils. Pour into silicone molds or use cupcake wrappers in cupcake pan. Set aside to cool and harden – usually overnight.
You may increase the ratio of beeswax for a firmer bar.
Unmold bars and store in a cool, dry place. Wrap in cellophane for gift giving.
To use, rub over skin and then massage into skin as you would normal lotion.
