A friend gave me a lotion bar for Christmas... and I loved it! It looks like a bar of soap (no wonder I like it!) but you rub it on your skin as lotion. Brilliant!
I decided to try a recipe I found on Pinterest. These couldn't have been easier! All you do is mix equal parts beeswax, coconut oil, and cocoa or shea butter. I used cocoa butter because I don't love the smell of raw shea butter. You just melt everything together on low heat, and pour into the moulds of your choice. I used these silicon muffin moulds and the bars easily popped right out. You can also add essential oil if you like. I added some tangerine and they smell lovely. With such great ingredients, these will surely combat dry winter skin.
What a sweet Valentine's day gift these would be!

Where do you buy your ingredients? These seem a cinch to make and dreamy with such simple/clean ingredients. :-)
I think I got the cocoa butter on amazon and the beeswax from Mountain rose. I will bring you some to try when I come :-)
