I promise this is the last of my "home remedies" posts for a while. Promise!
BUT, these are awesome people. Gotta post them!
This is a lotion bar.
Solid lotion.
It works kind of awesome. ::)
You hold the bar in your hand, and the heat from your skin makes it soft enough to spread on your skin. So much for taking way too much lotion (wait - am I the only one who does that??!) and needing to smear it all over in places that don't necessarily need it.
I can just use this on the places I want it right then. I find it works especially good on my feet!
So, wanna make your own?
My oldest son and I experimented with a few different recipes, and this is our favorite:
Solid Lotion Bars
1 part Coconut Oil
1 part Shea or Cocoa Butter
1 part Beeswax
Melt the solid oils/butters together in a double boiler (or glass jar in some boiling water) and add:
2 Tbsp Infused Oil
60 drops of Essential Oil
Vitamin E
Mix well and pour into molds. I just used some silicone muffin tins. Let stand until hard (like about 8 hours) and pop out. Use on all your dry skin.
Cheers

Loving your home made recipes! Don't apologize for sharing please! I for one appreciate that you do!
I so need to make these!
I have never made any but I bought some from a friend how makes all natural soaps and lotions and I loved it! Is there a certain brand of essential oils that you use?
What's the difference between an infused oil and an essential oil? I've made lotion bars but never added oils to them before...what a good idea!
THIS IS AWESOME! I LOVE home made stuff that is GOOD for you! :) THANK YOU, so much for sharing your recipes!!!!
