Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 oz beeswax
- 2 oz shea butter
- 2 oz sweet almond oil
- 15 drops lemongrass essential oil
- 1/4 tsp fruit green mica powder, optional
Instructions
- Add the beeswax and shea butter to a microwave safe measuring jug or bowl. Something with a spout for pouring is best, and will help make the process less messy.
- Gently heat for 30 second intervals, removing from the microwave and stirring between each heating session. Continue to do this until the beeswax is fully melted. It will take a few minutes.
- Add sweet almond oil, then heat for an additional 30 seconds.
- Carefully add the mica powder, if using, and the essential oil, and stir well.
- Carefully pour the mixture into the moulds, and refrigerate for 1 hour to set.
- Remove from moulds and store in an airtight container.When using the mould listed, this recipe makes 18 bars.
- To Use - When ready to use, rub a lotion bar onto your hands to warm it up slightly and it will start to melt. Rub into your skin making sure the lotion is distributed all over.
- Storing - Store in an airtight container, out of direct sunlight, in a cool room for up to one year. These lotion bars will stay solid, though they may start to melt in hot temperatures. If you are in a warmer climate, you may need to keep the bars in the fridge.
