Servings: 8 bars
Equipment
- Microwaveable safe bowl or jug
- Kitchen Scales
- Cylinder mould
Ingredients
- 3 oz Cocoa Butter
- 1 oz Shea Butter
- 1/2 tsp Sweet Almond Oil
- 7 drops Lime Essential Oil, Steam Distilled
Instructions
- Chop up the cocoa butter, if needed, and add it and the shea butter to a microwaveable jug or bowl. Heat on high in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.
- Add the sweet almond oil and essential oil and stir well.
- Place the mould on a flat surface where the bars will be able to sit, undisturbed, for a few hours. Pour the mixture into the mould, filling each cavity until they are around ¾ full.
- Allow to set, undisturbed for about 6 hours.
- Remove from mould and store in an airtight container.
- When using the listed mould, you will get 8 lotion 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.
