    DIY Lotion Bars

    [published_or_updated] · by Angela Paris · 5 Comments[affiliate_disclosure]

    My DIY lotion bars are easy to make and make perfect gifts!
    Jump to Recipe Add to Favorites Go to Collections

    These lotion bars are an easy and inexpensive gift you can make for friends and family - perfect for the holidays, housewarming, birthdays or just because!

    Lotion bars piled on top of one another.

    I so enjoy making my own holiday gifts.  It's so much more meaningful to me as the "giver" to spend time hand crafting something especially for someone else.

    Materials

    • 2 Ounces Beeswax
    • 2 Ounces Shea Butter Cream
    • 2 Ounces Coconut Oil
    • 1 tbsp Vitamin E Oil
    • Wax paper, Silicone Mold

    Instructions

    1. In a microwave safe bowl (or double boiler) melt beeswax.
    2. Once beeswax is melted, add in shea butter, coconut oil and vitamin E oil.
    3. Continue to heat on low until all butters and oils are melted.
    4. Pour the mixture into the silicon mold (I used this cute flower one (left). Let the mixture sit in the mold for 1-2 hours, until it is completely opaque.
    5. Carefully remove from molds.  Wrap the bars in wax paper and tie with a pretty string or ribbon if you like.
