Lotion bars

Mom and Aunt Lynda came to visit and we made lotion bars.  I don't know about them, but I love mine!! I have one next to my bed and I have been rubbing it on my feet before I go to sleep.  I have another one in my bathroom and it is such a treat after rinsing out dirty diapers! Here is how we made them:

coconut oil
bees wax
any liquid oil
essential oils

Take equal parts (or best guess) of coconut oil and bees wax and put them into a small sauce pan.  Put the stove on low and melt them together.  I added a splash of what ever oil I had in my kitchen (I think it was veggie or safflower oil).  Once they are all melted put in a few drops essential oil. Pour the liquid into any type of mold.  I used my cupcake pan. Let them harden and enjoy! We made lavender bars and they are a great little treat!

You can also order chapstick tubes and pour the liquid into the containers to make chapstick.
