Ingredients
– 1 cup beeswax pellets
– 1 cup shea butter
– 1 cup coconut oil
Instructions
Follow these straightforward steps to create your own DIY lotion bars:
1. Prepare Your Workspace: Clear and clean your workspace. Gather all your ingredients and tools, including a double boiler, mixing spoon, and molds.
2. Melt the Beeswax: In a double boiler, add the beeswax pellets. Heat over medium-low until melted, stirring occasionally.
3. Add Shea Butter and Coconut Oil: Once the beeswax is melted, add the shea butter and coconut oil. Stir continuously until everything is completely melted and blended.
4. Remove from Heat: Once fully melted, remove the mixture from heat. Allow it to cool slightly for a minute or two before adding any essential oils if desired.
5. Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the melted mixture into your molds. You can use silicone molds for easy removal later.
6. Cool Completely: Leave the molds at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator to speed up the cooling process. Allow them to cool for 30-60 minutes until solid.
7. Remove from Molds: Once solid, gently remove the lotion bars from the molds. Store them in a cool, dry place.
By following these steps, you will have beautiful, homemade lotion bars ready for use!
