Lotion Bar Recipe #2 (Body Butter Stick)

1 tablespoon Beeswax Beads (measured as beads)
1 tablespoon Cocoa Butter (measured melted)
1 tablespoon Shea Butter (measured melted)
2 to 3 drops from a vitamin E capsule
10 drops of essential oil or perfume fragrance oil

Melt the first four ingredients together. Remove from heat. Add vitamin E and fragrance. Pour into your mold and allow to set up. If it won't remove from the mold easily, place it in the freezer for about 1/2 hour. Hold your hand over the back of the mold to remove the bar. Makes 1 1/2 oz.

Tips
 

• You can double and triple the size of this recipe and should be able to maintain good results.

• If you find your lotion bar is too hard, you can remelt it and add a bit more cocoa butter.

• If the bar is too soft, you can remelt it and add a few pieces of beeswax beads. Be careful not to use too much.

• Keep the bars wrapped between use so that it doesn't collect any dust, dirt or lint from sitting out.
