Hard Lotion
Print recipeIngredients
- kitchen scale
- double-boiler pot or glass bowl that fits just inside rim of small saucepan
- 4.5oz beeswax
- 4.5oz coconut oil
- 4oz shea butter
- small tins, containers, molds
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Combine all ingredients in a double boiler or glass bowl over a saucepan of boiling water. Do not allow the water to touch the bottom of the bowl. | |
| Step 2 | |
| The beeswax will likely take the longest to melt, but it will eventually happen. (You can also melt the beeswax in the microwave, though I personally don’t own one of them newfangled contraptions.) Stir occasionally. | |
| Step 3 | |
| Once ingredients are combined, pour into molds/tins/lip balm tubes and allow to harden at room temperature. | |
| Step 4 | |
| Let them cool for several hours before removing the lotion bars from the molds. | |
| Step 5 | |
| Wrap individually in plastic wrap or place in small bags. Store in a cool, dry, dark place. | |
