Coconut Oil’s sustaining properties make it a phenomenal skin moisturizer and homemade lotion bars make it much simpler to apply. Lotion bars are exceptionally saturating and unfathomably simple to make with just a couple of ingredients.

No fluid ingredients are utilized so no emulsifying or additives are required.

Uses for Lotion Bars:

I frequently give lotion bars as presents, since they can be effectively redone with essential oils or common aromas. They are totally nature and secure on infants and kids. The coconut oil and shea butter make a common SPF of around 5, which make them perfect for outdoor exercises.

My particularly favorite uses for lotion bars are:

• To soften and take care of dry skin
• To avoid stretch marks during pregnancy
• On delicate infant skin to help sooth diaper rash or dermatitis
• To sooth dry skin from rashes, dermatitis or psoriasis
• After shaving to avoid dry skin
• As a nighttime facial cream
• After doing dishes to saturate hands

Ingredients:

• 1/2 mug Coconut Oil
• 1/2 mug Shea Butter or Cocoa Butter
• 2/3 mug Beeswax Pastilles or ground beeswax
• Elective option 1: 1 teaspoon Vitamin E oil
• Elective option 2: Essential Oils for fragrance

The Most Effective Method to Make:

When I initially began making this formula I utilized a double boiler and blender before I understood that there was a much less demanding way that didn’t require exorbitant dishes. Here’s the simple form:

Consolidate ingredients in a quart size or bigger glass artisan container or reused glass jug. Fill a medium size pot with a few inches of water and place on a burner over medium high heat.  I suggest putting a cover on the container to keep water from getting in as this destroys the lotion bars.

Bring the water to a simmer and mix or shake the substance of the jug until it’s totally dissolved. This ought to take around ten minutes. Rapidly put into whatever molds you are utilizing. I profoundly propose silicon biscuit mugs or molds on the off chance that you have them in light of the fact that they are so simple to clean.

Traditional biscuit tins or even little glass jugs work, too. You can even utilize little jam size glass containers in the event that you need to keep the lotion bar in the container for travel or to give it as a present. This formula will make around 6 lotion bars if utilizing biscuit mugs or little jugs.

Leave in molds for no less than 4 hours or overnight (best) and precisely pop out of molds. I wrap in cellophane packs and tie with burlap and twine for presents.

Instructions to Use Lotion Bars:

Lotion bars are designed to be used on dry skin in place of lotion. Apply the same way that you would use cleanser as a part of the shower, yet on dry skin with no compelling reason to wash off. The high temperature of your skin will transport a slight layer of moisturizing lotion to the skin, which will absorb in 3-5 minutes.

Customize Them!

The extraordinary thing about lotion bars is that you can modify them to your own particular inclination. Here are a couple of thoughts or I’d want to hear yours!

Include 20-30 drops of your most loved essential oil for aroma. I like lavender or ylang.

Include 10 drops of peppermint essential oil and 1/2 tsp of powdered ginger for utilization on sore muscles in the wake of working out.

Include 1/2 mug natural arrowroot powder and a tablespoon of baking soda to make a common antiperspirant bar that puts most normal antiperspirants to disgrace. Forget the baking soda on the off chance that you have delicate skin. You can likewise include the powder of several capsules of shelf-stable probiotics for additional smell insurance.

Infuse the coconut oil before making with some normal kitchen herbs to make a bug-repellent bar that works extraordinary without chemicals.

Include a few tablespoons of Zinc Oxide Powder (non-nano) to make sunscreen bars. The powder will resolve a little which is typical. Be mindful so as not to breathe in the powder.
