Lotion Bar Recipe with Healing Coconut Oil

Step 1

Heat coconut oil, shea butter, and beeswax together in a saucepan over low heat. It helps if you break up the beeswax into small chunks because it takes a while for the wax to melt. You can also use beeswax pastilles, which will melt faster.

Step 2

Once the beeswax, coconut oil, and shea butter are melted, add essential oils. I like to use vanilla and lavender. I’m sensitive to strong fragrances so I only add 10-15 drops per 2 ounces of oil.

Step 3

Pour melted coconut oil and beeswax into lotion bar molds or muffin tins.

Step 4

Let them sit until cool. You can also place them in the refrigerator if you need to speed up the process.
