Valentine's Day Lotion Bar Hearts

I received an order for some Valentine's Day lotion bars.  I melted together equal parts cocoa butter, coconut oil, and beeswax.  Once melted, I added essential oil and poured into a heart shaped mold (2.5 inches.)  Let the mixture cool completely then remove from the mold.  

When they were all done, I wrapped the hearts and tied them with a ribbon.  A quick and easy gift for Valentine's Day!

Just in time for Halloween

I whipped up a few batches of Spicy Lotion Bars.  These smell like fall and were molded in spoooooooooky Halloween shapes.

Here you are surely terrified by the bones and fingers I have lying around the test kitchen.  

The spicy pumpkins turned out more like beach balls, but they smell terrific!

I do like the details on the little skulls!

These were made with shea butter, olive oil, beeswax, cinnamon, and tangerine.  Yummy!  Definitely a treat I would like to receive!

Have a Happy Halloween!

Perfect for your Sweetheart

Tomorrow is Sweetest Day and although I personally have never celebrated it and do not really know many people that do, I thought I would make some sweets for my... well, family.  

This was an experimental recipe crossover that I think turned out to be a sweet success!  I mixed my body lotion bars with my so delicious-smelling and popular body butter and created these chocolate scented body lotion bars.  The chocolate scent from the cocoa butter is accented with a hint of orange.  Make some for your sweetie!

Happy Sweetest Day!

Lotion Bars

Oh.  My.  Gosh.  I LOVE these little lotion bars.  These are my new favorite thing.  Seriously.  Wow.

I combined beeswax, coconut oil, vitamin e oil, flaxseed oil, and sweet almond oil.  I also added some essential oil for scent, but you could make these unscented if you prefer.  While these little babies are my sample versions, I would make bigger bars for gifts or personal use.  I love how the molded versions came out.  They popped right out of my mold form, too.  

To use, you rub the bar across the skin you want moisturized.  The heat of your body helps absorb the lotion and these turned out so much better than I could have even hoped for.  

I would be sure to keep these in a cool place if you want the bar to keep it's shape for as long as possible.  I am not sure how good these would be to mail in the summer months, but maybe once the weather gets cooler...

This is one you definitely want to try.  Do it.  I think this is going to be your new favorite lotion.
