Lavender Body Bars PDF Print E-mail
Lavender Body Bars are great to use during the winter months when skin can use a bit of added moisture retention and protection. This recipe yields about six 1/4 ounce bars.

Ingredients:


1 ounce shea butter
1/2 ounce avocado oil
1/2 ounce jojoba oil
.07 ounce beeswax
10 drops lavender essential oil

Blending Procedure:

  1. Clear enough space in your freezer to hold the mold you are using. Measure all ingredients except essential oil in the heat proof cup and a hot water bath to completely melt the beeswax into the oils.

  2. Remove the cup using a pot holder to prevent burning your hands. Stir the mixture with a pop sickle stick to make sure all of the wax is melted. The melted mixture will be very hot!

  3. Before adding the essential oil, allow the mixture to cool for about 5 minutes, and then add the essential oil. Stir to incorporate.

  4. Carefully pour the still hot mixture into small molds (I use 1/4 ounce heart shaped molds with roses in relief) and place immediately in the freezer to harden. After about 15 minutes, pop them out of the mold and wrap in wax paper or a small plastic baggie between uses. You can use one immediately by warming it between your palms to transfer the moisturizer to your palms, then apply to dry skin rubbing gently yet firmly. You can also cup the bar in your palm and apply directly to skin. The warmth from your body will slowly melt the bars to moisturize your skin. Yum!!
