HOW TO MAKE LOTION BARS

1 part carrier oil
Carrier oil "carrries" all ingredients to your skin. Sweet Almond is very rich in moisturizer. Jojoba or Vitamin E oil can be used. Start with a small amount....2 Tablespoons. Each item is 1 part, so use 2 T per item...we are learning and having fun
1 part (2 T) beeswax.
It's easier to use beeswax pellets
1 part shea butter (2 T)
Shea butter comes in raw form, much like lard or thick peanut butter
Mely beeswaxand shea butter in a double boiler or microwave, checking every 20 seconds. stir. Add carrier oil and stir. If you'd like, add 4 or 5 drops of essential oil at this time.
I had 2 empty jars from face cream that I used for learning purposes. You can use a small muffin tin, or anything that will let the bar harden up.
Let sit overnight....put in a closed container to keep bar from drying out.
