Blogmas Day 7 - DIY Lotion Bars!
Blogmas Day 7! DIY Lotion Bars!
These little guys make amazing DIY Gifts and could not be simpler to make!
You can make them in any shaped moulds you like, or you can even make them into deodorant sticks so they can be taken on the go!
They look fabulous as part of a homemade hamper, and they really do moisturise your skin, saving you from dry patches during the winter months!
What you need
- Coconut Oil
- Shea Butter
- Beeswax pellets
- Fragrance Oil
- heat safe jug/bowl
- moulds/containers you wish to put them in
Step 1
Weigh out your Coconut Oil, Beeswax and Shea Butter. You need equal amounts of all 3, so I used 100g of each to make 3 gingerbread men shapes.
Add all of these to a bowl then slowly melt until they form together. You can use a double boiler for this or the microwave!
Step 2
Once everything is melted together, now is the time to add your fragrance oil. I would recommend around 5-10 drops depending on how big your batch is.
If you wanted to colour them now is the time to do it. I would only recommend using cosmetic mica powder to do this as i tried food colouring and it simply does not work.
Step 3
Pour your mixture into your moulds! Then once they are fully hardened pop them out and they are good to go!
It really is as simple as that, but they make such adorable little homemade gifts!
See you all tomorrow!!
Lots of love
