Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh Lotion Bars Recipe
These woodsy smelling lotion bars are great for moisturizing and soothing skin.
Servings: 3 lotion bars
Equipment
- Double boiler
- Silicone lotion bar mold
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup coconut oil
- ⅓ cup shea butter
- ⅓ cup beeswax pellets
- 1 tsp gold mica powder
- 15 drops frankincense essential oil
- 15 drops myrrh essential oil
- 10 drops peppermint essential oil optional
- 10 drops lavender essential oil optional
Instructions
- Melt the shea butter, beeswax, and coconut oil in a double boiler.
- Remove the oils from the heat and then add the mica powder and essential oils.
- Pour the mixture into empty deodorant containers, lotion bar tubes, or silicone molds. Put them in the fridge and let cool until completely hardened.
- If using a mold, put the lotion bars in the freezer for about 10 minutes. This makes them much easier to pop out. Don't leave them in the freezer too long though or it will negatively affect the texture.
Notes
