Lotion Bars ( Perfect Gift )

1 part coconut oil 1 part shea butter, cocoa butter or mango butter (or a mix of all three equal to 1 part) 1 part beeswax (can add an extra ounce or twoOptional: Vitamin E oil to preserve. I added 1 tsp vitamin E oil for this recipe made with 1 cup of each ingredient)

This recipe can be adjusted to make any quantity that you’d like. I made with 1 part=1 cup so I used 1 cup of coconut oil, 1 cup beeswax and 1/3 cup each of shea butter, cocoa butter and mango butter. I also added about 50 drops of lavender essential oil. I set them in silicon baking cups. 12 bars

Combine all ingredients (except essential oils if using) in a double boiler, or a glass bowl over a smaller saucepan with 1 inch of water in it. Melt all ingredients, remove from heat and add essential oil. Pour into shape and allow to set.
