Massage Bar Recipie

What You'll Need:

85g Beeswax
15g Soy Wax
55g Cocoa Butter
55g Shea Butter
68g Jojoba Oil
28g Sweet Almond Oil
20-50 drops Fragrance or Essential Oil

Instructions
  1. Melt the beeswax in a pyrex jug in the Microwave (or a double boiler)

  2. Add the other base ingredients and return to your heat source and heat until totally liquid

  3. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes stirring occasionally

  4. Add Fragrance/Essential Oils
  5. Pour into prepared mould
Once the lotion bar has hardened, if it doesn't pop out really easily, place it in the refrigerator to cool it, and it will then pop out nicely. As this is quite a large mould, it takes several hours to cool completely.
If you don't have soy wax on hand we suggest substituting extra Cocoa Butter or Shea Butter - the Shea has a lower melt point, but the Cocoa Butter makes a harder bar.
