Ingredients

  • 1 Small pan
  • 1 Chopstick, wooden spoon
  • 1 Pint-sized mason jar
  • ½ cup Beeswax
  • ⅓ cup Shea Butter
  • ½ cup Squalane oil
  • 10-20 drops Tea Tree Essential Oil

Instructions

  • Pour the beeswax, shea butter and squalane oil into mason jar
  • Fill the small pan with water so it comes 1/2 up the side of the mason jar when jar is placed inside of the pan (or a little more)
  • Turn pan on low heat and place mason jar inside
  • Stir occasionally until all pellets and shea butter have thoroughly melted
  • Make sure not to get water in the lotion mixture
  • When all is melted, carefully remove jar from pan and set aside for 2-3 minutes, depending on temperature of room. You want to let the mixture cool down slightly before adding tea tree essential oil. (SKIP THIS STEP IF NOT USING ESSENTIAL OIL)
  • Add 10-20 drops of tea tree essential oil to the mixture and stir with chopstick or skewer
  • Carefully pour hot liquid into molds. Make sure you set the molds somewhere they will not be moved.
  • Wait until the lotion bars are completely solid before removing. This will depend on the size and thickness of the bars and the temperature of the room
  • Remove the bars and wrap each bar in parchment paper for storage and easy removal
  • Apply with dry hands and on dry skin
