Good Things Utah

Supplies
¼ cup almond oil or olive oil
¼ cup coconut oil
¼ cup Shea butter or Coco butter
¼ cup beeswax (I like to use just a few flakes more)
Any of your essential oils I used about 15 drops of the Tangerine.
Plastic tins, ice cube trays or plastic bottles
Instructions
1-In a double broiler add all your ingredients( except the essential oil) in the bowl and on medium heat let all the yummy ingredients melt , this will take about 15 minutes. Stirring the whole time.
2-It will be clear and a yellow color and very HOT so be so care full.
3-Take off the stove and pour into your ice cube trays or any plastic container you might have.
4- I like to put mine in the fridge for just a few minutes; it sets up really fast just a few minutes.
TIPS
I like to use the smallest ice cube trays because they make the cutest gifts and with this lotion you don’t need a lot to make your skin soft and smelling yummy.
If you want a harder lotion bar just add a little bit more Beeswax.
This recipe made 54 little bars.
The lotion melts by the heat of your hand and this little bar will last a long time, perfect for your purse. I have made several batches over the years and this is my FAV.
ENJOY!!
