Citrus Lotion Bars

Fresh Citrus Scented Lotion Bars. Great for gift giving too!

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup beeswax pellets
  • 1/3 cup cocoa butter
  • 15-20 drops sweet orange essential oil
  • orange zest from one medium sized orange (optional)

Instructions

  1. If you are using orange zest, place it in the bottom of each mold. Be careful not to add too much, just a light sprinkle.

  2. In a double boiler melt together coconut oil, beeswax pellets, and cocoa butter. You can also melt it in the microwave using a microwave safe bowl, just be sure to check it every 30 seconds or so and stir until melted.

  3. Add in sweet orange essential oil to the melted butters and pour into your molds. Leave in the molds for approximately 24 hours or until solid.

  4. To use: Use just like you would lotion or body butter. Also works great on elbows, knees, and rough patches. Store away from moisture in a cool dark area. Will last 1-3 months with fresh orange zest or up to 2 years without.
