  • Silky lotion bars with rose essential oil that moisturize and nourish your skin.

    Easy diy rose lotion bars that are incredibly hydrating and suited for sensitive skin. Made with Shea butter and rose essential oil. Makes a gorgeous gift!

    I was a bit sceptical when it came to making lotion bars. I had a few store-bought ones in the past, mostly gifts I received, and I never really liked them. I either found the bars to be too soft or too waxy. So when creating my own lotion bar recipe I was extremely picky. I wanted a lotion bar that would leave my skin soft and hydrated but not too oily. I find that when the bar is too soft it gives off too much oil at once and you are left with an uncomfortable oily layer. To prevent that there is one magic ingredient a lotion bar needs and that is beeswax. However, using too much beeswax causes the lotion bar to become too hard and waxy. Finding that golden middle wasn’t easy but I’m happy to say that these lotion bars really hit the sweet spot, texture wise and fragrance wise.

    Let’s take a closer look at these lotion bars. They contain exactly 5 ingredients.

    • shea butter: moisturising, anti-inflammitory, SPF 4, contains vitamin E
    • coconut oil: hydrating, antibacterial, SPF 4
    • beeswax: holds in moisture, provides a protective barrier, contains vitamin A
    • vitamin e oil: fights free radicals, prevents oils from going rancid
    • rose otto oil: calming and relaxing, natural fragrance

    But these lotion bars don’t only sound promising, they work really well too! I have been struggling with dry skin on my arms and legs for the longest time. Sometimes my skin would get so dry that it would be flaky or even bleed a bit. I have found that these lotion bars (or this body butter) is the most effective at hydrating and restoring my incredibly dry skin. It doesn’t burn or feel uncomfortable even when your skin is cracked. It’s suited for even the most sensitive of skins. (If your skin is sensitive to essential oils leave them out.)
