This easy Homemade DIY Lotion Bar Recipe uses beeswax and lavender essential oi. Homemade DIY lotion bars are a great way to save money and pamper your skin with all-natural, nourishing ingredients. They are made with nourishing, moisturizing, all-natural ingredients and essential oil so there is nothing to harm or dry your skin. The best part is that this recipe doesn't require any fancy equipment! You just need some common household items.
Measure all ingredients, except for essential oils, in large glass jar.
Place jar in saucepan with one to one and a half inches of boiling water.
Stir ingredients until combined.
Once melted, remove from heat. Let rest for three minutes.
Add essential oils and stir.
Pour mixture into silicone soap molds, candy molds, or a shallow cooking sheet lined with parchment paper. Tip: For an exfoliating lotion bar, add oatmeal to the bottom of the mold.
Sprinkle the lavender buds or rose petals onto the the top of the mixture while it is still soft. You can swirl it in if you like.
Let mixture harden for two to three hours. Wrap in plastic wrap and store in container until ready to use.
Massage lotion bar on the skin using your body heat to soften it.

Notes
Use different molds for different fun shapes. I've even used a small rectangular baking tray that has high sides lined with wax paper and then broke it up into smaller pieces.
