scentlady Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I think it's sweet almond oil. Welcome to the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shell1226 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I tried this recipe yesterday. I didn't have any kokum butter, so I subbeed cocoa butter. Not greasy at all. Rather nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawaiiansun Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I found this recipe on the board then just subbed with the kokum cause shea by itself was too greasy for me. You can sub with any other butter cocoa or mango is good too. I can't remember who posted the original recipe, but thanks lotin bars have become my favorite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shell1226 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I think they are going to become one of my faves also.I'm am just starting to add B&B to my line. So far I have a Shea Butter and a Body Lotion. I think a lotion bar would fit in nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhardy1234 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Will have to try that one!! Looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_amber_woods Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I tried this recipe out!! Loved the non scented version, but the scented version I made was oily. Not sure if it was the FO I used or if maybe I just needed to sub out a bit of the SAO for the amount of FO I used, which wasn't alot at all... Gonna play..

elle110 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I have never had to sub out the oil for the FO and I have been making it for about 4 yrs. How much FO did you use? It is warm where you are right now? In the warmer mos. I think it is a lot oiler due to the bar warming so much faster at body contact.

I am glad you are enjoying the lotion bars, they are huge sellers for us. Yes, it a very flexible recipe, you can sub different butters to suit your taste.You can also use some different oils as long as they can weigh out to the original 1 oz. You can use 1/2 oz SAP and 1/2 oz SFO etc.Enjoy you new skin, I still am amazed at how they can perk up the driest of handsElle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scentlady Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I have seen soy lotion bars for sale and wondered if this recipe could be altered to make it a soy lotion bar? Would it be more greasy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherl Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 What do you put this in? Will this come out of a mold? Have looked on the net and these lotion bars are in tins, push up containers and some look molded. I'm a bit new to all this so hope someone could give me a clue... want to try these out.

hawaiiansun Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I put mine in twist tubes like these http://www.thesage.com/catalog/UniqueItems.html scroll down to lip balm tubes almost to the bottom of page There are many different ways to package them, twist tubes, push ups, deodorant containers, tins it's all preference. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatherandLight Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 ok i feel stupid asking this but , do you heat the ingredients together then pour into molds?never done this before, looks easy and just might try making it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
