TheQueen Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 OMG, they are great. Made the first batch and didn't like it because it was too stiff. Made the second batch and didn't like it because it was too gooey. Melted them both, threw them together and they are great! Does anyone want the recipe?

Darbla Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Yes, please! Lotion bars are one item I haven't tried making yet, so I could start with your fine recipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jurnalynn Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 i would like the recipe mine didn't turn out the bestLaura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQueen Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 Ok, Girls, here it is. This is an item that is almost too easy to make. I used ounces but you could use any measure you prefer:*cocoa butter 2 oz*mango butter 1.5 oz*olive oil 1.2 oz*soy wax 1.5 oz*beeswax 2 oz (I would recommend the white beeswax if you don't want yellowish bars although there's nothing wrong with them)*fragrance to preference (as you know, some FOs are a bit stronger than others) I used OMH because it's one of my faves but I'll be doing London Lemon Curd next. Melt the hard butters/waxes and then mix in the olive oil. Pour into whatever mold you like that will fit your presentation container (tins, etc.)--I used silicone muffin inserts in a regular muffin tin. It takes just a little bit for them to set up and they will pop right out.ENJOY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye_SC Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Can thbe poured into Lotion Pushup Tubes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQueen Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 Can thbe poured into Lotion Pushup Tubes?I think it probably can after it has cooled just a tad. I wouldn't want to pour it too hot because it might seep. But they do set up pretty hard. I've got some of those tubes I should try. Thanks for the suggestion. :highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kool12 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I haven't used soy wax before. I wonder how it changes the texture of your lotion bar. The few times I've tried them I've used besswax. I don't care for them but my best friend loves them so I make them for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQueen Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 The beeswax is what made the first batch too stiff. With less beeswax and soy wax added they were too gooey. But when both were thrown in together at the amounts listed, it was just right. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
