Coconut Oil Lotion Bars
One of the best things about making your own lotion bars besides knowing exactly what is in them, is they last a longer than traditional bottles of lotion, they are mess free even when the kids are using them, and they really work.
Coconut oil has long been used for skin care. It is naturally antibacterial and antifungal, and it is an excellent moisturizer. Adding it to your lotion bars gives you all these benefits!

I can not wait to try this,,ive been wanting to make some for a while now and this is certainly easy enough
Let us know how you like them Vickie!
I’m very excited to try this! What kind of Shea butter did you use? Or would recommend? 😁
Thank you!
Hi Tina, this is the Shea butter I use: https://amzn.to/2V8huLQ Have fun making them!!
These are really pretty. The beeswax pellets must keep them from melting. I’d like to try this, I’ve experimented with DIY lotions, etc., this would be perfect for home and for gifts!
I have a very large block of beeswax – could I just grate that for the 1/2 cup rather than buying pellets?
Sure! That would work just fine
I have all the ingredients I made for my son teachers. Thank
Awesome! I bet they’ll love them.
I LOVE these, thanks for sharing them in our Linky Party, I have chosen them as my pick from the projects last week and they will be featured in tomorrows Linky Party!
Yay! Thank you so much!!
These look wonderful! I love that they don’t contain palm oil. I’ve been looking for bar soap without palm oil – not easy to find. Do you happen to know if there is an ingredient I could add to these bars if I make them that would make them act as a soap as well?
Hmm I think that would change the consistency so I’m not sure. Let us know if you experiment and find something that works!
