My favorite combination of oils and butter...Hi Liz,<br />My favorite combination of oils and butters that is not greasy is<br />2 oz beeswax<br />2 oz coconut oil<br />1 oz shea butter OR cocoa butter<br />1 oz grapeseed oil<br /><br />To this amount of oils I add 3/4 tsp of fragrance oil. But this is how I like it to smell!<br />You will need to experiment to see how you like it scented. <br /><br />After all your oils/butters/beeswax are melted together, add a small amount of fragrance oil, stir well. <br />Put a drop of the oil on the back of your hand and rub it in and smell it. Keep a record of how much you use, and when you get it the strength you like.<br /><br />For essential oils, the recommended amount of use is 6 drops per 1 oz of oil, this is a 1% dilution. So, for my 6oz recipe above, you could use up to 36 drops of essential oils. You<br />actually can combine fragrance oils and essential oils if you wanted to. Just keeping in mind the dilution rate. For example, I will add a little peppermint essential oil with some of my fragrance oils to brighten them up.<br /><br />Hope this helps Liz!<br />AnnaAnna from Natures Home Spahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04681990948195883824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002116478874966096.post-41501052378497169372016-10-31T19:34:03.104-07:002016-10-31T19:34:03.104-07:00hi - i am still new to all this - my question is -...hi - i am still new to all this - my question is - how much fragrance oil and how much essential oils would i put in these bars - i wouldnt combine them but just wondering how much is too much of which ever perfume i would use<br />thanks heaps<br />lizlizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12072871936444084301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002116478874966096.post-67539458469884954492015-08-11T07:48:40.229-07:002015-08-11T07:48:40.229-07:00Hi Karen, I get my 2 oz tubs at our local Dollar S...Hi Karen, I get my 2 oz tubs at our local Dollar Store. You get 10 in a package, in rectangle or round forms. They are superb for the lotion bars. And are BPA free.

It pulls the other ingredients under the skin<br />with it to get the moisture where it needs to be. It absorbs <br />quickly as opposed to olive oil that will sit longer on the surface<br />of the skin.<br /><br />By a heavy bar I mean a lotion bar that has heavy oils that tend<br />to be greasier, like<br />the olive oil. Oils and/or butters that stay on the skin's surface<br />longer, absorption rate longer, etc.<br /><br />My favorite combination of oils and butters that is not greasy is<br />2 oz beeswax<br />2 oz coconut oil<br />1 oz shea butter<br />1 oz grapeseed oil<br /><br />Hope this helps Suzy!<br />AnnaAnna from Natures Home Spahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04681990948195883824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002116478874966096.post-77449544486083116822015-07-24T06:51:53.951-07:002015-07-24T06:51:53.951-07:00I want to make lotion bars, but really don't w...I want to make lotion bars, but really don't want one that leaves my skin feeling greasy/oily. Any suggestions? You said there were some bars that were heavy... does heavy mean solid? Are there oils that skin really likes?

Solid lotion bars feature all oils and butters, with and without essential oils added, no liquids like water, milk, tea etc. But I wonder if anyone has tried them with powdered goats milk, etc.... hmmmmAnna from Natures Home Spahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04681990948195883824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002116478874966096.post-53242709309528552392013-12-18T18:19:41.107-07:002013-12-18T18:19:41.107-07:00Do you know of any recipe for a solid lotion bar u...Do you know of any recipe for a solid lotion bar using goats milk?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15336651732467295294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002116478874966096.post-23431668159785615222013-03-06T05:10:57.284-07:002013-03-06T05:10:57.284-07:00Lovely, again very interesting.
