It’s known not only for its soothing and relaxing aromatherapy benefits, but it is also known to be a disinfectant for skin, increases circulation, heal burns, and soothing eczema.

Lavender Lotion Bar Recipe: How to Make Lotion Bars
Ingredients:
1/2 cup shea butter (CLICK HERE to buy shea butter)
1 Cup cup coconut oil (CLICK HERE to buy coconut oil)
1 cup beeswax (CLICK HERE to buy beeswax)
15-20 drops Lavender essential oil (CLICK HERE to buy lavender oil)
Molds-I used a simple paper water cup for my mold but you can also pick up pretty silicone molds to make your lotion bars in, here are a few that would be a great size for yours.
Directions:
In a small saucepan melt beeswax and coconut oil until smooth and completely liquid.
Stir in shea butter until it has dissolved.
Remove from heat and add essential oils to scent, add oil starting with 10 drops and continue adding until the strength of the fragrance smells good to you but not overpowering.
Pour ingredients into molds and allow to set overnight.
Remove from molds and store in a cool, dry place! If they are left in a hot car or very warm spot they will melt.
Make a batch and fill a pretty mason jar for a handmade gift.
And there you have it! Your easy Lavender Lotion Bar Recipe!
