Homemade Lavender Lotion Bars
I’m sure you’ve seen lotion bar or massage bars in stores, but it turns out that they are surprisingly simple to make at home. They can be used for lotion on pretty well any part of the body or as an alternative to massage oil. Here is the recipe for homemade lavender lotion bars.

Lavender Lotion Bars
1/2 c beeswax
1/2 c shea butter
1/2 c sweet almond oil
15 drops lavender essential oil
 
In a double boiler (or small pot in a larger pot of water), melt grated beeswax and oil until combined.
Add shea butter and stir just until melted with a metal or plastic utensil. Do not overheat.
Immediately pour into molds of your choosing.
Add essential oils and stir with a toothpick.
Allow to set at room temperature for a couple hours or in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Pop ’em out and enjoy.
 
If you can’t find them in store, all of these ingredients can be purchased at Essential 7.
 
These lavender lotion bars are very emollient. Shea butter is especially nourishing and moisturizing, and it can be used to treat a myriad of skin problems. The sweet almond oil soothes muscles and even promotes healing. Lavender essential oil adds a relaxing aromatherapy component as well as its healing properties.  These bars soak into the skin well with no sticky residue or greasiness.
 
It will be fun to experiment with different scents from essential oils and add-ins such as coffee or other types of dry beans.   Winter and extra-handwashing have made my hands super dry. I love having these on display/ready to grab near the soap on our bathroom sinks and in my purse for a quick grab. Not to mention a cute gift!

Meet Dana Leibfried

 
We are are family of four that live on a hobby farm with all kinds of barn yard critters in a rural Minnesota community.  Young Living has changed our life, given us hope, and empowered us to take charge of our health and our family's. Before I found Young Living, I knew that my lifestyle was unhealthy, but I didn’t care because I was very pessimistic about my future health. My future of wellness is within my control; there is no need to play the victim. God provided us with everything that we need on this earth to not only to survive, but to thrive.  I feel empowered as a mom to take better care of my family, and I love knowing I am giving them the best!  Young Living’s oils and products have offered support to mine and my family's  wellness I have not felt with other products. The oils are an easy and safe solution for my whole family’s needs. The oils smooth out our day, and my only regret is not finding them sooner.  With the help of Young Living, my family and I now reap the natural bounty that God has given to us!
