How to Make Lotion Bars

Tuesday June 9, 2009
Cocoa Butter Massage BarsWell...they're not really "lotion" - in that lotion is a combination of oils and water. Technically, they'd be called "balms" - but "balm bars" just doesn't sound as nice. They're a little bit lotion, a little bit massage oil - closely related to the candle - but in a class all by their self...we can call them massage bars, I suppose. With ingredients you probably already have on your shelf if you're a candle and soap maker, you can make these decadently easy massage bars. And though technically not a candle or a soap - it's so closely related that I've created a whole new category on the site -- Bath & Body -- that has information on Bath Fizzies, Bath Salts and more.
