Heart Lotion Bars Project
This recipe is made with sweet almond oil, cocoa butter, and Vanilla Select Fragrance Oil. The bars are solid at room temperature but melt on contact with the skin. They’re great for extra dry patches like elbows, knees, and hands.
The bars couldn’t be easier to make – simply melt together the beeswax and sweet almond oil, then add the cocoa butter wafers and stir. The natural scent of cocoa butter smells amazing with the Vanilla Select Fragrance Oil.

You will need:
