Tangerine Lotion Bar Project
These natural Tangerine Lotion Bars are great for dry skin. Firm at room temperature, they melt slightly on contact with the skin. They're scented with tangerine essential oil, which gives the bars a bright scent. A touch of turmeric powder adds a natural yellow hue. In our tests, we did not find the turmeric powder showed up on the skin.
The Citrus Silicone Mold creates an adorable shape that fits perfectly in your hand. We recommend allowing the bars to cool completely to make sure the details of the mold release cleanly.

Tangerine Essential Oil - 1.5 oz
Mango Butter - 1 lb
