So I just did my first lotion bar experiment. I don't usually use lotion as my skin is pretty normal. I do have a couple of people who have requested that I make lotions, but I'm just now putting some serious thought into this. I think everything went well. I did my research and formulated a plan. My recipe was as follows:
2 oz each
cocoa butter
sweet almond oil
coconut oil
beeswax
I tried that and it felt to waxy so I remelted and added 2 oz shea butter. Now it seems to melt super easy. I don't want to add any more wax to the batch because I'd be back where I started. Any suggestions of what to do? Or are they supposed to feel greasy and melt easily. (by easy I mean I tried to pick one up and it immediately started slipping out of my fingers):???:
