Hello from Indiana Help with lotion bars.

My lotion bars stay mushy in the center. What am I doing wrong

What is your recipe? I’m not a lotion bar expert but have made 3 batches. One of the batches was too soft but it was the recipe. I remelted, added more beeswax & they hardened perfectly.

It was 1 cup beeswax, one cup Shea butter, one cup coconut oil then the essential oil

You're using 2 oils soft at room temp. This is also going to be super greasy. You can try to improve it by melting and adding cocoa butter.

My suggestions:

1) Look at the different lotion bar recipes on WSP website.

2) Make a VERY small batch - 50g is way more than enough.

3) Use a scale and measure in weight.
