C-Mango Lotion Bars

[Lindy]

Hi everyone - I decided to try my first lotion bar today and I did it 2 ways:

In a stick

& in a bar

Thanks for the ideas everyone - I love this!!

 

[Dixie]

I want one!!!! I gotta try this now, see what you've done! :wink:

They look great! So creamy and yummy looking!

Did you wrap the hearts in shrink wrap or saran wrap?

 

[Lindy]

Thanks Dixie! They were so much fun and really easy. You can so smell the bees wax in them too....yummy!

Ashley - thanks! I used Saran Wrap and then those labels I bought from you...... 8)

Thanks Pepper!

Tanya - thank you and your're welcome.... :? Seriously they are a lot of fun to make and they feel amazing! I really like the stick because I can throw it into my purse and take with me. I'm going to introduce them this weekend in Gibsons so I'm looking forward to the response there plus here at home next weekend! I ordered some more ingredients and containers anticipating a strong demand for it.....I hope.... 8)

Those look divine! Is there a tut on this forum on how to make lotion bars?

 

[LJA]

Lindy, those are beautiful!!! :shock:

 

[lsg]

Those are very professional looking.

Just a tip Lindy , I find the E-ZEE wrap brand of cling wrap sticks better and closer to the tarts.A lot cheaper too. You can get it at wally world , comes with a dispenser that you can attach to the wall , makes it way easier to try to wrap those little lotion tarts.

Seen 'em up close and personal today. Even got to try it. Even went home with one. : ) Feels soooo good and smells great. Love them.

 

[Lindy]

Thank you everyone! Kitn thank for the suggestion on the wrap I go check that out!

Yes - it's true - I got a visitor at the mall today! Thanks for coming down there Jody!

Lindy do these come out of the mold easier than soap? I want to make some but don't have any molds and I was wondering if I poured them in those paper muffin cups if it would peel off easily?

Lovely! I love lotion bars, but I have yet to put them in a tube. Less messy for sure!

Dixie: I don't think I would use a paper wrapper because you melt the oils and pour them hot into the mold. I would imagine that paper would absorb the oils. Do you have a silicone muffin mold? A regular muffin tin might also work, just pop them in the freezer for a bit. I find that lotion bars come out, in general, better than soaps. Individual soap molds work great too!

 

[Lindy]

Dixie I don't know about paper on these either - I used individual silicone cup cake molds and they came out super easy! I totally agree with Simply E with the comments.

Simply E - people seem to really like the push-up tubes - they love the idea of being able to carry your lotion with you in your purse to use whenever- whereever....Actaully I have to admit I do too! Mine is sitting in my purse....

Yeah, I made mine without the push up and just plastic wrap. It just gets messy without a way to keep it in some sort of container. I just keep meaning to buy the push up or twist up, like you did! I think the push up are great for the airplane, too! No liquid lotion.

I used my mini muffin tins as molds, they pop right out.

 

[SimplyE]

Hey Lindy, what size of tubes did you use, and do you like that size?
