This is my favorite lotion bar recipe.

2oz Beeswax
1oz Cocoa Butter
1oz Shea Butter
1oz Sweet Almond Oil
1oz Jojoba Oil
1/8 to 1/4 oz starch
1/8 to 1/4 oz fragrance
1/8 to 1/4 oz honey powder
Mica for color

It's easy to double or triple. Or convert to a huge batch.

If you decide to try it make a tiny batch to figure your personal preference of honey and starch - I like natrasorb, but plain cornstarch or wheat starch works good, too.

Thanks a bunch!!!!

Yep Deda's recipe is good, 1 part wax. 1 part butter, 1 part oil.

You can use the same recipe for lip balm.

Re: lotion bar recipe

What role does the honey powder and starch play in the lotion bar?

 

[Deda]

Honestly, the honey is mostly label appeal, feel free to leave it out.

I do use honey in many things, it has antibacterial properties, healing properties, and even said to increase stamina.
Like Tabitha said, I use the same recipe for lip balm, except I up the honey powder as it provides a nice sweet taste.
The starch, I like natrasorb, provides a satiny feel.
