smelly lotion bars

[catikit]

My lotion bars (beeswax, shea butter, almond oil) have an odd smell to them-similar to tobacco. Is it the beeswax?

Sorry to ask what may be a silly question, but do any of your ingredients ts smell?

Be sure not to overheat.

How old are your ingredients?

Not old at all. I wonder if i overheated them actually...I just sort of blasted them in a pan to heat them quickly......oh dear

That could be why.

I always melt mine in the microwave in 30 second bursts or in a double boiler.
