Homemade Lemon Lotion Bars

Directions

1. 1
   In a medium sized saucepan, melt together the shea butter, coconut oil, and beeswax over low heat just until the beeswax melts.
2. 2
   Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon essential oil if you're using it. Then carefully pour the mixture into the molds of your choice, or paper muffin cup liners.
3. 3
   Let the lotion bars completely set up before using them. This takes at least 1 hour at room temperature, and around 15 minutes if refrigerated.
4. 4
   When the bars are solid, remove them from the molds, and keep them in a cool dark place tightly sealed in a container for up to 6 months.
