Basic Lotion Bars
Ingredients:
2 oz beeswax
1 oz almond oil
1 oz cocoa butter
Fragrance oil or essential oil
Directions:
Melt beeswax and cocoa butter on the stove or microwave in a clean pot. Once melted, remove from heat and
add the almond oil. Mix in the fragrance oil or essential oil one drop at a time until it's reached the desired scent.
Pour the mixture into a mold or even a deodorant tube (for easy, non-messy application) and let it set completely
before using.
Magic Lotion
In small pan over water melt
3 tabs. safflower oil
1 tabs. lanolin
1 tabs cocoa butter
1/3 cup light mineral oil
1tsp. almond extract or add eos of you like
Let cool
In a pint jar place
2 tabs. water
1 tabs glycerine
1/4 cup plus 2 tabs. 70% ethanol alcohol
1 drop food or other color
When the oils are cool add to the pint jar and shake. Divide into (2) 6 oz jars.
In about half an hour the lotion will separate into 3 different layers. Each one a different color. Shake and it
becomes an emulsion, let stand and it separates again. This is really pretty and feels so good.

Bath & Body Recipes of 75
1/4 cup of Aloe Vera Gel
2 tablespoons of grapeseed oil (the recipe calls for sweet almond oil, so use what you like :)
Will make 4 ozs.
Mix together the Irish Moss and water and let sit for 20 min.
Pour the mixture into a small saucepan and boil for 20 min. Strain off the solids; You will gave a clear jelly.
Measure 1/4 cup of your seaweed jelly and mix with the aloe vera gel. Let the mixture cool completely.
* Pour the seaweed mixture into the blender and blend on low speed; slowly add the oil in a thin stream until all is
blended.
Pour into container.
Mint Body Lotion
1/2 cup mint water (see note below)
1/8 tsp. borax powder
1/2 c. sunflower oil
1 tsp. coconut oil
1 tsp. grated beeswax
3-4 drops peppermint oil (optional)
Mix together the mint water and the borax, stirring until well mixed. Set aside.
Mix together the sunflower oil, coconut oil, and beeswax in a glass measuring cup. Place the cup with the oils--
beeswax mixture in a pan of water (about 1 to 2 inches of water), making a water bath. Heat over medium heat
until the beeswax is melted (8 to 10 minutes), stirring occasionally.
When the wax is melted, bring the mint solution almost to boiling (put the glass cup with the mint water/borax in
the microwave on High for 1 minute, or use a water bath on the stove top).
Remove the oils-beeswax mixture from the water bath. Slowly add mint water/borax to the mixture in the blender
and whip).
Allow the lotion to cool completely. The consistentency may seem a bit thin, but it will thicken as it cools. The
lotion will be pale green in color. You may add the peppermint oil now if you wish.
Pour the lotion into a clean container with a lid. To use, massage a small amount into your skin.
Note: Mint water is made by boiling fresh or dried mint leaves in water and then letting the mixture cool. Strain off
the mint leaves. I use 1 cup fresh mint (1/4 cup dried mint leaves) to 1 cup water.
This lotion is very refreshing after a shower.
Rosewater & Glycerin Lotion
2 tablespoons glycerine
2 tablespoons corn flower (cornstarch)
1/2 cup distilled water

in the microwave on High (stirring every 30 seconds), or on the stove top in a water bath. The lotion will be clear
and jellylike; stir thoroughly and cool completely. When the lotion is cool, pour into a clean, airtight container.
Note: If your lotion becomes too thick, you can thin it by adding water, one tablespoon at a time and stirring
thoroughly.
