Guest guest Posted August 12, 2001 Report Share Posted August 12, 2001 Thanks for the help Shaye! I was hoping that I was making sense there. I could care less about the " looks " of there being a hole, but I know some people might care. I didn't know if it would affect the way the thing went up when turned either.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2001 Report Share Posted August 12, 2001 Oh, well it shouldnt effect they way it turns up cuz the mechanics of the tubes are still the same. And your welcome. I hoped it was some help. Shaye Re: Lotion Bars Thanks for the help Shaye! I was hoping that I was making sense there.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2001 Report Share Posted August 12, 2001 Yes, you were lots of help. And I just realized that I sounded pretty silly with those questions!

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 Christi.... i find the lotion bars are wonderful for the elbows, feet, heels, legs.... anyplace that tends to be really really dry. also very nice on cuticles. i always suggest just patting dry after the shower, and applying the lotion bar while the skin is still damp. my husband has very dry legs in the winter and he wouldn't be without his lotion bar! it's the only thing that stops the dryness and itching.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2001 Report Share Posted November 23, 2001 Please, could you all share the recipe for these wonderful " lotion bars " ? Thank you. Carol (from Mo.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 25, 2001 Report Share Posted November 25, 2001 Hi Carol: I am sending you two recipes that come out beautifully smooth and creamy. One is for a Lotion Bar the other one is bor Body Butter, which is also solid. Lotion Bar 1.5 oz wt Beeswax 1oz wt Cocoa Butter 1.5 oz wt Shea Butter 2 oz wt Almond Oil 1/4 tsp Vitamin E Oil Put ingredients into a 2 cup pyrex measuring cup microwave untill everything has melted. Let cool for a few minutes and add essential or fragrance oils if desired. For this one I used 1 part Sandalwood and 3 parts orange essential oil. Pour into container. I used 2 oz deodorant tubes, this recipe makes three 2 oz containers. Body Butter 3 oz wt Cocoa Butter 2oz wt Mango Butter 2oz wt Shea Butter 1oz wt Apricot oil 1 tsp Vitamin E Oil Put everything into a 2 cup pyrex measuring cup. Microwave untill everything has melted together. Let cool a few minutes and add scented oils if desired. I used Apricot fragrance oil for this one. Pour into container. I also used the 2oz deodorant tubes for this one. This recipe makes 3 two ounce containers plue about a little over an ounce extra. I put the extra into melt and pour soap molds. These are not grainy but very smooth and creamy. Blessings: Raven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Might consider selling them if I knew what they were and how to make them! Sounds very interesting. Cheers Ruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I used to sell it in the small deodorant containers and sold a decent number of them, but then the popularity dropped off so I don't sell them anymore. For myself, I like them. For these dry months, I like to make them in soap molds to use when I get out of the shower. Seems like it would be a difficult sell, though. I had to do a lot of explaining and promoting them as good for traveling and keeping in one's purse. I thought of selling them in the tins for men but never tried.
