Lotion bar suggestions

[Guest guest]

I am looking for a hard lotion bar recipe. The ones I have tried are all

too soft.

Yesterday I tried 1 part coconut oil, 1/4 part apricot oil, 1 part

beeswax, 1 part cocoa butter and while it is moisurizing it is too soft.

Especially since I had the idea to put the base in a 2 " pvc and cut it

from there. This recipe is better suited for a tube, I think.

So I am looking for a lotion abr recipe that would be hard enough to use a

2 " pvc as a mold. Is this possible?

Maureen,

You can increase the beeswax till you get what you want. Also, im thinking

when you cut it... it may not want to cut clean. Im thinking that because

when I cut off some of my lotion bar base I make, its a bit on the hard side

and dosnt cut clean but then its usualy right out of the refridge. I dont

know, you can try it. Good thing about lotion bars is that you can remelt

it down and do it different if your idea dosnt work out.
