Tangerine Lotion Bar Project
- Skill Level: Beginner
- Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 4 lotion bars
Project Description
These natural Tangerine Lotion Bars are great for dry skin. Firm at room temperature, they melt slightly on contact with the skin. They're scented with tangerine essential oil, which gives the bars a bright scent. A touch of turmeric powder adds a natural yellow hue. In our tests, we did not find the turmeric powder showed up on the skin.
The Citrus Silicone Mold creates an adorable shape that fits perfectly in your hand. We recommend allowing the bars to cool completely to make sure the details of the mold release cleanly.
You will need:
- Citrus Silicone Mold
- 4 oz. Coconut Oil
- 4 oz. White Beeswax
- 2 oz. Mango Butter
- 1 oz. Lemon Extract
- 0.3 oz. Tangerine Essential Oil
- 1/8 tsp. Turmeric Powder
Follow these steps:
1
In a heat-safe container, add 4 ounces of coconut oil, 4 ounces of white beeswax, 2 ounces of mango butter, and 1 ounce of lemon extract. Melt in the microwave using 60 second bursts.
2
Add 0.3 ounces of tangerine essential oil to the melted oils and stir thoroughly.
3
Add 1/8 teaspoon of turmeric powder and stir until there are no clumps.
4
Pour the mixture into each mold cavity. Allow to cool completely for several hours or up to overnight.
5
Carefully remove from the mold and enjoy!
