Hi Everyone,
I want to melt down my lotion bars AGAIN! These are nice, but I would like to make them a little softer.
What can I add to this recipe that would make them a little softer?

1/4 lb. Ecosoya
1 lb. Bees Wax
1 lb. 100% olive oil
Mica
Fragrance Oil

Thanks for any suggestions,
einnoc

While any soft oil will do, I personally like avocado, hemp seed, grape seed, and jojoba the best.
Let us know what you end up going with and how you like it!

Yes! This was the first thing I ever made! I had no idea how much I was making! Now I have lots of lotion bars!!! :lol:

Any suggestions on how much oil to add? I have hemp seed, grape seed, and jojoba aleady.

How about coconut oil?

Would a butter make it softer?

Could I add a butter like mango or coconut?

I'm going to end up with even more lotion bars!!! :lol:

Adding any butter will not make it softer. Try adding 10% liquid oil, then take it from there.

You dont have to make it all into sticks. You could put some onto wide-mouth jars. :P
