Yesterday I made my first batch of lotion bars, I have only tried them so far on my hands. They seem to work pretty good, accept they are a little waxy/sticky. I used beewax that is natural and in chunks, smells awesome but wondering if this is the cause of my little bit tacky feeling bar! I also have apricot and sweet almond oils, shea and cocoa butters. The recipe was 1 part each beewax, oils, butters!

Thanks

Give them another day or two to set up and they may feel differently. If not, you can re-melt them and adjust your recipe.

I agree about letting them sit for another day or so. Sometimes they just need time to mellow.

Almost forgot! Make sure you keep good notes so you'll know what you like and don't like about each batch.
