A couple years back I had visited a farm festival here. I got some amazing soap and lotion bars.
I've been reading about making lotion bars with the winter and cold and flu season coming. I am always washing and sanitizing my hands, especially with taking care of three kids and the dog. My hands are already starting to get really dry and my thumbs are starting to crack...But anyway. Is it really so simple as equal parts of coconut oil / bees wax / shea butter?
I don't have any EO on hand I only have fragrance oil. Would that be okay to use?

I love lotion bars in the winter! I need to start making a few for the family, too. Generally the recipe consists of 1/3 beeswax, 1/3 butters and 1/3 liquid oils. You can certainly try the coconut oil to see if you like it, but I'd recommend maybe trying a liquid oil instead such as grapeseed or sweet almond oil. As for the fragrance oil there is no reason to not use it if you like the scent and it is safe for use on the body.

If your thumbs are cracked, I would go with unscented. The fragrance might make the cracks more irritating.

I think I'll go and get some almond oil today. Maybe the health food store will have some.

For summer, I use lighter oils in my lotion bars and for winter I love using Avocado oil and Shea butter bars on my hands and feet before going to bed. :D
