I've looked at so many websites at this point, I don't remember where I saw it, but has anyone heard of/made lotion sticks? I guess I'm envisioning a gigantic lip balm tube... is this right? Is there a recipe you like for this? I'm a scrub nurse by night, so my hands are always dried out- thought this might be a good thing for me!!

TIA!
Marie

You can take just about any body butter or balm recipe and make it into a bar. By putting it in a lip balm tube, large lip balm tube, oval lip balm tube, or a deodorant tube, you will get the lotion stick you are looking for.

Really? Wow- its a little scary how little I know in this area! Now, beeswax would make a body butter stiffer- right?

There is usually some amount of beeswax in most recipes, but not all, and not always. You can accomplish hardness with other waxes or with the harder butters and/or the hard at room temp oils. If you look up the recipe section on teach soap I am sure you will find an appropriate recipe, but if you don't like those, or want more choices, there are actually several sites that offer recipes. You can try blog.thesage.com or the wsp.com recipe section, and googling should net you even more to choose from.

If you want to make your own, I suggest you look at the other recipes to get an idea of their percentages, then begin to sub in your choice of oils and butters. Keep in mind that you cannot have all soft butters (like shea) and still have something that will hold its shape. While you are likely to see large differences in recipes, the percentages of hard oils/waxes/butters to the liquid oils should have a pretty clear range, then you will just need try it and decide what % ratio you like the best.

Good luck and happy creating!

I really like using lotion sticks more for using on my elbows and feet.
I also made a nice cocoa butter lotion stick to use on my belly when I was pregnant with my youngest.
