Hi,
What is the difference between a Body butter and a lotion bar?

They seem to be the same to me, except a lotion bar is hard.

For the most part they are similar. Lotion bars are usually butter, oil & wax. Body butter's are usually butter & oil. Some people add water & ewax to their body butters, to make it more lotion like.

Ewax is an emulsifying wax that binds water and oils together.

And some people do not use wax in their lotion bars. so really, one is a bar and one is in a jar and that and the name is the only real difference :lol:

Thanks, Tammy.
There didn't seem to be any real difference to me. I didn't know if I were missing something.
