- Heat the soap, coconut oil and water on medium heat until all the soap and coconut oil have dissolved.
- Once everything is dissolved, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool.
- If you want to add 10-20 drops of essential oils for fragrance you can do so now.
- Now you let it sit and cool. I stirred about once an hour to keep my essential oils blended in.
- After about 5 hours of cooling and pour the soap into the pump bottle. If the soap is thick, then stir it with a whisk and added another cup of water for a perfect consistency.
Moisturize your skin and hair while in the shower with these bath melts.

Method:
- .
- Place the cocoa butter and coconut oil in a bowl over a double boiler. Stir occasionally until it’s completely melted. Remove from heat.
- Stir in lavender essential oil. Pour into a silicone mold and let cool for 20 minutes. Put in fridge for a few hours to completely solidify. Remove from molds. Store in a cool, dry place.
To use: add to your bath water and let it melt as you relax. Be careful, as coconut oil can make your bathtub slippery. Shelf life: 3 months.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Coconut Oil
- 1/2 cup Shea Butter or Cocoa Butter
- 2/3 cup grated beeswax
- 1 teaspoon Vitamin E oil
- Few drops of Essential Oils
Use a double boiler to melt the coconut oil, shea butter and beeswax. Stir in-between, until the mixture is liquid and smooth. Turn off the heat and add in the vitamin e oil and essential oils. Quickly pour into whatever molds you are using. I highly recommend silicon muffin cups or molds. Leave in molds for at least 4 hours or overnight and carefully pop them out of molds.
To use, smooth the lotion bar on dry skin just like you would use a body lotion to moisturize and soften the skin. Keep the lotion bars in cool, dry place as coconut oil will melt in extreme temperate. Shelf life: 6 months.
