Omg this is easy. You can make one tin or 100!
It's an "equal parts" recipe, easy to adapt to many size batches.
I prefer my lotion bar be in a tin so it's less messy. I'm using altoid tins. I used to be addicted and have about 50 of them. I'm thinking another homemade Christmas gift, or at least Mother's Day gifts.
I use a kitchen scale to weigh my ingredients. My coconut oil was liquefied so I zero'd it out with a shot glass on it for measuring.
In a glass canning jar add
Equal parts:
Coconut oil
Bees wax
Cocoa butter
For one Altoid can, I used a half ounce of each (adjust the coconut oil and beeswax is it's too hard or if it's liquids, equal ratios came out great for me)
I put it in my cosmetic canning jar that I use specifically for making cosmetics so as not to have rose scented food.
I microwaved it 30 seconds, then in 15-20 second intervals
I used 6 drops orange eo and 3 drops clove eo.
Pour into tin and let set up.
I put it in the refrigerator and it set up in 3 to 5 minutes.
I got so excited I already swiped my fingers crossed it to use some.
I think I might make one in a mold to use as a lotion bar to try next time. This ratio was not too soft so it should come out great and not be mushy.
I have some fun candy molds I never use anymore that would be cute for gifts.
