Matcha Lotion Bar Recipe
These matcha lotion bars are solid at room temperature but melt into a luxurious, moisturizing cream when rubbed onto the skin.
Yield: 4 bars
Cost: $8
Equipment
- Double boiler or saucepan and heat-proof glass container
- Silicone mold
Materials
- 1 cup cocoa butter
- ½ cup beeswax
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder
- 20 drops sweet orange essential oil
- 32- ounce mason jar or tin can
- Silicone baking molds or a well-greased muffin pan
Instructions
- Fill a medium pot with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Place a mason jar inside the pot to create a double boiler.
- Add coconut oil, beeswax, and cocoa butter to the jar and stir occasionally until the mixture is fully melted.
- Remove from the heat and add your essential oils and matcha powder. Stir. Pour the liquid into your molds and allow the lotion bars to cool fully before removing.
Notes
To use, simply rub the bars on your skin. As they warm up, they'll leave behind a thin layer of moisture.
