Making our Lavender Essential Oil Massage Bars

Ingredients

Heart-shaped molds or Mold of choice (you can use ice cube trays!)

1/2 cup coconut oil

1/2 cup shea butter

1/2 cup beeswax pellets (these help the bars keep their structure and last longer)

1/4 cup dried lavender buds

10-12 drops lavender essential oil

3-4 drops Vitamin E oil

Instructions

Sprinkle approximately 1/2 Tablespoon of dried lavender buds into the bottom of each heart-shaped mold. Set aside.

Place the coconut oil and beeswax pellets in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH, in 20 seconds at a time or until melted. If using the stove top, place in small sauce pan on low.

Add the shea butter to the melted oil and mix. The warm oil should melt the shea butter on it’s own. If not, heat for a few seconds then remove. Stir in lavender oil.
