Make your own Lotion Bar

Make your own lotion bars with this recipe. The Natural Cocoa butter contained in this bar is what has made it so popular, when this bar is applied to the skin, it melts very slowly moisturizing the skin with its proven moisturizing abilities.

Cocoa butter naturally smells somewhat like chocolate, these bars can be left unscented for that chocolate smell or scented with other scents such as Lavender.
