Lavender Lotion Bar

Description

Lavender Lotion Bar Ingredients: Shea butter, Coconut Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Beeswax, Vitamin E, Lavender Essential Oil, and Arrowroot Powder.

Each lotion bar comes in a 2-ounce round reusable tin.

These lotion bars are perfect for travel, gardening, or anything on the go. It makes a great addition to gift baskets, care packages, stocking stuffers, or to keep in the bathroom or bedside.

Because this lotion bar is handmade in small batches with varying colors of beeswax, you may see slight variations from batch to batch. Each item is unique in color and may contain specks of natural ingredients found within the beeswax. Beeswax is naturally white, but it is colored by pigments found in the pollen the bees collect. Therefore, your lotion bar might look slightly different than the one pictured.

How to use lotion bars:

Gently rub the lotion bar in your hands or directly on dry, scaly, itchy, irritated skin patches, cuticles, cracked knuckles, feet and heels, stretch marks, etc… for a few seconds. Your body temperature will very slightly melt the bar. Only a small amount is needed. Reapply as needed. Try using it right after the shower when your pores are open to allow the moisturizer to penetrate deeply and nourish the skin. It’s also great to use before bedtime.

Lotion bars are designed to soften on contact with your skin, which means they can also melt when exposed to extreme heat. We encourage you to not leave them in places of extreme heat, ie, car, windowsill, beach bag, close to heaters, etc… If melting occurs, don’t worry. You can pop it into the fridge, and it will re-solidify.

Do not use our lotion bars if you are allergic or sensitive to any of the ingredients listed. If you are concerned about sensitivity, test a small amount first. These lotion bars are not intended for internal use. Do not use on broken skin.
