I have been wanting to make lotions bars for some time so I decided to make a few as Christmas gifts this year. I am pleased with how they turned out but I really want to make more soon and experiment with the scent. I melted together 3 oz of beeswax I bought from a local honey store, 3 oz of almond oil and 3 oz of coconut oil. I sprinkled in 4 drops of lemon oil for scent. The bars smell like honey and lemon which is surprisingly pleasant. I poured the concoction into 5 Altoid size tins. They cooled pretty quickly and we're ready for use in 20 minutes. Now I want to add an apiary to the farm for honey and wax. I'm guessing that is not going to happen though.
