Rosemary Lotion Bars

Materials

  • Ingredients:
  • 1 part raw unrefined Shea butter
  • 1 part raw unrefined mango butter
  • 1 part rosemary washed and separated from the stem
  • 1 oz of local beeswax
  • Icecube tray or muffin tin

Instructions

  • To Make:
  • Rinse rosemary thoroughly
  • Place the herbs, mango butter, shea butter, and beeswax in a double boiler (you can put them directly in a pot here, but I prefer the double boiler method)
  • Melt on low heat, stirring occasionally for 30-45 minutes to infuse. Allow to cool *slightly* but not too long, or the wax will start to set!
  • Using a fine-mesh sieve (or cheesecloth), strain flowers from oil mixture keeping the oil in a bowl with a pour spout
  • Pour oil into molds and allow to cool for several hours until firm. They should pop out easily once cooled. I like to place my mold in the freezer because it makes the bars easier to spring from the mold.
  • Store in a glass jar or tin in a cool dark place
