I haven't made my own lotion, but I do make my own facial toner (I make rose water and lavender water out of the organic flowers in my yard and mix half and half) and I make my own lip balm. I make it about the same as yours, but I use a bit of olive oil with the wax because I'm allergic to coconuts, and sometimes I put in some hibiscus (also from my yard) to tint it a pretty pink!<br /><br />I've seen so many great uses for coconut oil in homemade products (everything from beauty bars to mayo) that I really wish I could use it!Luckiehttp://usernameredacted.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-56137056262212501502012-03-17T18:45:56.688-05:002012-03-17T18:45:56.688-05:00Becky,

If you do try the lip balm you might try using olive oil instead of coconut oil since you have had issues with coconut oil working for your lips. Good reminder on the oils!Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842277589160618685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-23327303940864858042012-03-17T18:44:01.580-05:002012-03-17T18:44:01.580-05:00Emma,

The molds that I used were pretty colorful however as my daughter Mara had used them previously to make heart shaped crayons. The color didn't go into the lotion bars which I was thankful for.<br /><br />Robin,<br />Thanks for noticing that I forgot to put in "cup". I fixed it now!Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842277589160618685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-59367866770678678592012-03-17T16:41:00.433-05:002012-03-17T16:41:00.433-05:00In the lip balm recipe, it says 1/2 coconut oil. ...In the lip balm recipe, it says 1/2 coconut oil.

It works great on my skin.<br /><br />I do still buy lip balm because I find the cocunut oil dries out my lips. I may try making yours.<br /><br />FYI make sure the oils you use are for eating, not just for aromatherapy.<br /><br />Thanks for the recipes.Becky Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02099347717228504160noreply@blogger.com
