i'm going to show you how to take a rich

and creamy good lotion and turn

that into a bar it's going to be great it's going to renew your faith in lotion bars

and hopefully it's going to make for some great gifts this season

so let's make lotion bars for our first lotion bar recipe

oh yes this is going to be one of three we're starting off by making a classic lotion bar

well lotion bar in quotations considering you'll only need free ingredients it's completely all natural and it's perfect for beginners.

In a large heatproof container measure out 50 grams of cocoa butter.

Yes you can use other butters but I specifically chose to use cocoa butter because it's widely available, easy to recognize and you can tell if it's high quality or not.

If it doesn't smell like chocolate, chuck it in the bin.

But the main reason is for its firm and smooth texture.

The harder the butter you use, the less wax you'll need to make a solid bar

and that's how you get that really melty buttery smooth lotion bar that doesn't feel like rubbing chalk on your skin

next up we have 16 grams of beeswax again you can use any wax here

and candelilla is a great vegan alternative but beeswax works well here

because it's a soft wax that gives our body butter bars a little flexibility

so that they're solid but not rock hard and lastly to bring everything together will need 33 grams of oil.

Now I'm actually using extra virgin olive oil because it's a great moisturizer and you're likely to already have it at home,

but insert your favorite oil here, it really doesn't matter.

The trick to making the perfect body butter bars is all about finding the right balance between solids and liquids.

Natural ingredients are more temperamental, so low and slow is the game when it comes to heating.

I'd recommend either using a double boiler

or bain marie like you see here to avoid overheating allow the butter

and wax to melt stirring occasionally to help it along after

about 20 minutes you should have a completely liquid mixture next up molds i'd encourage you to use silicone molds

that are really flexible and

that way you won't have a hard time taking out your body butter bars now

because there's no preservative these bars will work best in small

single use molds out of this 100 gram mixture I was able to get 4 .25 bars.

Refrigerate overnight although I did leave these in for about 24 hours

and when you're done they should pop out of the moulds easily.

Now let's see if these free ingredient bars are up to scratch.

You know what these are like the final form of every online DIY skincare recipe

that promises you the perfect product with just free ingredients.

Are they perfect?

No. But they are pretty good.

You see the way it just glides across your skin with no resistance and it leaves that trail of moisture?

That is exactly what you want in a lotion bar.

You know, I just can't get mad at something like this.

It's so easy to make, it's free ingredients, completely all natural.

It smells amazing, thanks for the cocoa butter that we used.

But it does have some obvious flaws.

The first and most obvious is that these aren't lotion bars.

I honestly don't know why they keep being called that, but they have no hydrating capabilities and they can't come in contact with water.

And I hate to admit it, but they are on the greasier side.

What I would describe these as being are like solid body butters.

So if you love the rich decadence of a good body butter, these little body butter bars will be your new obsession.

And because they're so easy to make

and completely natural they'll make for the perfect gift

if you're a beginner or just starting to get into making your own skincare

but for those of you who want something a little more refined

and a little less greasy let's make real lotion bars next up we have the ultra creamy often imitated

but never quite replicated true lotion bar in another heatproof bowl

start by adding 52 .5 grams of shea butter that's right we're moving on to cocoa butter's creamier cousin.

Unrefined shea butter has an off -white malleable texture that's soft enough to squeeze just with your fingertips.

It will give our lotion bar a soft, rich texture that melts on the skin.

To that, you can optionally add a little bit of cocoa butter.

And here's where things start to get really interesting because we're using 22 .5 grams of an emulsifying wax.

Emulsifying waxes have hydrophobic and hydrophilic qualities that bind oils and water together.

So when the bar is used on wet skin it forms a creamy emulsion that helps extra moisture absorb into your skin.

This is not the same as beeswax and no you can't substitute it with bees, soy or any other type of wax.

After adding the non -negotiable emulsifying wax you'll need 12 grams of a regular wax.

I'm using candelilla wax which will give our lotion bars a firmer smooth set

but you can substitute this one with any regular wax

and then we'll need oh um this is kind of embarrassing i actually forgot the next ingredient Fortunately,

futuremeatholealise .com has already written out the whole recipe, including measurements, tips on ingredients, and even links to where I buy them.

Wow!

But anyway, do click the free recipe link in the description box below for more information.

Now that we're all up to date on ingredients, we'll need 22 .5 grams of almond oil, followed by 18 grams of fractionated coconut oil.

This gives just the right balance of moisturizing but light emollients but you can use your favorite vegetable oils instead.

Like before, melt your ingredients over a low gentle heat, stirring occasionally.

Seeing as it will take a while, you can use this time to measure out 7 .5 grams of arrowroot powder.

This is a fine pillowy white powder that will absorb excess oil

and cut down on that greasy texture that you can get with lotion bars.

Keep whisking to make sure that the powder is fully dissolved and no lumps remain.

Cornstarch, yes the very same that thickens sauces, will also work, so use whichever you have available.

Turn off the heat and allow the malter mixture to cool, but make sure that it is still liquid.

Add in your preservative.

I'm using optifent, but it might be called something different depending on where you are.

Again check the recipe link in the description below for more

information on the exact INCI of this preservative once the preservative

is mixed in immediately transfer to your molds don't dilly

or dally here as the mixture will start to set on the sides of the container

so be careful these lotion bars can be used multiple times

so you're not limited to bite -sized molds again refrigerate for at least 12 hours

and just like that you'll have made real lotion bars now let's see if they were worth those extra steps.

Now this is a lotion bar.

Just the skin feel alone is a huge step up from the previous recipe.

Now bars are always going to be richer and thicker than traditional lotions

but the emulsifying wax and preservative allows you to use this in water

and that really speeds up the absorption time as well as cutting down on the oiliness.

But a word of warning, do make sure that these are completely dry before you store them.

Don't be one of those people who just leaves your lotion

bar on the side of a sink in a pool of water.

You know who you are.

As good as these lotion bars are, I still think we can do more with the bar form.

So let's take this even further.

Now after two recipes, you're probably thinking, how much better can lotion bars get?

A lot.

100

A lot better.

101

For these hair and skin conditioner bars, that's right, we're making conditioner, we're retiring the shea and cocoa butter.

102

This is all about the delectable mango butter.

103

It has the softest texture of all three butters.

104

It's non -greasy and crumbles under the slightest pressure.

105

We'll also need 70 grams of BTMS.

106

BTMS is a conditioning emulsifying wax that helps with slip and gives these bars that silky feeling on the hair.

107

I'm using BTMS 50 but you can also use BTMS 25.

108

Next up we'll need 36 grams of a fatty alcohol that will help stabilize the bars and thicken it.

109

This, combined with 6 grams of steric acid, these white powdery flakes you see here, replaces the wax that we used in the previous recipes,

110

as we don't want anything that will cause buildup or is hard to remove from our hair.

111

Now let's get on to the real star of these conditioning bars, avocado oil.

112

But this isn't just any avocado oil, I'm using ultra -rich, unrefined, organic avocado oil.

113

Look at the colour on this oil, you can almost see the nutrients.

114

Like before, place this on a low heat until melted.

115

Unlike with basic lotion bars, this conditioner bar provides moisture to your hair without weighing it down or leaving it greasy.

116

The choice of butter, oil, BTMS, settled alcohol and steric acid are key to getting the right texture, so don't skip them.

117

Now there are a couple secret ingredients to take these conditioner bars to the ultimate level.

118

Cationic guagam is a natural thickener, similar to xanthum gum, but it's anti -static and perfect for reducing frizz and defining coils.

119

Panphenol powder is vitamin B5 that boosts your hair's moisture levels.

120

I normally use this in liquid form in case you're a little bit confused, but in bars the powder works best.

121

In a separate bowl, combine the guagam and panphenol with 14 grams of vegetable glycerin.

122

It might take a minute, but eventually you'll get a smooth paste that you can pour into your still liquid but off the heat conditioner base.

123

Whisk to ensure that all the powders are fully incorporated.

124

When the conditioner base has cooled a little, it can be warm but definitely not hot.

125

We'll add in our preservative and antioxidant.

126

Here I'm using Optifan again and Vitamin E oil.

127

This should protect the bars from moulding or turning rancid for a minimum of 3 months.

128

But again, check holalease .com for more information.

129

A totally optional and yet highly recommended step is to add some essential oils for fragrance.

130

These can also double up as herbal treatments, such as using lavender and tea tree oil, which can help with dandruff and hair retention.

131

Now, if you want multiple use bars, use a larger mold to set your conditioner.

132

I got about two and a half bars out of this recipe.

133

Refrigerate overnight and voila, you have just made the ultimate conditioner bar.

134

Congratulations.

135

You know the funny thing?

136

I have been to places that have shampoo and no conditioner.

137

You know who you are.

138

And yet, I can't think of a single scenario where I would wash my hair without conditioner.

139

So this little conditioning bar is so convenient.

140

Pop one in your gym bag or travel bag

141

or just wherever there's some doubt that your destination will have the right amenities.

142

And the best part is, you can actually use this as a regular lotion bar.

143

It is truly an all -in -one hair and skincare lotion bar.

144

I don't I don't know if you guys can tell but I'm actually really impressed with this one.

145

It's just such a great conditioner in its own right.

146

You've got that buttery smooth and silky BTMS that will condition your hair

147

but then we also have the natural oils and butters

148

which helps with moisture and then finally to top all of

149

that off we have the vitamin b5 and guar gum and that really helps with anti -frizz as well as hydration.

150

I've shown you how to make body butter bars, real lotion bars, as well as conditioner bars.

151

From beginner all the way to pro.

152

All within one video.

153

That is just way too much goodness for one tutorial.
