Buy vs. DIY

Lotion bars like these can cost you $5 or more at bath boutiques, whereas all the ingredients in this recipe will run you about $2 per lotion bar.

Make It Your Own

One benefit of creating bath products yourself is that you can customize them to fit your own preferences that might not otherwise be found in store-bought products.

Here are a few options to consider if you’re looking to take your lotion bars to the next level:

Get Essential

The base lotion bar mix allows for endless opportunities as far as scent properties are concerned. When the mix is still melted, feel free to customize your essential oil blend to suit your taste or purpose — from improving your skin to reducing stress, essential oils can produce a number of different benefits.

Turn Up the Glitz

If you’re looking to add a little sparkle to your vibe, toss in a handful of glitter to your moisturizer and let your skin glimmer.

Add a Pinch of Petals

Want to get in touch with nature? Add some dried flowers or petals to your ice cube mold for a pop of color and some extra oomph.
