You could use coconut oil instead of the almond oil, Donita. That would help with the suntan oil scent. Also if you’re using a raw, organic cocoa butter, you want it filtered so it doesn’t smell so chocolate unless that’s the scent you’re going for. Just speaking from experience. I also find that grapeseed oil works well.

Donita, for healing, I suggest a mixture of frankincense and lavender oils. But I have no idea how you’d get suntan oil scent.

I battle dry skin every day that is so bad I have scratching fits almost to the point of actual scratches on my legs, arms and hands! It’s horrible!
I would like to make a healing lotion that I can use throughout the day…I would also like for it to smell exactly like suntan oil…any suggestions?! Please help and thank you very much in advance!

Thank you so much! I just eyeballed it last night. I am happy with the results but they are a little greasy. Also, for some reason the fragrance of the essential oils did not come through, probably because I used to much of each. I did like 3/4 of cup of shea butter and 1/2 cup of bees wax.

Melinda, I updated my recipe: I can’t believe no one asked before. I used 1/3 cup of each.

How much of each ingredient? Shea butter, bees wax, and oil. I see how much essential oil. Thank you! Anxious to try. Need something gluten free and this is perfect.

I’m sorry: I have a feeling it will stick. But there are so many silicone molds that are very pretty!!! I’ll see if I can create a printable version over the weekend.

If I poured this in a metal mold and put in freezer for a bit, do you think they would pop out, Or stick? I have a tea cake pan that would make lovely bars but worried about them getting stuck in there. Also, is there a way to get a printable version of this recipe? I’m trying to make a notebook.

Joanne, you could use chlorophyll for green, cocoa powder for brown, beetroot powder for pink, etc. Just be aware that some of them might make it a bit more grainier than normal. Some people also use food coloring.

What would you use to add Color? Haven’t had good luck with food coloring.
