Body bars and lip balms share essentially the same ingredients. Check out the ingredients list on both and compare. They’re just packaged differently. In the winter, I prefer to use a body stick since it’s convenient to apply especially when you’re using it frequently. Besides, my lotion is cold. Here’s a simple recipe for an unscented body bar, perfect for winter dry skin relief.

Ingredients by weight for a 2 oz bar:
• 0.5 oz beeswax
• 1 oz coconut oil
• 0.5 oz almond oil
• 1/8 tsp vitamin E oil (optional)

Tools:
• Small, heatproof container. I like the stainless steel creamers with a spout
• Saucepan large enough to hold the container
• Lotion tubes. You can also you lip balm tubes.

Directions:
• Combine oil and beeswax in a heatproof container and melt the mixture in a hot water bath.
• Add the vitamin E oil just before or immediately after removing it from the stove.
• Work fast as the mixture will solidify quickly. If that happens, simply re-melt in the water bath.
• Pour into lotion tube.
