A friend of mine bought a large amount of mango butter but was quite confused,  on what she wanted to do with it. That got me thinking and I remembered a lotion bar recipe I got from bodyunburdened. I used it to make some bars of soap for her and she absolutely loved it. 

Here is what I did and used. I was excited when making mine and I loved the result. This recipe is for people with dry or normal skin. People with sensitive or oily skin can used any desired essential oil that suits their skin. 

     Ingredients

  • Half cup coconut oil
  • Half cup mango butter
  • ½ cup beeswax pastilles
  • 1 teaspoon of any essential oils of choice.  I used turmeric oil, lemon oil,argan oil, vitamin e and grapeseed oil. 
 Melt the beeswax in a bowl. 
Put the bowl in a small pot with  three or four cups of boiling water. 
Once the wax is melted, add your mango butter. After the butter is melted, add the coconut oil. 
When everything has melted, remove from the heat and add the essential oils. 
Mix and then pour the melted mixture into plastic cups of desired shapes. 
Let it cool for up to an hour so as to enable it solidify.
You can put in a fridge,  if you want it to solidify faster.
