Mixing Recommendations
Follow these steps for consistent results
Melt the base
This base is solid at room temperature but melts on contact with the skin, so it must be melted before adding fragrance or color. Small amounts can be carefully heated in a microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between to avoid hotspots.
Add fragrance and additives
Once melted and cooled below the flash point of your fragrance, add it along with any additives. Mix in slowly until fully incorporated and uniform.
Melt larger batches slowly
Larger quantities are best melted using a double boiler over low heat. It takes longer, but yields more consistent results — even, slow melting and cooling keeps the base silky smooth once poured into jars or molds.

Shelf Life
This product has a shelf life of 1 year from the date of manufacture when stored properly.
Store in a Cool, Dry Place
Keep containers at 60–80 °F (15–27 °C), away from direct sunlight and heat sources. This base is designed to melt on skin contact, so it will also soften in extreme heat — keep it out of hot vehicles, direct sun, or high-heat shipping conditions.
Keep Containers Sealed
Always replace lids and caps tightly after each use. Exposure to air can introduce contaminants and accelerate degradation.
Use Clean Tools
When scooping or transferring product, use clean utensils to prevent cross-contamination. Avoid reaching in with bare hands.

I would love for my lotion bar to shimmer. Could a small amount of shimmer mica be added? -
Mica or glitter can be added to the Lotion Bar to create a shimmer effect. You will need to continuously stir the shimmer in as the base is cooling to ensure it does not sink to the bottom.

Thank you Cindy. I live in Louisiana and we have extreme heat. I’ve been trying to make body balms for about 2 years! They always melt before it make it to my customers. -
Hi Tametria, the Lotion Bar is meant to melt on body contact, so it makes sense that it would become soft in extreme heat as well. One suggestion would be to add more beeswax to try to make the base firmer. Hope this helps!

Does the balm melt in heat? -
Hi Tametria, the Lotion Bar is similar to a lip balm in that it will melt with extreme heat or body heat. Thank you

How much fragrance do you add to a 2 oz twist tube? Thanks -
Hi John, our recommendation is 1% fragrance in the Lotion Bar. For reference, 1% = roughly 7 drops per ounce. Hope this helps!

Good Morning! Will this base solidify enough that it can be used in silicone molds?
Thank you!-
Hello Sheila, yes the lotion bar base solidifies completely, but melts easily with skin contact. It is a little firmer than a standard lip balm.
I hope this is helpful,Thank you!!!

What are the best additives or ingredients to add for a natural deodorant bar? -
Hi Sabrina, thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately we are not an OTC laboratory so we do not make deodorant. If you find a formula, chances are we may have some of the raw materials you need to create one! Thank you
