DIY Lotion Dots – Solid Moisturising Body Melts

Sanitise all utensils, silicone moulds and work surfaces with 70% alcohol and allow them to dry completely.

Add the Shea Butter, Fractionated Coconut Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Beeswax or Candelilla Wax and Emulsifying Wax NF to a heat-safe beaker or bowl.

Place over a double boiler on low heat and gently melt until the ingredients are completely combined.

Remove from the heat and stir gently until the mixture is clear and smooth.

Allow the mixture to cool slightly for approximately 1–2 minutes.

Add the Vitamin E Oil and Fragrance Oil or Essential Oil and stir well.

If using Arrowroot Powder or Cornstarch, add it gradually and mix thoroughly until evenly dispersed.

Carefully pour the mixture into a silicone mould using a small pouring jug or pipette.

Leave the lotion dots to cool completely at room temperature until firm.

For faster setting, place the mould in the refrigerator for approximately 15–20 minutes.

Gently remove the lotion dots from the mould and transfer them to an airtight container.
