DIY Lotion Bars

[@Flutterbyby]

Love the way, the humour mixed in with helpful tips, for this diy. Really made my day. And love how there isn’t distracting music. ;-)

[@cbugstudio]

Thanks so much for the positive feedback! You're too kind!

[@bacnthaday4350]

I love her personality so real quirky and sweet great teacher.

[@kaitlynwood4441]

I never thought a lotion bar tutorial could be funny lol. Great job!

[@aasper318]

I had a great laugh! I loved the humor.

[@Carol-Bell]

I used the Shea butter-coconut oil-beeswax recipe for lip balm and poured it into lip balm containers. My friends and I loved it.

[@cbugstudio]

Ooh that sounds so lovely!

[@tinahuttner7280]

What essential oils are safe to use,mind you I have sensitive allergies to smells so i can only tolerate fruity and cinnamon ones.does it matter on what brand?

[@peiying8969]

hi, can i know is the ratio 1:1:1?

[@amberleitao4727]

Omg it’s like she’s my long lost sister... I’m so in love 😂😂😂 I don’t think I’ve laughed so hard because this is so true to how I craft it’s like organized chaos! And I’m totally on board with being a hippie dippy and knowing what’s in my products because the older I get the more angry I get at all the crap that’s being added to my long time skin care loves.

[@Roguey84]

I luv not needing to buy lotion, lip balm, hair moisturizer and hope its good for travel. I like using bars for skin care bc of the convenience and lack of plastic used. Fun vid!

[@lynnmorello7863]

You cook like my husband. 1 cup of this, adding about 2 and a half unmeasured. But it works out wonderfully well.

[@615venus]

This was so funny beginning to end. I can see some people trying to eat the mango lotion bar. I can't wait to make these.

[@cbugstudio]

Faith insists that they all look edible but I think we're legally obligated to tell you that while the ingredients are non-toxic, they are not for human consumption (lol)!

[@morpro4u]

@@cbugstudio you just took all the fun out of making them when they get to that point I'm now tainted lol

[@puggirl415]

For lips I add the remnants of my old lipstick. dig it out with a toothpick or the tip of a sharp knife. There is at least 1/4" of perfectly good lipstick inside the container after it's been used up as much as possible. It colors my lip balm slightly and uses up the expensive lipstick.

[@rp3741]

I think this is the best video I've ever watched in my whole entire life 🤣

[@kimw168]

I loved this video - the lotion bars look great and it was so much fun to watch!

[@cbugstudio]

We're so glad you enjoyed it!

[@ladysong]

You can reduce or eliminate the greasy feeling when applying a lotion bar by adding a bit of corn starch or arrowroot powder to your recipe. That will help your lotion sink into the skin faster too.

[@emilyadam2549]

Will the powder dissolve okay in the liquid oils though? I'm just picturing adding some and it clumping up

[@ladysong]

@@emilyadam2549 hi...just saw this response. No, you don't need to add much. I'm making 300 lotion bars now for a special order and I'm only adding half a teaspoonful of arrowroot to the oils and butters. My recipe calls for 4 oz beeswax, 3 oz light liquid oil (I'm using jojoba), 3 oz coconut oil and 3 oz Shea butter. Makes 12 small bars. Just blend well and pour

[@janinerosenke5463]

Love this. Thx so much. Love the clean body movement. Hope you’ll have more beauty projects on CB.

[@cbugstudio]

We're working on it! Thanks for the kind words!

[@kathybrennan1]

I just watched this video! You are hilarious! I have probably watched 100 soap/and body bar videos and you are by far the most entertaining!🤣 good info too!

[@Jaidzeka36]

She's literally comedic relief. 😆

[@mishko520]

I'm so glad I started following you!! I can't wait to try everything, you ladies are awesome!!

[@cbugstudio]

Thanks so much for the kind words Donna! We love what we do!

[@dianecasterline3755]

me too,This is the 1st one of yours I watched, bc it was lotion bars, now can't wait to see more! ...might make other things! Thanks

[@jeanhill5956]

First time watching you are hilarious hun glad to see someone that's not so serious xx

[@ellieprincess08]

I had to subscribe, great personality and humor!

[@LaSoulsVibe]

Omg!!! I just watched this entire thing with my kids. You are frickin’ hilarious‼️ 🗣Commit‼️ 🤣🤣🤣

[@orangemonkeylovetoes]

omg. I love you. GREAT video, and Faith, you are just flat out fantastic.

[@carolinelawrie7142]

How ghastly to have jostling champagne bottle issues in your fridge 🍾🍾🍾 love your recipe, I'm going to try it this avo 💗💗💗

[@Rodmic-hd9pn]

I just fell upon this video I loooove it

[@joyadams507]

I enjoyed this video so very much, your wit was refreshing! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@coachcando4950]

She’s so cute and funny lol

[@Joani161]

The beeswax takes longer to melt so I would add it first to melt

[@cbugstudio]

Smart idea Joan!

[@glammav14344]

Thank you for the video! Can I add zinc oxide to make it a natural sunblock lotion? What proportion? Can I use 1 tsp with your proportions? Thanks!

[@kaileytrott4753]

Can you use peppermint extract instead of essential oils

[@shazk1145]

i never understood why people measure using a cup when there are scales to be more accurate with these things!

[@ellieisbusy]

Metric people unite! :D

[@ladysong]

It depends on whether your ingredients need to be a specific weight or a specific volume. For example, in resin art, you need to mix the two parts of the resin in exactly the same volume. One of the liquids is heavier than the other. In soaping, it’s better to weigh the ingredients than to measure them by volume. Butters have different consistencies, so one may be light and fluffy while the other is denser than a mountainside Boulder. 😆

[@shazk1145]

Ohhhhh that makes sense. Thank you 😊

[@sugarkanesugaringspallcsug9879]

I KNOW RIGHT! I was thinking why is she wasting time to put in that cup and making such a mess.

[@morpro4u]

@@ladysong if you've made lotion bars before what ratios do you use for butters/oils/ wax? Im in the beginning stages of research lol tyia

[@biancac5626]

love this video, made me laugh. such a cool chick.

[@Jaidzeka36]

Could you put them in tins to use as eye makeup remover if I don't use any fragrance oils?

[@Ay-B]

Lovely video. And funny too! I was pressed for time, so I watched at 1.75x speed. Lol!

[@cbugstudio]

Thanks so much! And you are a brave soul for watching that at 1.75x - we'd imagine that'd be EXTRA wacky!

You are hilarious! I didn't know you few minutes ago but I already love you, love your energy 😁 And by the way it was propably too hot to pour the essential oils 😊 remember to check the temperature next time 😉

[@ellieisbusy]

"maybe you're a wild patchouli person" - YEP!

[@knitpurlsquirrelwithgrannydee]

Oh I have been wanting lotion bars!

[@cbugstudio]

They're as fun to make as they are lovely to use!

[@beautybybredice9352]

Can I substitute bees wax for Candelilla wax? Thank you for sharing

[@cbugstudio]

We haven't tried it ourselves but if you do use it, substitute half the amount since it's a bit denser. Alternatively, you could use the same amount but then add more oils like jojoba or even coconut oil. Let us know if you end up giving it a try!

[@dianecasterline3755]

good question, and good to know cand. wax is denser, jojoba is so good for skin/body, vit. rich. I'm no expert, but you probally made it by now.

[@ginascott6068]

You are crazy. But a lovely crazy . Thank you for sharing . Gina(England) x

[@dissodatore]

ok, if I have this right, it is 1 part beeswax to 2 parts(total) of butters??

[@joshpeterson5592]

Your so funny, great job.

[@DIYNaturalSkinCare]

Love the persona in this video. Such a cool girl.

[@maragrace820]

I am a beekeeper and I don’t trust pellet beeswax. Buy it from local beekeepers (they are everywhere) or in blocks.

[@mvpadea1]

is it ok to have it in a country with an average temperature of 32°C to 40°C?

[@kbw9246]

Do you have to put this in the refridgerator?

[@tinarobinson9050]

What’s the cost to make a silicone mold of the flower lotion bars? Has this cost been calculated?

[@eteran8909]

Can this be applied while showering? Similar to the lush shower lotion bars

[@lilycessna3077]

If you want to sell the bars, how is the best way to put a price on them?

[@cindyterrell6046]

How do you package to give as gifts?

[@maymelden]

😂.. beeswax and finger😆 sounds like me😉 I also taste my supplies🤣🤭

[@morpro4u]

Bible bath definition- grown adults that get into a tub of water only to realize they forgot to take their clothes off 😂

[@gailapayne6456]

Question what do u use to color the bar if a person wanted some color to it or make it more fun.......can u use like a food coloring to put into the liquid ...

[@cbugstudio]

Since this goes directly onto the skin and stays, we suggest using as little coloring as possible so it doesn't tint the skin!

[@gailapayne6456]

@@cbugstudio ok thank you 😊

[@tonidorsey9807]

Try using mica powder... A little goes a long way and it doesn't stain skin...

[@sloanisgoingcrazy1]

This mold is amazing- I tried searching Amazon with no luck. Can you post a link or more info?

[@cbugstudio]

Aren't they gorgeous?! Here are the ones we used: www.amazon.com/Assorted-Silicone-Handmade-Chocolate-Biscuit/dp/B06XGTLD13/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=soap+molds&qid=1551464498&s=gateway&sr=8-9

I found one for cheap on amazon...Silicone Bakeware Mold For cake, chocolate, Jelly, Pudding, Dessert Molds, 12 Holes With Flower, Heart Shape www.amazon.com/dp/B07466FCBB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_VKB7DbYS3MJKV....i cant wait to make these for xmas gifts...amazon also has cheap rose petals and essential oils...

[@kojacksgirl591]

How long do the lotion bars have to sit in the refrigerator?

[@cbugstudio]

Just a few hours will have them setting up nicely!

[@campusacademydr.marwaelsha286]

How much coconut oil?

[@jeniflowers618]

You are so funny. I just love you

[@jinsunlee6379]

what is the receipe?

[@farrahlunceford9829]

One time I ran out of veggie oil so i cook with Shea butter it wasn't that bad

[@juneberry4456]

Is there a vegan substitute for the beeswax?

[@cbugstudio]

Good question June! We've only tried this version but found a recipe that uses 2 tablespoon cocoa butter, 1 tablespoon shea butter and 1 teaspoon safflower oil that look like it'd make a nice bar. Or, you can use candelilla wax for a one to one substitute. Let us know what you end up going with!

[@sugarkanesugaringspallcsug9879]

Where did you purchase your molds?

[@allanahevans5266]

You are hilarious 🤣

[@flee2321]

I live in Florida. Will these hold up to around 85 degrees Fahrenheit.

[@cbugstudio]

You'll want to be sure to keep them separately in their own tin and they'll be a tiny bit sticky to the touch but they should work just fine! Good question!

[@sugarkanesugaringspallcsug9879]

Anyone know the recipe?

[@kelly-ellie3543]

Patchouli person!! 👋

[@OfficialLadyDarkSky]

well darnit i was hoping it tasted like sugar cookie dough, i did find out real cocoa butter tastes like chocolate Oh MY!

[@babyst0423]

Bible bath!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@datbat1]

Hilarious/helpful.

[@broken_thelogic]

For a second I thought your hair was steaming which was concerning

[@cbugstudio]

It wouldn't have been the first time with Ms. Faith!

[@simp1eone]

nOTHING should be called a LOTION if it doesnt have water - This is a Body BUtter not Lotion Bar

[@blueted7970]

❤💗💗💗

[@PinkLemonade2020]

Myrrh smells like very sweaty socks!! Love Frankincense, though

[@cbugstudio]

The office is very divided on frankincense: half love it, half could do without (but you're right about the myrrh)!
