When making our DIY bath and beauty products, we like to use Rocky Mountain Oils because they have such a great selection of single oils as well as essential oil blends. We also love this mica powder for any of our projects that require color and this sweet almond oil anytime a carrier oil is called for in a recipe.
There are a lot of common questions when it comes to making lotion bars yourself, so I have helped to answer a few below.

Can you add color to lotion bars?
Yes, you can add color to lotion bars. I try not to add dark colors, or too much color though, as you don’t want the lotion bar to stain your skin.
How long do lotion bars last?
That really depends on the size of the bar. These lotion bars are a bit on the small side, but I like them because they fit nicely into the palm of your hand for application. This particular lotion bar will last about a week or so if using it on your hands daily.
