Lotion Bar

What is a lotion bar ?
A lotion bar, compared to your average lotion, is a solid moisturizer. It resembles a soap bar with the function of a lotion. Made out of natural ingredients, these bars stay solid when kept at room temperature or lower. The body heat will activate the lotion bar and it can be used anywhere on the body and even in massages.

My lotion bars are made of ingredients from nature like unrefined shea butter, raw cocoa butter, mango butter, beeswax, jojoba oil, almond oil, coconut oil, and other skinloving ingredients. They are definitely free from harsh chemicals usually found in commercial cosmetics like SLS, BHT, phthalates, parabens, alcohol, petroleum or mineral oil, and of course they are cruelty-free.

How to use lotion bars:
After shower or taking a bath and drying yourself with a towel, just glide the bar on your skin or rub on the parts where you think needs moisturising. These bars will then melt as the heat of your body comes in contact as as a result of rubbing. It is recommended to apply light layers. At the beginning it may feel a bit greasy but just wait a few moments until all of that skinloving oils and butters are absorbed. Once it has successfully penetrated the skin, you will know whether you will need to apply a second layer or not. Cracked heels or other tough areas may need a second layer especially in our dry season right now in Bandung. What I personally like to do is to apply it after evening shower, then I would wake up to a softer and smoother skin in this blistering hot and dry time of the year.
