Wendy, are you talking about just using the paper cupcake/muffin liners? I’m thinking that’s the same as the candy and nut cups?

Love this recipe! I used a pyrex dish in the microwave to melt the ingredients together, which worked great. For gift giving, I’ve been using paper “candy and nut” cup for a mold that can go with the bars. They are greeted with rave reviews. Thank you for posting this recipe!

okay, that makes sense, thanks.. do you use special molds.. are a certain type required.. I have some candle molds I’ve never used… do you think that would work?

Hi Tina–Thank you! Here’s one method: Once you find out the capacity of your molds, multiply that amount by how many bars you want. Then divide that amount by 3 to see how much of each of the 3 major ingredients you will need. Happy lotion bar making!

These are really neat! I linked to them on my weekly roundup (post is under my name). One of the my “little luxuries” is yummy smelling lotion, so I like the idea of playing around a bit with scents. Thanks for sharing!!

Johanna–Absolutely. Olive or canola would be just great.

Could you use olive oil or canola oil? What kind of olive oil? Vegetable oil is either corn or soy. Corn, when ingested, gives me a horrible headache. Due to a reaction to soy and health concerns my OBGYN doesn’t want me eating or even putting anything with soy in it on my body.
