What’s in This Massage Bar Recipe?
Almond Oil
Almond oil is a commonly used ingredient in massage bars. It is known for its ability to deeply penetrate the skin and provide lasting hydration. When used in a massage bar recipe, almond oil helps to create a long-lasting and nourishing product.
Coconut Oil (Solid)
Coconut oil helps the recipe remain solid at room temperature. When it comes into contact with your skin, it melts, providing a luxurious and moisturizing experience.
Beeswax
The beeswax beeswax in this recipe helps to create the solid consistency of this massage bar. It also has nourishing properties and helps to seal in moisture and protect the skin from environmental damage. As a result, your skin will be left feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated.
