What’s a Solid Lotion?

This fantastic lotion comes in a bar form that looks like soap but works like a moisturizer. Its unique formula contains high amounts of natural butter and oils full of vitamins and antioxidants.

What’s in This Solid Lotion Bar?

Almond Oil

When it comes to achieving healthy, glowing skin, there’s no doubt that hydration is vital. That’s why we love incorporating Almond Oil into our solid lotion bars! Not only does it deeply moisturize, but its high vitamin E content helps to nourish and protect skin from damaging free radicals. Almond oil is easily absorbed and won’t leave any greasy residue, making it a perfect choice for those who hate feeling sticky after moisturizing.

Beeswax

Beeswax, an incredible ingredient in solid lotion bars, is known for its impressive skin benefits. Not only does it moisturize the skin, but it also has properties that can promote healing. Beeswax locks in the skin’s natural moisture while still allowing the skin to breathe. The beeswax also helps create the solid consistency of the lotion.

Cornstarch

Cornstarch provides a silky texture to the lotion and help it to glide smoothly over your skin. It also helps to absorb excess moisture and protect against irritation.

Unicorn Essential Oil Blend

Unicorn Essential Oil Blend provides a delightful citrusy and floral aroma that will transport you to a magical world. This blend smells amazing and has calming and uplifting properties, making it the perfect addition to your self-care routine.

Energy Essential Oil Blend

Energy Essential Oil Blend is a must-have for those who need an extra energy boost throughout the day. This blend of essential oils is specifically formulated to invigorate the senses and promote alertness, helping you easily power through your day. Whether pulling an all-nighter to meet a deadline, heading into a long day of work, or needing a little pick-me-up, Energy Essential Oil Blend can help you stay focused.

Lemongrass Essential Oil

Looking for a natural way to detox and deodorize your skin? Look no further than Healing Hands Solid Lotion Bar! Infused with Lemongrass Essential Oil, this luxurious bar smells divine and provides powerful benefits. Lemongrass oil is known for its deodorizing properties, making it an excellent choice to freshen up after a long day. It also works as a detoxifier, helping to rid your skin of impurities and pollutants.
