Cocoa & Hazelnut Lotion Bar

Yield: 4 Bars  |  Est. Time: 1 Hour  |  Level: Easy
About This Recipe:
This winter lotion bar is great as a moisturizer for face or body especially in the cold regions of Canada. Cocoa Butter is an approved barrier ingredient perfect for winter conditions and the Pumpkin Seed Oil offers linoleic fatty acid to help soothe dry, cracked skin. We thought the Milky Way One Leaf Soap Mold along with Radiant Red Maple Fragrance would be perfect to complement this lotion bar for our friends up north.
