Handcrafted Soothing Lavender Solid Lotion Bar

Created as a solid, waterless lotion, this handcrafted lotion bar works like a lip balm for the body.

Cocoa butter is commonly used for body moisturization and softening rough skin patches. Beeswax is also used for locking in hydration. Jojoba oil is also commonly used for lightweight hydration. Argan oil also adds conditioning. Aloe extract also supports hydration. The bar carries lavender as scent notes.

Skin care engages touch at each step of a routine, and the step depends on the product. Cleansing products lift surface oils, debris, and bacteria from the skin (Aiello & Larson, 2002). Moisturizing products such as creams, lotions, and balms add emollients that soften the skin surface and help hold in hydration. Serums, masks, and treatments are applied to specific areas of the face, and the pressure of application adds to the sensation. Applying any of these products activates C‑tactile afferents, the nerve fibers that process pleasant touch (Löken et al., 2009; McGlone et al., 2014). Slow, massage‑like pressure is associated with reduced stress and relaxation (Field, 2010; Field, 2015), and warmth and absorption add to the sensation as the product meets the skin.

Anyone with a skin condition, allergies, or sensitivities should consult a physician or dermatologist before use.
