Economical Eco-friendly Lotion Bars

If you are looking for the most natural, most eco-friendly lotion, look no further than lotion bars. Bigger and better, with the best high-end oils including Sea Buckthorn and Mango Butter.

Make this product super convenient and moisturizing by using it in the shower! This is the easiest, most economical, and environmentally sound way to seal in moisture and protect your skin. Or put the bar under warm water and slide it along your skin to protect and moisturize. Minimal packaging and lack of plastic pumps and bottles make this the most economical, eco-friendly choice!

Lotion Bars have Reduced Packaging and so Environmentally Friendly

Reduce Packaging with this convenient lotion bar. You can also order it in a reusable tin. All my lotion bars are lightly scented (except for the unscented one). Discerning noses will also be able to smell the scent of food-grade cocoa butter. It completely moisturizes quickly and conveniently.

This 3 oz. plus bar lasts a long time because a little goes a long way.

No water means this lotion is very eco-friendly, environmentally safe, natural, and healthy because it needs no chemical emulsifiers, surfactants, or preservatives while still giving you all or more of the moisturizing and help you need to protect your skin from dry, cold winters or hot, sunny summers.

Traditional lotions contain from 60 to 80% water. That’s water that you can provide yourself without having to pay for it to be bottled, emulsified, preserved and shipped with your other beneficial lotion ingredients.

AND SO CONVENIENT!

I haven’t always put on lotion because I find it to be somewhat of a chore but not anymore. Now it is so easy and so much better for the environment with the low packaging and (nearly) chemical-free formula.

I do put in just a titch of Cyclomethicone – a very light silicone to help the bar slide on your skin rather than sticking. (Health Canada concluded that studies conducted with cyclomethicone conclude it is safe for humans and has low to no risk for environmental concern).

DESCRIPTION OF INGREDIENTS

COCOA BUTTER

Protective and moisture-sealing, cocoa butter also contains cocoa polyphenols which benefit skin tone and elasticity. This is unrefined so maintains its top potential and a cocoa scent.

BEESWAX

Natural, unrefined beeswax is the superhero of skin protection, preventing irritation and encouraging healing far better than other oils or manmade waxes

BLACK CURRANT OIL

Rich in Omega-6 essential fatty acid GLA (gamma-linolenic acid C18:3n-6) and is also a good source of ALA (alpha-linolenic acid C18:3n-3) an Omega-3 essential fatty acid.

CASTOR OIL

This wonderful emollient also contains ricinoleic acid which may explain why castor oil works to treat dermatitis and inflammation while providing antibacterial properties as well.

ORGANIC HEMP OIL

Hemp Seed oil is a rich and balanced source of omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids allowing it to alleviate skin dryness and prevent skin problems due to aging.

MANGO BUTTER

This highly emollient butter is wonderful at building a protective skin barrier and healing properties according to studies without negative side effects

JOJOBA OIL

This oil is very close our skin’s natural moisturizing oils.

ECO-SIL

Made from olive oil esters and olive oil unsaponifiables. These combined oils deliver emollience and skin-nourishing properties and prevent the normal tackiness of some lotion bars. Alternative to silicones. For more information see this PDF

FRANKINCENSE ESSENTIAL OIL

This has shown a promising beneficial impact on inflammation and skin healing. It also smells lovely.

AMYRIS (INDIAN SANDALWOOD) ESSENTIAL OIL

Traditionally used to improve skin tone, this lovely-smelling sandalwood-like essential oil also shows promise as an antioxidant.

FRAGRANCE

I do supplement the Essential Oils with a phthalate-free sandalwood fragrance, as true sandalwood is both endangered and very expensive.
