Cold & Flu Lotion Bar
1 part Beeswax
1 part Cocoa Butter
1 part Coconut Oil
1/2 tsp of Vicks Vapour Rub
Lotion Bar's are a soap like bar that is a compressed moisturising lotion, which is rubbed directly onto the skin without water.
If you can not obtain coconut oil, then substitute it with apricot or other massage base oils.
Start by melting the ingredients together using a double boiler method. Once all the ingredients are melted, add the vapour rub and stir through.
Pour the mix into suitable molds. Soap molds that are square and basic are great for these lotion bars as they are easy to hold on to.
*Coconut oil can be found at good health food stores.

I really like this, but isn't beeswax expensive?
a part just means equal amounts, it just depends how much you want to make
You can easily get cocoa butter from any drug store. Its with all the lotions. Usually for stretch marks and dry skin
I was asked once but I don't see the answer how much is a part? A cup? a half cup? Anybody?
where do you get beeswax and cocoa butter? Especially the cocoa butter . . . I have looked all over town.
I have a cold at the moment and would like to try this, but where do u get the beeswax, cocoa butter and coconut oil from?
kool idea! but what does 'part' mean??
I love this and have made several to give at Christmas this year! Thank you!!
I love it so much especially that now I have the flu.
great thing for someone who isnt feeling good!
your website is the best!!!!
Really Cool idea!
I love it! Incredible!
I would think it could make the vicks work the same or better, the scent (menthol) is the main active thing in Vick's, as long as you're enhancing or not reducing the scent too much, it should work just as well, if not better.
Sounds good, but wouldn't the other ingredients just dilute (and reduce the effectiveness) of the Vick's?
Very Good Idea!!!
