Muscle Warming & Post Exercise Massage Bars

This project is from our NEW BOOK: 

This bar is formulated for sore muscles, but if you prefer to make a relaxing moisturising solid bar switch to a suitable Essential Oil blend or your favourite fragrance oil instead.

Packaging: I like this in Wind Up Deodorant Tubes for mess-free application. However, Clamshell Moulds are also a good option as they are easily portable too.

NOTE:  Our Deo-Lotion Tubes are FILLED FROM THE BASE!

Makes 145g

Ingredients:

• 40g Candelilla Wax 
• 40g Cocoa Butter or Mango Butter (Cocoa Butter will be a little firmer)

Method:

• Place the Candelilla Wax, Cocoa Butter and Fractionated Coconut Oil into a Pyrex jug. 
• Heat in microwave until liquid – beware of overheating. 
• Remove from the microwave and check temperature – when the temperature has dropped to around 50 - 55°C add the infused oil and stir to combine.
• Now add the Essential Oils and stir again.
• Carefully remove the bases of the Deo Tubes, and invert the tubes so that they are sitting on their lids
• Now pour into tubes or moulds and allow to set up completely before turning the tubes over.

 If using the trolley:  There are no Essential Oils in the trolley items - these need to be purchased separately.
