Lush Massage Bar Recipe
3 oz Shea Butter
2 oz Cocoa Butter
½ - 1 oz of the following:
Ground Adzuki beans
Ground rice
Ground almonds
10-20 drops of essential oils (this just depends on your preference)
Mix together the Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter over LOW heat on the
stove or in the microwave (using 10-15 second bursts) until blended
completely. If you haven’t already ground
your almonds, beans and rice you should do so now (Note: when blending, grind the
pieces to the size of YOUR preference).
After they are ground you will add the exfoliates to your butter mixture and stir in
well.
Next, add in your essential oils of
choice. In order to help the ground exfoliates
stay in the middle of the mixture (as opposed to sinking to the bottom) you now
need to put the entire mixture into the freezer. Leave it in until the mixture turns an opaque
color but do not leave it in too long or it will set entirely! Remove from freezer and stir well so your ground elements are well mixed in. Next spoon mixture into your molds making
sure to bang them gently on the counter as you fill them to ensure all the air
bubbles come out. Last place the molds into the refrigerator until the bars have set, pop out of molds and enjoy!

Where did you get your butters and how much where they? Thank you! :)
How do you use a massage bar? Thanks.
This has just made my day! Thank you for putting this up!
Thank you for this. I am curious to know what you would have done differently...
Wow, I am really bad at responding to comments!!! So sorry! I got all my ingredients at the local health food store or Hobby Lobby!
I use the bars when getting a massage from the hubby, on dry feet at night (then cover with socks, or as lotion after the shower.
I would have used slightly less coco butter, they melted quickly. Also, I wouldn't cut up the ingredients once the bar melted they were scratchy!
Cute soap made for the starting LOVE IT!
I found my ingredients on Amazon for less money than in the stores. I purchased this product at Lush and use mine in the shower to exfoliate with. Thank you for posting this as I will be making my own from now on.
I am planning on making this at my daughter's 13th Birthday Party, we are having a girl's night & are going to make our own scrubs,lip gloss & other similar DIY's for her party in December. Right now she is still making up her mind on the other beauty & craft ideas she has in mind. I was wondering what kind of essential oils are there brands you prefer,that Stephanie Dreiling or anyone else who has made this can reccomend & let me know where I can buy them? I want to start buying the supplies ASAP in case I can't find what I need for the ones she wants to make so I can get what I need for another of her back up picks. Also what do you think of adding oatmeal in place of the cut up ingredients as well as sugar or salt like the different kinds that are added to scrubs?
