COMMENTS: I had used this to make lotion bars in dial up tubes. I had used the amount that was called for in the recipe and the lotion bar was firm and pulled a little on the skin. I will be decreasing the amount by 5% to see if I can achieve a different result. I'm looking to get more of a silkier glide on the skin without having the lotion melt in the tube on warmer days. I also noticed my lotion bars seem a little tacky when applied to the skin but it does go away after a short period of time.

"Like Silk"
COMMENTS: I love using this product in my lotions and body butters. It does a great job and adds a great feel to the end product. I will definitely purchase this again.
COMMENTS: My husband is military & works a high-stress job. I'm always looking for ways to help him relax when he's home, and he's been enjoying solid lotion bars I've been making to use as massage bars. Previously, I'd been using beeswax in my recipe, but when I saw this Smooth & Creamy Lotion Bar Additive, I decided to give it a try. WOW! It gives EXCELLENT results! I find the lotion/massage bars melt more smoothly with contact on the skin, and glide across the skin a little more smoothly as well! Gives a wonderfully creamy feel, making application feel as smooth as butter, and absorbs very nicely into the skin too, leaving a very pleasant, moisturized feel! Was so impressed with the massage bars I made for my husband with this that I started using a bar myself as a lotion bar when I get out of the shower. I apply in the morning, and my skin has felt soft & hydrated ALL day long! I still enjoy using traditional beeswax too & will continue to do so, but I'm really loving the results I've gotten with this product also! I find the bars melt a bit easier with the heat of skin contact, making for an A+ solid massage bar that feels silky-smooth! Highly recommend!

"The holy Grail!"
COMMENTS: Every once in a while you come across a product that really helps with a problem you've been having. You know, graininess! We all experience it and don't want it. This in my opinion, is the holy Grail to butters! I added this to some terribly grainy lotion bars I couldn't bear too throw away (but I knew were destined for the trash) and Walla fixed!! Gave my mom one as a present. ?? I won't use a butter without it!

"Just What I Needed For Lotion Bars"
COMMENTS: I have been making lotion bars which are a combo fibromyalgia and cellulite mix of essential oils. They have worked great, but I have had some issues with getting the mixture just right so that the bars are smooth, creamy, and go on nicely. The bars were still great, but I wanted them just a touch more creamy.
I tried this additive for the first time yesterday and am THRILLED with the results. It is the perfect way to round out the recipe. At last, my bars are perfect. I will be buying this regularly from now on.
I simply substitute a little bit of this for beeswax in the recipe and I am good to go!
