Lately I've been seeing Shea Butter and Beeswax bars in health food stores and high-end boutiques. These things are wonderful and also quite easy to make. The importance of choosing quality essential oils is key - these are put directly onto your skin and absorbed in seconds - they can be so wonderfully healthful and should be selected from a quality supplier. Some of my favorites include lavender, bergamot, ylang ylang, orange, balsam fir, and blends like Believe, Abundance, and Joy from Young Living.

Here's a recipe for my favorite homemade heavenly moisturizing bars. Once I make a batch of these, I add a few drops of essential oil before using and rub on my feet, hands, body. If you're not up for the homemade variety, just add a few drops of your favorite essential oils to any basic shea-based moisturizing bar and enjoy!
