Body melts or lotion bars are among the cutest and easiest to make skin care product that are amazing as a giveaways, gifts, seasonal products or all year-around products.
They are quite IN at the moment because:
1- They are water-free (you don't sell/buy transport water which is a scarce resource)
2- You don't need to go through the hassle of pH measurement and preserving and challenge testing
3- They are absolutely waste free and are consumed to the latest microgram
4- You don't need any plastic packaging for them. Cute treat bags and boxes or reusable jars and glasses are used to pack and wrap them.
For today we have prepared some cute body melts that are perfect gifts or commercial products for the season but feel free to use other molds or change the color for other occasions.
