I do also use a lotion bar, especially on my heels. It contains cocoa butter, beeswax and coconut oil.
If you are inclined to make such a thing it is simply the following:
- 4 ounces beeswax
- 4 ounces coconut oil
- 6 ounces cocoa butter
You can add a teaspoon of peppermint essential oil and it will smell like a peppermint patty. :)
I melt the beeswax and coconut oil in a double boiler. Then gently melt in the cocoa butter. Add the peppermint oil once you remove it from the heat. You can pour it into soap molds.
You hold lotion bar in your hand and it melts a little off. It can also be placed in lip balm tubes to make a lip balm instead.
Enjoy!

Thanks for posting this remedy. I too, have tried every cream, lotion etc. I have had super dry skin since I was a teen. Other kids battled with zits and envied me - my skin was clear and beautiful. But I told them that while it looked great, it was not so great to be wearing this tight mask of skin over my face. Since menopause, it is even drier and tighter and skin creams that I have used before no longer work for more than about 1/2 an hour. I tried the glycerin last night, full strength. This a.m. my skin feels a LOT better than usual. What a relief! Thanks again. :)
