Four botanical oils — argan, rosehip, pumpkin seed, and raspberry seed — each bring their own well-regarded profiles to a formula that is quietly thoughtful from start to finish. Arrowroot powder keeps the finish dry and comfortable. No fragrance, no colorant, no animal-derived ingredients.

Botanist's Lotion Bar

Not everyone wants tallow or beeswax in their skin care. Botanist's Lotion Bar is built for them.

This is a fully plant-derived lotion bar — no tallow, no beeswax, no animal-derived ingredients of any kind. The base is cocoa butter and kokum butter, two hard plant butters that give the bar its solid structure at room temperature and melt smoothly and cleanly when warmed between the palms. Cocoa butter brings its naturally mild warmth to the formula — a subtle, pleasant quality that comes from the fat itself. Kokum butter is harder and more neutral, contributing a firm, non-greasy character that keeps the finish comfortable rather than heavy.

Four botanical oils complete the formula. Argan oil, cold-pressed from the kernels of the Moroccan argan tree, is lightweight and stable with a well-earned reputation in natural skin care. Rosehip oil is naturally rich in beneficial compounds and contributes a skin-friendly profile that suits everyday use. Pumpkin seed oil is a less commonly seen but genuinely interesting ingredient — rich in naturally occurring antioxidants and known for its nourishing profile. Raspberry seed oil rounds out the botanical blend with its naturally rich fatty acid composition.

Arrowroot powder is added as a finishing ingredient — a fine, silky powder that absorbs excess slip from the oils and leaves the skin feeling dry and comfortable rather than coated.

No fragrance, no colorant, no filler. Just a well-considered collection of plant-based ingredients in a solid bar that earns its keep. Packaged in a reusable aluminum tin.

Purely Crafted Lotion Bars

Warm the Bar – Warm the bar in your hands until it starts to melt.

Glide – Glide over your skin anywhere you need extra moisture.

Facial Pearl – This moisturizer is made of butters that melt immediately on contact with the skin. We recommend handling it lightly with fingers or using a piece of muslin or small towel to keep it from melting on your hands.

Sunscreen Protection – Use anywhere you need protection from the sun.

Insect Repellent – Use anywhere you need protection from biting insects.

Keep it Happy! – Keep your lotion bars out of direct sun or high heat. They will get soft and possibly melt over 95°F.

💡 Bonus Tip: If you are using a tallow lotion bar, moisten your skin, then glide the bar. The tallow will seal in the moisture. Tallow, itself, does not moisturize, only seals in moisture.

Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. For external use only.

• Naked & Natural: No parabens, no sulfates, no phthalates, no silicone, no artificial nonsense—just pure, skin-loving goodness.

• Ingredients: We’re always working to bring you the best, so ingredient lists may evolve! For the most up-to-date details, check the product packaging. See these links for detailed information on the ingredients we use: Oils, Butters & Lye; Additives; Essential Oils & Fragrances; Colorants.

• Sensitivities: While our lotion bars are crafted with care, discontinue use if irritation occurs.

• Lotion Bar Properties: Due to labeling guidelines, we can’t make specific claims about the nourishing properties of our ingredients. However, we encourage you to explore the benefits of each ingredient and discover what works best for your skin!

• Fading: Natural colorants and essential oils are beautifully delicate—unlike synthetic dyes and fragrances, they tend to fade over time. That gentle fading is your proof it’s truly natural!

• Lotion Bar Texture: Your lotion bar should come to you as a solid smooth form. However, tallow has a lower melting point than most plant butters and therefore can easily be softened to the point that it may separate slightly from the other oils in the recipe. This may cause our bars to feel a little grainy. There is nothing wrong with the bar other than the texture. If you would like to remelt your lotion bar so it gets back to it's smooth texture, please follow the instructions below in the FAQs section.

• Variations: Natural variations of color, design and shape occur with all handmade products.

Orders typically ship within 1–3 business days after your order is placed.

Lotion Bar FAQs

It all depends on how often you use your lotion bar. It will last longer if you keep it from melting.

Yes, we use only the best butters, tallow, oils and essential oils that your skin loves. We research and use butters and oils that have positive effects on our skin.

Yes. But if you if you have sensitive skin, make sure to do a patch test just to be sure.

As an artist of handmade products, I can attest that we are not machines. We can't always do things exactly the same time, every time. This includes everything from the ingredient amounts to how full we fill the molds. You will know its handmade when every bar you see has its own personality, it's own look.

Whereas, commercial products are made by machines and are produced exactly the same way every time. There is definitely consistency, but no artistry in commercial products.

As someone who thanks God for the wonderful products that come from animals, I tend to create lotion bars that use animal fats. However, I also realize people don't think the same way as I do or who have allergic reactions to animal fats. I try to offer something for everyone. We do offer a vegan lotion bar. Although our sunscreen and insect repellent bars have beeswax, they do not have animal fats. You can check the ingredient list of any bar for things that might not work for you.

In addition, as a small handcrafter, none of my products are tested on animals.

As a handcrafter, we try to use a more sustainable way of packaging our product. Our lotion bars come in reusable tins. We do use plastic shrink wrap to seal our tins, but no other packaging contains plastic.

Our small facial pearls do come in a small plastic container. We will be transitioning them over to an aluminum tin when we find an appropriate substitute.

Sometimes trying new products, especially natural products that may work differently from commercial products, your body might start to detox and make change to your skin, hair, etc. Sometimes the change may be a negative one at first while your body adjusts to the new product. If this happens, don't immediately set aside the product. Your body may take a few days to a few weeks of use to work itself out and come to a balance.

However, if you are having an allergic reaction, discontinue use immediately and seek medical help, if needed. (Even natural ingredients have allergens that people can react with. Patch test first if you are worried about sensitives.)

If our product(s) just don't work for you after consistently using them for several weeks, or if you have an allergic reaction to one of our products, please contact us so we can discuss a refund or replacement of the item(s).

Yes! Law requires us to include the INCI name for our products that are considered cosmetics which is anything other than soap. Soap is not considered a cosmetic, so we don't include usually the INCI ingredient list. Whether we are required to include the INCI list or not, we always include the common name list so the ingredients are easily recognizable. 

We want you to know how each ingredient affects the final product, if just out of curiosity or allergy-related. We've compiled lists of each ingredient and what they bring to the table. Check them out here: Butters & Oils, Additives (special oils, etc.), Scents (essential oils & fragrance oils), and Colorants (powders & clays). You will also find these links in our footer at the bottom of each page as well as in the drop-down menu. If you don't see a particular ingredient listed, let us know, and we will add it. You can also google the standard name or INCI name for a good snapshot of the ingredient and its uses.

Yes! If your lotion bar warmed up to a point where the tallow got a little grainy, follow the instructions below:

Step 1: Find a suitable mold for your lotion bar. The best kind is silicone, but a plastic mold would work as well. The shape doesn't matter unless you want to continue keeping your bar in the original tin. Some good sizes would include a muffin mold, silicone cupcake liner or chocolate mold. You could also use a small glass jar as a mold. Just make sure if using glass or plastic to wipe the inside with olive oil first so it releases easily.

Step 2: Cut up the lotion bar into small pieces.

Step 3: In a double boiler, warm the pieces until they are completely melted. Try not to let it get over 225°F.

Step 4: Pour the oil into your mold. Place the mold in the freezer for 30-60 minutes.

Step 5: Pop out the lotion bar and let sit at room temperature for a day or two before using.
