Lotion bars are typically made with natural ingredients that stay solid at room temperature, but melt a little from body heat, making it easy to apply the lotion bar as needed and store in a reusable container. Basically, lotion bars take the best of natural skin care — gentle, simple ingredients like shea butter and essential oils — and pack them into a small bar, rather than a large plastic bottle — this eliminates both the plastic waste from the bottle, and the excess water used in traditional lotion. Lotion bars pack in all the best moisturizing ingredients, concentrated without excess water or plastic waste.
