Why Lotion Sticks Are a Game-Changer for Dry Skin
(Especially On the Go)
I Always Keep a Lotion Stick in My Bag (and You Should Too)
Let’s face it - life gets busy.
Whether you’re running errands, keeping up with the kids or grandkids, traveling for work, or juggling everything from appointments to laundry, there’s rarely a perfect moment to stop and slather on lotion.
That’s exactly why I love lotion sticks.
They’re solid, mess-free, and fit perfectly into any purse, backpack, or even your pocket. If you haven’t tried one yet, let me show you why this little skincare tool might become your new favorite.

What’s a Lotion Stick, Anyway?
Think of a lotion stick like a lip balm - but for your whole body.
It's a solid bar of deeply nourishing ingredients... beeswax, shea butter, and coconut oil, all packed into a twist-up tube.
You simply glide it over dry skin, and it goes to work.
No greasy mess, no leaky bottles, no need to wash your hands afterward.
Our Beesilk Lotion Stick is one of our best-sellers for a reason—it’s simple, effective, and made with only a handful of ingredients you can actually pronounce.
Why Lotion Sticks Work So Well
Lotion sticks do more than just feel good going on.
Here’s why they’re so effective:
-
Targeted relief – Glide it over dry patches like elbows, knees, and heels—without overapplying.
-
Zero mess – No more lotion spills at the bottom of your purse or diaper bag.
-
Clean hands – You don't even need to touch the product to apply it.
-
No preservatives – Since they’re water-free, there’s no need for harsh chemicals to keep them shelf-stable.
-
They last – A little goes a long way, and because it’s solid, the product doesn’t disappear down the sink.
Great for All Skin Types
Whether your skin is dry, sensitive, oily, or somewhere in between, lotion sticks are a gentle option that just works. Here’s how:
-
Dry skin? Shea butter and beeswax help lock in moisture and restore the skin barrier.
-
Sensitive skin? No artificial fragrance or preservatives means fewer triggers for irritation.
-
Oily skin? Hydrating with natural oils like coconut can actually help balance oil production.




On-the-Go Moisturizing Made Simple
This is where lotion sticks really shine: they’re built for life on the move.
-
Traveling? TSA-approved and perfect for carry-ons.
-
Heading to the gym? Toss it in your bag - no leaking, no fuss.
-
Just need something for after washing dishes or hands all day? Keep one by the sink for quick touch-ups.
Personally, I keep one in my purse, one in the car, and one next to my bed.
How to Use a Lotion Stick
Easy as twist, swipe, done.
-
Twist up the stick about ½ inch.
-
Rub it directly on dry skin.
-
Let your skin soak in the goodness.
Pro tip: Apply after a shower or washing your hands, when your skin is still slightly damp. It helps lock in moisture even better.
Make It Your Own (For the DIY Crowd)
If you love customizing things, lotion sticks are super fun to make yourself. All you need are a few simple ingredients like beeswax, shea butter, and a nourishing oil. Try it with equal amounts of each of the 3 ingredients. Melt, stir, pour into a tube. That's it!
Want calming? Add a few drops of lavender.
Need a pick-me-up? Try a couple drops of sweet orange.
The options are endless - and you’ll know exactly what’s going on your skin.

What our Customers Say:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So amazing!
"I use my Bee Silk stick as both lotion for my hands and chap stick. I put it on my hands before bed and wake up with my hands feeling softer than the night before. I love it!!" -Robin
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great portable all rounder
"I LOVE this! It is an all rounder. I use it as a lip balm and lotion for the face when on the go. It is not ideal for using on larger parts of the body as lotion because it takes a bit to soften. But I have these everywhere: car, purse, house." -Petra
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product!
"Great ingredients and feels so good when I put it on. Using it to help relieve a rash around my lips. Thanks for making a fantastic product!" -Dori
I use my Bee Silk stick as both lotion for my hands and chap stick. I put it on my hands before bed and wake up with my hands feeling softer than the night before. I love it!!
My sister-in-law who works outside all year and has cracked painful hands is raving about this because it is actually helping her out of all the lotions (that didn’t work) she tried.
I was having to dig the remaining lotion out of the bottom of the stick to use on my face and the back of my hands the other morning because I waited too late to order a new one before I needed it. I use it starting early fall through late winter depending on how dry my skin is. It is so easy to apply and easy to carry on mission trips or camping or short weekend trips. It is in a very convenient sized tube stick. I even use it on my lips if my lip balm isn’t handy. I also recommend it to anyone that has moderate to dry skin to use on elbows, ankles, knees and heels. Great product!
So easy to use on hard to reach places, like the outer part of my feet, elbows and such
I LOVE this! It is an all rounder. I use it as a lip balm and lotion for the face when on the go. It is not ideal for using on larger parts of the body as lotion because it takes a bit to soften. But I have these everywhere: car, purse, house. They last forever, too. I love the chai scented one. Awesome product!
Great ingredients and feels so good when I put it on. Using it to help relieve a rash around my lips. Thanks for making a fantastic product!
This product is so handy and convenient. It fits perfectly in my purse or pocket. It also is a nice size to leave on bedside lamp table or bathroom sink counter.
I bought this because several reviews stated that it was great for dry lips. I tried this on my lips and the first time the stick was very hard and pieces broke off. Decided to try again and it didn’t crumble the second time but it didn’t make my dry lips any better. For the cost of this item I will stick to my lip balm.
And we love them. My cuticles look fantastic, as long as I remember to use my bee silk. We have eczema and cracked skin problems, this product goes a long way in relieving both.
