What is a lotion bar and how does it work?
A lotion bar is a solid, waterless moisturizer made with natural butters, oils, and beeswax. It works by melting slightly with body heat, allowing the nourishing ingredients to absorb into the skin for deep hydration. Unlike traditional liquid lotions, lotion bars are mess-free, long-lasting, and travel-friendly.
Why lotion bars work so well:
When it comes to dry, cracked skin and fingers and heels that split and crack from hard work, the Beesilk hard lotion bar is your easy, long-lasting fix. No more greasy and smelly lotion necessary. This bar is scent-free, and is also free of preservatives and additives that can irritate the skin. Only 3 ingredients!
How to use a lotion bar:
All you need to do is rub the bar over your dry skin, especially spending time on the cracks and split. Allow the ingredients to absorb right in.
For extreme dry skin, apply again at night before bedtime and your skin will feel soft and smooth by morning.

What makes Beesilk so effective
and how is it used?
Beesilk is effective, portable,
and safe for children, too.
"Amazing!! I have tried many products......Beesilk lotion bar had immediate results. I have psoriasis on the bottom of my feet, and it’s been a problem for 14 years! This may be the first time I can wear sandals this summer! I am overjoyed!" Barbara Schneider
"I love the pocket-size lotion bars for my purse and nightstand. I work in a daycare and have sensitive, dry skin, so my hands get cracked frequently. Lotion bars help heal my skin and hold the moisture much better than other products I've tried." Kayla Rief
What are the main ingredients in a Beesilk lotion bar?
-
Beeswax (binds the other two ingredients to make it last longer in the skin)
-
Coconut Oil (melts on contact with the skin, making the lotion bar easy to apply)
-
Shea Butter (the magic ingredient that works so effectively on dry skin, eczema and other skin issues)
Why does beeswax work so well in lotion bars?
Beeswax is the ingredient that solidifies the lotion bar to make it "hard". It's also necessary to lock in the other nourishing ingredients to make it last all day long in the skin.
Are lotion bars better than traditional lotion?
Yes, lotion bars have several advantages over traditional liquid lotions:
-
No water content, meaning they are more concentrated and last longer.
-
No artificial preservatives or emulsifiers needed.
-
Mess-free and travel-friendly, with no risk of spills.
How long does a lotion bar last compared to liquid lotion?
A single lotion bar can last 2-3 times longer than a bottle of lotion because it's highly concentrated and doesn’t contain water. With daily use, a full-size lotion bar can last anywhere from 2 to 6 months, depending on the size and frequency of use.

-
Deep hydration without feeling greasy.

Lotion Bars: Storage and Travel
Do lotion bars melt easily in warm weather?
Lotion bars are formulated to stay solid at room temperature but may soften in very hot climates. We have not had any issues with the bar melting during shipping and we live in a place that reaches 115 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep the bar out of exposed sunlight or hot cars.
How should I store my lotion bar to keep it from melting?
-
Keep it in a tin or storage container when not in use.
-
Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
-
Avoid leaving it in a hot car or near heat sources.
Are lotion bars travel-friendly and TSA-approved?
Yes! Since they are solid and contain no liquids, lotion bars are TSA-compliant and can be packed in carry-on luggage without issue.
Do lotion bars expire or go bad?
Lotion bars have a long shelf life (12-24 months) because they contain no water or preservatives. However, over time, essential oils may fade. Store in a cool, dry place for best results.

Can I use a lotion bar for cracked heels and rough elbows?

Are lotion bars good for hands exposed to frequent washing?

How do I make my own DIY lotion bar at home?
A basic recipe includes:
-
1 part beeswax

Solid at room temperature, the Beesilk hard lotion bar is designed to specifically protect and smooth over dry, cracked skin.
But it's what's NOT in the lotion bar that makes it work so well: No WATER. Water as an ingredient means you need added preservatives and additives that also tend to irritate the skin. This is why Beesilk hard lotion bars are so much better than regular hand lotion.
How do I use it? Simply rub the lotion bar over your skin, place the bar back into the tin, and rub in until fully absorbed. You'll notice a difference immediately, but you'll especially love that you still feel soft the next morning. Your dry hands will feel smooth again.
Is it for all-body use? Beesilk Lotion Bars are ideal for hands and feet (especially the cracks in your heels). We have a softer version of Beesilk for more skin mass called Beesilk Jr. Find it here. This version also works best for mild cases of eczema and psoriasis.
Why is it better than liquid lotion? No more greasy, highly fragranced pump lotion necessary. This bar is scent-free, and is also free of preservatives and additives that can irritate the skin. Only 3 ingredients!
We also have refill packs!
Ships within 3-5 business days.

This stuff is amazing! For years my hands were awful. They would crack open & bleed in multiple spots. And be so dry no one wanted to touch my hands. My teenagers would make fun of how awful my hands looked & felt. It was so bad that it would almost make me cry with how painful they were. I have tried everything from natural oils to really expensive, name brand lotions & ointments. None of them would work or come even close to the Natural lotion bar! After just a few uses my hands are 100% better!! I'm really amazed at how well it works! Thanks so much Renee!!! -Kristi
