Weighing Ingredients for the Bars

It is very important that you weigh the ingredients that you will be using for your hard lotion bars. The bees wax tends to be the one that will lead the weight, since it comes in a chunk. Weigh this first and it will be your reference weight. For example, my bees wax was 2.15 ounces. I tried to get as close to this weight with the other ingredients.

While you are weighing the ingredients, you can have your double boiler heating up. I didn't have a real double boiler, so I used a metal bowl that fit into the largest pan I had.
