To melt the oils, place the beaker into a water bath of ( A shallow saucepan with a couple of inches of simmering water). Give the oils a stir every now and again as they melt. You can also use a microwave on a low heat setting using 30 second bursts, stirring in between blasts. The beaker will be hot so take care when handling it.
Once melted remove the beaker from the water and stir well. Stir the melted oils until they have cooled to around room temperature.
(optional) You can quicken the cooling by placing the beaker into a bowl with a small amount of water and ice. If you do choose this method, allow the beaker to adjust in temperature so that you don't shock the glass. Keep popping the beaker in and out of the water so that it doesn't solidify.
When the oils are around room temperature it's time to add the vitamin E and the fragrance/essential oil. Stir them in so they are fully combined.
1.5 grams Vitamin E Oil, 1.5 grams Orange Essential Oil
Pour the oils into the mold. If you find that the oils have started to harden, pop them back into the heat and gently to re-melt them. Once they have started to skin over, transfer to a refrigerator for an hour until fully hardened.
When they are solid, the lotion bars can be removed from the mold.
