What is a Lotion Bar?Lotion bars, also called body balm, are highly moisturizing blocks of solid lotion. They are mostly made up of hard oils and butters that are solid at room temperature but melt when they come in contact with skin. Lotion bars stay on the skin longer and are more slowly absorbed than traditional lotion. Because of their buttery-like feel, they are best used for dry, rough areas of the body, such as heels, knees, elbows, and hands. For a non-greasy feel, rub it on at bedtime and wake up with softer skin.
