What our customers are saying
The lotion bars are moisturizing and smell so yummy. If you're used to more liquidy lotion, it can take some time to get used to the consistency of a bar, but of the different brands I've tried, Ancient Lakes' is one of the more easily-absorbing options. The oils & butters soak into your skin pretty quickly, and it provides some good, long-lasting moisture.

My absolute favorite! I put it on slightly damp hands at bedtime, rub in thoroughly, and am usually good to go till the next night even during the driest seasons. When I forget at night and do need to use it during the day, it’s better than any regular lotion because it keeps your hands moisturized through light handwashings; no need to apply repeatedly! One tin lasts me about six months so definitely worth the money! I’ve tried the lavender, vanilla, and peppermint as well and loved every one!

Frequently asked questions
How do lotion bars work?
Lotion bars are made from solid oils that melt under heat.
To use a lotion bar, rub lotion bar gently onto hands, elbows, feet or any part of the body that needs moisturizing. The warmth of your hand will soften the lotion bar and allow it to slide smoothly over the skin.
To use a lotion tin, rub finger gently over lotion before rubbing onto hands, elbows, feet or other parts of the body.
Allow a few minutes for oils to absorb into skin. Hands may feel oily for a several minutes.
Only small amounts of lotion are needed at one time. Using too much lotion can result in too much oil on the skin.
