Description
All-Natural Solid Lotion Bar Handcrafted with Beeswax, Coconut Oil & Organic Calendula-Infused Almond Oil
The Little Bee Lotion Bar is a deeply moisturizing solid lotion bar made from the simplest, most effective natural ingredients. Warm it between your palms and let it melt directly into dry skin. No plastic pump, no synthetic fillers, no waste.
Each bar is handcrafted in small batches using pure beeswax, organic coconut oil, calendula-infused almond oil, and pure essential oils. The result is a long-lasting moisture barrier that softens rough, cracked, and dry skin without grease or residue.
Why a Lotion Bar?
- Zero waste: No bottle. Just a solid bar that lasts for months.
- Simple ingredients: No water, no preservatives, no synthetic fragrance.
- TSA-friendly: Solid format passes through security with no liquid restrictions.
- Deep moisture: Beeswax creates a protective barrier that locks hydration in.
How to Use
Hold the lotion bar briefly in your palms or swipe directly onto dry skin. Body heat softens the bar and releases the oils. The more you use it, the softer it becomes.
Key Ingredients
Beeswax: Creates a protective, moisture-sealing barrier with natural antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. Ideal for chapped skin and lips.
Calendula-Infused Almond Oil: Certified organic calendula flowers are steeped in almond oil to intensify their skin-healing properties. Almond oil is rich in vitamins E and A, absorbs easily, and suits all skin types.
Coconut Oil: Deeply moisturizing with natural anti-inflammatory properties. Rich in medium-chain fatty acids that absorb quickly without clogging pores.
Essential Oils: Pure, naturally occurring plant extracts for scent. No synthetic fragrance or perfume oils. Fragrance-free “Natural” option available for sensitive skin.
2.5 oz bar. Available in 13 scents.

I’ve loved these lotion bars for years. They keep my nails from drying out and my skin soft. The lemongrass and lavender bars are both great for keeping summer biting bugs away and the unscented bar soothes my pups paws too.

I’ve been using the lavender mint lotion bar for a few years and it’s great. It will hydrate the driest, hardest parts of your skin in just a few uses and make your skin soft and supple. It even works great on super dry heels!

I first found Love + Leche when I worked at my local yarn shop. We carried a few different lotion bar brands at the time and this was by far the best. The bars absorb beautifully, smell wonderful without being overpowering and just feel so good (gotta love natural ingredients!). I’ve purchased countless bars over the years and love the refill option since I already have the tins.
Rachel R –
These are the BEST lotion bars! I love each and every scent, and am so appreciative that the company worked with me to reduce packaging and waste. Thank you!
Judy Shelley –
As a knitter, I am addicted to these lotion bars. My favorite is lemongrass, but love all I have tried!
Sara –
I buy these gift sets at the holidays every year. I can give one as a set or break them up as stocking stuffers or little thank-you’s. They smell great and even better, they work wonderfully on heels, elbows, dry hands or anywhere you need a little dry skin help. People love them! I am never without one of these lotion bars.
Julia Wood –
I have used these lotion bars for years because of knitting, but I quickly found out that rubbing my feet with them before bed eliminated cracked heels and skin breaks on my thumbs. I buy them in bulk! My favorite scent is cedarwood and lavender. Thanks so much for a wonderful product.
Lee-Ann –
I love using these bars and gifting these bars to friends and family…they are beautiful and work on my chapped feet and dry hands without leaving them greasy…they are perfect! My favorite scent is the rosemary and mint ones! Thank you!

The lavender lotion bar is my all-time favorite. A friend introduced me to your amazing products. I always have one on hand–in my purse, car, at home, and at work. Best product for gardener’s hands too!
Alicia –
I found these lotion bars through the knitting community. I use these before and after knitting to keep my hands soft and moisturized. I love these so much I have gifted them to family and friends throughout the years and all have had positive things to say about the lotion bars. I love the citrus-rose and spiced chai scents
Laura B –
I love this balm. The scent is oh so stimulating. I use it on my hands to keep them hydrated while crocheting and knitting. No more snagging silk yarn on my dry skin! Yay.
Mary –
I adore the Lavender scent! It is so relaxing and this lotion bar works wonders for my dry skin. It is easy to tuck in your purse and eco-friendly with the reusable container. TThhiiss ilsit tmley memus th hasa vliev epdro ind umcyt!

I have used these bars for years, purchasing them in Santa Fe. They are’s till as wonderful as ever with new owners. I must always have them! Thanks!
Erin –
This is a terrific mint in the always excellent Love+Leche base, and I’m finding it terrific this summer to help me cool down. I’m a knitter, and have been using L+L balms for years, and it’s so terrific that they haven’t changed, just added a great new scent like this one.

Love the lavender scent, but really love the lasting moisture from the lotion bar which keeps your feet (and heels) soft and crack-free. I have tried every commercial product on the market to fix my dry, cracked and sore heels, but this the only one that really works!! My husband used to have to sand my feet regularly to keep them smooth, so he was happy that I found a product which does the job for him!
Michelle –
I absolutely LOVE this bar! I was given this as a gift YEARS ago and it still has its wonderful smell and moisturizing qualities. (I have the lavender/rosemary scent) It goes on SOOO smooth. Also, I have eczema on my hands and I cannot just wear just any lotion on my hands as many lotions redden or irritate my skin. This DOES not. I mostly use this for my feet/heels after I give myself pedicures. My feet stay smooth and looking moisturized for DAYS. I can’t think of anything negative to say about it!
Sarah S –
I bought the unscented bar for my son who suffers from eczema. He loved it! He doesn’t tolerate conventional moisturing lotions because they are irritating. This bar really does the trick; melts into the skin on contact and gives him relief for hours. Not greasy like some other natural skincare products.
mary –
This is an amazing cream. It repairs cuts on the dry winter cracks on your fingers and thumbs almost immediately! It’s also great for your feet. I love this product and have been searching for it ever since my local organic grocery store stopped carrying it. It is my gift of choice when visiting friends and family.
Diane Beavers –
Recently I purchased a lotion bar in the Lemongrass scent as I had read on your Instagram post that it’s great for repelling mosquitos. It does! As an avid walker in the woods and dog walker , it has definitely repelled those pesky mosquitoes. The scent is fabulous and moisturizing too.
mary –
I love these lotion bars. In the winter if you have a cut on your finger or thumb, just put some of this cream on it and in one to two days the cut is healed!. Amazing. I’ve just bought the bug bar and I feel confident that I am not putting any harmful chemicals on/in my body. I highly recommend Love and Leche products!
Robin Goodwin –
Your lotion bars are my favorite for moisturizing my hand. The scents are delightful.
Patty –
Got a trio set and purchased extra gift bags for gifting-easy way to make an impact-they are just the right touch!
Patty –
I’ve started holiday shopping and will break up the set for smaller gifts-did get the extra gift bags-Love the lotion bars and will enjoy sharing with friends!
Patty –
Bought several items to share but this one’s for me-works really well and the scent is light and lovely
Gail –
First off, I love the smell of ginger. Having used your Little Bee Bars in the past, I was anxious to give this one a try. The smell is exactly what I was hoping for. I bought two – one for me and one for a friend and glad I did.
Sandy Geier –
Have used your product for a few years now and love it! I’m anxious to try the lemongrass soon. Also like the small bars (and refills) -so handy to carry with me so I always have some on hand (pun intended)!
Sandy Geier –
Newer scent for me and I love it!
Pauline –
I have been using love and leche lotion bars for many years. The bars are great to travel with and I use for my heels as part of my nightly beauty routine.
eloise –
Live in a warm climate and used to suffer with cracks around my heels which were painful and ugly. Tried every commercial product with no success. Thankfully was given a bar by a relative and found it keeps my heels smooth all year round. Smells lovely as well. Always keep a couple extra around for gifts. Prefer this little bar to larger version as easier to hold in my palm. Really a superb product!!
Patricia McElwain –
This was a gift for my son. He has dry hands in winter and he says this bar works well for him. I purchased the unscented one for him.
Jo Ann muraco –
Enjoying the lotion bar. Purchased the little bee. The scent is mild and refreshing. Will be using the lavender and Unscented on an up coming trip. Gives me more room in my tsa bag. Leaves skin soft. Will buy more in the future.
Devra –
Unlike lotions and creams which have to be frequently reapplied, the ingredients in this lotion bar give amazingly long-lasting moisture! A high- desert climate and hard water combine to make my sensitive skin dry and painful, especially in winter. So I always keep one of these bars handy– perfect for hands, lips and body. I’m so glad I discovered these in my local yarn shop. And I’m super grateful it comes in an unscented version for those of us who are sensitive to fragrance!
C. H. –
A great product, the unscented version, for an older guy who doesn’t care for fragrances. It conquers dry skin that’s common when you’re over 65. Have been using it for a couple of years now and gave one to my daughter and son in law as well.
Jessica –
Makes your hands so soft and absorbs so quickly. Stays on, even when your hands get wet. And smells so nice
Julie –
These were a big hit with my friends. I bought more as stocking stuffers.
Rachel Kirby –
World’s best stocking stuffers for family! Every December I buy some in various scents so they can be traded on Christmas morning!
Laurie K –
My original shipment was lost and Jon did an amazing job of taking care everything for me. I bought these for stocking stuffers and absolutely love the smell. Great product, great scent, and great service!
barbara maunus –
great product but found the website confusing 1. looks like you get 2 containers at first, but that just shows the sizes 2. not clear the differences among the products 3I o. wrdoerrkesd r tehaell yla wste Ellmma’s

Smalliday bundle from the Salty Sheep. Much to my surprise, I found this lotion tin at the bottom. I wasn’t expecting that. I immediately checked the ingredients and got excited to try it. It’s amazing! I will be a customer for life. I have extreme allergies to endocrine disruptors including manufactured fragrance. This lotion bar feels so good on my skin, even after washing my hands. I’m so excited!
Ray –
The scent is very unique and warming; much better tan any others. I wish this was available all year and not just a seasonal offering.
Debbie E –
I have tried MANY hand moisturizers for the dry, cold air in the winter. This is THE BEST I’ve come across. It was given to me as a gift and I’ve already purchased some more. Please keep making these and adding more scents!!!!!
Jocelyn M –
My hands get very chapped in dry, cold weather. This is the only moisturizer that has helped. It is also the only moisturizer my husband uses because he does not like lotions (his preferred scent is Cedarwood). The lavender scent is nice and strong. I also like the citrus-rose. Great for travel and I always keep one in the car!
Marcia Farrell –
The cooling, soothing scent and texture of the winter mint lotion bar is instantly calming for both the mind and my eczema-inflamed skin. Smoothing just a little on the reddest trouble areas helped calm the itch and tame the redness so that a few days later you could barely see where the skin had been irritated.
Marcia Farrell –
The light scent is the perfect marriage of citrus and rose, as both balance one another for a lotion bar that is subtle and bright. The lotion is absorbed quickly with no greasy after effects, leaving skin soft and smooth for lasting moisture retention.
Susan –
I have been using the unscented lotion bars for my cracked heels for many years, and they are the best products I have found for that condition. I have many scent allergies and these bars don’t bother my nose at all, while smelling sweetly of bee’s wax and honey. I highly recommend these bars!
Laura Carroll –
I have ALWAYS had cracked peeling cuticles.No more! Rub the Citrus Rose on my hands and especially cuticles at bedtime. It is amazing. Have used this since 2017 when company was still in New Mexico. Happy to say it did not change quality when they moved to new owners.
Lynn Jacobson –
Second time purchasing and I will continue. When my hands are warm, after showering, is the best time to apply. Leaves them soft for most of the day without feeling greasy. I wash my hands several times a day with no need to reapply. The scents are amazing too.
Diane –
Well, I now have a lotion bar in multiple places in my house and also my purse and car. They are magic! And smell devine! I have already decided that my friends and family members are each getting one this year for Christmas!
Jessica –
This scent smells sooo good. These lotion bars are the best invention ever for people who have to wash their hands frequently. The lotion stays on and protects your skin from over-drying.
Jane –
I had a split fingernail and another one that had a damaged area. Within a week of use, the split was healed and the damaged area looked so much better! Now it’s time to try it on my feet!
Peyton –
I’ve been through multiple of love and leche’s products and this one feels a bit nicer than the consistency of the normal lotion bars but both are incredibly moisturizing and smell fantastic. I think this is my forever lotion brand. I feel eco-conscious, I smell great, and I’m always moisturized! I love all their products – definitely buy!
Lauren –
I’m huge on salves, I prefer them to lotion living in the dry, high mountain desert in Colorado. I was gifted this product over a year ago, & as I ran out I decided to order more. Love the variety of sizes & the refillable option! I was able to buy enough to keep in my purse, office, & each of my knitting project bags! I get compliments on the smell all the time, of the lavender scent. I haven’t tried the others, but will in the future! Look forward to continuing purchasing these to trip my stock!
Scrappy –
These bars of lotions are terrific for my eczema. Very helpful in healing my outbreaks.
Carla –
Just started using it. It does help my dry hands and cuticles. It soaks into the skin quickly.
Raylene Kennedy –
I received a bar as a gift and works well. I love the lotion bars.
Allie –
I love this product. I got it as a gift in the past and had to reorder for myself when I ran out. I love the smell and how it feels in my body. I use it every night before bed and am obsessed!
Robin Goodwin –
I am enjoying the scents in this collection. I gave one to my cousin in law for her birthday and she is loving them as well. Both of us have gotten compliments on the scents. And the softening of our cubicles are a definite plus.
Trish –
Oh, my goodness! I cannot tell you how much I love these. I really find the scent and the weight of the balm to be perfect. There’s no greasy feel, no overpowering fragrance and my skin LOVES the attention. I gifted some balm for my mother and she is raving. I know we will both enjoy the benefits and order more. Thank you for such a great product and easy-to- use website!!
Christine Cordts –
I love this product so much and now my husband is hooked. I’ve had to re-order and really love the scent and that there is a travel size. Thank you!
Leah –
I have enjoyed this product for years and love all of the new fragrances!
