Homemade lotion bar

I made a lotion bar the other day. Mostly I was looking for a way to make my cocoa butter easier to apply to my skin. So I found a pretty basic recipe online that suggested equal parts oil, solid 'butter', and beeswax. So I used olive oil, cocoa butter, and beeswax. I like the way that the lotion applies but then it feels oily and a little waxy. Not just while it absorbs but even the next morning. I don't like that so much. I'm thinking about trying almond oil and coconut oil next time. Or maybe just a different recipe all together. I did like how easy it was to make!
