When your skin craves deep hydration without the greasy residue of traditional lotions, a lotion bar might just be the solution you’ve been searching for. At Grandma Fannie’s Handcrafted Soaps, we believe skincare should be simple, sustainable, and nourishing — which is exactly what our shea butter lotion bars are crafted to deliver.
What Is a Lotion Bar?
A lotion bar is a solid moisturizer made from natural ingredients like rich butters, nourishing oils, and gentle waxes. Unlike liquid lotions that contain water and preservatives, lotion bars are completely solid and melt beautifully when warmed by your skin, creating a silky layer of hydration that lasts all day.
Perfect for travel, zero-waste living, or daily moisturizing routines, lotion bars keep your skin soft and smooth—anytime, anywhere.
Why Shea Butter Makes All the Difference
Our Shea Butter Lotion Bar is a best-seller for a reason. Shea butter is known for its deep conditioning properties and ability to replenish the skin’s natural barrier. It’s rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins A, E, and F, helping to heal dry patches and restore silky texture.
Combined with cocoa butter, beeswax, and a touch of essential oils, every bar feels like a mini spa treatment infused with Grandma Fannie’s artisanal care.
The Best Lotion Bar for Dry Skin
If you struggle with flaky, rough, or tight skin, the best lotion bar for dry skin is one that deeply moisturizes without clogging pores. Our handcrafted formula locks in moisture naturally, supporting healing and softness. Customers love using it on knees, elbows, hands, and even cracked heels — places where dryness often takes hold first.
Each bar is free from parabens, sulfates, and synthetic additives. That means pure, honest hydration from nature’s finest ingredients.

How to Use a Lotion Bar
Using a lotion bar is simple and mess-free, and it fits easily into any daily routine. Start with clean skin, ideally right after a bath or shower when your skin is still slightly warm and damp to help lock in moisture.
-
Warm the bar between your hands for a few seconds so it softens slightly. Your body heat will gently melt the natural butters and oils.
-
Glide the lotion bar directly over dry areas like hands, elbows, knees, legs, and heels. A thin, silky layer will remain on the skin.
-
Massage the product in with your hands until fully absorbed. For very dry skin, apply a shea butter lotion bar again at night for extra nourishment.
After use, store your Grandma Fannie’s lotion bar in a cool, dry place or reusable tin to keep it solid and ready for next time.
Lotion Bar FAQ
What is a lotion bar and how is it different from regular lotion?
A lotion bar is a solid, water-free moisturizer made from ingredients like shea butter, oils, and beeswax that melt on contact with your skin. Unlike bottled lotions that contain water and preservatives, lotion bars are concentrated, long-lasting, and a more sustainable, low-waste option.
Are lotion bars good for dry skin?
Yes, lotion bars are especially helpful for very dry, rough, or cracked areas because the butters and oils form a protective, occlusive layer that seals in moisture. Grandma Fannie’s Shea Butter Lotion Bar is designed to be one of the best lotion bars for dry skin, delivering deep hydration to hands, feet, elbows, and more.
Can I travel with a lotion bar?
Lotion bars are ideal for travel because they are solid and TSA-friendly, so you can pack them in your carry-on without worrying about liquid limits or spills. Just tuck your lotion bar from Grandma Fannie’s Handcrafted Soaps into a small tin or container and go.
How long does a lotion bar last?
Because a bar is highly concentrated and water-free, a little goes a long way and each bar typically lasts much longer than a bottle of traditional lotion when used daily. With proper storage away from heat and direct sunlight, your Grandma Fannie’s lotion bar can stay effective for many months.
