Melt the candelilla wax. Put the wax into a microwave-safe container and melt in the microwave set to medium in 30-second bursts until fully melted.
Place the cocoa butter, shea butter, mango butter and babassu oil into a heat-resistant mixing bowl and melt in a water bath over low flame. Then take off the heat and combine with the melted candelilla wax. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the rose essential oil and vitamin E oil.
Pour the lotion mixture into the mould and put in the fridge to set overnight. Note that it takes several hours for cocoa butter to completely set. Tip: Put the mould on a tray or cutting board so you can handle and lift mould more easily.
Gently bend the mould to pop the lotion bars out.
