Here are a few of my favorite brands of these ingredients... tried and true!
Beeswax: Try this one if you want pellets or this one if you want a bar!
Coconut Oil: Try this one or if you use a lot of coconut oil then I love the big jug at Costco (Kirkland brand)
Cocoa Butter: Try this one or this one!
Vitamin E: I like this one that also has some Jojoba oil in it! If you already have Jojoba oil or Sweet Almond oil at home then I think you would be fine to substitute instead of buying something else!
Silicone molds: If you want single use lotion bars I think these small simple ones will do the trick just fine. If you want a varity of shapes or prefer a larger size there are so many on amazon to choose from such as these. Just pay attention to the mold size so you know what type of yield you will get {i.e. you may need to double the recipe}.
