In a small saucepan over low heat add the sweet almond oil, dried rose petals and dried violet blossoms. Heat until the pan feels warm to the touch (about 3 minutes), then turn off the heat.
Let the oil infusion sit for at least 1 hour, or until the oil smells as fragrant as you would like. Strain the dried flowers if you would prefer super smooth lotion bars, otherwise, keep them in the oil for visual appeal and to add an exfoliating effect to your lotion bars.
In a double boiler over medium heat, add the infused oil, cocoa butter and beeswax. Heat until all liquifies (about 5 minutes).
Stir in the essential oil, if using, then pour the mixture into silicone molds of your choice.
Let the bars sit until cool and hardened completely (about 1 hour) before removing from the molds.
Keep the lotion bars stored in a cool, dark place for up to one year.
