Emollient-rich cocoa butter has a delicious chocolate scent. Combined with mint, this light lotion is great for the body and senses. Got this from the book, Drop-Dead Gorgeous. It's good to use all natural products when possible. Many of the ingredients found in modern cosmetics have been identified as hazardous by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency! Cook time includes first cooling time. Ingredients:
2 ounces cocoa butter |
1/4 cup apricot kernel oil (or other-i used almond oil) |
1 teaspoon beeswax (optional) |
1 teaspoon liquid vitamin e (i squeezed out a few vitamin e capsules) |
3 drops peppermint essential oils (or more , i used about 6 drops) |
Directions:
1. Combine cocoa butter (this will probably be hard so use a spoon or small knife to get it out of the jar), apricot oil and beeswax (if using) in small saucepan.
2. Heat on low till melted.
3. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
4. Add vitamin E and peppermint, stirring well.
5. Pour into a small container and cool completely, then cap tightly.
