Blend with other vegetable oils to create ointments of various consistencies and textures. Creativity can run free as the possibilities are endless.

Below are 2 easy suggestions to make a body bars

  • 99 gr cocoa butter, 1 ml of essential oil (or 30 drops) - this makes a hard bar which will melt slowly when rubbed on the skin. It can be used as a hand cream without releasing too much oil.
  • to make a softer bar, 84 or 89 gr of cocoa butter, 15 or 10 gr of a specialist oil (jojoba, calendula, rosehip, pomegranate) 1 ml of essential oil

Melt the cocoa butter and vegetable oil over a bain-marie, add the essential oil once the base oils are melted, pour into a mould (silicone is ideal) and wait until it solidifies.
