Cocoa Butter is an incredibly effective natural emollient. It has an extraordinary smooth texture that adds a touch of luxury to any product blend or treatment. Cocoa Butter is often used to create natural body butters, lip balms and massage blends.

This ingredient is extracted from the seeds contained within the fruit of the Cocoa Tree. The extracted butter is rich in natural fats and antioxidants which are superb for nourishing and moisturising the skin. This ingredient is also a mind antiseptic which makes it ideal for dry, irritated skin conditions. It also has a particularly long shelf life and can be used to improve the shelf life of other products.

Please note that all bulk sizes are supplied in 250gm Ali pouches.

Body Butter

1/4 cup Cocoa Butter

1/4 cup Shea Butter

1/4 cup Coconut Oil

1/4 cup Sweet Almond Oil (or another light carrier oil of your choice)

10 drops of essential oils (try 4 drops Neroli, 4 Rose & 2 Sweet Orange)

Place all ingredients (except the essential oils) in glass bowl and gently melt over a pan of simmering water. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are combined. Take off the heat and allow to cool before mixing in your essential oils. Pop in the fridge until it just starts to harden around the edges (about an hour). Whip until the butter is nice and fluffy, spoon into sterile jars and pop back in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to set. Store in a cool, dark place.

Lip Balm

7g Beeswax

5g Cocoa Butter

12.5ml Apricot Kernel Oil

8 drops of essential oil (we recommend 4 drops each of Mandarin and Lime)

15ml jar with lid

Melt the Beeswax, Cocoa Butter and Apricot Oil in a bain-marie (as detailed above). Stir well and remove from the heat. Add the essential oils and mix again thoroughly. Pour the mixture into the jar and place in the fridge to set.

Moisturising Bath Creamers

600g sodium bicarbonate

300g citric acid

100g of natural talcum powder

100g Cocoa Butter

50g Shea Butter

12ml of your chosen essential oil (for a simple solution you could try our Relaxing or Sweet Dreams pure essential oil blends)

Latex gloves

Dried botanicals / flower petals

Tray with a layer of baking parchment on for drying the creamers

A non stick baking tray to lay out your botanicals

In a bowl combine the dry ingredients thoroughly using a sieve. In a separate bowl melt the butters over a bain marie. Remove from the heat and add your essential oils. Mix well. Wearing gloves add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly (like mixing cookie dough). Mould into small balls and roll in the botanicals / flower petals to decorate. Place them on the tray with baking parchment and leave to dry / set in a warm place. Instead of making balls you could press the mixture into a chocolate mould and sprinkle the botanicals on top. Once dry store in an airtight container and use within 3 months.

Shimmery Body Massage Bar

50g Cocoa Butter

25g Extra Virgin Coconut Butter

25g Shea Butter

Cosmetic grade mica powder if you want the shimmer

Cake / chocolate moulds (use small sized moulds as a little massage bar goes a long way)

Optional: 30 drops (1.5ml) of essential oil - you can just leave it natural to enjoy the subtle scent of the butters

Melt the butters in a bain marie or just in a pan over a gentle heat. In a separate container mix a little mica powder with a little melted coconut butter to disperse the powder. Pour in a small amount of your melted butter and mix well. Add the remainder of the butter and mix again. Pour carefully into your moulds and place in the fridge to set. To use: massage the bar into your skin. The warmth of your hands will cause the bar to melt in nicely.
