Chocolate Beauty Product Recipes


Chocolate is a great gift for Mother’s Day. Unfortunately, it is the time of year so many of us are on a diet. Treat your mom to chocolate that is diet approved. These chocolate bath products can be packaged in jars with pretty ribbons to make the ideal gift. To make the chocolate whipped body butter I purchased the supplies at a soap making supply store. The chocolate body scrub can be made by using supplies bought at the grocery store. If you can find a cocoa butter stick at your drugstore you can easily make the lip balm without going to a soap making supply store.

Chocolate Whipped Body Butter Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup cocoa butter
1/4 cup Shea oil
2 tbsp. almond oil
1 tbsp. cocoa oil

Directions:

1. Melt the cocoa butter over a double boiler.
2. Once melted add the 3 oils and stir together. Use a metal spoon. Metal spoons do not soak in the perfume from the oils.
3. Allow the cocoa butter to solidify in the refrigerator for maybe an hour. You want this to be firm but not rock solid.
4. Whip with an electric mixer for several minutes. If the mixture is too hard and not whipping, you can melt again it over the double boiler.
5. Store in a jar.
