The perfect massage bar for a special Valentine treat (or any time you need a little TLC)! These are rich and full of vitamin E. Cocoa butter and coconut oil can generally be found at nutrition stores; the decorative molds can be found at craft/hobby stores. And even though the chocolaty aroma of the cocoa butter is very strong, the peppermint, florals, and ylang-ylang give it a beautiful fragrance. Ylang-ylang may be hard to find, but by all means, try it - and remember, a little goes a looooonnnnng way! Also remember to store these in the refrigerator - coconut oil likes to melt easily, but it makes the bars silkier! Ingredients:
1/2 cup melted cocoa butter |
8 vitamin e, capsules punched and contents squeezed out |
1 tablespoon melted coconut oil |
12 drops of your favorite floral essential oils (i like jasmine...) |
15 drops of peppermint essential oils |
5 drops of ylang-ylang essential oils (or more) |
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients, let cool slightly, and pour into decorative molds. 2. (Molds do not need conditioning.) Store bars in the refrigerator. 3. They are very melty , so have a soap dish handy when you need to put down the bar. |
