In my first order of supplies there was the godly cocoa butter. If you have never smelled raw, unrefined cocoa butter, you are missing out. Wow. Just wow.
I had some orange essential oil and when I smelled them together (which is how I’ve come to decide on scents) I knew I had something. Determined not to use all my lovely cocoa butter in a one-er I took to the internet to find out what works well with it for a body butter. The answer? Coconut oil, which had also come through the door with the cocoa butter. Score!
I then started to think what texture I wanted it. I didn’t want to just melt them together and have a pot of hard oils i had to carve out so I thought I could blitz them together with my immersion blender – since I didn’t have a hand mixer.
So the finished product smells and feels fabulous. But no, technically it’s not “whipped”, nor is it easy to get out the pot! but, it does smell divine and feels amazing on my skin so I’ll use it until it runs out, then it’s back to the drawing board…
