Description
The moisturising properties of refined cocoa butter help in the prevention of stretch marks as well as in the treatment of chapped or burned skin and lips. Use daily as a moisturiser to help prevent dry, itchy skin. It soaks into the skin and has very high concentrations of vitamins and emollients that the skin needs to stay healthy, soft and supple. That's why it's such a popular ingredient in 'make your own' recipes for the face and skin, such as soaps and lotions.

RECIPE INSPIRATION
Lip Gloss Oil
Who doesn’t love a little lip gloss? Keep those lips glossy, moisturised and summer-ready with this easy lip gloss oil.
8.5g castor oil
0.5g Vitamin E oil
Pinch of mica powder, optional
You can go even more simple and omit the cocoa butter, but we love the scent and it adds a touch of viscosity.
Melt the cocoa butter and castor oil together, the cocoa butter should be fully melted. Stir in the vitamin E oil. If you are using mica powder, add it now and stir the mixture thoroughly. Decant the lip gloss into the roller bottle.
Notes: cocoa butter granules may start to crystalise in very cold weather, but it's perfect for summer.
Mica is not soluble in oil, but it is dispersible. If you find it settling to the bottom, just give it a quick shake up and it will re-disperse. Read more about our 5 minute DIY gifts on our blog.
