Body Butter Bars

EdsGirlAngie's Note:

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!

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 5 bars

• ½ 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.

I have tried body butters similar to these. They go on thick, but I usually have a pair of socks or cotton gloves handy to take care of that. It also works well as a lip balm. I put my body butter in a small decorative bag and just flip it out when I need it, then close it for further use
