Cocoa Butter Antibacterial Moisturizing Lotion

I think I got this off of Delicious Living, but not sure. I'm not sure why it says "antibacterial" but this can be used on face or body, I'm sure. Probably too oily for oily skin, though. It says, "Cocoa butter is naturally water repellent and thus protective of the skin; it is especially useful for dehydrated skin." I made a modified version of this with shea butter, which I will also post. Show more
