speaking of cocoa butter
It seems I read this question before but do not remember if I ever read the answer. I have some unrefined cocoa butter. Anyone know how I can put it to use? Betty

Natural Lotion Bar/Massage Bar or Bath Oil Gently melt the Cocoa Butter with 25% liquid oil** ** You can use Sweet Almond Oil Grapeseed Oil Coconut Oil Borage Oil Avacado Oil etc etc Allow to cool for a while Then either pour into an ice cube tray and pop in the freezer until fully set (but not frozen) and add one to a bath for a nourishing bath oil OR Pour into a small container with flexible sides, pop in freezer until set and then just squeeze the bar between your hands and allow the quantity of oils you want to melt in your palms to use for a massage (the oils will melt just with the heat of your hands) OR Pour into a pot/jar or empty lip balm tube and allow to set. Use this on areas of dry skin as you would any cream or lotion. Excellent as a treatment for chapped hands, just smooth over the skin, pop some gloves on and go to bed. In the morning you will have beautifully soft hands and shiny nails. Alternatives: You can add essential oils for fragrance, relaxation or to revive yourself, Pierce a vitamin E capsule and add to the mixture to help feed the skin, add a small amount of Aloe Vera Gel to sooth the skin, or add your own favourites. Hope this gives you all a few ideas, and the varieties are endless. Sarah
