Ingredients

  • 6 oz grapeseed oil or other liquid oil
  • 2 oz cocoa butter
  • 1 oz beeswax pellets or grated
  • 1 tsp vitamin E oil
  • 1 cup distilled water at room temperature
  • 1 Tbsp cocoa powder

Instructions

  • All oils are measured by weight. Measure all oils into a glass measuring cup.
  • Place measuring cup in a small saucepan of simmering water and stir until completely melted.
  • Remove oils from water and cool to room temperature. Stir in vitamin E oil
  • While oil is cooling, whisk cocoa powder into distilled water until all clumps are gone.
  • Once oil is cooled, start blending with your stick blender and slowly pour chocolate water into oil in a thin stream while continuously blending.
  • The mixture will start to emulsify. Move the stick blender around and up-and-down to make sure all the oil and water is emulsified.
  • Pour into containers and use within a couple months. To prolong shelf life, store in refrigerator.
  • Lotion may be more solid when cool, but will melt easily in your hands.
  • Enjoy!
