These bars leave your skin feeling soft, smoothed and sensuous. The rose and cocoa are delicious and decadent additions! This recipe can be halved, quartered, etc., to make less product.
Yield: Approx. 42 4-ounce bars
Prep Time: 40 minutes (less if you make less) Price Category: 3 Difficulty Level: 2 Shelf Life: IndefiniteIngredients: 1 cup shea butter 1 cup sweet almond oil 1 cup cocoa butter 1/2 cup jojoba oil 1/2 cup virgin coconut oil 2 cups beeswax 1/4 teaspoon rose absolute 1/4 teaspoon cocoa absolute Blending Procedure: - Measure the the butters, sweet almond oil and beeswax into a Pyrex measuring cup and place the cup into a bath of boiling water. When the wax is nearly completely melted, remove the cup from the water and stir the ingredients to thoroughly combine.
- Allow the mixture to cool for about 1 minute before adding the jojoba oil and virgin coconut oil and stirring to ensure the mix.
- Add the rose and cocoa absolute and stir to combine. Pour into molds of your choice. I usually use 1/4 ounce molds shaped like ovals so they fit nicely into the hands but you can use any mold you like. You can also use deodorant or other "stick" containers. (Number of bars depends on size of mold(s) used.)
- Allow the bars to cool completely before using. Space permitting, pop them into the freezer immediately after pouring -- this seems to enhance the texture of the finished bars. To use, warm a bar between your palms to transfer some of the oils and butter to your palms. Massage dry skin with your oil infused palms to soothe and moisturize. Love your body!
