Adding Cocoa Butter gives this massage oil a creamy consistency. It is wonderful for massages, but can also be used as a general body lotion for moisturizing the skin. This massage oil has the seductively sweet floral scent of Ylang Ylang flowers with undertones of Cocoa.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons cocoa butter
½ cup sweet almond oil
¼ cup jojoba oil
15 drops Ylang Ylang essential oil
In a double boiler, gently warm the oils and cocoa butter until the butter has melted. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes at room temperature. Then, add the essential oil and mix together until thoroughly blended. Pour into a bottle. The mixture will continue to thicken, so allow up to 24 hours for it to reach its final texture.
Note: Use less cocoa Butter if in colder climates, otherwise the massage oil will become almost solid. If it is too firm, simply re-melt and add more carrier oil. If you desire a firmer consistency, re-melt and add additional cocoa Butter.
