Cocoa butter is used to make chocolate but it's also a very emollient moisturizer. You can use it as a lotion bar too and treat yourself this Valentine's Day! They're great for preventing dry, itchy skin or as a salve for the treatment of chapped lips or burned skin.

The Instructions


Step 1: Melt the butter and oils together in a large bowl. I used a hair dryer. I like using it because it doesn't boil the ingredients. You can melt it on the stove top too.

Step 2: Place empty mold on a cookie sheet. Pour melted butter into mold.

Step 3: Place in refrigerator and allow to cool for about an hour. It should be fully solid when you remove them.

Step 4: Gently pop them out and store in an airtight container or the refrigerator. The bars will start to melt in your hand if you hold them too long. Enjoy.
