Chocolate body butter

And when the lubrication smells like that hot chocolate with cinnamon sprinkled with coffee, it's the best.

What will be needed?

- Cocoa butter (I chose dark, just for the color)

- Macadamia butter (or other butter of a similar consistency – almond, mango, shea...)

- Coconut oil

- Almond oil

- Jojoba wax (here I would stick with it and not replace e.g. beeswax, it is basically jojoba oil)

- Essential oils Cinnamon, Coffee

How to do it?

In a water bath, heat cocoa butter, macadamia butter, coconut oil, almond oil and wax in a ratio (by volume) of 4:1:1:1:1. Wait until the ingredients are perfectly mixed and remove from the flame. Mix in the essential oils - the cinnamon is quite pronounced, two drops were enough for about 200g of the mixture, in contrast, I didn't save so much with the coffee and dripped straight into the tin fifteen times.

Leave the butter to cool, reach for a whisk at room temperature and whip it. The already amazingly fragrant butter will look amazingly tasty, so be careful not to confuse it with Lipánek. It won't be as stiff as the aloe vera one I made a year ago, but easier to spread. If you would like a stiffer consistency, reduce the ratio of almond oil.

Now all you have to do is throw the butter into the pixel, play the would-be terribly funny illustrator, spoil the work with a label, and enjoy a well-oiled and fragrant autumn!

Butters and oils are of course champions of hydration, especially macadamia butter kicks all the dry flakes on the butt. Essential oils, in addition to perfectly complementing the scent, have other functions - coffee and cinnamon essential oils are considered one of the best anti-aging ingredients, they are also said to fight cellulite well, and should also help with eczema. Although the butter is really puffy, it is absorbed quite quickly and does not leave a greasy coating. It spreads amazingly easily - it melts on contact with the skin - and you only need a small amount for the whole body.

And lest I forget - although I used dark cocoa butter, the resulting product does not color. :) Of course you can use light ones, but I personally feel that dark ones smell better.
