Skincare

I have ALWAYS been a fan of natural products, without chemicals/contaminants. Your skin is the LARGEST organ of your body, it is porous & absorbs everything you put on it. Studies have shown that skin can absorb 64% of total contaminants in products & absorbs into the bloodstream within 26 seconds. WOW. Many creams simply sit on the surface of your skin. Making skin cream at home is simple & you know exactly what you're putting in.

Do you know the benefits of PURE cocoa butter & PURE coconut oil?

Pure cocoa butter comes from the cacao bean. It is high in fatty acids and hydrates & nourishes the skin. It is rich in natural plant compounds, smells heavenly, heals sensitive skin, is a rich moisturizer, reduces stretch marks/scars & is an anti-oxidant powerhouse.

Pure coconut oil is naturally anti-bacterial, anti-fungal & very moisturizing. It reduces inflammation, stops the damage caused by free radicals & helps to prevent infection.

Tip:

When buying pure cocoa butter or pure coconut oil, always read the labels to ensure it is organic & pure. NO OTHER HIDDEN INGREDIENTS!.

Here’s how to make it:

1. Ingredients: 1 cup pure cocoa butter/1 cup pure coconut oil/any essential oil of your choice. (I chose WILD ORANGE from DOTERRA)

2. Melt the cocoa butter & coconut oil in a pan on the stove until blended.

3. Let cool in the fridge until semi-hard. (approximately 2 hours).

4. Add drops of essential oil of your choice (15-20 drops-add more if desired).

5. Whip in a Kitchenaid (or similar brand) on high until well whipped & white/creamy looking. May take a while, keep checking.

6. Bottle & ENJOY!!
