Nothing is more relaxing than a massage and it is so good for you- healng and energizing, to be sure.
Massage bars should be look, smell and feel lush and soothing to
the skin. Cocoa butter is beloved for the delicious chocolate sweet scent. I
also recommend shea butter, grapeseed oil or mango butter as other options for they are also delightfully
sumptuous.
·
3 ounces cocoa butter
·
3 ounces beeswax
·
3 ounces almond carrier
oil
·
1 teaspoon of
essential oils such as lavender, clary sage, neroli, bergamot, amber
·
soap bar molds
(available at all craft stores)
Slowly heat the beeswax, almond
oil and cocoa butter in a double boiler over low heat until just melted. Remove
from heat. Add the essential oil when mixture has cooled slightly. Pour into
soap molds and cool until hardened, approximately 2 hours. Place in freezer for
a few minutes before popping bars out of molds. To use, rub massage bar onto
the skin — the warmth of the skin immediately melts the bar. Package your
handmade massage oil in a pretty box or basket and give it as a thoughtful
gift.
