Chocolate mousse body butter

This recipe it one of my all time favorites, which I have been making and using non-stop for many months now. It is a thick all natural body butter, which makes my dry skin so very soft and smells just absolutely great. The only down side of this body butter is that it takes a while to absorb into the skin so you should keep this in mind and first give it some time to sink in before putting on your clothes or pajamas. Besides this one downside it is absolutely great and you should definitely try to make it yourself. 

I called it chocolate mousse body butter because of it's texture, how fluffy it is even though it is a heavy cream, and because yesterday a Belgian friend of mine was describing a chocolate mousse recipe he makes and it just made me think of this body butter so much that I decided to call it Chocolate mousse body butter. 

Ingredients:

1/4 cup coconut oil

1/4 cup cocoa butter

1/4 cup shea butter

1/8 cup jojoba oil

1/8 cup macademia nut oil

20 drops vitamin E oil

10-15 drops orange or vanilla essential oil (or a mixture of both)

1 tbsp pure cocoa powder

Preparation:

Place the butters and oils in a large glass jar or pot and melt everything in a water bath. Add the cocoa powder and mix well. Place the jar in the refrigerator and leave to completely cool down until the mixture slowly starts to solidify. Once it starts to solidify take out of fridge and whip with a electrical mixer until it become fluffy. Towards the end add the essential oil (you can also skip adding the essential oils because the butter itself has a great chocolate scent from the cocoa butter and cocoa powder) and vitamin E oil.  

Once you make this butter I assure you you will fall in love with it. It smells and looks so great that you will be tempted to eat it! But don't do that of course! Leave it for your skin to enjoy :)
