Cocoa Butter Antibacterial Moisturizing Lotion

Recipe #357359 | 3 min | 3 min prep | add private note

I think I got this off of Delicious Living, but not sure. I'm not sure why it says "antibacterial" but this can be used on face or body, I'm sure. Probably too oily for oily skin, though. It says, "Cocoa butter is naturally water repellent and thus protective of the skin; it is especially useful for dehydrated skin." I made a modified version of this with shea butter, which I will also post.

1/4 cup (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cocoa butter
  • 2 tablespoons jojoba oil or sweet almond oil
  • 1 tablespoon aloe vera gel

Directions

  1. 1
    Melt the cocoa butter and the jojoba oil in a double boiler over medium heat.
  2. 2
    Once the butter is melted, stir in the aloe vera gel until throughly blended.
  3. 3
    Use by dabbing on your finger.
