Rough workout? Long day in the office? Give your sore muscles some attention with a cocoa-mint-infused lotion bar that you can use for massages, thanks to built-in nubs that help you hit your sore spots. Cocoa butter, coconut oil, and almond oil combine to make this bar ultra-moisturizing, while Peppermint and Copaiba essential oils help soothe tired muscles.
Yield: 3-4 massage bars
Ingredients
• ½ cup beeswax pellets
• ¼ cup cocoa butter, cut into small chunks
• 2 tablespoons sweet almond oil
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
• 5 drops Peppermint essential oil
• 5 drops Spearmint essential oil
• 3 drops Cinnamon Bark essential oil
• 3 drops Copaiba essential oil
• Silicone mold with nubs on the bottom
Instructions:
1. Add beeswax and cocoa butter to a double boiler over low-medium heat until melted. Be careful not to overheat or melt too quickly—low and slow is best.
2. Once the beeswax and cocoa butter are melted, turn off the heat and add sweet almond oil and coconut oil. Stir to combine.
3. Add cocoa powder and mix well until it is fully incorporated; make sure there are no lumps!
4. Pour the mixture into a mold of your choosing. Let mixture cool for 5 minutes.
5. Add essential oils: 5 drops Peppermint, 5 drops Spearmint, 3 drops Cinnamon Bark, and 3 drops Copaiba to each massage bar. Mix in with a toothpick.
YL TIP: Waiting until the cocoa butter and beeswax mixture cools slightly before adding essential oils keeps the temperature consistent for those precious drops.
6. Let cool completely in the fridge before popping the massage bar out of the mold.
7. Store in a sealed container and keep away from heat to keep the bar from melting.
To use:
Rub the textured side of the bar along your back, feet, legs—sore muscles love the extra attention! The textured bottom adds to the massage experience, while the Peppermint and Spearmint leave a tingling sensation on your skin.
