• 90 ml (6 tbsp) of organic coconut oil
• 30 ml (2 tbsp) of raw cocoa butter (organic and fair trade)
• 15 ml (1 tbsp) of organic arrowroot starch (For the silky, soft feel it adds to the finished product, but also for its mattifying effect.)
• 10 ml (2 tsp) of cocoa powder (For the funky side, a touch of color and for the senses!)
• 10 drops of organic ylang-ylang essential oil (Cananga odorata) (Calms the mind, anti-depressant, balances mood, invites relaxation and aphrodisiac.)
• 15 drops of organic sweet orange essential oil (Citrus sinensis) (Calming, soothes anxiety and restlessness, invites sleep, sedative.)
• 15 drops of organic vanilla aromatic essence (For the... decadent side!)

1. In a double boiler, melt the coconut oil and cocoa butter over low heat.

2. Once melted, remove from heat and, using a small whisk or a fork, add the starch and the cocoa powder.

3. Mix well until there are no more lumps.

4. Add the essential oils and the vanilla aromatic essence, then mix lightly once more.

5. Pour everything into one or more jars and let set for a few minutes in the refrigerator.

You can also opt for a whipped version of this recipe by whipping the mixture once cooled until you get a whipped cream-style texture!

Apply a tiny amount (this butter is very rich!) to the body after the shower or bath, while the skin is slightly damp, to nourish the skin and optimize absorption.
