Hi eve,
Can this recipe be used by a light skinned and a dark skinned person?

Hi zenah, its optional but silk protein helps with moisture and smoothness. It also brings a shimmering quality that brings radiance to the skin.

What is the purpose of the protein powder here? Is it to thicken or make the cream less greasy? Can corn starch be substituted? Thanks for sharing this recipe.

I put a teaspoon of beeswax and it came out lovely 🙂 I omitted the aloe vera because I didn’t have it on hand.

Please don’t hate me…but, I also added a tablespoon of artificially flavored vanilla! The vanilla has a preservative in it…it’s food grade, so…

It was my first time making a lotion like this LOL. Only my 3rd DIY butter concoction…in 2 days. I’m on a roll…Now, that I have it…the chocolate smell is so delicious and wafting that I did not need to add any extra flavorings or even essential oils!

I then put it in the fridge…you say nothing about refrigeration so I am taking it out. It’s not a huge batch so I am thinking that using it every evening after my nighttime shower I should use it up within 2-3 weeks.

I love it!

Hey Matthew! I suggest you grate it with a microplane or simply put it in a fash blender (like ninja or vitamix). That will be more accurate than me trying to figure out a weight.

I bought unrefined raw cocoa butter but it is too hard (even at room temp) to scoop “tablespoons” of. I have a weight scale so is there a equivalent in grams that I can use?

Thanks so much, really appreciate it! I Guess I’ll just have to look into getting some of those 😛
