Cocoa Butter is pressed from the cocoa bean as a
byproduct of the chocolate manufacturing process. Unaltered food-grade cocoa
butter has a pleasant chocolate smell and is readily available online from
handmade soap product suppliers. We've grated cocoa butter into our own bath
water for soft winter skin, since cocoa butter is an excellent emollient,
leaving our skin soft and smooth. Unlike other oils that penetrate into the
skin, cocoa butter remains on top and lays down a protective layer, preventing
the skin from drying out.
SPA INDEX COCOA BUTTER HAND AND FOOT CREME*
1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup dry oatmeal
4 tablespoons cocoa butter
3 tablespoons honey
Process the almonds in a blender or coffee grinder until coarsely ground. In a
bowl, combine oatmeal, cocoa butter, honey and ground nuts. Rub into your
hands and feet, cover with cotton gloves and socks, and leave on overnight. The
next morning, remove the gloves and socks and rinse. You'll be delighted with
your incredibly smooth skin. This remedy is ideal for soothing hard-working
hands and feet because it gently exfoliates old, dead skin and nourishes new
cells.
Do you know why some products are called "creme" and others "cream" Creme is a commonly used term to describe a the consistency of substance which doesn't have dairy as an ingredient. For instance, heavy whipping cream uses actual "cream" whereas "Mock Whipped Creme" does not. One of the few products
that we notice doesn't follow this rule is "cold cream" which doesn't have dairy.
